The vice presidential candidate’s wardrobe and accessories were reportedly lavished on her by the Republican National Committee, to the tune of $150 000 in September alone!!
The Republican National Committee appears to have spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August.
Lady Palin’s fancy threads came from designer retailers like Sak’s Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale’s. Valentino is a favourite of hers. Oh, as for the cost to maintain her sexy secretary ‘do and perfectly powered faced? Nearly $5000.

Miserable, unqualified cunt.
Where’s the stupid bitch who was talking all that nonsense about Michelle?
From the NY Post:
THE source who told us last week about Michelle Obama getting lobster and caviar delivered to her room at the Waldorf-Astoria must have been under the influence of a mind-altering drug. She was not even staying at the Waldorf. We regret the mistake, and our former source is going to regret it, too. Bread and water would be too good for such disinformation.

Quite the fiscal conservative.
I am looking for some idea and stumble upon your posting
decide to wish you Thanks. Eugene
The AP is reporting that their investigation has turned up a new charge of excess spending on her part by taking her family members on official business trips when they were not requested:

Of course someone will find a way to not only justify this, but bring up Obama in the process. Hey, I got no problem with Saray looking sharp as the tack as I’m not a supporter. I do wonder if her fans will let it slide that the RNC spent, and she accepted……………let’s not forget that little part; she accepted it……….in one months time an amount that could pay for 4yrs at a fair to midding college for 3 of her kids. I could pay off my home and still have enough left to remodel my kitchen, basement, and take a vacation too!
I ain’t mad at her, but I do hope some who think she’s Joe the Plumber with ovaries finally see she’s not above living it up on someone else’s dime.
^^^
Make that Sarah not Saray.
Obviously the recessions is not hitting all Americans equally. Nice to know the Republican Party is on a fashion spending spree while many citizens face joblessness and eviction.
^ sounds similar to that one investment firm who received a bailout but spent like $400,000 on a spa weekend at the St. Regis hotel.
Anyway, I’m curious to see what she and her family looked like pre-makeover
Come on you nasty Repug trolls, where are ya? $150,000 on clothes? I thought ole pittbull in lipstick and the First Dude could understand the troubling economic situation Americans are facing. Remember John Edward’s $400 haircut? That was a repub talking point for how long? Where is the dumb bitch who was going around perpetuating the LIE that Michelle Obama ordered terrorist room service? “Iranian caviar?!” Nice to see you mixing your flat out lies with your politics of fear in one nice smear. Cowards, WHERE ARE YOU?
The report also says that McCain spent over $8600.00 last month on makeup and I don’t even want to know how old he really looks under all that maybelline. The Republicans are proving once again that they are nothing but hypocrites because I remember how the mocked Hillary Clinton and John Edwards for their expensive haircuts. Watch Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the other wingnuts try to make this about Obama. Well, Obama raised $150,000,000.00 last month and we need to know about Bill Ayers and Obama will raise your taxes..blah, blah, blah.
-
Republicans have managed to rally on their side all of those intellectually lazy , the religious dogmatic, the anti-science morons, and all of those with only individualistic economic sense to create an identity of collective pride trough military force, dogmatic moralism and corporate fraud!
-
What a nation that is.
-
Oh, lets rag on her - unlike how much your god has spent on tv ads, and shit.
Should I list numbers, and when I do, you all will eat crow
Now isn’t this something to think about?
If Barack Obama would apply for a job with the FBI or with the Secret Service,
he would be disqualified because of his past association with William Ayers, a known terrorist.
If he is elected President he would not qualify to be his own body guard!
(and the majority of the people don’t care)
Perhaps there are SOME out there who are beginning to get ‘the picture’. The following is a narrative taken from Sunday Morning’s televised ‘Meet The Press’. and the author is employed by none other than the Washington Post!! Yeah……the Washington Post of New York and Los Angeles Times fame!! Must say that I’m dually impressed………………
From Sunday’s Televised ‘Meet the Press’ Senator Obama was asked
about his stance on the American Flag. Obama Explains National Anthem Stance
Sun, 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, General Bill Ginn’ USAF (ret.) asked Obama
to explain why he doesn’t follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
The General also stated to the Senator that according to the United States Code,
Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171… During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. At the very least, ‘Stand and Face It’
Senator Obama Live on Sunday states, ‘As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides, Obama said. ‘There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like To Teach the World To Sing.’ If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.’We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It’s my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct ourselves as the nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails. Perhaps a state or period of mutual concord between our governments. When I become President, I will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from
disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the nations of Islam an unfair injustice. My wife disrespects the Flag for many personal reasons. Together she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has her views and I have mine’. Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put aside my hatred. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path of hope. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country’s First Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America.
WHAAAAAAAT the Hell !!!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it right. This could possibly be our next President.
I, for one, am speechless.

