SarahPAC contributors don't care how Palin spends their money. What a coincidence, she doesn't care how she spends it either!

Over the first half of 2013, SarahPAC took in $460,000, but spent more than $495,000. Despite its stated purpose of supporting like-minded candidates, it donated to only one—giving $5,000 to Jason Smith, a conservative Republican backed by the NRA and pro-life groups who won a special election in Missouri’s Eighth Congressional District in June by a margin of 67–27. 

In contrast, the group spent almost $484,000 on fundraising, research, speechwriting, and high-end travel. This is a comedown from the 2012 cycle, when SarahPAC raised eyebrows for spending more than $4.8 million on consultants while doling out $298,500 to candidates. 

The people funding Sarah Palin’s lifestyle and entourage were primarily small donors. Keep in mind that the Federal Election Commission requires only that campaigns and political groups report the names of those who give more than $200 in what are known as itemized donations. Small donors, of less than $200, are grouped together in un-itemized donations. Over 75 percent of SarahPAC’s donations—$341,556 out of a total of $446,880—were un-itemized. And the solicitations for small donors helped line the pockets of the consultants in charge of the effort. In fact, SarahPAC’s biggest operating expenditure was spending $87,148 on direct-mail firm HSP Direct, on fundraising. 

The Daily Beast reached out to a number of SarahPAC contributors to ask how they felt about their hard-earned money being spent primarily on consultants. “I trust her judgment and her record,” said Ronald Shuster of Hatboro, Pennsylvania, who gave $2,013 to the group. Sandra Dyberg of Vacaville, California, who gave $201.60 to SarahPAC, said she felt confident in Palin’s hiring decisions. “The consultants that she uses are good consultants,” she said. “I’ve done research on them.” No doubt.

The consultants she uses are "good consultants?" Do they mean these consultants?

The biggest individual beneficiary of Palin’s largesse was SarahPAC’s treasurer, Timothy Crawford, who made $80,500 as consultant for fundraising and compliance. Others who profited off the group include Rebecca Mansour, the aspiring screenwriter behind the website Conservatives4Palin. Her firm, Aries Petra Consulting, made $38,000 for speechwriting. Andrew Davis, a longtime Republican operative and Palin adviser, netted nearly $35,000 for research. SarahPAC also paid Carol Ryan and Marilyn Lane, two women from Wasilla, Alaska, $2,500 a month apiece for “part-time clerical work.”

You know I don't personally HAVE a PAC, yet. But if I did I can assure you that the criteria for how "good" somebody's consulting was would partially determined by how often my remarks were ridiculed on late night comedy shows or fact checked by the dispshits on Fox and Friends.

From what I have seen the only thing "good" about these Palin consultants are that they have not already abandoned her sinking ship of a career fro greener and more lucrative pastures. But once they do, and trust me they will, what will the Palin-bots have to say about them then?

At this point the few remaining SarahPAC donors are akin to the same people who call into televangelist shows and pledge a portion of their paltry retirement benefits to hold a spot for them in heaven. However it is unclear to me as to what benefit, in this life or the next, that these people believe Sarah Palin can achieve on their behalf.

As far as I can tell the benefit is all one direction. They pay, and Palin plays.

However all is not lost for these wretched souls. At least two of them, Dr Donald R Scifres, TTEE and Elizabeth Martin Wiskemann, saw the light and broke away from this suicide cult and have taken back their money and are hopefully now spending it on something that will actually help others or somehow benefit themselves.

Perhaps they could pool their money to start a Palin-bot 12 step recovery program for disenfranchised donors and disappointed horny old goats.
