When I went to Drudge this morning, the paid ad at the top urged me to contribute to Sarah Palin’s PAC to help 2014 GOP candidates.
If you check out SarahPAC’s latest FEC filing, you’ll learn that while she raked in $5.1 million in the last election cycle, she gave only $298,500 to candidates she supposedly supported.
My first response to reading this was wondering why she wears such cheap and tacky wigs. With millions flowing in, she can obviously get the quality human hair ones.
Look, if you want to support a candidate whom Palin supports in 2014, donate to that candidate directly (and then please get yourself some help…). Otherwise, you’re just giving money to prop up Palin’s increasingly pathetic attempts at celebrity and relevance.
We worry about these PACs having outsize influence on elections. Really many of them are just slush funds, just another clever scam. They threaten our wallets much more than our democracy.
