Did Sarah Palin really auction off the governor's luxury jet on EBAY?

Question

This woman is awesome! Down with wasteful government spending!!

Answer 1

So, that is enough to make her a Vice President. Give me a break.  Enough already.  

Answer 2

Yes - apparently at a loss of over $600,000.

DOWN WITH STUPID POLITICIANS!

You Republicans surely do love to p**s away taxpayer dollars. Don't you?

Answer 3

Governor Palin tried to sell the jet on EBAY, but there were no bidders.  The state ultimately sold the jet offline to a businessman for 2.1 million dollars.

Answer 4

Supposedly, she put the jet up on eBay, but it did not sell.

She ended up selling it privately for about $500,000 under book value.

Answer 5

I don,t know about that but maybe she threw herself in with the plane for one night,,huba huba    DINO

Answer 6

Sold it at a huge loss for publicity--that sounds irresponsible to me.

Answer 7

The state sold it after three attempts on Ebay.  This political move on her part cost the State of Alaska $600,000.  If she had sold it through normal channels such as through a reputable jet broker the State of Alaska could have received at least $600,000 more.  If she had sold it to a Republican company she might have gotten twice the value of the jet.  Instead, she decides to grab some political headlines.

Answer 8

Yes. She lost $600,000 in the deal. Yet this is "awesome"?

Answer 9

what's wrong with that...she made a mistake, you people here are perfectionist?

Answer 10

Did you vote for Bush both times, or did your parents?  If McCain messes things up even more in Iraq by getting the country even more deeply involved and destroying our economy in the process, will you always vote conservative b/c Republicans are the only patriotic honorable people??  

Did you know that the budget was balanced when Bush first took over?  Have you read about the state of our economy.  Have you noticed that the US can take no action to protect Georgia and the Russians know it??  Ever think tying our troops down in Iraq had anything to do with that?  

At what point will you stop supporting the GOP? When the country is bankrupt even though they talk big on stopping wasteful spending or when Bin Laden finally succeeds in getting a nuke into our open borders.  Will you ever stop supporting the GOP???

Answer 11

Put it on Ebay but couldn't sell it, then made a deal and sold it for the listed loss to a private party.  

Answer 12

She sold it to obama.

Answer 13

Yes she did put it on Ebay

And as far as the mornons who are whining about the money she got for it, it goes to show you have NO idea how much gas those things guzzle in a month. It can easliy be tens of thousands of dollars.

Answer 14

Wasting public money for her own self gain at a net loss for the public. That sure makes us proud to be Americans where at least we know were enslaved.

Answer 15

I think it sends a message . look out washington
