Why did Sarah Palin lie on her debut as the GOP VP Nomination about selling her Plane on Ebay?

Question

News reports indicate that the plane sold $300,000 under asking price and that its previous purpose was utilized as a prisoner transport to prisons located in Arizona. By the way; the buyer was an associate of Palin's Administration and contributor to her campaign, because of lack of takers.

Answer 6

Ahhhhh..... this is an easy one. She is a republiliar, she will say anything to get what she wants. Look at her god Little Bush!

Answer 7

Yep you're a little slow. It has already been verified that the plane was placed on Ebay but it remained unsold. It was later sold to a private buyer.  

Answer 8

She never said she sold it on ebay, she said she put it on ebay. God, you people are really desperate. Your the ones that turned her into a Rock Star, by attacking her. Now you can say whatever you want about her, and no one will believe you. Obama supporters have cried wolf for the last time.

Answer 9

I'm more concerned with the fact that she LIED about the "Bridge to Nowhere."  She was for it until it turned into a political hot potato.

But even then, SHE NEVER GAVE THE MONEY BACK!
