Palin Responds to 150,000 Dollars Spent on Wardrobe
PITTSBURGH,PA –Sarah Palin sat down with Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity this evening and responded to the report that the RNC spent over 150,000 dollars on her and her family’s clothing. This is the first time she has responded to the report since the Politico broke the story two days ago.
“The RNC spending money on clothes–those clothes are not my property. We had three days of using clothes that the RNC purchased. If people knew how Todd and I and our kids shop so frugally. My favorite shop is a consignment shop in Anchorage, Alaska called Out of the Closet and my shoe store is called Shoe Fly in Juneau, Alaska. It is not a you know–it is not 5th Avenue type of shopping.” Palin said, “But RNC purchasing some clothes that are either returned or they are going to charity It is not my property.
It is unclear what Palin meant about using the clothes only for three days. Palin has been dressed in the clothes bought early on in the campaign–many in Minneapolis where the RNC was held–throughout the two months since she has been a candidate.
“Every governor has traveled with family when it is a first family function and it has always been charged to the state that’s part of the job. What I did was sell the governor’s jet so that we could fly commercial and save the state a heck of a lot of money, which we have. We cut the state’s travel budget by about 400,000 by flying commercially. It’s nothing that–it’s not unprecedented.”
Hannity asked Palin about recent comments that Pennsylvania representative John Murtha made where he referred to his constituents as both “racist” and “rednecks.” She responded that “we love Pennsylvania” and “there is nothing redneck or backwoods about any of this.”
The topic of voter registration fraud also came up and Palin repeated her claim for the Democratic nominee to “disavow” ACORN, “It would bode well for Barack Obama if he would stand strong on this one. Have a backbone and disavow that group.”
Hannity also asked the GOP Vice-Presidential candidate if she was excited for Election Day, only 12 days away, and Palin acknowledged that she is “anxious for the 4th.”

Why did Obama spend $608 million to buy the Presidency? Why did Obama spend $800,000 on ACORN? Why is Obama planning to spend $2 million on his coronation party? If Obama spends this much on himself, what we he do with your hard earned tax$?
Obama makes AIG executives look like kids at Chuckee Cheese.
These are questions the NY Times should ask.
What’s she trying to do-look like those terrible New York elite? I wonder who the Wall Street cowboys who created this world-wide mess normally vote for?Why doesn’t Fox do a poll of Wall Street fat cats?Because the majority of them will say they are long term Republicans !! They supported Bush,Greenspan,trickle down economics and now McCain.Reject these failed policies (or rather,lack of policies). And for the sake of sanity,how on Earth do you think you can sell that Obama is following in Bush’s footsteps!!The Republicans have run a cynical,morally bankrupt campaign and there is going to be plenty of blame to go around after the election.
HAHA SHE REALLY BELONGS ON SNL………AS FOR REDNECKS SHE SHOULD KNOW ALL ABOUT THEM ISNT HER DAUGHTERS BABY DADDY A SELF PROCLAIMED REDNECK…………JEEZZ SHE IS DENSE
thats right it is the peoples clothes, share….
McCain, Palin, Obama, and Biden need “to walk the talk.” Palin should have got the Louis Viutton the GOP bought for her daughter at that consignment shop. It is that type of views on spending that politicians need to rethink. If the people we elect think they can do whatever they want with our money, why should wall street think any differently?
you mean that three days of clothing cost 150,000 dollars. Well did the RNC think about the people who have no jobs, no food, no home. People would have thought more of her in her simple plain clothing. At least that would have look like she was Honest, and real and not fake. Seams to mean they need to think about the American people instead of clothing and appearence.
$150,000 for clothes she is only going to wear for 3 days? Does she even think before she opens her mouth? Nothing she says makes any sense - must be the beauty-pagaent school of interviewing, talk in circles and no one will notice your complete ignorance!
Share the clothes Sarah….oops isn’t that spreading the wealth?
