“Picture my face, in the voting booth. A vote for McCain is a vote for George W. Bush.” Priceless.

It appears that Sarah Palin’s 6 year old isn’t the only one giving the finger to Alaska’s taxpayers.
Sarah Palin has been living off the government dole, getting 100% of her income from Alaska’s taxpayers for years. Now it turns out she’s also been abusing the system, charging those same taxpayers exorbitant sums for her to travel with her kids to see husband Todd race snowmobiles, or visit NYC.
One egregious example of abuse of the taxpayers was a trip to New York City, where the governor attended a conference for just 5 hours, but stayed with teenage daughter (and Mom to be) Bristol for 5 days in a luxury hotel. How can she justify that to the taxpayers of Alaska? (Source)
What does her abuse of the taxpayers say about her? Is it even legal? Isn’t she supposed to be a conservative? Looks like her conservative values take a back seat to luxury, as she’s already rung up a $150,000 clothes shopping spree this month, funded by Joe the Plumbers Helper, and other Republican donors.
Is she just another tax and spend Republican like George Bush? Sure looks that way!

Sarah Palin, the millionaire governor of Alaska, who tries to portray herself as “middle class” has spent $150,000 on clothes since September! But don’t worry, it didn’t come out of her very deep pockets… no it came from the pockets of donors to the Republican ticket.
Think that’s not outrageous? Consider this excerpt from HuffPo:
During a week in which the Republican ticket is trying to highlight its connection to the working class — and, by extension, promoting its newest campaign tool, Joe the Plumber — it was revealed that Palin’s fashion budget for several weeks was more than four times the median salary of an American plumber ($37,514).
To put it another way: Palin received more valuable clothes in one month than the average American household spends on clothes in 80 years.
The right wing media outlets screamed for days about the $400 haircut of John Edwards, yet they seem awfully quiet on this topic. How strange.

The Olde Towne Ale House on Chicago’s North side has something few bars in America have… a nude portrait of a Vice Presidential candidate.
Sarah Palin was painted nude, holding an automatic rifle, by bar co-owner Bruce Elliott.
“I had never heard of her before, like everyone else. I find her bizarrely fascinating, even though I pretty much despise everything she stands for.” – Bruce Elliott, artist

Even though Elliott has a crush on Governor Palin, he refuses to vote for the McCain-Palin ticket, saying: “I’m not going to support the worst pilot in the history of the American Navy.” (Source) Mr. Elliott plans to vote for Obama-Biden.
