Palin’s SarahPAC Embarrassment: Consultants Are Cashing In
The Daily Beast ^ | Mar 29, 2013 | John Avlon

She’s baaaack.

Sarah Palin attempted to relaunch her political career and her political action committee, SarahPAC, on Thursday with a Web video called “Loaded for Bear,” which presented the former Alaska governor as the new kingmaker for conservative populists in the GOP.

The video riffed off her speech at CPAC, in which Palin railed against “the big consultants, the big money men, and the big bad media.” But there’s an irony alert ahead: the current stated purpose of SarahPAC is to raise money ahead of the 2014 election—most of which will be spent on conservative consultants.

Don't believe me? Well, this is a perfect time to page through SarahPAC’s Federal Election Commission filings, which—helpfully enough—were just released yesterday.

I give only to candidates directly.

That's how it's supposed to work. People who give money to third parties, trusting them to distribute the money, are lazy fools. But, as was mentioned many times in this thread, the most value is in the endorsement, not the money.

Sarah is twice the man that John the traitor Kerry is and infinitely more ethical than Hillary Klinton.

Thanks for posting this. I’ve come across some presumed “conservatives” since Avdon’s piece came out that were sneering and agreeing without taking the time to learn the facts behind not just his article, but the activities of the PAC he PRESUMES to know all about. A Pol with an email trail as squeaky-clean as Gov. Palin’s isn’t going to be tolerating a lot of deadwood and monkeybusiness in her PAC. Good on ya, Sarah!

“Is John Avalon gay? Why do homosexuals always have the claws out for Sarah Palin?”
Because she is a better woman than they will ever be. Simple gender based catiness.

I had the misfortune to hear this turd on the John Batchelor show. IMO he is a total hack. Since then I FF any segment that features him.

Gee, and she will do very well indeed.

And WHAT is Obama’s constant stated purpose for himself ?
Gee, hipocracy is dripping....

All this tells me is that the GOP and the Dems are afraid of her power and they intend to stop her at any cost.

The Daily Beast??? ROTFLMAO...this clown isn’t even a productive American...just another whiny faggot communist journalist who sees himself as the savior of all things progressive. How about a real job, princess? Plumber...electrician...mechanic. But you choose to ‘write’ for the Daily Beast? Loser. You bring shame to your family.

This avalon is a demon... I do not need ANYONE or ANY group to tell me that Sarah is a great leader and a woman of GOD. If “you” (collective “you” and not personal you) cannot see it...then “you” are the one that is blind.

Why do homosexuals always have the claws out for Sarah Palin?

It's not complicated, actually.

There are two reasons.

1) They want Todd Palin for themselves.

2) They know that Sarah is monopolizing the attention of all the *other* men, too.

Cheers!

Dear John Avlon.

Where did Obama’s overseas campaign cash in 2008 come from? What? You don’t care? Well then, FUJA.

FUBO