People, let’s just get down to basics. We have spent most of this election hewing and hawing over whether Obama sympathizes with America-haters, radicals, and terrorist. But we’ve forgotten one thing, that John McCain is an undisputed America-lover! Love for this great country is programmed into every cell of his body. He has demonstrated this on the battlefield and in the halls of congress, through a lifetime of service. He cannot be deterred from doing what is best for this country either through money, intimidation, or threats. This is why DCI, the lobbying firm hired by Fannie Mae crooks to undermine republican support for a regulatory bill in 2004, targeted 17 senators but did not target McCain even though he was clearly going to support the bill. Let’s just get it over with and vote him into office! nuff said!
McCain/Palin 08
Did the people notice when Hillary Clinton was spending $5000 on her pantsuits or when Obama was spending $3000 on suits and Biden was spending $2000 on his suits?? NO! Heck Cindy McCain was spending enormous amounts on her clothing also, but duh shes a millionairess and can afford to! AND barbmorse59: “Seems to me they need to think about the American people instead of clothing and appearance” I guess its ok for Obama to spend half a million on TWO tv ads instead of the American people huh??
Hmmm…$150,000.00 for clothes that will be donated after the election
OR
A couple of MILLION for a celebration party???
Let’s talk about something more substantial….
John McCain Made A Blunder?
Is She REALLY Unfit for VP?
Why Should Sarah Palin Be Taken Seriously?

It will benifit the RNC to hold on to Sarahs clothes when this election is over and auction for charity. I would benifit if Sarah would wear my designs. Everything she touches turns to gold. Try to find the glasses she wears. Sold out everywhere I went!
How much has obama spent?
It looks like the liberal elitists are coming out of the closet again! Sarah and her husband do not make the millions that Obama and Biden make, so what is so wrong with the GOP providing some clothes for her? It seems that if Biden can earn almost 3 million dollars and only give $3600 to charity over TEN years, that is OK. He and Obama just want to take more of OUR money to give to fraudulent organizations like ACORN, AND THAT IS OK????
You should be more concerned about the fact that Obama couldn’t even be a Secret Service Agent because of his past associations with terrorists and yet we are supposed to elect him to be President of The United States of America!! What a joke him and his lifetime Washington insider partner Joe Biden are!!
This is a very confused lady. She reminds me of George Bush…when you get confused, become aggressive and try to change the subject. The three day comment was her in a confused state.
Well..that explains it then! $150,000.00 to put lipstick and pearls on the whole Palin clan! The RNC is so in touch with the common folk. They are, afterall, going to rip it off the backs of the Palins and give it all to charity at the end of the campaign. How generous! Guess they think poor people are so desperate they will wear anything? Kind of brings to mind Seinfeld’s Elaine leaving the muffin stumps at the homeless shelter! Not sure who would want it!
Sarah Palin got a great deal, I’m sure the Rep. guy who purchased the clothes for her knew she needed help. I don’t believe she was going to donate the clothes until it was discovered by the media, the Rep. party came up with a good story to cover. The clothes look great on her.
Thanks for posting unheard………
GO McCAIN-PALIN!!
This is to Barbara the nurse….. I believe the correct way to speak is “the baby’s daddy”, not baby daddy… let me guess you are voting for Obama?
Her patent lack of moral compass should be fairly clear to all by now. It reminds me exactly of Ted Steven’s $30,000 dollar chair that was loaned to him 7 YEARS AGO. Everyone understands that she needed a new wardrobe and that she shouldn’t need to skimp. It’s a McCain campaign expense. She and the RNC violated the law. It’s not a major legal violation but it certainly fits her MO, “These petty little statutes don’t apply to Me, I’m Sarah Palin.” This babbling about ‘three days’ while the loot is still on her back blows my mind. Before her term is up she’ll have a heap of legal trouble.
