Do You Think the Palin Family Should Be Dressed Well on $150,000?

The Palins were provided with $150,000 for clothing and accessories. Obviously not K-Mart shoppers, they went to stores like Saks Fifth Avenue. This amount does not include money for top-rated hotel rooms, restaurants, airline fares, and other perks the Palin family has enjoyed. Nothing but the best for the Mavericks.

Do you think $150,000 was sufficient for dressing this family? After all, hunting garb and moosehair hats just won't do for campaign rallies However, does this ring true with Palin's claim that she is a fiscal reformer who will change the ways of the wicked in Washington, D.C. especially when so many American women have cut new clothing from their budgets because of economic strife?.

    OMG, yes, yes, yes! This is crazy! But, then again, the Republicans can't have their newest Dan Quayle look seedy. We all know McCain's wife spends money on clothes and jewelry like she was Marie Antoinette!

    Peasant: The people have no bread.

    Marie: Let them eat cake!

    It pains me because I know soooooooo many people who can't even afford health insurance or meds. I have worked with really poor people who are freezing to death in winter because they have no heat. I once gave a ride to a legal aid client and she invited me in to her home for a glass of Kool-Aid to thank me (I'd taken her 30 miles one-way) and the poor woman could not afford electricity so she paid a neighbor $10 a month to let her run an extension cord from their house to her refrigerator!

    When you've seen real poverty, it turns your somach to see hypocrites talk about fiscal reform while spending money like Marie Antoinette.

    NO more cake for Palin!!

    I appreciate your attempt Ms. Me, but your effort is that of children. How can you justify the outrageous amount of dollars that the obama camp has contributed to socialism when Mrs. Palin has only made municipal examples of capitalism. It is not corruption you fear but capitalism with no reward for you.

    The thing that bothers me is not the $150,000,but the fact that it was money taken from the campaign. If she wants to dress with $150,000 then, she should buy it with her own money.

    If the RNC paid for it, that's fine with me. Apparently they are going to auction off the stuff for charity after the campaign. I'm not clear why she carts her children all over the place, however. Seems kind of weird, they are everywhere.

    i know. just think, that money could have gone to good use attacking Barack Obama for... umm, having a platform?

    and she'll still be drab next to Cindy in her one of a kind designerwear.

    Don't be a jerk. How much do you think Obama's suits cost? Or his wife's clothing.
