> afraid to criticize your own party?! I personally don't see that there is anything to criticize them about. Why bother discussing it anyway? You see nothing wrong with Obama spending $170 Million for an inauguration bash, but you think there is something wrong with spending $150K on closes for the VP candidate (most of which, as it turned out, was simply spent on "size runs" so she didn't have to take time away from the campaign to do the shopping herself). What are you nuts? How many size runs leads to a $200k bill? As for the inauguration bill, its expected......every president has one. Besides, its not a party issue, but a country one. If you don't like it, stop it but most of the money is spent for security and handling the crowds that come to see their president inaugurated. And its nothing like spending $200k on clothes for two months wear. Your position is stupid. If the campaign wants to spend $200K on clothes, then burn them in a 55 gal drum, that's their business, not mine, not yours. It is a really dumb thing for you to continue to bring up. Shallow though you are, I would think you'd be over this by now. My position is that the GOP fukked up. And you say nothing about it. As is typical, you are coming to the party's defense. That's all. Typical winger double talk.....like O'Reilly condemning anyone who criticized Bush but criticizing Obama after his first days in office.
