"How dare you set a double standard!
How many hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations a woman spends on herself is a PRIVATE CHOICE between a WOMAN and her Image Consultant.
How dare you try to take a way a woman's right to be corrupt! It's sexist and we won't stand for it. Sure when all the MEN in the republican party are corrupt it's just fine!
Bush and Cheney have been lining their pockets with government money for YEARS, and no one has forced them to talk about it to the press! HOW DARE YOU have a double standard. They even used 9/11 to start a WAR with an unrelated country so that they could make money off of Oil and get no bid contracts for Haliburton! But Sarah Palin can't even steal $25,000 from the tax payers to fly her family around on vacations! Palin can't even cancel a government project and keep the money without you people sicking your dogs on her! It's disgusting!! I for one am outraged.
The entire GOP has been corrupt and abusing their power and stealing from the tax payers and violating ethics FOR YEARS, how DARE you single out Sarah Palin for doing the same. SURE it's fine for MEN to fire a bunch of federal judges over political affiliation, but a woman can't even get away with firing a single state trooper for personal reasons!
The double standard in this country is SEXIST and it makes me SICK.
What does Michelle Obama wear when she spends her OWN money on clothes? I mean the fact that Michelle has her OWN money isn't Sarah Palin's fault. Women have RIGHTS, and it doesn't matter if they make their own money or NOT, they are entitled to dress themselves in ridiculously expensive clothing and have full time make up artists damn it! You people can't take away that right. Sarah Palin doesn't earn even close to as much money as the Michelle Obama but needs to look as good! How dare you not want her to spend other people's money to look rich!
I am for one, sickened by the fact that people in this country have set such a huge double standard. I think it's not fair to women to expect them to be any less corrupt than the men that have been running the republican party for 20 years. When men can get away clean with far worse, I think it's totally rediculous to expect a woman without means to dress any less expensively than a woman who makes a lot of money (I mean isn't that what CREDIT is FOR!?!).
Sarah Palin should be able to fire whomever she wants for any reason, should be able to funnel public funding into her own personal bank account whenever she wants, she should be able to spend anyone's money on her wardrobe because the RIGHT TO LOOK FABULOUS is going to be a new constitutional amendment when she is in charge of the senate. If Dick Cheney can steal and lie and fire people for any reason, it's setting a horrible precedent to start actually investigating women for the same things. It's sexist, and we won't stand for it. "