McCain, by all accounts, is trailing in this election. In the next few months, he will get over the loss, and have time to reflect on his campaign. I’m fairly well convinced that he will come to the conclusion that picking Sarah Palin was his biggest mistake. She energizes the base, and that is all. His other huge mistake was his belief that the war was going to be the single biggest issue. When the economy started tanking, the wheels came off his campaign, and he never recovered. His issue became back page news, and his pick of Palin made him look foolish. This clothing expense is almost laughable, considering who McCain and Palin are trying to appeal to. They have simply made one bad move after another.
She spent several years worth of salaries for fancy clothes from the most expensive stores aa she’s only gonna wear once… all thanks to hard working republicans donating their hard earned money. She should be ashamed.
Obviously, Governor Palin and her family did not own clothes that were appropriate for the events. The Palins do not have the cash for such items like most Americans, so what is wrong with the RNC wanting to outfit the family to a certain standard? The clothes are to be donated.
What about Michele Obama’s little meal the other day with the Iranian caviar, champagne, lobster, etc at the Waldorf? I’m sure it was not shared with the less fortunate. Who paid for that?
I guess Michele’s response would be “Let them eat pie”
There are more important things the MSM should be covering, but then they are digging hard to try to keep the negative focus on Governor Palin rather than items like, where is Obama getting all of his money? What about the real analysis of the economic situation? Why hasn’t anybody demanded Barney Frank be put into jail for his role in the Fannie Mae mess? Who are Obama’s foreign affair advisors and what are their backgrounds and their positions on Israel? What is Obama’s position today on born alive children survivors of failed abortions? What was Obama’s role in Kenyan politics and the results? Of course, we will never have any real investigative journalism performed since it would involve actually doing domething else than sitting at a computer surfing the “true” facts” on the Internet.
“Why does Obama spend 600 million campaigning?”, you ask? Because the American People donated money to his campaign so he could spend it, thats why. Did the American People donate to the McCain campaign so that Sarah Palin could go on a shopping spree? Obviously according to you people, Yes.
It is weird that the only thing that the left seems to be able to do is nitpick on Gov. Sarah Palin. If it is not her clothes, its something her daughter did, something her ex-brother in law alledgely got fired for tasering his son and threatening his wife (her sister) life — he should have been suspended.
Anyhow…how much does Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Biden spend on their clothing..bet me that there has been some designer charity going to them. Apparently they are the only ones that can bargin shop or accept a temporary donation. (I know someone will point out the Michelle Obama got her designer label outfit and a “discount” shop like Nordstrom’s Rack). Has anyone questioned the travel expenses of the Obama family? Looked into the PAC money?
Thanks Rita for pointing out the Hillary spenditures … many (sic Media) fail to “remember” that.
Just think about all the money Obama has taken from the americans in donations. Those americans could of used that money for food on their tables or gas to go to work. He didnt even blink an eye when he spends all that money on his campaighn!
Country First or is it “Clothing First”
Give me a break. We’re in financial crisis and NYT has nothing better to put on their front page than this? How pathetic! Just another example of left-leaning media and libs trying to destroy Palin.
I’m not really supporting the 150,000 thousand dollars that was spent on her, not at all, but does anyone ever stop to think,” WHAT THE HELL DOES OBAMA NEED 160 MILLION DOLLARS FOR?”
No one needs that kind of money. He’s buying the election, not campaining for it. The man is a fraud, no news agency will get on him enough to keep him from getting elected. We are going down the path of Europe and will be a more socialist country like Europe in the next 10 years.
Everyone is all over Palin for the stuff that has happened to her, what she was accused of, her buying clothes with RNC money. So dumb. Why doesn’t the other news agencies bring up the fact the Obama is wasting 160 million dollars on virtually nothing. Why doesn’t a news agency actually interview William Ayers, or members of ACORN? The issues that are brought up are all brought around speculation on what someone may or may not have done. Not on the facts of what OBAMA really is.
THANKS AMERICA FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
I’ve already sent my absentee ballot in McCain/Palin
I hope the heartland of the US wakes up and saves our country from the liberal coasts.
