What does everyone think about this?

I sure as hell know that if I was a republican donating money I'd be furious. $150k could go towards advertisements or any other method of campaigning.

I'm not necessarily complaining, I'm commenting. I don't really care and I'm not using this to bash her. If anything I think it's a poor choice by the RNC.

$150k is probably about right. I imagine the Obama campaign has a similar budget. The candidates get a lot of attention and it makes sense that they would have different clothes for each campaign appearance. Being seen on the news in a bunch of different outfits makes a person seem to be in more places than they really are, I would think. She's also probably too busy and moving around too much to do laundry regularly.

The GOP obviously has no shortage of funds (granted Obama probably has more but they are still rolling in dough).

actually it was 150k spent on palin and family... even the down syndrome baby sports $100+ outfits... best part everyone else in the campaign buys their own clothes. another twist is if she keeps the clothes she will have to pay taxes on this amount, but supposedly they are going to give the clothing to charity after the election :rolleyes:

i don't find this hard to believe coming from a woman that charged her own state 20,000 to stay at her own home :lmao: and another 20,000 to have her kids travel with her on business.

I didnt vote for them anyway, nor do I donate to their campaign so I could care less. I'm sure theres some frivilous spending on Obama's side as well.

Obama has a lot more convincing to do than McCain.. furthermore its easy to outspend someone when you have 3 to 4 times the amount of cash the other person does. Obama is advertising heavily in Red states, that is not wasteful spending.. that is keeping McCain out of Blue states and putting him on the defensive.

Outspending doesn't = Waste. Someone who supports Reaganomics should understand that better than most.

You know.. I just thought about something. For those who love the entrepreneurial spirit. McCain took public financing.. from the government, that could be interpreted as welfare on a large scale. $85 Million

Obama on the other hand did it from scatch.. all donations, minimal government handouts. But Obama runs a consistent surplus of funds, even Hillary came to him after LOSING to his campaign while running up a multi million dollar debt. It's not wasteful spending if you end up with a surplus of funds.

Just taking a step back and seeing that.. regardless of affiliation is impressive.

t.

Reps if I can. Obama's campaign is not only going after the base blue states and the battleground states like Ohio, they are also poised to turn over a couple of red states too. Obama has gone a step farther than the usual democratic strategy of just fighting for the swing states like Ohio and Florida.

If we're running a surplus and there is an expenditure beneficial to the country.. (say, Nuclear energy exploration that would require investment) yeah I'm all for it. Lets not forget, Obama isn't buying designer ish with campaign funds.. I think you're getting the two campaigns mixed up.

how do you feel about obamas $10000 suits?

I never saw this information presented anywhere, show me. If it is true, then I strongly disagree with paying that much for 1 suit. Now, if it's for multiple suits then it sounds about right.


Or renting out denvers stadium?

When he accepted the nomination? He used that stadium because the party's convention hall was too small to accommodate his supporters and delegates. If anything, using such a large stadium and showing off such a large amount of people that support you is in a way advertising yourself. I think it was genius, people see this and take away a realization that he has a great number of supporters.


Or the 30 minute ad he's running 4 days before election?

I haven't heard of this either, and yet again, genius. Why would you say advertising is a bad thing? Are you trying to conclude that advertising with the money that people sent in to be used for advertising is wasteful spending?

You shouldn't have even posted this, your argument is none compared to anything I could dig up on your party. You republicans see Obama as "spend spend spend," and he's doing just that, there's no irony there (and he's spending it on something that will fulfill the objective of gaining supporters). The McCain camp wants to be viewed as a low tax, "we don't spend" kind of people, but this spending on clothing just can't be viewed as "hockey mom" spending; because thats what she calls herself right?

I agree with the 2nd but the first :thinking: :doh: :lmfao: . Which is where the gold toilet seat metaphor comes in.


if the guy wants to wear 10k suits and he pays for them who cares... point being you don't see a report coming out saying he spent 150k on suits just for his campaign. and you won't b/c they've already come out and said they pay for their own clothes. shit Michelle obama says she shops at gap

Again yet another hypocritical statement coming from the left. It's ok for Obama to wear for $10K suits yet it's not ok for The ENTIRE Palin family to have $150K in clothes that are going to be donated to charity after the campaign is over.

If Obama is paying actually paying for his $10K suits out of his own pocket(which BTW I highly doubt considering $1ok would represent 1% of his net worth) then hats off to him but like I said I HIGLY DOUBT IT.

according to the taxes they filed (fox and cnn both reported it), the obama family made $4M last year. $10K is only .25% of that. not to mention...who said he spent $10K on one suit? i'd like to see that article.

You fail at life. Clothes are too broad to be comparing to automobiles, I get what your trying to convey, but you fail. Your half-ass theory does not measure up to mine, sorry.

Now, I do understand that the point of buying these clothes weren't based mainly on donating them, and frankly I don't even want to discuss the donation part anymore. I'm concerned mostly that the McCain camp, having considerably less funds than Obama, makes such unnecessary purchases at such a high price. Wasteful? Is this just a precursor to things to come? Take that money and spend it on something useful, like advertising. Something that ultimately brings your campaign to the overall goal.

The fact that you would stoop so low to make a thread concerning the other party's clothes is sad.

You are clearly insecure about your party's campaign. Which you have no reason to be. Obama is leading the polls.

