Re: Palin Discusses Her Wardrobe at Campaign Rally

[pokerfreak12]

very nice vid, obama has a way of expanding on issues in detail mccain and palin never do. obama all the way. ps i am a waiter and maybe also obama could teach some blacks how to tip though. call it racism but its a fact. obama 08

[mrcharlieblack]

lol i hear you cuz i know i just learned how to tip 15% last november!!!

[Daisytoo]

Let me catch you while you're open to getting the tip thing: It's 20% in most restaurants, not 15%.

You're a diplomatic guy (even though you're supporting the wrong candidate) so let me ask you, since you've informed yourself about the cost of ward-robes/makeup: How much of the Democrat campaign donations do you suppose the Obamas have spent on their clothing? I know Obama spent millions on his infomercial. That's a lot of $ for a guy who leaves his relatives in poverty to be throwing around.

[mrcharlieblack]

Oh that's something good to learn @ the 20% thing thanks.

I consider you diplomatic also (even though calling a candidate "wrong" would simply be foolish because we probably share different visions for America. Barack spends less on clothes than any of the candidates. The infomercial was payed for by taxpayers who VOLUNTEERED MONEY! His brother has decided where he will live and how Period. The Obamas just paid off his student loans...can McCain or Palin relate? 7 houses? Foreclosure help?

[Daisytoo]

Leaving the groundless "Barack spends less", let's focus on the "VOLUNT $". So did Conservatives volunteer for the Republican candidates. Of course, the Reb. $ has been carefully kept track of, unlike O's internet donations from who knows who? McCain, Obamas and Biden are rich; Palin is not. Foreclosure? See F. Mac under thief Raines & other Libs. who repeatedly blocked Rep. efforts to regulate F. Mac to prevent them from forcing banks into making subprime loans to creditless buyers.

[mrcharlieblack]

When has McCain ever had to struggle? How about Palin? Don't dare compare their upbringings to Biden/Obama. You will be sadly mistaken. Lobbyists worked with Chuck Hagel on a bill for deregulation that was cosponsored by who? JOHN MCCAIN! No one forced these banks to take money from home loans and invest in the stock market. CORPORATE GREED.

[Bee678]

People in America are hilarious, they complaint a about Obama, what I last read African Americans only make up 12 to 14% of the US, for Obama to have a 6 to 8 point lead this close to election it has to be a lot of white Americans supporting him. I believe a lot of the so call nObama fans are trying to fit in with friends, but when its time to vote they're are voting for Obama08...

[fernbern0131]

Just one question. Why are voting for Obama? I am sure it's not because he's a little bit black. After all he's 1/2 white, and part black. (His dad's relatives were Arab).

[mrcharlieblack]

You sound foolish when you say he is Arab as if there were not black Arabs. You need to go back and study your history, especially when talking about Africa. I support Barack because he understands what it is like to WORK HARD and against all odds rise to the occasion of greatness. You live hand to mouth and he wants to put more money in your pocket, you're the person that would benefit most from him cutting your TAXES and giving you an opportunity for jobs HERE IN THE STATES!

[fernbern0131]

So can you say one concrete reason you're voting for Obama? Regardless of his socialist agenda? Why would you vote for a socialist? State one bonafide concrete reason.

I know it's not skin color.  The civil war ended 143 years ago.

It's the issues buddy, simple and plain. I'm a plain working class guy who has no retirement or anything to speak of. But I work hard and this socialist wants to take more of my meager salary. I live hand to mouth, and he wants to take that from me.

[mrcharlieblack]

and your point as to how they influence violence is what?

[funnrun]

??

The stat I put up is disgusting!

And all you want to talk about her wardrobe?

So much for the Dead in Chicago.

[mrcharlieblack]

What about the rise in heroin in Arizona. The poor economy in the entire state of Arizona? Do we attribute that to John McCain? Is it his fault that Arizona has fallen into a recession? You're one of those people who likes to veer off topic. The topic at hand was one that arose just as they talked about John Edwards 400 dollar haircuts. No republican was quick to jump off that topic... Think smarter, not harder...