Do her campaign supporters get to decide which charities get the designer clothes? (Because clearly those in need could use a little Valentino.) Oh… you mean the McCain campaign gets to use their supporters money to “dole out the goods as they see fit????” Hmm….
The fact that Joe the Plumber, around whom John McCain is building his last campaign stand, made use of welfare several times could really backfire on McCain once the news that Joe the Plumber was a grateful welfare recipient breaks.
Joe the Plumber admitted on FOX, no less, that he’s been on welfare — his parents “a couple different times.” The hosts quickly try to guide the discussion away from Joe’s welfare days because they are so focused on hammering Obama’s “share the wealth” message.
Does Joe not know welfare comes from taxes? Does he not feel any responsibility to, maybe, repay the favor?
Welfare is to help people get on their feet. I’m glad the program helped Joe and his family; I am not critical that his family needed to use the program. In fact, I am happy it was there to help him and many other Americans. However, Joe’s being upset because he has the potential to go from welfare to $250K/year and he may have to pay an additional $900 to help other families who suffer with health issues or job loss is almost incomprehensible.
Dear DEE,
The story about Michelle ordering lobster turned out to be false and the New York Post retracted the story the next day. Michelle as it turns out was not even staying there so what was your argument again?
How much has McCain paid for his clothes, I haven’t heard anyone mention his clothes and who bought them. I have lived thru many elections and this is the first time the price of clothes, for the candidates, has been an issue. Why now? Is it because someone or many are jealous of Palin? Go get’em girl.
It this the best the Democrats can do?
I would like to know more about Obama’s tax plan.
I would like to know more about Obama’s Ayers connection.
I would like to know where Obama’s birth certificate is.
I would like to know if Obama has duel citizenship.
I would like to know exactly where Obama plans to take this country.
Even if I knew all these things, I’d still vote McCain/Palin.
Democrats for McCain.
Well, Chuck Obama isn’t buying the presidency, we the people are!! Get your facts straight. We the people want Obama to win soooo bad that we are donating to his campaign by the millions. I am a middle class wife that would probably take out a loan to help him win. That is how disgusted with the repubs and the McPalin ticket that I am. So don’t blame Obama because he has so much money to spend on his campaign, blame the people that want him to win so bad. Furthermore, Palin is claiming this “Joe Six Pack’ mentality, so she should be shopping at Walmart.
Slice it how ever you like, but this is democracy at its best!! Sorry Chuck…. Majority rules!
Why was Obama the second highest recipient of money from Fannie behind Dodd?
HELLOOOO!
Why was Obama the second highest recipient of money from Fannie behind Dodd?
She didn’t buy the clothes, they were bought for her by an aide, when do you think she has time to go shopping at a mall? Tired of all these attacks on Sarah! Keep it up, it only fires up her supporters!
Petty issues abound. It is good to know that Dem Fems that run for office are given a free ride…. I was shocked SO many fessed up to accepting freebies. I wonder just how MUCH their clothes really cost in terms of special favors? Careful criticizers… that answer could come back to bite you HARD. Why is it Palin critics don’t seem to know when to shut up? :0
Give me a break???? The GOP says they can relate to joe the plumber, mainstream america? How many plumbers or those of us in the mainstream can afford to spend $150K in clothing allowances for our families??? Open your eyes America, the GOP is out of touch with us! I was voting for McCain not anymore. Let’s not forget it was GOP who got us into the war, who got us into this financial mess and who is leaving all of us a Mess! The new prez. will have a colossal mess on his hands!
Please - please - please -Tell Sarah to Keep those clothes!!!!!
She works very hard for us and she deserves them.
How can $150,000 spent on the V.P. candidate compare to $800,000 the Obama campaign gave to Acorn affiliates to corrupt the voter registration process and steal the election?
America doesn’t deserve John McCain and Sarah Palin - but God forbid that Obama should win.
The things that Sarah Palin is being bombarded with don’t even come close to the things that the media is giving Obama and Biden passes on.