Do you think a republican is going to see this thread, and say "Oh crap Palin's heels are too expensive, I voting Obama!"

Of course you don't.
I think you are proud of your candidate for whatever reasons, and want others to join with you in voting for Obama.

But you are clearly going about it in all the wrong ways.

I'm not stooping low to discredit Palin or the republican party, I'm discussing there spending during the campaign, which could be a sign of things to come. You obviously can't see past your ass, so quit posting in the election forum. For a republican, you use any angle to fight back, and none work to create even a mediocre level of defense.

but again, my point is WHO THE FUCK CARES. Obama could come out dressed like flava flave with a $100,000 watch on and i wouldnt care.

i just think its stupid to be arguing how how much they spend on her CLOTHES when there is 10000 other issues at hand of more importance.

Remember when clinton got chided for getting a $700 hair cut, i mean, hes the fucking president , WHO CARES.

my argument was about SPENDING and how Obama spends more than ANYONE IN HISTORY right now. If you cant make the correlation then im sorry for you

I think its funny you try to make an issue out of EVERYTHING. If Palin ordered a Big Mac you would find some issue to make a thread about it.

You remember that Clinton was caught getting dome in the oval office but guess what? No one cared about that. What people did care about was the fact that he lied about it.


I talk about SPENDING that the McCain camp is doing and I get flagged for an inappropriate post.
You're getting "flagged" because this is just yet another ridiculously BS biased post on something no one could give a fuck less about it. How about this. How about as a result of this "Frivolous spending" a lot of people will be getting a lot of nice clothes that the other wise couldn't afford because they are getting donated to charity at the conclusion of the campaign.




Because he as the funds to do it!!! He's spending it on CAMPAIGNING!! If you can't see that there is NO PROBLEM with that then I'm sorry for you!
What and clothes aren't a campaign necessity? Give me a break. Do you know how many people write off suits and stuff as a business expense? What's the difference?



I make these issues to discuss, again, I get flagged for anything that targets repubs.
No you just make a big deal out of the smalles most insignificant stuff and it's fucking annoying.





$1500 suits? I don't see that as being bad if you have millions.
This is a hypocritical statement. Both campaigns have millions but its ok for Obama to buy $1500 suits but for the Palin family to do something along the same lines is criminal



I'm beginning to think the word bias is all you know.

Well you should know the meaning of the word quite well considering how BIAS you are.

I could give a fuckless how much money either campaign is spending on clothes or food or whatever.

what about the twice as much money obama spent on campaigning, im sure some of that went to his wardrobe to look good on stage, his wife too. But guess what, it's all part of running for office, who gives a fuck.

He pays $1500 for his suits, not $10,000.

dang tony, i didnt know you were obama's personal assistant and bought all his suits for him. crazy. You really know that candidate inside and out, even the "facts" that aren't publicly available.

Your just repeating more initial arguments and attacking me for posting a topic that makes your parties campaign look even more worse than it already is.

Seriously? I haven't gone over this enough already? HE HAS MORE MONEY! IF YOU HAVE MORE MONEY, YOUR LIKELY TO SPEND MORE MONEY. It's not hard to understand.

I don't see clearly when you repubs compare Palin's cost of clothes with Obama's. Obama is running for President, not VICE President. $150k on the republican VP hopeful and her immediate family is not good signs of spending, especially for a campaign that is targeted for unnecessary spending. Thats my 2 cents, I thought you conservatives might have more of an open mind and wanted to discuss this intelligently, obviously I was wrong. I know you right-wingers are getting scared as this final stretch rolls down, so I'll assume that your only defense is to deem anything democrats say as nothing more than shit.

so according to your argument. if the mccain campaign had more money, this wouldn't be an issue? So all they have to do is just get some more money, and then it wouldn't be "unnecessary" spending, cuz they have the money. You don't know shit about politics. You dont know shit about anything, you make ridiculous posts that have nothing to do with the actual election and hold no bearing on any issue of importance. Do you know how much obama or biden have spent on their wardrobe since running for p/vp? No, you don't. But, according to you, it's probably more, but that's okay, because they HAVE more. You know, you should run for a democratic senator, if we have the money, why not spend it?! It's idiots like you that call for bail outs and unecessary spending. Obama has spent more than anyone in history on his campaigning, do you know where every dollar is going? no, so shut up about it already. If you found out obama spent 200k on his clothes, you'd say "well he's got more money!!!" Dolt.

You just answered your own question, WHY DO YOU GIVE A FUCK WHAT THE VP IS BUYING ?

this is just a lame attempt at BITTER LIBERALS to have another issue to go after PALIN with. IT MEANS JACK SHIT. and you have NOTHING to COMPARE IT TOO. How much has the DNC spent on clothing ? how did Hillary SPend?Mccain? BUsh? average SEnator?

This is a typical the news reports a number that you think is astromical and you take it way out of context and try to spin it into a positive thing for your cause.

ITS A FUCKING WARDROBE, SHES RUNNING FOR VICE PRESIDENT, SHES A WOMAN, SHE HAS TO LOOK NICE, she cant just buy a black suit like a GUY can an wear it everyday with a different color tie.

Ive4 never seen so much focus on a VP nominee.

Its 10 days to election, lets focus on how much money Palin spends on clothing, fuck the economy, fuck the energy crisis, lets talk about how that bitch has a Gucci hand bag cause thats what matters :rolleyes:
