Make no mistake. She is the Imelda Marcos of our time. The abuses will continue if they get elected.

McCain bailed on Michigan – how symbolic – and how telling.

As ridiculous as Jaz’s comment is (Biden rich? Oprah supplying wardrobes? Styrofoam columns? Palin terrific?) this was actually one of the less objectionable pro-Palin comments compared to some which didn’t make it out of moderation.

There you go again Jaz posting the exact comment again. I don’t believe McCain is getting his money’s worth with you. Cutting and pasting the exact same comments everywhere. But it does show how stupid McCain’s camp think the voting public is.

Wow… I had just naturally assumed this was a piece from The Onion, and was smirking at the first few appenders for being so gullible, when all the time the gullible one was me.

One positive thing comes out of this farce, though: it proves that every time I think the Republicans have sunk as low as they can get, they prove me wrong! I’m beginning to think there *is* no lower limit for them, and yet those who are suffering the most because of their policies and actions are *still* defending them. It is truly astonishing.

Independent of whether or not Palin’s exorbitant shopping spree was or was not funded by the RNC, either partially or in its entirety, $150,000 is a significant amount of money to be allocated toward clothing. While I am cognizant of the fact that a candidate’s aesthetic presentation may play into the voter’s perception of an individual’s competence as a leader, it would be my hope that the public would pay more attention to the comments that emerge from Palin’s prettily puckered lips than it does to her wardrobe ensemble. Furthermore, it may have been in the Republican campaign’s interest to hold on to those now wasted funds instead of whining about the undisclosed financial donations that the Obama campaign pragmatically applied toward its advertisement strategy.

Wow JAZ, this is the third website I’ve seen your exact same comment. I guess you have nothing original to add. I’m a working mom, and I’m lucky if I can afford one nice business suit. I could pay off my mortgage with what Palin spent and still have money left over to cloth all my children probably for life.

If this is what the type of spending the GOP considers important, I hate to think of what 8 more years of Bush lite would look like.

$150 K that is pretty reasonable on clothes spending for a family of 6-7 right? I think that this information was probably released by her own party to get her some free airtime on those news stations that Bill O’Reilly can’t stand because they choose to appreciate Obama and not McCain. Bill Suck it up! This is America and those news stations have the right to pick Obama as do I. Fox News needs to get with the program not expect everyone to do as they do. Freedom of Choice.

Isn’t $150,000 more than the Palins reported as income for last year?