The polls may show that Obama has 45-50% of voters behind him - but someone needs to do the math and realize that there is still another at least 50% out here - and the Democrats don’t speak for us and they do not know what is important to us. There are some things that are actually more important than the economy - morals for one.
Peggy in S.C.
Tell Sarah Palin to KEEP THE CLOTHES!!!!!
She works very hard for the RNC and she deserves them!
How can $150,000 compare to the$800,000 Obama gave to Acorn affiliates to corrupt the voting process and steal the election?
Or the 2million he is already planning to spend on his victory party?
Although the polls might say that 45-50 of the people are for Obama - someone needs to realize that there are still at least 50% of us out here that are not and they do not know what is important to us - for some of us - morals are more important than the economy.
America does not deserve John McCain nor Sarah Palin - but God forbid that Obama should win the election.l
I would pick a Moose hunting, lip stick wearing hockey mom over a kool aide serving jacka$$ from Chicago anyday!
Sarah Palin attended college in MOSCOW!!!!
She is the Manchurian Candidate!!!!
why can’t people leave her alone? She shops at Walmart and she gets attacked, she shops at Nieman Marcus and she gets attacked. Double standard? If the clothes were used for 3 days, it was probably used while she was meeting with all of the foreign dignataries. Would any of you meet a leader of a foreign country with clothes out of your own closet? Have some common sense.
She sold the governors jet, putting money back into Alaska’s coffers. Even if it was sold at a loss, have you ever bought any car or a boat that increased in value after use? By using domestic commercial airlines, she was not only saving state money but also supporting the airline industry.
I would rather have someone who is conscious of how tax dollars are spent rather than someone who wants to spend your donations on Greek columns and pre-mature parties.
It figures that Obama people would make a fuss out of her clothes but nobody is asking Obama
how much he and michele are spending on clothes????
It is typical that the democrats(socialists) would pick on something so petty because they really
don’t have any thing that they can pick on Mrs. Palin about without lying.
Just keep the facts on Obama’s corrupt friends and associates. Just think Aires as sectretary of education,farakan secretary of state, Davis who recieved a $20, 000,000.00 grant as secretary of the interior, pardon rezko and make him ambasador to Iran. Just imagine what that crowd will do with the tax payers money!!!!!! Go John and Sarah.
I’m commenting again on this.
Are people really that out of touch with real issues than to keep harping on Palin?
Taxes are going to rise, I will probably be paying around 25% when it comes down to it in a few years, and I pay 17.8 right now. Thats middle class is paying people. We are going to end up like it was during the Clinton Administatration. 50% for big business? How are they supposed to pay their middle class workers (managers, truck drivers, etc). Teachers are going to hurt even more under the Obama plan. Please please please people wake up and see what this is going to do. Its going to help in the short term, but in the the years to come, its going to cripple us.
We are not the WORLD, we are the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
We are not socialist, we are a democracy. We are not the same as EUROPE, we care about our people who are hard working, not some people who don’t want to contribute to society.
Who cares what PUBLIC financing bought Sarah Palin.
After this election I think that fund raising for a canedate should be capped, because the spending for Obama is just insane.
I find this outrageous that they are looking into Palins clothing and Obama gets a pass on his background, if this is what is required to make you look bad then we are in a lot of trouble if Obama gets in. The Obama campaign is running scared so they are pulling out all the stops just to get a head. I don’t want a Pres. that is so under handed, just think what he will do to the little guy.
I can’t believe all of these people who actually think that Palin is a good person. She is a money hungry, selfish, dishonest, all about me type of person. For all of you who are falling for her and McCain’s lies, why don’t you try investigating a little more about who is lying and who is not. I think you will find that your candidates claims are either lies or misleading. I’m not sure if you can read so maybe that’s the problem. Who knows????
If any of you republicans out there listen to the Howard Stern poll he took in New York, you will understand why the Obama fans on here are clueless. All they hear is what they are told by Obama and Biden. Im still laughing about what Biden said in the primary about Obama and how he turned around so fast that Obama is now ready to be the President. Biden” pinhead”
Townsend is a perfect example of someone that doesnt know the difference between a like and the truth.
