ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- The Federal Elections Commission has found that former Gov. Sarah Palin's political action committee gave excessive contributions to two well-known Republicans.

The problem is highlighted in a letter sent to SarahPAC treasurer Tim Crawford.

Crawford told The Anchorage Daily News that the problem has been fixed.

He said SarahPAC has sorted out the $5,000 contributions to Sens. John McCain and Lisa Murkowski, and the campaigns have already refunded $200 each.

The FEC also is looking for more information on work that people were paid to do on the SarahPAC disclosure report. Travel invoices also need to be itemized if more than $500 was spent on a trip. SarahPAC spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton said travel invoices didn't come until after the report was filed.

The FEC wants a response by Sept. 24. It says an audit or enforcement action is possible if the deadline is not met.

If it’s not her boy with Down’s Syndrome or her teen child with a baby, it’s her PAC. Would someone give this woman a break!

Also, I hope that’s the last $ her PAC gives John McCain. I’m not giving them anymore money unless they quit.

Of course not... the abuse of power by this administration is only just getting revved up.

The entire political establishment is scared to death of Sarah and for good reason!

For that reason alone she has, and will continue to have, my complete support!

It seems like every agency in the federal government has become an instrument of political action under Obama’s administration. The treasury shovels money to his supporters and other agencies harrass and intimidate his opposition, and the MSM continues to refuse to even examine these abuses. It just gets more and more blatant.

Meanwhile 10s of billions donated to the 0 are not investigated because according to the campaign “the donor gave less then $250” so they don’t have to report on it.

Exactly Why doesnt the FEC investigate all the Obama contributions that were not an even dollar amount? Clear evidence that these were illegal foreign contributions whith their exchange rate.

Too bad the FEC doesn't have the balls to investigate ACORN's campaign activities.

Come to think of it, they probably BELONG to ACORN.

Sounds like when Clinton used the IRS to go after conservatives while he was President.

Nothing new here.

But big drug companies giving $ tens of millions in free advertising to Obama is A-OK!

That’s fine. They’re just stoking the fires, and they will pay the price one day. They can’t win this war, you understand.

Heh.

My daughter, not as big a political junkee as me but a bit knowledgeable, was at my house when Karl Rove came on the TV for something or other.

“That’s Karl Rove?” she said after we both listened to what he had to say. He was showing one of his ubiquitous little drawing board and talking about something. He was calm and concise as Karl Rove is when he engages in punditry. I told my daughter that that was, indeed, Karl Rove.

“He looks like a mild-mannered professor!” she said with surprise. “All I heard when Bush was president was Karl Rove, Karl Rove....I thought he was some big burly thug guy with a gravelly voice and always wore brass knuckles.”

This was, obviously, a teachable moment.

I explained that eyebrows up number one...when you hear the libs getting all hysterical about someone, pay attention to that person. For this is someone they fear, either for their intelligence, gift of gab, electiability or any number of things that might bring their roach like behavior to light.

And so it is with Sarah Palin. Now my daughter gives me updates on the hysteria about Palin on a regular basis.

One to teachable moment 102...if the libs get hysterial over someone, think seriously about voting for that person, whoever it is.
