It is truly delicious when republicans eat their own. :-)
I'm looking forward to some amazing years.

"Going Rogue? I thought this was an article about Sarah not wearing any panties under her $10000 skirt. Darn."
LOL
Couturegate has drowned out her real issues, such as her sleazy deal with Trans-Canada.
Watching Palin and the crowd starts chanting " NO McCain use your brain"---I thought what the hell? Then I listened a little closer and it was actually" GO McCain use your brain" Damn, I liked the first version better
She should have used that money for a nanny for the baby because he needs to bond with somebody.
My G-d, when will they stop? She is such an a-hole!
McSame or Palin could shout, "All the Republicans here are bastard sex offenders!" and the crowd would widly cheer! They don't even process what is being said.
PUKE.
I hope when this is over I don't have to hear that annoying bitchy voice for a REAL LONG time.
Maybe Rachel Maddow has come up with a drink?
Here's an excellent article you probably won't find in the states, with a couple of former Palin friends who have "regrets":
^ Gargill, David. “Mystery, Alaska”, The National (2008-10-03).
Now that McCain is no longer useful to her ambitions, knowing they lost, she is out for her own self for 2012. If they were to somehow succeed and get elected, can you imagine the trainwreck of the duo for the next 4 years. mccain would have to hire a taster.

John, do you live in the old West now? I thought you still lived in DC.
DO THEY THINK THE PEOPLE ARE THAT STUPID!
YES!
There is nothing like the crackling sound of the McCain camp foundation just before it implodes.
If Pain is saying the clothing isn't her's its because McCain has commented that after the election, the clothes will be donated to charity.
The problem is all of this, as with most everything in the McCain/Palin campaign is the timing. She should have been groomed, including hair, clothing, and POLITICAL EDUCATION prior to McCain announcing her as a running mate. Could no one see, from the outset, that this woman needed a lot of help?
That aside, the fact that "charity" was not discussed till complaints flooded in from outside is just another indication of the write-them-as-we-go rules of McCain's campaign. On the subject of honesty, Bristol Palin is a "hands off" topic for the campaigners but not for the public. Question: If she is pregnant and planning to marry, why is she, months along, still single? Is this another "convenient truth"? In other words, when Palin is not elected, will the marriage also be off because its no longer needed? And, if so, what does that say about Palin's true self as a mother? I think there is just so much untruth here....all over the place. The piddling $150K for clothes is NOTHING. Just let it GO.
Sarah Palin - butthead extraordinaire.
Go to: www.buttheadpolice.com
Vote for her, and others like her to get an ass stamped on her head. LOL. Pass it on. :)
I would like to ask her "Which other candidate spent a comparable amount to dress for the campaign? Did you not have some decent clothes to dress yourself for the campaign? Will you use our money to dress yourself when you become the VP or God forbid the President of USA? Is that a reasonable amount to spend on clothes, especially when it's donor's money? "
If you had excess money in the campaign account, you could have donated some to orphaned kids due to war.
Mrs. Palin also spent a huge amount of money for her kids travel. Don't they have school to attend? Why should the people donate for your kids travel? There are so many consultants in this country who travel for their job. Do they get any allowance for their kids to travel with them all the time?
She was not in New York the night of the Al Smith Dinner. The New York Post had to print a retraction of that story.
Maybe when you fact check the rest of your post, it will be about 1/3 as long.
Where do I begin?Uh ...$148 bucks for the dress Michelle wore on the view(not quite Saks or Neiman Marcus) and by the way it was Th RNC who decided to release the info....just like it was the RNC who made the horrible decision to purchase them in the first place.
Second, you are focused on the fact that people are complaining about the clothes and you fail to see the hypocrisy of a candidate and campaign who are barnstorming the country saying small town values blah blah blah....yet I do not know many small towns where you can shop at Saks.
Third, it is not inappropriate to question if the purchase was legal in the first place and consider Mccains plea on the floor of the Senate asking the same questions about how campaign funds are spent and blasting othe polititions who spent money on personal items...again hypocrisy.
Last, I find it ironic that now the wingnuts are screaming about how we should focus on issues when the whole game plan of the Mccain campaign has been the opposite.
So focus on issues if some story about Palin is not to your liking? Now you wanna focus on issues?Please spare me the sanctimony....nobody is buying it!
Obama resoled his shoes......Palin was the recipient of dare I say...welfare....or would you prefer a "speading of the wealth" from the RNC.
Waldorf story....not true...debunked like all the other smears......and whats wrong with Target? I live in a city of 450,000 and we have a Target......last i checked L.A. had a target.......the only people who call her hat wouldbe people who focus on dumb things like that in the first place......ahem....the RNC.
Put your hair out and check some facts.
Fannie and Freddie only make up 1/4 of all sub prime loans anyway.
In surprised you did not claim ACORN bought the clothes
New deal BS:
According to government stats since the New Deal, Americans have done better under Democratic Presidents and in fact it was the New Deal that led to the building of the strongest middle class this country has ever known.
Under New deal policies America was the largest lender of money and the largest producer of finished goods......since the Reagan revolution, based on economic theories of Milton Friedman, and pushed by neoCONS, we are now the biggest debtor nation and we are far from leading the world in any economic stat......except maybe the bad ones.....so enough of the New deal caused this mess BS.
I counted at least 5 talking points all of which......debunked either here or elsewhere but facts don't matter to Repubs much these days....unless they favor you of course.
