"Sarah Palin raked in around 2 million dollars as the of the end of the fiscal year reporting for SarahPAC shows, but instead of helping the cause, Palin is helping herself to the tune of one million dollars for paying for her private jet charter, billboard faux bus tour, expensive suites, while donating only $65,000 to candidates."

She's a genius.

We lolok at televangelists who shamelessly milk gullible, good people and enrich thelselves.

This is very similar. IMO she is a narcisssistic sociopath, and that appeals to many on the right.

Opposed by P-BO, on the other side, that appeals....

Some idiot started another thread about the non-entity.

just be careful, because, like a cloud down here in florida, sometimes it just brings shade; sometimes it just brings rain; sometimes it fries your ass with a lightening bolt...

underestimate fluffy and insubstantial things at your own peril...

Nice. Definitely not a stupid woman. (Willfully ignorant is something else.)

a PAC dedicated to supporting Sarah Palin is spending money on supporting Sarah Palin?

PAC money has strings on it. Spending 63K for her books is questionable at best, and possibly illegal, although I don't know that for a fact.

A fool and their money are soon parted. And there are a whole lot of fools in this country these days.

Somehow I doubt any of you contributed to the PAC, so what is it to you how the $$ is spent?

It is funny how she attracts so much ridicule and hate from the left. If she were a nobody, then the left wouldn't care.

It's not taxpayer's money; it's donations to support her. It's not like she's using an Air Force jet as her private plane at tax payer's expense [cough] Nancy Pelosi [/cough].

It's like posting to an army of parrots. Explain it again and again, parrot repeats the error.

Good for her. That's what a PAC is supposed to be used for. To pay for promoting a candidate. And WOW at 2 million just in a pac. That's pretty huge. Obvious she has a ton of support.

I'm hardly on the left, and I think she's the worst thing since, well the worst thing.

If she spent money from this in a way that she wasn't supposed to, then she needs to be taken out and beaten. If not, then she still shouldn't be bankrolling her books, and yes I'd say that if she were a Dem.

Books were probably used to give away at events which is promoting which is perfectly fine.

I hope you get your way and SarahPAC buys her the GOP Presidential nomination. She should be good for at least 30% of the vote and if edhe plays her cards right maybe even 45%.

That is if she doesn't spend it all flying around in chartered private jets before then.

who cares if she wastes all her money failing to win the republican nomination? I didn't/wouldn't donate a cent to her and I assume that those that did are too stupid to care what she uses it on.

We still have to wonder if Sarah is a team GOP player, having the money and building up a pile of her fellow GOP politicians who owe her is good way to go for the 2012 GOP POTUS nomination. But if its apparent that Palin is out for only Sarah, why should the rest of the GOP rally around her?

We can also take a similar message from Nixon 1968-1974, because Nixon was only out for himself and did very little for the GOP. And when Nixon got himself in a hell of a scandal, and finally became a huge net liability to the GOP, it was the GOP who led the way in greasing the skids for Nixon's removal. The GOP had far more than the 34 votes needed to sink Nixon's removal in the Senate. But the real test of friends lies not in fair weather, it is and remains who will stick by you when the going gets tough.

And because Sarah Palin is not very smart and has a gift for putting both feet in her mouth, she needs to build up as many IOU's as possible.
