This is for all the people complaining about Obama spending so much of his CONTRIBUTOR'S money on his campaign. Turns out the RNC has spent over $150,000 since September to accessorize Palin and her family. Accessorize how? Clothes, make-up, hair care, not just for Gov. Palin but her family as well. The $150,000 figure includes a shopping spree worth over $75,000 at a Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis, about $50,000 spent at Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and N.Y., more than $9,000 at a Minneapolis Macy's, and about $5,000 in make-up and hair care last month. WOW! Now that's a real example of a candidate WASTING money. That's a lot of money, especially these days. So how do the Pro-McCain/Anti-Obamaists who are complaining about Obama spending so much on his campaign justify that amount? Especially after it also just came out that she charged the state of Alaska to fund the travel of her kids to go to events with her, including a snowmobile race and a trip to N.Y. where she had a 5 hour meeting, but stayed for 4 or 5 nights. Then she amended expense reports to say they were on "official business". Also, who doesn't think Palin and her family loves all these freebies that they will likely keep after the election?

    They had a bad candidate but got behind W for reelection anyway. That is why the republican party has lost credibility and may lose the presidency and much of the house and senate

    but they havent learned.. they are stuck with a worse candidate in Sarah Palin.. and they are getting behind her

    if there know what integrity is, they have very little time to show it.

    The sight of the Palin bunch dressed in J.C. Penny and Walmart clothes, with bad hair and makeup, looking and sounding like an updated version of the Beverly Hillbillies made Cindy breakout in hives. The RNC had to do something.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    Well, I guess they had to put $150,000 worth of lipstick on that pig.

    Actually, the Palin family is a nice looking family, but nice looking isn't enough when you're in the presence of Cindy, money and power.
