Palin’s Hair, Hillary’s Pantsuits and Jon Porter

Share

I grow tired of summations in Obama’s attack ads (which seem to show at a ratio of 10:1 during the few hours I actually watch TV) and those from other Democrats alleging corruption on behalf of spending in the Republican party. Apparently, it’s okay for Democrats to get and spend as much as they want or can. Their theories aren’t working and never will, else the $800 billion bailout would have taken effect already and saved the economy for more than a single session on Wall Street.

Apparently amounts spent by lobbyists only matter if the recipient is a Republican. Throughout this past week, media outlets made a big deal about $150,000 spent on outfits for Palin, and Titus’ ads focus on $300,000 received by Jon Porter who’s been a Congressman for about eight years. If you watch the marquee underneath Titus’ ads, they cite money transfers from 2002-2006, none of which were recent. Furthermore, Porter racked up that sum over an eight year span for an average of $40,000/year whereas in his two years as a Senator, Barack Obama has raked in $300,000 from Freddy Mac/Fanny May alone. Clearly amounts don’t matter. Have we forgotten John Edwards’ $400 haircuts? Or maybe Michelle Obama’s $400 roomservice bill? How can $150000 in wardrobe, makeup, and hair for Palin possibly represent any extravagance? The reports reek of hypocrisy. Rush Limbaugh pointed out on Friday that at least the Republicans pay for Palin’s outfits, as opposed to Hillary Clinton whose came via donation.

Mark Levin pointed out last Thursday about how Obama’s campaign contributions come without any apparent oversight. Apparently a woman donated money from her own account under the business name Americans Against Obama, and they didn’t even bat an eye. Don’t forget the people who report unauthorized charges to their credit cards, but don’t worry, Obama’s team checks after the money comes in for fraud. Obama’s already given back thousands to foreigners and terrorists. They don’t care where it comes from. They’re desperate to get the money so they can spend it getting Barack Hussein Obama elected.

Perhaps the funniest observation came from Limbaugh’s 23 October broadcast. He said, “Ladies and gentlemen, it seems to me that the Republicans will pay thousands of dollars to get women into clothes while the Democrats spend thousands of dollars to get women out of their clothes”. Shows where their priorities lie.

Be careful while trying to point out the mote in my eye that you don’t gouge something out with the beam that is in your own.
