Eleven percent of the candidate donations went to Iowa, a key 2012 presidential state with its early caucuses, in the form of $5,000 each to U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley and GOP gubernatorial candidate Terry Branstad.Sarah Palin and tea party candidates like Angle, Paul and Rubio need to explain their cozy relationships with the big corporate interests. Also why do they support even more huge tax cuts for the rich.

July 12 2010 at 1:05 PM Report abuse Permalink +3 rate up rate down ReplySarah Palin has created a PAC for only ONE reason. That reason is to put more $$ in her personal bank account. She raised $1 million, but only donated $87,000 to "other AGOP candidates"? Hmmmm. Real Estate agent gets big payout? Hmmmm. SarahPAC buys THOUSANDS of copies of Sarah's book? Hmmmm. (nobody else will buy it, so she has to use campaign contributions to buy it herself, which puts even MORE of that money in HER PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT.
You may like Sarah, and get a warm and fuzzy when you see her on TV, but just know that her PERSONAL motivation is PURELY about SARAH, and more money for SARAH.
She has uttered NOT ONE WORD about political agenda, platform, or anything else. Her "ads" are 100% ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK.
Remember people, it is easier to SCARE people than to EDUCATE them. Sarah palin is taking great advantage of that FACT.
No use being in politics unless you can become wealthy off of it.

Why do you hate and fear Sarah Palin. I would suspect because
she is a Republican.
I think that Sarah Palin has shown herself to be down-to-earth and level-headed and practical. Why should she not choose who she wants to be interviewed by after the stupid way Katie Couric interviewed her? Who cares what she reads on a daily basis, I would find it hard to read anything if I were the mother of five and the Governor of anywhere. I think the time has come to examine the electoral college and to eliminate this antiquated and ridiculous way of voting. With all the technology we have today, who needs it? No other country votes this way.
July 12 2010 at 12:32 PM Report abuse Permalink -1 rate up rate down ReplyYour post makes no sense. These are two unrelated ideas and have no real bearing on the thread. As far as Ms. Couric's interview, I think it was right to the point; the woman has no real basis of knowledge and no concept of foreign affairs at all. The fact that Russia is right at her back door is a non-sequitor, Russia is no longer our enemy. Her lack of knowledge and her extreme religious views are reason enough to make her unfit for national office, let alone VP. It's a sad statement about our society that she actually has followers who would pay money for her poorly-written missives.

However she seems to have little understanding of the important issues of the day. She is afraid to be interviewed by anyone other than FOX NEWS who are the right arm of the republican/tea party establishment. She will never be taken seriously until she answers questions from the real media.
July 12 2010 at 12:03 PM Report abuse Permalink -9 rate up rate down ReplyShe is taken seriously by us Republicans.
July 12 2010 at 5:22 PM Report abuse Permalink +3 rate up rate down ReplyMoney to campaign is one thing, voter fraud and intimidation is another. Can we keep our polling places safe and honest? Looking at past elections, one would have to question the integrity of our process. With todays' technology, there is no excuse for "dead" voters, illegal immigrant votes, unregistered voters, votes for one candidate being counted for another, etc. This is absurd, and the American people need to demand that some of the billions of our tax dollars being spent on the fish and field mice, needs to be invested in secure and accurate voting mechanisms. Hand print recognition is available, and not all that expensive. When you register to vote, you submit your hand for scanning. When you vote, you again submit your hand for scanning, and that is cross checked with the identification you carry. Much better than the punch cards, hand tallying, paper records, etc., that are in use today, and subject to all sorts of fraud. Absentee ballots should have to be postmarked at least 3 weeks prior to the election, and be the first to be validated and counted. This seems to be the area with the greatest opportunity for fraud.
