McCain/Palin Hypocrisy

  • Ok, I’ll hang my head in shame … at not being able to figure out what Obama’s going to do with the $150,000,000 he raised in September alone. Or where it came from, as he himself knows it didn’t come from grandma’s cookie jar on top of the fridge.

    I have three comments: One) This isn't Palin's money, it is the campaign's money. If they think it is worth the money to use/waste on appearances then it is their prerogative. They wouldn't have spent the money on it if they didn't think it was going to be worth it. They wouldn't think it would be worth it if the American public wasn't as shallow and superficial to care about what she wears but they obviously do. The power of the media.


    Two) It isn't the tax payer's money. It is donations. Being fiscally responsible with tax payer's money is essential, but donations are to be used as the campaign sees fit.


    Three) This huge bill is representative of one month and only one month. Look at pictures of her before the month that she gets chosen as a VP candidate. That should show you the real Palin who shops at Wal-mart.

  • I don't really have much of a problem with them doing this either. It certainly does not top the list of problems I have with the McCain/Palin ticket. This does show that it is NOT Obama who is the elitist.

    Actually, I have no problem with the campaigns decision to spend $150,000 on clothes and make-up if they choose to do so. I would just comment that anyone who doesn't criticize this but DID criticize John Edwards' haircut is a hypocrite.
