The RNC Shopping Spree of Sexism

By Lindsey, PolitiPorn Religion and Style Editor

Over $150,000 has been spent on Sarah Palin’s wardrobe for the
campaign, and in addition to that around $50,000 more has been spent on
hair and makeup- $20,000 of that in the first two weeks of October
alone.

Democrats are being called sexist for using those numbers as an
example of the GOP’s lack of knowledge of the “real” America, the
America in which moms wear stained t-shirts day after day so they can
afford nice clothes for their kids to go to school, the America in
which a woman scrounges together twenty dollars to buy makeup that she
only wears a few times a month, the America in which haircuts happen
when the money is around, which may be once or twice a year, and she
has to style it herrself with a couple of mirrors and a prayer because
there is no way in God’s name she’s going to spend money to have
someone else pin it up other than for her wedding.

The Wardrobe to Nowhere

“CHA-CHING!”

Alot of buzz was created yesterday with the revelation that the RNC has spent a whopping $150,000.00 dressing up Caribou Barbie on the campaign trail.  Oddly enough, the McCain campaign shot back in “let them eat cake” fashion by claiming that these high dollar threads would be donated to charity after the campaign.  Here ya go homeless person, have a pair $2500 dollar Prada pumps, they are super comfortable and have great arch support.  All that cash on clothes and should McCain lose, Sarah doesn’t even get to keep them as a parting gift.

Mystery AssHat

The Anonymous AssHat

This week almost brought us an unknown AssHat.  An AssHat with no name.  A freaking Un-American, Anonymous, and downright cowardly AssHat.  However, authorities were able to put a name to the AssHat and that name is Marc Harold Ramsey.  Who the f— is he you ask? 

I couldn’t tell you who this damn AssHat is.  I don’t know if he is some American born jihadist or a crazed Libtard or RightWing Nut or even a Paultard.  All I know is that he is simply an AssHat.  Mr. Ramsey, you should not be allowed to share the same air as good and decent men like McCain and Obama.  Why did this newly unveiled AssHat get consideration for this award, well read on my little PolitiPornsters…

In case you didn’t hear, there was late breaking news yesterday in Denver.  The Denver campaign offices of John McCain received a threatening letter accompanied by an envelope containing a white powdery substance.  Here.  The letter was anonymous, but the envelope did have a return address, which by the way contained a name and an address listed as the Arapahoe County Detention Center.  Quick point here, wouldn’t you be a bit leery of opening a letter from a Jail that is sent to a presidential candidates campaign offices?  Or perhaps this is a regular occurrence at the McCain headquarters. 

Joking aside, let’s get this straight.  Threatening a candidate for public office, irrespective of party, is un-American and is a blatant attempt to usurp our cherished democracy.  You can hate Obama or McCain all you want BUT issuing real or perceived threats to them, their family or staffers is wrong.  Oh, and it’s against the law.

As all of my regular readers know, I’m a liberal and I support Barack Obama’s candidacy for president.  I’m will be voting for him in November and if I have my way, I may even vote twice!  (wink, wink).  Likewise, many of you know I don’t agree with McCain and I think he’d be a bad choice for president and a mere extension of the failed Bush regime.