Not only she’s spending donors money for expensive clothing, but she’s using the Alaskan taxpayers money for family travel and staying at her own home after becoming Governor for almost a year. Recently reported on KTVA (Anchorage, AK), 10/23, 12:01 pm AKDT, there’s another investigation initiated on her for running a opaque government and her relationship to mining company is in question.
I can’t believe that there are so many people who are falling for Palin’s line of lies. She is not a good person. She is a money hungry, dishonest, selfish, all about me type of person. I think that if you do some investigating you might realize that your cadidates claims are either false or misleading. Maybe you can’t read, though. That might be the problem. Palin has lied about so many things and has been called out on them. Why can’t you see through all the lies???? It’s just crazy!
Big businesses dont pay taxes….the just tack it to what they produce….cars, food, clothes, medicine ect. The people end up paying our taxes and theres. Obama is going to ruin this country more than ever.
To Rita T
Palin is selfish and money hungry?
You need to seriously rethink what you are saying. Most polititians are corrupt or have their own interests ahead of the country, but we are voting between McCain and Obama, and Obama wants more of our hard earned dollars for taxes to give more government hand outs to people who don’t want to work. He wants to nationalize health care which will raise taxes for nearly every American so people who don’t work or don’t try to better themselves can have the same benefits as a hard working American. He wants to take control of education away from the states.
OBAMA pretty much wants to take away the point of having 50 states an instill federal government on everything.
That is not the answer, but sadly thats what our country is voting for.
Keep being blind and being a critic of Palin, vote for more taxes, less national security, national health care which we will all pay for, and nationalize education. Because its better that way!
People can’t be serious.
Oh and the last time a dem was in office we had the largest downsizing of the US armed forces along with 1% pay raises for our military personnel. nearly 3-4% lower than the annual inflation rate. And people say our democrat elected leaders are for our miltary. GET A CLUE PEOPLE.
McCain/Palin
(i already sent my absentee off for them)
Sarah Palin double talk!
Just two days ago, in a rally in OHIO she declared hersel as “Redneck Woman”.
How can she make a comment about Rep. Murtha ,for calling certain part of PA, racist or redneck?
An IQ Question for Sarah Palin:
premise
Some rednecks are racists
some racists are rednecks
Sarah Palin is a redneck
which of the following is true, somhow true…, probably true ?
(a)S,Palin is racist
(b)she is somehow racist
(c)she could be racist
(d)she is not racist because she is redneck
(e)cannot be determined
Well, spending money for election canvassing is not the same as buying cloths for personal use. Lets face it.
But Sarah Palin has a nature of using public money for personal use and for her own family and abuses power….. I won’t vote for Republicans this time cause I can’t see another 4 years of America being messed up. I think this is the last chance for the counrty for a real change from Bush administration!!
Hmmm…$150,000.00 for clothes that will be donated after the election
OR
A couple of MILLION for an Obama celebration party???
Let’s talk about something more substantial….
John McCain Made A Blunder?
Is She REALLY Unfit for VP?
Why Should Sarah Palin Be Taken Seriously?
Question: What is America’s first line of missile interceptor defense that protects the entire United States?
Answer: 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard.

Answer: 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard
Question: Who is the Commander in Chief of the 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard?

Question: What U.S. governor has a higher classified security rating than either candidate of the Democratic party?
Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska
Question: Which party has children in the military defending the United States of America right now? Which party because of these family members has a higher stake in where our military is headed? Answer: Republicans, Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin
And, yes there are really places in Alaska where you can see Russia across the small stretch of ocean between us and them.
And, yes life is precious to us, especially the innocent lives of the unborn and babies who have survived a botched abortion. They do not deserve to have their life ripped away by those who feel they may be inconvenianced and would rather an innocent pay with blood the ultimate price for their bad choice(s).
