misskriss 0 #52 October 24, 2008 QuoteI know plenty of women with $10-$15 / hour jobs that have label purses. What does this mean??? Really? For their 7 yr old daughter? Wow. Priorities. Look, I don't care that they spent that much money on her clothes. Sounds like fun-- it's the fact that she spent a lot of her speech at the RNC talking about wasteful spending (fired the chef and sold the plane) and how she is a regular hockey mom. The fact is that the women with $10 an hour jobs aren't walking around spending $150,000 in a couple months on clothes. Again, it's not a big deal to me except for the fact that she's trying to play like regular Joe, I mean Sarah when in fact, she's not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,400 #54 October 24, 2008 >it's the fact that she spent a lot of her speech at the RNC talking >about wasteful spending (fired the chef and sold the plane) and how she >is a regular hockey mom. From a recent interview on why people aren't accepting her: "I think they’re just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying, “You know what? It’s time that normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency.” I think that that’s kind of taken some people off guard, and they’re out of sorts, and they’re ticked off about it, but it’s motivation for John McCain and I to work that much harder to make sure that our ticket is victorious, and we put government back on the side of the people of Joe six-pack like me, and we start doing those things that are expected of our government, and we get rid of corruption, and we commit to the reform that is not only desired, but is deserved by Americans. . . Yes, Hugh. I know what Americans are going through. Todd and I—heck, we’re going through that right now even as we speak, which may put me again kind of on the outs of those Washington elite who don’t like the idea of just an everyday working class American running for such an office." She does have a point. Who among us hasn't felt the pain and embarrassment of seeing Nieman-Marcus rudely refuse to take your check for $17,540 - and then having to put your purchase on a credit card? Only a hateful liberal elitist would have no sympathy for a poor woman forced to change her payment method in such a crude manner. *************** SARCASM WARNING SARCASM WARNING ************** (just in case) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
misskriss 0 #55 October 24, 2008 In my Good Housekeeping magazine there was an interview with Cindy McCain. When asked about which issues were important to her. "Also, the economy...the economy-slash-education; I put them together. Because as a mother, I — like everyone else — have to fill my gas tank in my car. I have to feed my family. I have to be able to make sure that I can keep a roof over their heads and, with things escalating the way they are, it's very difficult." I guess it is difficult to upkeep seven homes.Cindy's outfit and jewelry at the convention still cost more than what Sarah spent shopping so I guess Sarah really is more Josie sixpack than I thought.

Add in my motorcycle and hot rod addictions.... Oh and I buy my daughters famous name label purses on special occasions too. Must really suck to try and enjoy life.

happythoughts 0 #58 October 24, 2008 QuoteAnother $4,716.49 on hair and makeup came from the GOP while wooing "Joe Six-Pack" to vote for John McCain, the records showed. And more than $5,000 went to a men's store and a baby clothing store. I think that stuff must just cost more for those people. During the Edwards campaign, he spent $400 apiece for haircuts less than a month apart. Realistically, how much can your hair grow in 3 weeks? Hillary spent $3000 total on a couple of haircut sessions. The winner was Slick Willie parking Air Force One at LAX so that a famous Hollywood hairstylist type could cut his hair. A president has his own staff for cooking and everything else. It seems like haircuts could be taken care of in an easier fashion. I have no idea what makes a $1500 haircut worth it, but there are some dummies out there paying it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From time to time, my wife & 2 daughters get their long hair cut back & donate it to the "Locks of Love". Palin would probably look pretty hot in a short-ish hair style - if she truly wanted to be a "compassionate conservative" and do the same thing.

pilot-one 0 #65 October 24, 2008 Quoteshe should have focused a bit more on her education, like Mrs Obama did. What does education have to do with anything? I have a very limited education and I make much more than that. I can think of several people that are WAY over educated that make very little in comparison. In fact they are right here on this forum. On another note I can't figure out why Palin's clothing is even brought up as an issue. This amount is paltry in comparison to what each candidate spends in the way of dining. I wonder how much Obama is spending to go back to Hawaii to visit his grandmother? You Obama lovers really have to dig don't you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
