Did You Hear About Sarah Palin's $150,000 Clothing Expenditures?


Wow! You can't call anyone an "elitist" when you shop at Neiman Marcus & Saks. Those are some super posh stores for a "regular" small-town girl. I guess Macy's attire just isn't good enough for plain folks like Sarah Palin. Now, this is not really suprising. I'm sure all of the candidates spend money to look good because they're in the public eye. But it just emphasizes the hypocrisy of the McCain/Palin claim that they're fighting for the regular "joe". What's normal about spending $150,000 on clothes & makeup in just 3 months? Are they just like you & me as they claim? Hell no! I don't even make that in a year! According to Huffington Post, this is what she spent:
"Mainly, however, Democrats (in this scenario) are not prone to forgiveness. After all, it was during this same campaign cycle that Republicans belittled the $400 haircut that former Sen. John Edwards had paid for with his own campaign money (the funds were later reimbursed). And yet, the comparison to that once-dominant news story is hardly close: if Edwards had gotten one of his legendary haircuts every singe week, it would still take him 7.2 years to spend what Palin has spent. Palin has received the equivalent of $2,500 in clothes per day from places such as Saks Fifth Avenue (where RNC expenditures totaled nearly $50,000) and Neiman Marcus (where the governor had a $75,000 spree)."

The McCain campaign says that they will donate the clothes to charity after the election. I guess politicians really are like celebrities after all.

Rush Limbaugh Is A Bigot With Opinions That Are Broadcast Nationally!



Watch the video & please convince me that this is legitimate acceptable political satire!Rush Limbaugh is a despicable bigot who has been given a platform to express his oppressive views of society. When I think of how plantation owners must have acted, he somehow always seems to come to mind. He is a blight on society with his antiquated views. But apparently, he speaks to a large audience of like-minded people. There should be more outrage shown over the statements he has made. They are based on stereotypes & mendacities.
Someone wrote a comment & I don't know who because it said they were "anonymous". First of all, if you want to ridicule my opinion of "Joe The Plumber" you should be going after those who actually make a living based on deception,like Rush Limbaugh. There is nothing malicious or unfounded about what I said. Everyone knows that "Joe The Plumber" is a metaphor. So, let me ask this "anonymous" person!Why don't you want to reveal your identity?I'm not hiding behind a curtain! I hope that you take the time to leave Fox, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, & other paid commentators a message to do more thorough research before they offer their outlooks! Here are some Rush Limbaugh statements we should all be outraged by:
On Colin Powell:
"Secretary Powell says his endorsement is not about race... OK, fine. I am now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed. I'll let you know what I come up with."

On Donovan McNabb : "Limbaugh said on Thursday he stepped down late Wednesday from the show "Sunday NFL Countdown" to protect the network from the uproar caused by his statement that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was overrated because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed."

These are the kinds of statements that hurt all Americans. When people are divided, they can be conquered. To be worried about the opinions I share on this blog is nonsensical! That is why I call it a commentary because I am not a journalist. I give my take on the issues. Anyone who leaves an anonymous comment is a coward & WILL BE DELETED! Stand up to the racists & bigots of the world who get paid to spread lies & innuendo. Don't concern yourself with an unpaid blogger like me.

McCain Muslim & Christian Supporters Speak Out!


Watch this video because it shows McCain supporters challenging the stupidity of other McCain backers. There are Muslims & Christians defying those McCain supporters who speak negatively of Islam. One Muslim lady is visibly irritated & asserts that their behavior is costing John McCain votes. I think that John McCain should have clarified that there is nothing wrong with being a Muslim. The supporters in this video should be commended for calling out these ignoramuses! This type of crap is intolerable!
