And yet, even while on the McCain payroll, two $6K disbursements for "consulting/expenses" were paid to the Glebe Inc - located in Las Vegas, NV, and mailed again to Shelly Mandell's home address.

thanks a lot for defending Palingates!
Of ...Phil,<br /><br />thanks a lot for defending Palingates!<br /><br />Of course Phil Munger cannot take responsibility for what people write on other blogs. Nobody can do that. Only a Palinbot would not be able to understand this simple fact.<br /><br />Palingates is a thorn in the side of the Palinbots. We have revealed, amongst other things, for example that<br /><br />- Rebecca Mansour and Joseph Russo, founders of C4P, were secretly paid by SarahPAC<br /><br />- Bristol Palin received $ 100,000 for the cover story in the tabloid magazine "In Touch Weekly" (the money went straight into an "education fund" for Tripp)<br /><br />- Todd Palin's racing Iron Dog team is sponsored by Mystic Oil which is owned by the Venezuelan government<br /><br />- Andrea Friedman, "Family Guy" actress with Down Syndrome, harshly criticized Sarah Palin - and the most damning criticism was omitted by the New York Times and was only available on Palingates and went from there straight into the MSM (Palingates had about 100,000 page views on this day)<br /><br />- in 2009, Sarah Palin built her new "chateau" next to do her old house in Wasilla, and Palingates presented exclusive aerial pictures of the building site, taking by contacts in Alaska - the first pictures of this building site shown in public<br /><br />- Kristan Cole authorized an illegal Christmas Pillage of the old Matanuska Maid in December 2007 BEFORE the company inventory was officially auctioned - and we published the email of Kristan Cole proving this fact, which was never seen before in public. Apart from that, we published several other new facts about "Dairygate"<br /><br />- Sarah Palin's Legal Defense Fund, the "Alaska Fund Trust" is just a slush fund for the family, and that no reasons for the withdrawal of money need to be presented! In addition, we drew attention to the fact that Kristan Cole's first report of the Alaska Fund Trust is now almost one year overdue - and nobody seems to care.<br /><br />- Sarah Palin has received highly suspicious donations from oil & gas explorers from Giddings in Texas, which coincide with a $ 193 Mio "donation" of the State of Alaska to 15 unnamed oil and gas exploring companies (by law, the names of these companies have to be kept secret...)<br /><br />I have probably forgotten a lot of things, but that should be enough for the moment ;-)Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06342444888520052108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-68042020922584546322010-04-11T08:21:35.097-08:002010-04-11T08:21:35.097-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06342444888520052108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-11365716038992890082010-04-11T07:51:12.107-08:002010-04-11T07:51:12.107-08:00"Essentially, you are claiming something has ..."Essentially, you are claiming something has happened without backing up your claim."<br /><br />Au contraire, aged one.

Looks like you really riled up the anthill! It certainly raises the question of why women formerly known as Democratic women would work to advance Palin or even identify with Palin. There is no such thing as a Conservative Feminist. Palin is not a Feminist. She's a Christian Dominionist hoping to bring the endtimes in her lifetime. It is stunning and extremely creepy to me that what might be a group of influential Hillary PUMAs hate Obama so much they would back Palin to try to interfere with him carrying out his agenda, It's an agenda that doesn't seem that much different than the one Mrs. Clinton would be advancing if she had been elected. The defensive reaction and lashing out at Palingates by the Anonymouses suggests there's something going on that some people might like to not be known. Keep digging Phil and Palingates. If there's nothing to this then the ones involved will have no problem correcting the story.mochanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-1996772704029390222010-04-11T03:31:50.408-08:002010-04-11T03:31:50.408-08:00anon @ 11:37,
