No I don't but just because she isn't the first doesn't make it any less reprehensible. She's running around saying she's just like you, she's a middle class citizen, the economic situation is hurting her too. She's running around with a party who's platform is we're the common man, we're for small government, we're not part of that elite fancy crowd and she has a $150,000 wardrobe? The most highly paid person in the McCain campaign is Sarah Palin's make up artist. You don't think that's a bit hypocritical for the party who's saying the government spends too much? You don't have a problem with someone saying that then turning around and using tax payers dollars to fund he family's vacations and accommodations? Sorry I'm not going to excuse her behavior because she "isn't the first to do things like this."

I think this is pathetic. It honestly baffles me that someone with that type of character can actually be selected to be in such a high position of power. I guess that probably applies to a lot of politicians, but, my God, that's so very wrong.

I'm not by any means pro-palin but the discussion here is so biased.
These are accusations, none of them proven and while it's new to you folks, Alaska has been taking this in for quite a while. No one mentioned that despite all her presumed flaws and all the controversy she has the highest approval rating of any governor in the nation. Meanwhile Joe Biden is either voting McCain or he's a liar.

No, these accusations are proven. She does have a $150,000 wardrobe it's been widely reported. The McCain campaign even acknowledged it with their "well we're going to donate it to charity!" statement as soon as the news leaked. Oh and the Alaska governor pretty much always has the highest approval rating. They get to send each of their citizens a check from the oil companies who wouldn't approve of that? Besides, this is recent news. Seeing as it only broke a few days ago and if you look at her approval rating ever since the media was able to dig into how she holds herself as governor and all the various scandals that riddle her career you'd see her approval rating in Alaska has been declining. So yeah hate to break it to you but all these comments do hold plenty of weight.

And over in Obama's camp, they pay the women doing the same job substantially less.
BUT None of the candidates can be held directly responsible for how the monies are spent ~ that's up to the campaign manager/CFO. And that brings us back around to the spend-spend-spend syndrome that our government seems to have. At this point, it really doesn't matter, i don't quess. It looks as though the two candidates will be dead within the year ~ did y'all SEE that vid with the KKK??? ~ so we're actually voting for which VP we want for prez. Sheesh. |

I don't think this story or the abuse of powers story has any relevance to the election. Just trying to embellish the public's perception of Palin a little further. We need the media to focus on the politically relevant issues rather than feeding us this crap.

But then you've got to ask yourself, Are You Feeling Lucky Today? Because it would appear that ALL of our news is biased and editorialized to the point of fantasy. It's pretty sad, imho, that we have to get REAL news of other countries from their citizens, because our newspapers exaggerate and spin everything so. |
