"How am I paying for it? SarahPAC," she said, adding that she's traveling in "our own personal motor home that we've had in Alaska."
Palin didn't answer when asked how long she's owned the bus that's adorned with the Constitution and a larger-than-life version of her signature. When asked, twice, how much her "One Nation Tour" has cost four days into the trip, she got visibly irritated.
"Check SarahPAC.com," she said. "I don't know why in the world you would ask a question like that. I'm just thinking about America and our foundations and our freedoms and our opportunities. Why would you ask something ..."
ABC News pointed out that she often talks about the economy and how much money we're spending.
"What does our economy have to do with how much we're -- I'm not asking you to pay for a penny of this trip," she said.
Cue the national anthem: the conversation was cut short when a group of school children visiting the monument launched into "The Star Spangled Banner."
SaraPAC.com does not currently offer any information about how much money has been spent on the tour. It does, however, feature a big green "Donate" button, inviting visitors to help fund Palin's trip across the nation.
donate????? => Adverisements on sites like Drudgereport.com also encourage Palin fans to donate.
Presstitutes need to prove they are serious an demand to know how many times a day Sarah changes her socks......
Till then its all just speculation an hyperbole from little leaches like sheeeeila the sheeples socialist.
Ha haaaaaa!!! Suckahhhhh!
She tricked you into visiting her website.
If Sara Palin wants to start a fund to promote Sara Palin and her political ideas, why should it be any of the government's business?
If individuals want to donate money to Sara Palin's fund, why should it be any of the government's business?
If Sara Palin wants to use the money from the fund to promote Sara Palin and her political views (the stated purpose of the fund), why should it be any of the government's business?
We don't actually know that Sarah was irritated or flustered. That's only what the reporter claims.
You know he took 500 people with him to Europe last week? Now that’s a price tag I’d like to see.
Peelousy is one of the “neo-nobility” of the “ruling class”.
How dare you compare her to a commoner such as Palin.
So, how did little Ø'Bammy get Sixty Three Million in illegal foreign campaign contributions? Why were they all in odd amounts? Hmmmmm?
http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/obama-illegal-donations/2009/12/12/id/341673
"And more than 37,000 Obama donations appear to be conversions of foreign currency.
According to a Newsmax analysis of the Obama campaign data before the latest figures were released, potential (illegal) foreign currency donations could range anywhere from $12.8 million to a stunning $63 million in all. With the addition of $150 million raised in September, this amount could be much more.
Yea sista Marikar, the LAST thing little Ø'Bammy needs to be shining light on is the subject of money.
However, now that YOU have brought it up, sure, lets go there.
Obama's Foreign Contribution and Campaign Finance Fraud, The Timeline, The Facts, The Work

Heads up folks - she tweets.
etc.
drinking problems,
drugs,
gambling,
kids with drinking/drug problems.
And wouldn’t her trip actually be helping the economy? The have to spend money everywhere they go.

Frankly, given the snarkiness level of the whole article, I don't trust the contention that Sarah got irritated or flustered. Of course she might have made a face out of frustration, and the writer blew it out of proportion. But I've seen video of her on this trip, and when asked snarky questions like this, she's been nothing but gracious to the questioner.
But even if she did get irritated, I wouldn't blame her one bit, because it was clearly a question stemming from the MSM's desire to find something bad or illegal about her trip. Sarah is only human, and gets annoyed with stupidity, as do most of us.
What they're fishing around for is some way to nail her with the INCOME TAX CODE. They are attempting to say either (1) she converted some PAC money to personal use, but didn't pay income taxes on it or (2) the PAC is spending money in a way NOT ALLOWED BY THE INCOME TAX CODE.
Do you recognize that this is a situation where the government is using the income tax code to regulate political speech--telling people how they may or may not spend their money when it comes to politics?
Guess what? If there was no income tax code, the government couldn't use it to tell us how we could or could not spend our money. The Fair Tax isn't primarily about economics, it's about reducing the government control of our lives.
She should have told them...George Soros and The Chinese. Then laughed and walked away!
Trump might be a good campaign manager....
Indeed. I can imagine the conversation:
Reporter: Where is this money coming from???
Palin: Oh, here and there, various concerned citizens. It's easy to donate at my site.
Reporter: Easy! Easy! No need to get so angry!!
Palin: What? I'm not angry. You asked. I answered. There's really not that much to it.
Reporter: Whoa! Simmer down honey! Gee, you're really out of control on this!
Palin: Okey-dokey. I think I'll be moving on now. Nice chatting with you. Have a great day.
Reporter: Hey! Security!! I think Sarah is having a meltdown!!!
“how much does it cost the US taxpayer every time “the won” goes golfing?”
Or flies to Ireland for a pint of Guinness

Oy. Good point.
Isn't it time for those occupying the White House and their extended families, friends and hangers-on to visit Europe or somewhere? How much will that cost, MSM?
FROM: The White House, Washington, D.C.
Your request for an interview with President Palin has been denied.
