So you're saying it's OK for Obama to spend the $ on the party, because others have sin. But it's not OK for the RNC to have spent money on Palin's wardrobe during the campaign because... ? And remember, let he who is without sin cast the first stone. So... why is the Palin $150k such an outrage? > > > >The lack of outrage speaks volumes. The silence speaks volumes. > > The hypocrisy on those who are ticked off at this is even louder. You play the hypocrisy card quite a bit. So while it may be hypocrisy that people are ticked off over the party but not ticked off over the wardrobe (and it is, make no mistake), it's also hypocrisy that people are ticked off about the wardrobe, but not the party. Why is one louder than the other, Larry? I'd love to hear the answer to that one. Enlighten me. Please. -- I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife. And I wish you my kind of success. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:276390 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
