Latest alleged Palin Gaffe

[marylandkw]

Well I thought it was my turn to start a Political thread.

I could not believe what I have been hearing about for the last 3 days, every morning on the news and in the papers.

The republican party spent $150,000 on a wardrobe and accessories for Sarah Palin. And after the campaign they are going to donate them to charity.

Now can anyone explain why I am supposed to care about this? I mean really, she is running for VP Of the USA, blue jeans and tee shirts just don't cut it. If she even tried to wear the same outfit at two rallies in the same day she would be roasted by the media and Joan Rivers. I don't think I need to point this out but, I did not donate to the Republican Party

So let's review..

1. Nightmare Wardrobe Requirement
2. Running to be the 2nd in line to be the Leader of the Free World
3. Not my money
4. Country in the midst of 2 wars and financial meltdown

And we are supposed to care about a wardrobe? And before you say anything about Left Wing Media, Faux news ran the story as well, I even heard it mentioned this morning.

Incidently, I love being a man. I doubt I have spent more than $150 all year on my wardrobe

Good, I hear the surgery is costly.

I doubt I have spent more than $150 all year on my wardrobe

That says little, apples to apples baby.....

How much do you spend on your big boy toys? electronics, cars, atvs, etc.

That is the true comparison, because I doubt you spend a whole lot on feminine products either, or do you?

.

You want to pick on her Mary fine I can't barely stand to hear her speak and her answers are below par.
But she happens to be going where few women have gone and under a whole lot of pressure and eyes on her.

I realize it's an important job and she should be calm under pressure.
I am not her biggest fan but phuck respect the fact that she is breaking ground. Come on.

Cheap shots if you ask me..

I spent $12 on a new pair of tights last night. Ripped out the knee of my other pair, working on the undercarriage of the BatBoard.

[Trukrswyfe]

Sorry if that came off kinda strong, but you did call me poopy head.

If you wish to give me a bad rep. I will MOST certainly excpet.

Geraldine Anne Ferraro (born August 26, 1935) is an attorney and a Democratic politician and a former member of the United States House of Representatives. She was the first female Vice-Presidential candidate representing a major American political party.[1]

nope no ground breaking here,move along.

Well actually, it WAS kinda groundbreaking. It was no real surprise when the so-called "liberal" Democrats nominated a woman to a major ticket. But, when the Conservative....keep 'em barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen.... crowd picked one, it was a major surprise!

It was ALSO just a cheap, desperate attempt to prop up a failing campaign. And it might have worked.... had the election been held before she opened her mouth.

I agree, and that was the point of this thread. I certainly ain't no fan either but I like to debate facts and important issues not haircut's and dresses. I kinda thought the media went off track on this one. Now I need to take a shower because I am actually defending Palin.

p.s. I spent nothing on cars, ATV's, feminine hygiene products or electronics this year. I am a cheap SOB

I apologize for not know the facts better Mike.

Trukrswyfe born Aug. 1977 didn't even get to see the KING but every year around my b-day I get to hear about him.

sooooooo sorry......

I do recall, now that you mention it, hearing about her. Thanks for the lesson.

Cheers...... heres to returning the favor.

I haven't bashed either candidate, or their running mates.
It muddies the water and serves no purpose.
Debate the facts and the policies, I am right there with you.

I don't blame Bush either like it is so easily convenient to do.
Everyone wants to point the finger at someone else.

We all need to take a good long look in the mirror before we pass the blame.

The truth is we all have dirt on our hands no matter who you voted for. IMHO.

I WANT to debate facts but I must confess get caught up in tit for tat a little too easily. But I do agree it serves no purpose.

Agreeden, this is a non-issue. I'm surprised that any of the media even brought it up. If they started talking about Obama's suits, Biden's hair plugs or McCain's loafers they are all non-issues to me.

Oh ,Palin is a real Womans hero...She can't even remember or lie about which paper she reads ...DAMN that's dense . The only thing missing in her resume is Blond hair !

I didn't say she was a hero, or even hero material.

But there is such a thing as respect.

She gave birth to 5 kids, point #1
You do that and then we will talk.

She has a job outside of that, #2
I'm sorry still waiting for you to have the 5 kids to catch up.
Let me know when you get there.

She is under huge amount of public scrutiny, #3
I would never want to live under a microscope, especially in this day and age.
How about you? Mind if I hack your email and then publish it?
Hey, have you had those kids yet?


There now SHUT IT!.

1. Giiving birth to a child or a 5 man platoon is not a point that commands respect from the general public...Maybe from Mr. Palin as she mothered his 5 man platoon...But to the rest of the world outside the Palin family it amounts to jack !@$t in respectville...Plus the act is her choice no one made her
raw dog mr.palin 5 x without contraceptive ...


2. She made a conscious decision...5X...to have kids so the added burden is once again her choice and means nothing outside the Palin household...plus she was never low income ,and I'm pretty sure she managed to afford to have a daycare service to take care of her 5x man platoon...Also she's a mom 1st or should be as that's the choice made when deciding to have a child but it seems Ms Palins career comes 1st...


3.Living under the watchull eye of the media is a known part of the territory when running for or obtaining a high political office ,And the knowledge that every aspect of your life is questioned/exposed is known B4 accepting the role ...It's a fact and it's a burden accepted when she put her hat in the ring to run for VP...she did not have to do this ,Ad no one forced her...


Nope I'm not running for VP so I don't expect my emails tapped ...how about yourself ?...You keep trying to imply that every woman who decides to get pregnant is somehow owed gratitude and respect from the general public for doing so ,and if she has a job with a child she should be put on pedastal and admired for that...well once again ...NO...with exception to the father whos child the woman is bearing ...After all having a child today is a selfish choice, And by that I mean you are deciding to have a child purely for personal reasons related only to yourself not the general public ,As the general public does not benefit from this...It's not like the world is suffering a people shortage and Ms Palin and others are desperately trying to bring the populations numbers up for survival purpouse...So let's stop using Ms Palins uterus as part of her qualifications or grounds for respect...because it does not command any !

I am sad you think having children is a selfish act. I am not respecting Palin's uterus. I have my own thank you. Only one child short of her's... but I guess I am a very selfish person.

I really don't even care for Sarah. It's very likely I won't vote for her or McCain, but the bashing of either candidate irriates me. I don't bash Obama either and it bothers me the personal insults that are used to describe him. I listed things that someone could respect and there by show some r.e.s.p.e.c.t. when disscussing the politics and the politians that is all.

Jeep, can we agree on something? This is a real question, btw.

"Opinions are like A. holes we all have them, some stink worse then other.
Our A. holes need not agree but Yours isn't better then Mine."

BTW, Obama's campaign spent 5.3 million for the Greek columns that were used at the DNC convention. At least Palin's outfits can be worn more than once.

I don't care that Obama did that, I only point it out to show the hypocrisy of the MSM.
