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...

She drew first blood with her parroting of the scurrilous charges against Ted Cruz by her new crony-capitalist sugar daddy, Donald Trump.

LOL!

1035rep is a Cruzer pretending to be "dismayed" and "concerned" about his phony donations to Sarah's PAC.

The charges were proven ... so much so, that Cruz was forced to apologize .. Cruz got caught, and everyone , including Carson called him on it

Don’t serve Saint Teddy Cruz and you get destroyed. How wonderful. Typical of Cruz showing zero integrity.

Are you actually accusing Cruz of disseminating this information ?

Maybe because Trump got her endorsement and she has injected herself back into politics in a very public way, she has left herself open to renewed scrutiny and painted a target on her back and in a way Trumps back...?

Instead you blame Cruz !

Pathetic...

A lot of people here don’t agree with your insults. They don’t have to agree with your choices of candidates, but they don’t have to agree with your tone.

lol. Such a silly popman. It is now elevated to National news. Trump has stopped because FINALLY the voters will know the story and see how Cruz has zero integrity. That’s it. Finished. You can’t jump up and down screaming “stop”.....to late.

Palin’s 2014 endorsement of the Democrat ticket for Alaska Governor-Lt. Governor was shocking. Her bizarre campaign for Trump signals her final break with Conservatism. Profligate spending on expensive hotels and resorts are perhaps only a symptom of that break with her past.

Gov. Palin is as real as it gets.
DSS met Sarah and Todd several times in Alaska. They are the real deal, sno mobiles, fishing in the Arctic, hunt, kill skin,cook, and eat their moose.
In 2014, some 21 of 23 national candidates endorsed by Governor Sarah Palin won, helping shift power in Congress, both houses.
A donation to Palin is money well spent to fight the corrupt and the crazy.

Sarah jumped the shark a while back. Her snubbing of Cruz was the end of the line for me, and I used to really like her.

Anybody remember this meme that I created last election cycle?

Just like that fake anti-immigration group ALIPAC, which raised $360,000 and spent a ridiculous $2,000 on candidates.

I’m sure you’ll be happy to prove that assertion with facts of exactly how much he’s donated to veterans’ organizations and directly to veternans individually, over the last say 25 years.

TIA.

Nope, Cruz did nothing wrong. The Carson campaign made it sound like Carson was walking away from the race and CNN reported on it. All the Cruz campaign was pass the breaking news to its field staff, just like every other breaking story of import to the campaign.

Now let’s talk about important stuff like Ted Cruz’s 97%-100% conservative/pro-libery voting record in the U.S. Senate.

Palin is showing the same crooked behavior that the establishment does in a larger scale.

This is her way of sustainaining herself. Spend PAC money on herself. She probably has no other income. If that is true, check the foodstamp and other welfare rolls for her name. THAT would be GOLD!
