Sarah Palin's House Hit List: No Money to Favored Candidates So Far

[Generic Other]

Sarah Palin put the bull's-eye on 20 U.S. House races on her Facebook page last month, but didn't donate to favored candidates in those districts during the first quarter of the year.

Although her SarahPAC took in $400,000 in the first quarter and had more than $900,000 in the bank, it gave only $7,500 to candidates between January and the end of March, plus an additional $2,000 to two other PACs. None went to Republicans in the races she targeted.

Consultants: Almost $243,000 went to consultants, including almost $45,000 to PAC treasurer Timothy Crawford (some of it for expenses), plus $21,500 for legal services. NorthStar Strategies took in $50,000, and Orion Strategies $30,000. Consulting services included media strategy, fundraising, candidate research and grassroots coalitions.

Travel: More than $42,000 went to travel, including more than $7,300 to de-ice private planes. Destinations for Team Palin included New Orleans, Cincinnati, Dallas, Phoenix, Nashville, Salt Lake City and Minneapolis.

Fundraising and postage: The PAC spent more than $31,780 on postage and more than $25,000 on Internet fundraising.

1. This comes as a complete surprise. . .

2. Interesting fact about the de-icing

Apparantly the de-icing took place on a private plane in Ft. Lauderdale and the temps that day ranged from the high 50's to the mid 70's. That de-icing was billed and paid twice to the tune of about 15K. Why would a plane need to be de-iced in conditions like that?

3. Is Sarah chiseling or being chiseled from?

So far her family gets away with everything.

4. From your link

"The donations to SarahPAC came from 174 donors, which included 25 unemployed contributors and 57 retired individuals. Thus, almost half of the donors were people who were unemployed."

Why on earth are these folks giving her money? Crazy!

5. Sarah Palin has discovered how easy it is to separate a Teabagger from their money

and boy is she practicing it with elan. No regrets either

8. There's something I just don't understand.

Why aren't all the class action lawyers out there JUMPING on shit like this?

I would think it a golden opportunity for the donors to strike back against the fraud she has perpetrated.

Wondering the same thing about the RNC, although I realize in their case they're fairly protected due to political protections but Palin is NOT running for anything...can ANYONE just set up a pac and demand money from people and when they send it use it to finance their lifestyle? how is that not fraudulent!?