We do not need someone running our country who WILL NOT PLEDGE ALLIEGANCE to the county he may one day head up or who can not even pass a background investigation. Tooooo many questions about the missing years of his life in elementary school, middle school, high school and college. Toooo many bad choices like cocaine and who are his friends anyway? I haven’t heard of any besides, well youv’e heard mention of them in the news. Is there anyone else out there?
Obama wants to turn America into the story “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie…” America is on its way to becoming a socialist, freedom repressed and lazy society, because why work when it will just be taken away from you and given to someone else, or if you can get it handed to you without your having to do anything but wait on them to decide when, where, and how to gift it back to you. You only have to give them the power to take away your rights and your freedoms. Rather than making everyone poorer but more “equal”, except those in power, show us instead how to reach up for the American dream that lures both hard-working Americans and immigrants from all over the globe through the tried and true, Democracy, Capitalism, love of country, family and God. This is what will make us and keep us strong.
Please do your homework and check out the facts. There are plenty of places to do this. Don’t just choose ones that support your political parties agenda. Hear the words from the candidates themselves.
And pray, the United States of America, picks the best person for the job ahead.
The clothes are on her back! Who is she kidding, we can see the evidence. We saw the daughter dragging the Louis Vuitton handbag while Mommy carries the Moose tote. Consignment store, right! It reminds me of how she lied about the ethics violations she committed in Troopergate. We all know what the report said but she continues to lie. I really think this woman does have narcissistic personality problems.
I am not sure how you spend $150K on clothes. Perhaps Joe the Plumber could explain this to me. Anyhow, Palin’s clothes were financed by GOP supporters. If folks want to give money to McCain/Palin so she can ditch her ‘Hockey Mom’ outfits, so she can fit in with the Wall Street crowd - that’s their business. The McCain campaign will be donating all of her clothes will be donated to charity after she looses. Sounds like she will be spreading the wealth….
To unheard: No one disputes the fact that Governor Commander in Chief of the Alaska National Guard. We understand that this is a responsibility of anyone who serves as the Governor of Alaska. President Bush is the Commander in Chief of all our armed forces. So what’s your point? Neither of these individuals worked there way up through the ranks of the military. They are elected politicians. In contrast, when Republican General Colin Powell endorses Obama – it means something.
What frustrates people is that with all of her so-called, foreign policy experience – Palin can’t even answer a few basic questions on her own credentials. Outside of “seeing Russia from her house”, I have not heard a single intelligent remark regarding her foreign policy experience. I don’t care about job titles or her security rating.
So she really is down to earth.
Not a celebrity like Obama, she wears frugal clothes, yeah you becha.
She’s not concerned with petty things like looks (facial hair), clothes etc. Shes concerned with the REAL America.
The real America that has thousands upon thousands to buy clothes. Oh wait shes going to donate them to some poor out of work washed up sitcom stars from the 80s.
Go Palin.
So, all you socialism-hating McCain supporters think Obama’s “buying the election” now. I thought you were opposed to public financing as socialist? Isn’t Obama raising $600 million an example of the free market?
Obama listens to a racist, divisive hate mongering, anti-American preacher for over 20 years and blows it off as a “distraction” and it doesn’t even get mentioned in the media.
The guy couldn’t even pass a military security clearance check if he had to.
But somehow Sarah Palin’s suits make front page news.
What a JOKE. Keep the clothes Sarah.
ITS AMAZING HOW THE MEDIA WOULD ATTACK A WARDROBE ISSUE AND AN AMERICAN CITIZENS WHO WANTS SOME INFORMATION ABOUT A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, AND NOT FOLLOW UP ON REAL NEWS LEAD THAT WAS EXPOSED BY JOE THE PLUMBER.

To Nick… Like I said… visit your fact check and you’ll see who is lying. Good for you for sending in your vote early. Too bad it won’t matter. All Republicans are so single minded that you just can’t see a different side of anything. You just keep believing the lies.
