Yeah... Other people's money that they DONATED for the RNC's USE. So when you donate money to a cause do you get to dictate how they use it? Likely not. it goes to whatever they see fit to use it for... kind of like our taxes


QUOTE=jenn_librarian;2079914]So, the money that was spent from the donations for her outfits WAS foolish. You agree with that then, correct?[/QUOTE]

I think just about all the bull they WASTE campaign money on is foolish yes... and YES I think spending campaign money on expensive clothes is foolish. However, this thread shows me WHY they feel the need to do that. Had she bought a $30 suit at Walmart people would complain "She can't spend a little extra on an outfit and we are supposed to believe she can be VP when she can't even dress in nice clothes and supports a company like Walmart... the horror" people just look at their appearance ... SAD that material things are what seem to matter most at a time like this.

yes jenn... I'm for taking ADVANTAGE of people seriously... am I new here? ridiculous. I do not believe for a SECOND that people sent in a list of what their donations should be spent on. You donate money... it goes to whatever they feel is nessecary. It may not be what YOU want... but again... apparently style matters over substance or we wouldn't have this debate going on. We look at what they LOOK like rather than WHO they are. kind of sad. but again... I believe taht donating to a campaign is a WASTE of your money. What does it accomplish?

She wants to be in that position, maybe she should have spent her own money to look that part. I'm sure she can max out some credit cards, right??

OOOOOOOH but then she wouldn't be a respsonbile PARENT. spending her family money on a wardrobe the RNC says she needs. She's already on the chopping block for running for VP with *gasp* children. Imagine if she spent all their family money on clothes that they demand she has.

Rock and a hard place. someone is always going to complain.

Yet no one complains about how much they spend on commercials that are POINTLESS and accomplish NOTHING. THAT'S OK right?

LOL we apparently need to agree to disagree here because I just CANNOT get on board with the idea that if she has nice clothes that it means she is a horrible person. DANG her for havin those clothes.
