$150,000 in Clothes Being 'Lent' to Palin

"Obama could save everyone's home from foreclossure with his $604 million in the bank and he's asking for $10 more from each of his supporters, who have already given too much already."

S Adams,

How much has the RNC spent?

How much has the McCain campaign spent of taxpyer money?

Right wingers went nuts over Edwards $400 haircut are now bending over to defend $150K in clothing.

Hypocrisy they name is right winger.

McCain could have saved seven families from foreclosure (20k apiece) & had ten grand left over to spend on his hussy's MILF costumes. But no... who cares about stuff like that anymore?

Democrats=Hypocrisy

"How about his doctoral dissertation; seems like an odd thing to want to keep hidden. We Americans still know almost nothing about this B.O. " Ron

Well Ron, the reason you have not seen a doctoral "disseration" (dissertation) is because Senator Obama didn't write one. Its like this fellow - you graduate from law school with a juris doctorate. Law students do not write doctoral dissertations. They do however, have to pass a state bar exam and do have a doctorate when they graduate from law school.
If you don't know much about Senator Obama it has to be because you have not bothered to find out. He has written TWO books about his life, has had numerous articles (many totally false) about him and has been on the political trail for almost two years. If you watch the news (other than FOX) you might just learn something about this man. Otherwise, you can just remain the same ignorant person you are right now.

"Isn't it against some law about using campaign money for personal use?"

Yes McCain-Feingold prohibits the campaign from spending money on personal items. Which is why the national party bought the clothes as opposed to the McCain campaign.

Seems to me that $150,000 worth of clothes would have to count as income. And since Palin doesn't work for the Republican Party, how do they justify paying her?
No other candidates are allowed to use campaign money for clothes or even haircuts, (remember the flap about Edward's haircuts?) Isn't it against some law about using campaign money for personal use?

What you readers fail to realize is that if you had the spirit, the ambition, the initiative, the political sense, the money, and whatever else it takes to run for office, you would probably be doing the very same things these politicians that you deride are doing. FAce it, you get to know the underhanded things that the press gets word of. Think of all those thinks that you never hear about. AND... if you were running for president of the United States, you would do what was needed to win. Let's not be hipocrates.

Furthermore, does anyone criticize the huge amounts of money that Michelle Obama spends for her wardrobe?

She buys then herself - not with campaign money or DNC money.

The $148.00 dress Michelle bought off the rack at White House/Black Market chain store to wear on THE VIEW became one of the stores biggest sellers.

Hitler filled stadiums as well but that doesn't mean he (nor Palin) aren't dangerous.

McCain could have saved seven families from foreclosure (20k apiece) & had ten grand left over to spend on his hussy's MILF costumes. But no... who cares about stuff like that anymore?

bias, and double standards, America is sick of it.

Yes, we are sick of it. A woman going around selling herself to America as middle class and understanding our pain with $150,000 in new clothes and make-up in two months. In addition she has a very nice home in Alaska built with a lot of highly questionable "favors".

The only "hockey mom" I know who can afford $100 baby outfits and $150,000 in clothes is Janet Gretzky.

"So the RNC spent more on Sarah Palin's clothes than the cost of the entire podium stage sets at two locales for the Dem. convention."

ROFLMAO!

Its so funny to see right winger desperately try and turn the page on the campaign meltdown.

This is Dukakis in the Tank!

The race is over.

doggone it. say it aint so John. I gotta return my clothes.

I don't wanna be vp anymore.

what i don't understand is,

the rnc is pulling money out of local elections for people
how do those people who are trying to run at the local rep. level feel,
they don't have enough money to compete and now palin preening and prancing around pretending to be something she is not. it is so sad and to bad for their rep. follows.

Palin didn't buy the clothes, the RNC got them for her for the campaign. But, once again, this shows the media bias, picking on some stupid thing like WARDROBE, when you sat on the story of Biden THREATENING ON NATIONAL SECURITY. Which one of these is bigger news to you? You should be ashamed.

But, since you brought it up, this is also yet another ridiculous double standard. If the male candidates wore the same suit every day, no one would notice, but if Palin did, then people woudl criticize her. What is wrong with having her look nice in her numerous speeches?

Furthermore, does anyone criticize the huge amounts of money that Michelle Obama spends for her wardrobe? And she is a useless part of the campaign.

And, if you want to talk about spending excess, does anyone criticize the DNC for the millions wasted on Obama's truly forgetable and useless speech at Invesco? What a ridiculous waste of donor funds. So, Palin's wardrobe, which can be reused and donated if necessary, is a waste, but Obama's messiah complex is not a waste?

bias, and double standards, America is sick of it.

the problem is sarah palin and the rnc
have passed her off as something she is not.
or they wanted to send one message to the suckers, while saying something else behind their back

now either she is a hockey "just like you" mom and proud of it or she is not

she had nice enough clothes as gov.
she did not NEED new clothes and did the baby need a 90 dollar outfit from a designer baby boutique?

she should have said thanks but no thanks i believe the american people will like me just as i am.

it seem to me her own party decided
she was not good enough

"YOU WOULD RECOGNIZE ME IF YOU SAW ME.. ONE DAY, ILL SIMPLY SAY RIGHT IN YOUR FACE, "YOU'RE A JERK, MAN!""

What's the frequency Kenneth!

Palin better start saving to pay TAXES on that $150,000!!!

IRS Gotcha!!!!

OBAMA\BIDEN08

"with mccain and palin-and john mccain looks like he can hardly stand to here her voice."

I would be ticked too.

Palin is an ambitious back stabber than climbed over those in front of her to get where she is today.

Notice how all her off message talk is about her and how she disagrees with the campaign.

She's getting ready for her run in 2012.

If Sarah Palin had not spent the last 6 weeks pretending to be "every woman" and concocting a fake working class accent (my Mom who WAS working class and refused to ever talk that way as a matter of pride) and told us all how she is just like us and understands our pain - then I agree completely. Her clothes would be way off limits. But she did not. The whole reason she is up there on the stage is because she is supposed to represent small towns and every day Americans and cutting government waste and excess. Every day Americans do not shop Saks and wear Valentino. Right now, I'm not even shopping at all, for my daughter or myself. This is the worst economic crisis in our lifetimes and the RNC thinks its a good idea to spend $150,000 on CLOTHES? It is an election issue. And nobody can even figure out how they managed to spend that much money. Excess, I guess. And a myopic view of what real Americans live like. It sounds like a lobbyist did it. Maybe he thinks that's what normal American women do in a recession.

So much for Mrs Hockey Mom. Even the GOP pundits are saying it looks bad for her. Her 7 year old carrying a Louis Vuitton bag? Give me a break!
