And the issue is:
The Republican National Committee spent about $150,000 on clothing, hair styling, makeup and other "campaign accessories" in September for the McCain campaign after alaska Gov. Sarah Palin joined the ticket as his running mate.
You know what I have to say about this? Who cares!!!!!!!! Not I, I think this is silly. Politics have been, are, and always will be expensive!!! I do not support McCain or Palin, as most of you already know, and think Palin is only good for a good laugh, but it doesn't bother me that she spent money on clothes. I wish the money would've gone to a better cause, but I'm sure Obama, McCain, and Biden spent just as much or more on their own wardrobe and personal needs.Not to mention what they're spending on ads and campaigns! Every election hundreds of millions is spent and this spending is rapidly reaching the billion dollar mark!
At first they denied it, now the campaign says the clothing will go to a "charitable purpose" after the campaign. Well if that's true that's wonderful but I bet it isn't. Palin also stated in a speech that she "Usually buys her clothes at a consignment shop, and her wedding ring only cost $35." Yeah, sure Palin, and I bet you can see Russia from your backyard too!
Some are even going as far as calling this sexist! Yes it is true they may be targeting her more because it's a stereotype that women love to shop (so do I), but calling this sexist is a little too much. They are saying just as many negative things about the other candidates as well. Palin just has to learn to take the heat or she'll never make it (but at the rate she's going now she's only made the big time on SNL!).
So this is my blog for this week, take it or leave it, or as is the usually order of things, both!!!!
