It's sad, on one hand, that her vote won't count now, but... this story made me tear up a little.

Did anyone see this?  A guy (electrician) tired getting his political sign stolen hooked up his new sign to an electric pet fence.  There is a video of a kid walking up to this guys sign while holding the sleeve from another sign.  When the kid goes to grab the electrified sign he gets shocked (mildly) and runs off.

I love it. The truly superior, informed, righteous open minded "liberal" left. Obama spent 6 million on an infomercial and the McCain campaign, not Palin, spent 150,000 on wardrobe for her. It doesn't belong to her, and plans are already made to donate it all to charity. The venom is unreal. She buys most of her clothing at a consignment shop in her town, verified by the media weeks ago from local interviews.

***********

You made my point. The CAMPAIGN spent the money on her clothes and hair. The money is donated to run a campaign. McCain picked someone who dressed so badly they had to provide her with new clothes? But since you don't seem to get it, I'll spell it out for you. Don't claim to be just a simple old hockey mom and then spend more in a month on clothes than the vast majority of Americans make in years.

I like this too, today someone from the Acorn organization came forward linking the Obama campaign to Acorn. They were feeding Acorn lists of people that had already donated the legal limit fedrally to the campaign, so that Acorn could solicit further donations.

Source? I'd like to read about this.

So, how about the suits Obama and Biden are wearing? And I'll make an assumption here, not sure if I'm correct, that they own the suits they are wearing. Suits that run up to $1500.00. If I'm lucky, that's my tax return for the year.

**********

As long as they pay for the suits out of their own pockets. No one here is bitching about the suits McCain wears. Why? Because he piad for them himself. No one here complained about the outfit Cindy McCain wore to the National Convention. Why? Because she paid for it herself. Don't try so hard at missing the point.

Do you not understand the concept of campaigning? Are you saying Palin isn't putting out a message? She's making speeches. That's getting a message out(?). I don't even know how to explain this.

***********

The speeches are the message. Not her clothes. But the fact she can't give a speech without hateful bile and she can't conduct an interview without looking like a complete moron, I think you're onto something. Keep her well dressed and maybe the rest of the public won't see how woefully misinformed she is.

William, you went after everything else in the post, don't wanna swing at this one?

I hadn't read anything about the part of your post you referencing. So I chose to ignore till I could look into it further. It looks like it may be true. And if so then something should be done.

I am assuming you are referring to this? The employee who got fired for putting personal charges on her organization credit card?

Scott I am sorry , I know you say you have been a democrat, I understand the picking of McCain because at one time he was a liberal republican but your constant defense of Sarah Palin, just does not ring of anything remotely democrat. As a democrat and a woman I can not even say the name Palin without almost vomitting.

You have campaigned harder for the republicans on this thread more than hardcore republicans. If you are a democrat, you aren't a good one!
