Those are not her clothes and will be donated or auctioned for charity

Those were never her clothes to keep. She had to look a certain way (the Washington way), so the committee provided her with some clothes for a few days. They are not hers to keep and she said they will either be donated or auctioned off and the money given to charity. Her favorite place to buy clothes is a consignment shop in Alaska (and her shoes too). Everyone made a big deal out of this and made it sound like she was stealing money from the campaign. They did not want to tell the truth. I'm glad it finally came out.

Also, so what if she is giving the clothes to charity, she sneakily did not say they were given to h
She never disclosed the clothes were bought with campaign funds. She didn't think it would come out, but I am not running for anything and I am not dumb enough to think I wouldn't be scrutinized for everything I do and had done. I just don't think she is a very bright bulb and I have read the good with the bad and feel I made an informed decision for myself. I just have a hard time with people in our profession that would fall for someone like her.
obviously, it has not all been returned or donated -
why would they feel a need to send people to verify what has been returned and what has not?

The problem with the clothes is that she overstepped her limits when she bought all that stuff for herself and then bought for her family also. They were not running for office - why should the money be spent on them even if it were legal to spend it on herself?

I take great issue with the fact that she claimed to be just a regular old person like you and me and then she spends $150,000 to make herself better... does not make sense to me!
She donated multiple times
DH was reading me an article last night that said his aunt donated $265 4 or 5 times. My question is if she is living in a low income housing where is she getting the money from. Can anyone say....illegal contributions. (and no doubt from our enemies). Despicable!
At least her clothing will be going to charity

So much for that Sak's and NM charity contribution.

charity begins at home
Im wondering, with Bush's millions, has he given to the Iraq rebuilding?  My mom always taught me, charity begins at home..So home first, then American states.  Give to Bush's immoral war?  I dont know, gonna have to research my soul on that one..
Who gives more to charity? Liberals or conservatives? sm

Charity's political divide

What? The part about Obama's charity being
??
That's why I can't understand Sean Hannity isn't doing it for charity.
I mean, he said he would!! I used to have so much respect for the guy and now Keith Olbermann is making fun of him.

I mean, it's not like it's torture! Right?
palin's clothes are way more
important than his associations.
Donating Palin's expensive clothing to charity.
Mother who cannot afford food says to hungry child, "Would you like gabardine or charmeuse for breakfast, sweetheart?" Hopefully, Palin's leather clothing will be donated to hungry vegetarians!
You wouldn’t waterboard but Hannity is ready for it, for charity and
I know some who are standing in line to get out their check books.
or your Sunday go to meetin' clothes...nm

That's like saying eTransPlus buys my clothes!
I get a paycheck and I spend it. He gets a paycheck and he spends it. That is a little different than the campaign paying for her clothes....
Buying her clothes IS from donations.....
!!
Yes, but the post still wasn't about the clothes

The clothes don't make the person

She, at first, didn't know where the clothes came from, but when she found out the facts, that's when the clothes are either going to charity, to auction, or back to the stores. She stated that fact the other night. I mean, c'mon, take a person from a small town and push them into the politiking world without knowing how it really works is crazy.


I'm sure she would do fine as a VP. To me, she seems pretty up and up, a truly common person thrust into the world of politics and not realizing how nasty it can get (just read this board).


I feel she is truly an honest person who only wants the best for the people. No bashing please. This is MY opinion and no one else's. No newspaper or poll swayed my vote.


Nope; never, she spends too much on clothes.
She'll spend too much in government as well.  She's not the one I'd like to see.  I'm fine with who we've got and hope for re-election in 2012.
It's like Palin won a pagent and the prize is $150,000 clothes
yeah! what a waste of money.
Post was about travel expenses not clothes

You didn't hear Ms O talk about his clothes on the View?
of his worn out shoe soles? O pays for his own clothes (he can afford it, after all).
It's Elis Hasslbck and Palin who KEEP talking about the clothes because sm
they want to keep off the important subjects. It makes me laugh... they keep brining up the clothing issue and saying it shouldn't be brought up but they are the ones actually using it as a distraction.
Pretty sly, eh?
poor black men in jail for drug crimes while his wife steals from a medical charity. nm

2 million of whose money?? And yet the media criticizes Palin for her expensive clothes!
But it's okay to spend that kind of money - he's a Democrat, so no one will say anything about it.  They only make an issue of it when it's concerning a Republican.  Everything is suddenly an issue only when it's conerning a Republican... 
good grief, forget the clothes, the woman charges everthing to Alaska, plane tickets, hotel rooms, l

Food pantries are running out of food, charity

donations are way down.


In this situation, people can't help other people if they can't help themselves.
