Sarah Palin's PAC spent $1.4 million in 2015, gave just $23,500 to campaigns

Ex-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin launched her political action fund, Sarah PAC, in 2009 with the stated purpose "to help elect principled conservative leaders" across the country. But the latest Federal Election Commission filing indicates that money raised in small contributions by Sarah PAC is going to consultants, speech-writing services, direct-mail appeals, as well as stays by Palin in fancy hotels.

Sarah PAC raised $950,000 in 2015, spent a total of $1.4 million, and donated just 23,500 to 45 campaigns. It also...

So, you decided to pick a fight out of the blue.

I see.

I think we know whose constant insults and personal attacks on this site are tiresome...

Your comment makes no sense at all. Do you happen to live in Chicago?

It makes perfect sense, but if you can’t understand it...never mind. No I don’t live in Chicago.

There is nothing out of the blue. You’ve been insulting me and many others at every opportunity.

You’ve gotten threads zotted and had numerous of your posts deleted.

But you dont learn.

Did someone appoint you Site Bully & Monitor while no one was looking?

In 2015? There aren't many elections in 2015.

The campaigning never really stops, it just ebbs and flows.

Oh, so you don’t know what is really going on here, other than some headlines you come across. Got it.

I guess we should have all lined up and voted in ‘Chewy the maniac from Mexico’ - THAT makes far more sense.

If Rahm the vile sneaky bastard that he is, destroys the chock hold the teachers unions have, it will be a great achievement. Other than that, he’s as useless as all the rest.

But don’t let me get in the way of your Trump hatred.

I just never thought I'd live to see the day that Rahm Emanuel was praised, without any sense of irony, on FR...just to defend an indefensible conman.

No surprise here. I’ve always Sarah PAC as a fund to support Sarah’s travel and political activities, office expenses, etc. Just to keep her in the political arena as long as there are people to support her PAC.

Since that is pretty much the stated purpose of the PAC, (SarahPAC is a federally registered political action committee (PAC) dedicated to building Americas future by supporting fresh ideas and candidates who share our vision for reform and innovation.)

I don't see any problem here.

"Sarah PAC raised $950,000 in 2015, spent a total of $1.4 million, and donated just 23,500 to 45 campaigns"

That is pretty pathetic. I never would have expected this from Governor Palin.


I must say it really looks bad. Why in hell would anyone drop over four large on NYC swank hotels, if they could do anything else?

Surely there have got to be better uses for the money, and in an election year I'd expect to see more political donations.

You have a lot of nerve to make that charge considering the things you’ve done recently.

I have the thread(s) and posts in my possession.

I doubt that you can say the same about me, driftbeat. :)

He’s a Trump supporter - we figure Trump’s got 58 percent of the vote, or more, or less...

Good, then go away and pick a fight with someone else, as you ALWAYS do.

It's easy to scroll your history and see you do it every other day or so.

Apparently, that's the Forum Bully side of you. :)

Maybe Ted Cruz could send me a Shaming Letter...

As for you, nobody takes advice from pompous bullying n00bs like yourself.

Haven't you noticed that your nails-on-a-chalkboard schtick gets ignored more often than not?

Or that people just don't answer you, hoping that you go away and bother someone else?

It works, most of the time - unless your Wheaties got wetted that day...

Ya keep trying to turn it around. Which means you know what you’re doing but your ego won’t let you stop.

and you keep answering me

and turning threads into worthless material with your bullying

Shame on you

Right.

I’m p.o.’d now, though. All I did was check prices on the Astoria site, and now I’m getting ads from them when I open my e-mail.