Just a bit - you can reasearch it on your own, correct?
Claim No. 1: Obama’s campaign is funded by the rich, big corporations and foreigners.
Not so, according to campaign finance records. Nearly half of the $600 million raised by Obama to date has come from wealthy donors and special interests. Obama’s allies months ago dropped their ad linking Republican rival “Exxon John†McCain to Big Oil after it came to light that Obama had taken far more money from Exxon-Mobil than McCain.
(However, one giant loophole the politicians wrote into the law allows contributions in amounts of $200 or less with no donor identification. Obama claims that $300 million in campaign funds was given by these small donors, and he won’t release their names and addresses.
McCain has released his whole donor database, including those who have contributed less than $200.)
Just read it and research it yourself.
Bunch of blind people
As in the wise words of ole judge Judy- “looks fade, dumb is forever..”
Terry Anderson is an African-American talk show host working in Los Angeles. While the rest of mainstream media is blasting McCain and Palin and leaving Barack Obama alone, Anderson has investigated and found 39 Barak Obama half/partial truths, including Obama’s Asian, um, foreign experience connection.
Here is the list that Anderson put together:
1.) Selma March Got Me Born - NOT EXACTLY, Obama’s parents felt safe enough to have him in 1961 - Selma had no effect on his birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google’Obama Selma ‘ for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)
2.) Father was a goat herder - NOT EXACTLY, Obama’s father was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.
3.) Father was a proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY, Obama’s father was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.
4.) Obama’s family has strong ties to African freedom - NOT EXACTLY, Obama’s cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya . It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Obama’s half-brother, Abongo Oba ma, is Odinga’s follower. Obama interrupted the New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers burned Christians’ homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter..

If you don’t believe any of this, feel free to check it out for yourself. I doubt you will take the time to do that however, because it takes much easier for you to flag it off the board when the TRUTH is staring you in the face than it is for you to check the facts for yourself.
Question for all the Obamafiles on this site taking issue with the McCain campaign spending 150K on Palin’s wardrobe/hair on the campaign trail. Are you going to complain just as vehemently when ObamaPelosi are spending billions more in TAXPAYER dollars to fund new gov’t spending? Of course not. Oh that’s right, you all actually believe Obama when he says he’s going to have a balanced budget. Suckers.
Why are liberals upset about this? This isn’t taxpayer money we’re talking about. It’s DONOR MONEY people willingly gave to the party. Now if this were TAXPAYER DOLLARS being confiscated from hardworking, productive Americans and redistributed to irresponsible, non-productive people as Obama advocates, then we’d have a story. The fact that liberals on this site fail to grasp the fundamental difference between these two things says a lot about their intellectual abilities.
“Smears are real”, you’re absolutely right, but you fail to consider one thing. Obamafiles don’t care about facts. Even the most damning facts won’t dissuade them from voting for this charismatic politician from Chicago. Why? because facts appeal to a person’s intellect and these people are acting on pure emotion–or as Chris Matthews admits, “tingly feelings running up his leg”. That’s why when confronted with incontrovertible fact that contradicts their prejudiced opinion, they simply ignore it. For example, explain to them that historical evidence proves that lowering taxes increases revenue and raising taxes on business and the “rich” drives businesses out of the country and results in higher prices passed on to consumers and they simply don’t care. Jealousy and the primitive reflex to take from people that have more than them is too strong an impulse for them to resist. They think like children. Which is why, as people mature into responsible, productive adults they tend to migrate to conservative politics.
There you are you stupid bitch anonymous. Why don’t you answer the question since it was YOU who tried to attack MO with a lie about her room service bill. See how you show yourself to be full of shit and lacking in any credibility whatsoever? You have no ideals or morals, you just attack the other side because you are bankrupt on the issues. Sad and pathetic. You are a cunt.
i noticed you totally ignored my post asking you to explain yourself. Will you ignore these too? LOL, stupid ass.
#14 you’ll be eating crow on November 4th! OMG I cannot wait!!!!! Smears for Real is a fucking idiot who needs to get a life. I don’t care who you’re voting for; why in the hell would you list all of that random bullshit?!?!?! Take your political rants to another blog, dumbass! And I love the one about Obama being 1/2 Arab. OK! Have you SEEN his father?!?!??!? You people are really fucking stupid. And it’s people like Smears that scare me. What in the world will you do with all that pent-up rage come election day????????
23…Actually “Sarah Palin’s gaping hole” it was me, not the other people you’re attacking, that referenced the NY Post article about Michelle Obama, which they’ve since retracted. To call me a liar, bitch and a cunt for referencing an article that I had no reason to believe to be false is a little ridiculous, don’t you think? Their source was the liar, not me. Is Barack Obama also a “liar”, “bitch” and “cunt” for not just referencing a later retracted article, but actually and demonstrably lying about his relationship with Bill Ayers, ACORN and his stance on meeting rogue leaders with no preconditions? Why not just admit you’re a hypocrite? Hey, so long as you’re accusing me of being a “cunt” with “no morals” who “attacks” people, maybe you can explain to me how your personal attacks and name calling support the idea that your candidate, Barack Obama, is the guy that’s going to “bring people together” in harmony. Eagerly awaiting your answer.
22…You couldn’t be more right. HYPOTHETICAL question for the Obama voters on this site. If authentic video were to surface of Barack Obama smoking crack (a la Marion Berry) as recently as 3 years ago, or video of Obama in the pews of his church clapping approvingly while Jeremiah Wright was screaming “Not God bless America, God damn America”, would you still vote for him?
“Republican’sOut”, “Hmm”, “Sarah’sGapingHole”, “TheMirror”, this is for you: http://www.ldsmag.com/ideas/081017light.html
