    The answer to your last sentence is yes, Goodwill and other charities and in fact they already started doing just that.

    This is a non-issue at best, the reason being is that the taxpayers are not footing the bill but rather the RNC is footing the bill taken from donations, not taxes. I made a donation and what they do or did with the money is fine by me.

      Oh puleeeeze, that is nonsense. They decided to give it to charity after they were caught.

        They already had given some to charity prior to it being made public. You're just jealous that you didn't get the hi-heels, huh?!

          It isn't "fine by" the federal elections committee. Sorry. Tammy Faye and her pals did a 'no no.'

            What the RNC does with their funds is not under scrutiny of the elections committee. It's a non-issue, deal with it.

                And these are the same people who use ugly sexist epithets to describe Palin rather than focusing on the issues. The same people who took up for Obama when he was a newbie who didn't sound "handled."

                I disagree with Palin on issues, but I strongly oppose bringing her gender into it, and I've seen a lot of self-proclaimed progressives and liberals attack her venomously on gender. They'll be along shortly to neg me.

                  There's more of THEM than there are of YOU, so yeah, they'll gang up on you and neg you to death. Big deal.

            This is TOTALLY an "ISSUE".

            IT points to the lack of reasonable thinking skills by Republicans.

            Are you kidding, they want to be the "reformers" and claim to "cut" government?

            This doesn't say "responsible spending" to me at all.

            I know it wasn't tax money, It would be different if it was HER money.

            More evidence of the hipocritcal nature of McCain's campaign.

            JUST like the baseball comments.....Sarah can do it 3 times at least that we KNOW about, but if Obama says ANYTHING similar then that is bad, he is bad....

            The Country has seen through the two EMPTY SUITES on the Republican side...believe me.

              It's not an "issue" unless the RNC spent YOUR money and MY money, but they didn't. If she had appeared in bib-jeans you democraps would have been all over her trashing her looks. Get a grip. The decision, btw, to donate the wardrobe to charity was made long before the drive-by-media latched on to this story. Shame on all of youse guys.

                  This is no issue at all. Most clothiers gladly donate their clothes to candidates, the idea being that it will be THEIR designs on display if the candidate gets elected. Which brings up Hillary Clinton. She doesn't buy her pant suits like Palin has to; as a matter of fact, Hillary's suits are worth $6350 a piece retail! Should Hillary's suits have been an issue during the primaries? By your logic, the answer is a resounding YES!

                      Bruedaddy, by your reasoning, Michelles wardrobe HAS to be examined.
                      Perhaps you could have made a better point by citing a problem with education, especially in your district.

                        hey, F U C K Y O U...

                        Last time I looked the Obamas paid for their own clothes with THEIR OWN MONEY.

                        perhaps it's YOUR district that needs better teachers so you can get better critical thinking skills....for that matter...any at all.

                      I was preparing to give a small donation to Edwards' campaign when the story broke about his charging his campaign for his $400 haircut. Since my small donation would have covered only a fraction of a haircut, I didn't send anything. I'm not sure if the GOP even has small donors, but I would sure as heck be perturbed if I found that the few bucks I could scrape together went to buy designer dresses for the candidate.

                        If it took that bit of news for you to realize what a sham Edwards was, I question your ability to make wise decisions

                          For getting over your candidate's impending loss, I suggest you skip the insults and go straight to the gin.
