I mean, come on!

I'm sorry, but they hypocrisy is staggering!

Even an asswipe would understand the irony here.

I know I'm late to this opinion, but it just dawned on me.

1. Are you sure?
Edited on Wed Oct-22-08 10:20 PM by DontTreadOnMe
Male candidates usually get 375 haircuts at $400 per during their campaign season, so
it all comes out equal.

And look how good she looks! <--(I got that from Fox News)

Can you donate a haircut to charity?

2. Couldn't agree more, sometimes I feel like there are people in this country
who do not mind being poor, I guess after years of hearing the leaders of pretty much all of the church denominations spouting now the poor will be more likely to get to heaven have made some extremely brain dead not realizing the irony themselves of how ninety nine percent of church leaders strive to live very wealthy lives on money supposedly being given for those in need...some people are just so easily made fools of...

7. wait!
you are right, I miscalculated. Sarah has only been campaigning for 6 weeks.
6 weeks = 42 days.

So a male candidate needs to get 8.9 $400 haircuts PER DAY, for 6 weeks... to equal Sarah's wardrobe.

11. couldn't agree with you more Frenchie, this is so disgustingly elitist. And they
tried so hard to paint Barack and Michelle as elitists. Michelle gets her dresses off the rack, and you can see that Sasha and Malia do not wear designer duds. But his "hockey mom" and her family has a $150,000 wardrobe.

Just how many outfits does one family buy that equate to $150,000 worth of clothing. I could easily buy 2 houses (nice ones) for that price.

Anyone who could still support this farce of a ticket at this point has some serious, serious issues.

13. Why can't she buy at the gap, like Michelle Obama?
Or wear wash-n-wear pant suits, like Hillary?

14. I first thought this was a stupid story - until I started thinking about the utter hypocrisy
These people are amazingly inept. Palinco is simply using the campaign as their "Tour-of-'Merica Vacation"

16. I'm sitting here shivering because I'm afraid....
to keep the heat turned up because of the elecric bill and she's wearing a $150,000 wardrobe. The hypocracy and shameless way she has been packaged and sold to the so called "real" murikans is one of the most disgusting things I've seen in politics in my lifetime.

If eight years of bush* and this fiasco of a campaign hasn't turned repubs off, then I honestly don't know what ever could.

Apparently lipstick on a pitbull was just not enough, I guess they needed hair and make up, designer clothes and jimmy choos to complete the desired effect to try to pull it off. As with pretty much everything else in the mc/failin campaign, another BIG FAIL.

17. watching ABC late news tonight
and one of the reporters said "One of Palin's supporters said that she likes her, because she's just like herself...and she would need a new wardrobe if she were to be VP too!" Do these people think it's a freaking reality game show?

Funny how poor bigots really go for those people.