Most of you are so off base. First of all it is McCain and Palin that call themselves Mavericks. So to go out and spend $150,000.00 in campaign money on clothes is just wrong. She is Governor of Alaska and you mean to tell me she does not have any clothes. Her family made over $170,000.00 last year. If you are going to run a campaign on Joe the plummer you just don’t spend that much, and remember her family recieved clothes also, not just Sarah. The reason you can not put this on Obama because his family purchase their own clothes.
This wealth distribution is hogwash. Remember this the rich does trickle down cost. If they are taxed 3 points which is not ground breaking like most of you make it seem, the wealthy would just offset with more write-offs or simply pay the tax; But its the middle class that runs America financially. The rich can only make money if people are buying their products. It is not like you are taking the rich earnings and that check is handed over. You are allowing the middle class breathing room to get back on their feet in order to start buying goods and services in which the rich will eventually see three time the revenue. Believe me America will benefit from this. Right now the middle class is not buying anything and it is sinkinking the market, that is why we have this 700billion dollar bailout. If not America is bankrupt. We have had 8 years of tax cut for the wealthy and they still ship jobs overseas and depress the financial market. That is why we are in the mess we are in. The market have been suppressed with the thousand of loss jobs and de-regulations. So Mccain can not truthfully call himself your friend, because he has been part of sending your jobs overseas. Do your research it is their. I thought he was a good guy, well at one time he was.
The issue over Sarah Palins clothes is the dumbest, most small minded drivel I have ever heard. People commented before that she was frumpy, so she now has new clothes, big whoop!. Compared to the amount of money Obama has spent to buy this election its peanuts! Why do people NOT care about election fraud and association with domestic terroists but they care about clothes. By the way lets see a
To Nick…Like I said… read your fact checks and you’ll see who is lying. Good for you for sending in your vote early. Too bad that it won’t matter. All of you Republicans are so single minded that you will never be able to see a different side of anything. That’s alright, though. You just keep on believing the lies.
To Nick…Like I said… read your fact checks and you will see who’s lying. Good for you that you already sent in your vote. Too bad that it won’t count. Keep believing the lies!!!!
Im a dem and i really dont care about this. Every campaign wastes money, its a fact. This is old hat.
go Back and listen or READ the FULL interview…….She said that $50,000 of those clothes were returned after THREe days, the ones that were not worn or altered. She said another $50,000 worth of clothing is still in BOXES and have never been worn. Those will go back as well.
So basically she needs to explain $50,000 worth of clothing that was purchased…does not seem that unpractical to me. I know I do not have $50k to spend on clothes, but I am not running for any office either.
I am with another poster on this blog though:
“Why did Obama spend $608 million to buy the Presidency? Why did Obama spend $800,000 on ACORN? Why is Obama planning to spend $2 million on his coronation party? If Obama spends this much on himself, what we he do with your hard earned tax$?
Obama makes AIG executives look like kids at Chuckee Cheese.”
We would like to know what Obama is doing with his $600 million in donations since the media decided they needed to know what Palin was doing with their donations.
CYRUSK…..get real. She was merely making a point that if Murtha is going to call all of these down-to-earth people in PA Red Necks, then she must be a red neck too.
Believe it or not, not all of us bought into the left wing indoctrination during our primary and college educations. I do not need Obama or Pelosi thinking for me anymore than I need them taking more of my money and giving it to people whom either refuse to succeed or did not pay their dues in order to suceed.
I agree…………….The MSM will dig into Palin’s clothing allowance for several days but they will not dig into WHY OBama refuses to show his college transcripts, refuses to show his college thesis, refuses to show anything he wrote while he was president of the harvard law review, refuses to show is full length vault copy of his birth certificate and it fighting it tooth-and-nail to keep it disclosed.
Better yet, don’t we all have to show all of the above at some point if we state we have college degrees, were born in the US, wrote certain pieces for certain “things”? I know we do here in Texas anyway…..but I guess Obama gets a free ride on the POlitically Correct Bus…..God forbid he get called out on the table for anything…it my embarass him …..