[ChachaBingBing]

I understand where your coming from, because I was beginning to think the same thing. Sarah Palin isn't a bad person, she just hasn't been careful enough and or let too many people make bad decisions for her. Just another nail in the coffin I guess.

[bobbyray56]

Thanks, outstanding commentary by you! I found it honest, objective, and to the point.

As far as the wardrobe goes, welcome to the big time. I kinda hate it when the marketing pukes try to take over. Everything was fine until the Kennedy-Nixon debate. Once the aftermath of that became reality, appearances took priority over substance. Kennedy won on TV, Nixon won on radio. Kennedy had a better make up person. Slam dunk. We saw thew result.

To the uninformed, it is all appearances

[punkybrewster12]

and how does he know all this info? lol was he there?

[powerglide3]

The problem with her excessive wardrobe expenses is that the campaign paid for it with their donations from voters. Seems to me that if she wants to wear a different $6000 outfit every single day, she should do so with her own money. Does Obama have his campaign purchase clothes for him and his family? We haven't heard anything about that. I doubt it.

[mrcharlieblack]

That is an excellent point that I failed to mention!

[TranceDeJa]

..beliefs, despite having written a blurb for his book; however, I'll repeat my previous statement that no one has questioned Obama's expenses when it comes to those Armani suits; nor, have they questioned McCain or Biden's expenses. This is an issue based in sexism (that's right, I said it). Did anyone question Obama for that ridiculous temple mr. O had built by Britney's designer? Aren't both of these issues based on the projection of their image?

[TranceDeJa]

..quite a conundrum indeed.

[mrcharlieblack]

The fact is that Sarah Palin seems so anxious to talk about Washington DC and how it's corrupt, but she can't wait to skip her ass into the white house. It's basically saying practice what you preach. So if you think I'm losing cred for pointing that out, then you go right on ahead and take away all my credibility. I call things like I see it, I stated simply that for an average joe mom she isn't looking average joe these days. I never thought she was classless..That's YOUR belief

[TranceDeJa]

call down B, I didn't say you were losing ALL your cred with me. I'll ignore that "can't wait to skip her ass into the white house" comment. I'm not sure where coming from with that, as all 4 can't wait to get in there. I tend to take people at their word; it's only fair, especially if there is no proof otherwise. If she said the intent was to wear it during the campaign only and give it to charity, I'll take her word for it; just like I took Obama's word he doesn't subscribe to Ayers...

[mrcharlieblack]

Finally, she said she was giving the convention clothes to charity. I think Sarah Palin is smart, charming, qualified, unlike many other people out there. I think she just needs to find her own voice and stop performing like a puppet at these rallies. That's the reality, she is manufactured. She should have never opened her mouth to suggest Obama was out of touch or an Elitist and maybe she wouldn't have this falling right before her.

[TranceDeJa]

I haven't heard a single word about Obama's Armani suits. Has anyone? No? How interesting. Ohhhhh, I get it, she's a woman, right? Now, all of a sudden we're worried about how much the gop is spending on this hick from alaska. Isn't that the problem, mr. black? How can we continue to call her a classless republican moose-murdering hick from a useless state like Alaska if she's running around wearing the same shit your "elitist" friends in hollywood are wearing. Yes..

[mrcharlieblack]

You see that's the problem trance. OBAMA NEVER SAID THAT SARAH PALIN WAS AN ELITIST. HE NEVER CAME OUT SAYING HE WAS A WALMART SHOPPER AN AVERAGE JOE. Sarah Palin did, and I clearly state that it's unfair that she is being mismanaged, but the fact of the matter is you notice that they dulled down her look since this report came out. An average-joe mom is not sitting around in expensive clothing no matter how presidential it may make her look.

[TranceDeJa]

You are losing serious cred with me mr. black.  The republican party bought her those clothes. If she would have worn the clothes she usually wore in the alaska state gov, the "elitist" on the left would have called her a no class hick. Wait a minute, they did anyway, didn't they? And what's this coattail bit mr black? Is Biden riding on Obama's coattail as well? Ohhhhh, wait, she's a woman, I forgot. Oh, and mr. black, I'm so very glad your concerned with the money the gop is spending..

[fandola1]

You should do a video on Ashley Todd, LOL.
