Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

The next time you pay your bills, think of Dick Cheney. The next time you buy gas, think of Dick Cheney. The next time you hear of one of our young people being killed in Iraq, think of Dick Cheney. Dick Cheney and George W. Bush were chained at the hip. But, they left enough room for John McCain. Whether you believe it or not, you cannot afford 4 more years of the same.

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

Bucco, I answered your question previously. Not please answer mine. Can you ever admit you're wrong? The OUTFIT costs close to $300,000. End of story. It's a fact. Geesh!

CHELSEA...I honestly can understand some of what you say and think here. I do not think Dick Cheney raised my bills in any way,nor do I think he had anything to do with the price of gas but I can actually understand a lot of what you feel.

Where we stand divided is that I do not believe Sen McCain is as close to the Bush WH as you think, and more especially it is no excuse to put a radical left winger in the WH. As I said to you before.....had the Democratic party done a better job with a nominee I would join you this November.

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

Actually, the price of at least one of dresses Michelle Obama wore at the DNC was mentioned -- $138.00. Of course, there was no mention of the price of her jewelry, etc., but I think it would be safe to assume it was not an ostentatious display.

Going back to the subject matter of this thread, comparing what Cheney has done in the past 4 years to what Palin might do is comparing apples and oranges. The Vice President's role in an administration really is decided by the President. Some VPs are very active in national and international affairs. Cheney has met with several foreign dignataries, both here and abroad. Some VPs are so far removed from the office of the President that they may as well be a minor staffer. Some VPs sit in on every or almost every cabinet meeting; some are not even informed when they are to occur. So, what Cheney has or has not done is irrelevant. What is relevant is: what role does McCain see for Palin if he wins?

Ok REDWITCH...just for the sake of accuracy. The dress you allude to that Michelle Obama wore at the price you quote was during her appearance on the View, and SHE BROUGHT UP THE PRICE (no reason I suppose). Her dress at the DNC....just under $2000 !
I cant believe I am even disucssing this but as with the other claims I have seen on here..it is only fair to keep it accurate (like McCain wants the war togo on for 100 years....the RNC is the ONLY group to do negative advertising, etc).

To your second point...I would ask the same of Sen Obama..what role will Sen Biden play ? I really am not that tuned into that right now, but if the question is asked of one it should be asked of both !

Cannot believe I got involved in a discussion on the price of a dress from TWO millionaires :)

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

I agree that the cost of Cindy McCain's COMPLETE OUTFIT (Not just dress) is a silly subject. But it did cost $300,000. BUCCO! Here's the link of the breakdown. Can you ever ever admit you're wrong?

I admit I am wrong about 100 times a day !

Now, you have to begin to read the entire thread.....I said at 9:21 PM last night

"SHIGHSMI....for the record, Vanity Fair reports the dress cost $3000 NOT $300000...THEe entire outfit including jewelry,etc has a tag of somewhere near your number...Michelle Obama spent almost 2000 on her dress...no word on the stuff that goes with it.

Hey...both are millionaires..ok"

THAT SORT OF AGREES with the thread just wanted to make sure it was accurate...I never ever ever once said that it did NOT...NEVER..since I posted that, you have called me on this at least twice for NO REASON. I agreed with the price as you see at 9:21...you called me on it at 9:59 and then again this morning. I ignored last night but why are you beating me up on something I have agreed on a long time ago..so many other things !

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

According to that article, $280,000 of that $300,000 was for jewelry. Not sure why that is relevant to anything though. Hope she had some good bodyguards.

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

Hahahahaha Bucco! OK, let's both take a chill pill. The day is young and we're not! ;D

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

Not sure where to post this and I really am not sure how I feel about it...was tempted to post it in the thread about Gov Palin and the library, but nah....

Oprah Winfrey....she decided against her staff's wishes not to invite Gov Palin on her show...said she will have no candidates on until after the election although she has had both the Sen and his wife from Illinois on previously !

Just found it interesting !

Re: Sarah Palin! Again!
 

Bucco, agree with you 100% -- Obama should answer what Biden's role will be in his Presidency. I didn't say it for the simple reason we were discussing Palin, not Biden.

As to the cost of the outfits, again, a non-issue. These women can afford these dresses and jewelry, so what possible difference should it make to a voter if they wore $3,000 or $138 dresses anywhere. (Personally, I thought Cindy's dress was hideous -- at least the color -- but not everyone has Jackie's taste.) Not. our. business.

ditto
 

I also think Palin is in the deep end of the pool and has not learned to swim.
I think every part of a persons life is open for discussion in this high level run
Palin shows heart but also is very shallow for a VP postion.

Funny thing, now we are worried about how much an outfit cost.. The VP's Role is a know deal. On either side. What about Palin wanting the extra power in the senate that she somehow thinks should be hers. And better yet thinks the Constitution grants this????? I guess she wants to out do DC? Or better yet should we expect the following if they win and she is VP?
A violation is a Violation. Dont matter who you are..

FINDING NUBMER ONE:

For the reasons explained in section IV of this report, I find that Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act. Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) provides

The legislature reaffirms that each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust.

Oprah came out to support Obama right away. It's her show, she's made the billions. She has the right to have on or not have on anyone she wants to. I don't know where you got the staff wanted her. I'm very close with one of the producers and I find that highly unlikely. But I doubt if Palin would do it anyway. When Oprah really wants to dig into a person she does. I would love to see Palin on Oprah or The View. She wouldn't stand a chance. (Well maybe with that twit Elizabeth.)
But everyone kind of ignores her anyway. :icon_wink:

Please....give us a break!!! What about McCain's drinking!!! What matters are the issues TODAY!!! Let's talk ISSUES...not about either candidates' past. We are in the worst mess ever. FOCUS on the issues and let's get the candidates to take a stand. We don't want to see any more negative ads from either candidate. I live in PA and just about every commercial break is a political ad! How would you like to be bombarded day in and day out like we are!
