Obama supporters who trashed Palin from day one are ranting about her wardrobe and other petty matters, while an anti-American Socialist / Marxist racist is about to highjack our government, with the help of voter fraud, and a corrupt biased media. You’d better wake up America … or, this country is about to experience an ugly 4 year long nightmare under Obama/Biden !!!

I’m sure Palin did not have proper “election” clothes to throw together in a suitcase and speed to Ohio when John McCain called. Of course she had to look good to the general public when she was announced then nominated. I’d like to know how much Barack Obama has spent on his wardrobe…but we won’t hear about that, will we?

They should have spent $150,000 on tutoring instead of a new wardrobe. Because nothing says “I’m not part of the Washington elite” like a $75,000 Neiman Marcus shopping spree.

She may look cute, but she sounds stupid. With 2 weeks to go, I guess it’s easier to make her over than to smarten her up.

This is the woman who supposedly feels our pain? Is just like us? I mean, just how stupid can this campaign get?

You take a girl from the boondocks who is supposed to be little Miss Main Street, and you make her up to look like Jackie O?

If I were a donor, I’d want a refund!

Honestly, couldn’t she just wear Cindy’s hand-me-downs? She won’t need them after November 4th, anyway.

Ambra,

The big deal is that Michelle Obama pays for it herself.

You know what, you people should go right ahead and keep bashing Sarah Palin and the Republicans for 150k worth of expenditures. There is no way the democrats have ever spent that amount of money. Are any of you going to pull up any stats on the democratic expenditures or are you just going to continue to snowball this Palin thing……Just like you snowball anything the media says…. come on people, use your heads. Start thinking for yourselves and realize that big government isn’t what we need. We need to empower the people to work for what they want, empower local governements to mandate their own laws and allow the people to democraticly operate their own small pieces of the pie. We don’t need to passify this country any longer. Seriously, do you really think that mandating large corporate taxes is going to solidify this economy? No, these companies are going to pass it on to the consumer. Rich consumers will be fine, because they can handle the increased costs. Poor consumers will suffer, because the can not handle the increased costs. So get your ass off the couch and get to work if you want to eat or if you need those 20 inch rims while you are living in a torn down shack. Don’t open your hand for a government handout.

Just imagine if McCain wins, then dies within the first year and we’re stuck with her. I’d love to see how much of our tax dollars are gonna go to her wardrobe then. She’s got nerve to say that Obama is out of touch. I think it would be safe to say that probably 80% of the clothes wont ever make it to charity anyway.

Okay, just reread that…..49k on accessories….all she ever wears are her wedding rings, glasses and shoes….49k is a lot to spend when you don’t get any bling. WTF?

Future donations to Good Will or not, 150K seems pretty steep for clothing. A St. John suit should only run around a thousand bucks, so did she buy 150 of those fugly suckers? Last I counted, there were only seven days in a week, so seven suits should do, especially when you run away from the media rather than dress to confront it.

Meanwhile, back in touch with Real Americans…

Compare and contrast even this with McCain’s $5,000 loafers.

Then tell me about Repub’s fiscal “responsibility”.

Does anybody knows how much are the suits wore by the other 3 men in this contest? Why are her clothes more important than Joe’s tie or shoes? Are we been sexist?

There’s no disputing Sarah Palin looks terrific. But when so many people are hurting economically, the $150,000 she frivolously spent at high end retail outlets sends the wrong message. How can she say she advocates for average Joes and Josephines when her *clothing* budget is more than most of us make in a year! We all need to spend within our means. The issues facing this nation are too important to relegate to staged media events, a provocative wink of the eye, slick clothes and scare tactics. It’s the Obama-Biden economic plan that can help our senior citizens, middle American families – and our college-bound children! Vote for your family’s interests, vote Obama-Biden.

[...] In case you missed this little tidbit, it just came out that the RNC has spent somewhere around $150,000 on the wardrobe of potential VP Sarah Palin. (Images here) [...]

Going back to the $400 haircut for a moment, as far as I know, Edwards didn’t use donors’ money to pay for it. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong.

Although I am an Obama supporter, I really see this as a non-story. I would have 3 concerns however if I was a McCain supporter.

This shatters the “Hockey Mom” myth about small town, non-elitist values. A good pair of CCM hockey skates can cost $400, and I’m sure many families who have a hockey player in the family are struggling to justify that expense.

Secondly, if I had made a contribution to the McCain campaign, I would be really angry if it was being spent this way.

Finally, I would be very interested in knowing about the legalities of using contributions like this, even if they are to be given to charity later.
