Sarah Palin outrageous spending!
The Republican National Committee came under scrutiny after the party committee reported earlier this week that they had spent about $150,000 in September on wardrobe and cosmetics from high-end department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus after Palin joined the Republican ticket.
In one shopping spree for Palin, the RNC spent $75,062 at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis. She also spent $49,425 at Saks Fifth Avenue and $4,902 at Atelier, a stylish men's store, and paid $92 for a romper and matching hat with ears for her infant son, Trig, at Pacifier, a Minneapolis baby store.
SHE SAID, "Those clothes are not my property". We had three days of using clothes that the RNC purchased," Palin told Fox News in an interview that aired Thursday night.
"If people knew how Todd and I and our kids shop so frugally. My favorite shop is a consignment shop in Anchorage, Alaska, called Out of the Closet. And my shoe store is called Shoe Fly in Juneau, Alaska. ... It's not, you know, Fifth Avenue-type of shopping."
ALSO, Amy Strozzi, who works on the reality show "So You Think You Can Dance" and has been Palin's traveling stylist, was paid $22,800, according to campaign finance reports for the first two weeks in October. In contrast, McCain's foreign policy adviser, Randy Scheunemann, was paid $12,500, the report showed.
McCain's campaign said the payment covered a portion of her work in September and a portion of October. An earlier campaign finance report showed Strozzi was paid $13,200 for a portion of September.
What do you guys think of this???

My personal thoughts.....
It came no surprise to me that Sarah Palin spent $150,000 in clothing and other unnecessary things. That's why Obama campaign has more money than the McCain campaign. Obama uses his money on positive campaigning! But that's what wrong with some of these republicians these days....all they worry about is money greed and living the high life.
Palin is a f**king joke!!

Well to me it seems as if Palin is concerned about an image to upkeep. With that being said, that is exactly whats wrong with most but not all in the republican party. They care so much about how they are percieved that they are ignoring the actual things that pertain to the middle and lower class people in our society. This is why Obama is our best candidate because he focuses on the up bringing and betterment of all classes. Not just the image of the democratic party....
