Do I still vote for McCain after this?

I'm Sure everyone has heard about cindy McCains dress she wore to the convention. if not it was an outfit that totaled $317,100 ......Iknow but now I'm thinking I cant vote for McCain no one who could spend that much money on a dress would be able to know what a bad economy could mean for lower to middle class people . I also would wonder about thier ablility to manage the nations budget?I mean Ive always had the attitude that if you can earn enough to be extravegant then do it...but that is just stupid I dont care how much money you have ...or am I just a poor county boy who dosent get?

Are you a socialist? If not, then let her spend whatever she wants. I'm still checking, but I think the clothes were on loan from the designer.

Re: Do I still vote for McCain after this?

Lets start with Pressings question. Are you a socialist? why do you care what she spent on a dress? IT IS HER MONEY.....


then lets move on to something that adds a bit of balance.

http://philanthropy.com/news/updates...charity-giving


here is some good info on John McCain's giving to charities. 26% of his income last year. 18% the year before.

100% of his book royalties.

toltal in the last 10 years exceeds $1.8M

Also, John McCain didnt wear a dress worth 300k... and Cindy isnt running for president.....


then let me ask you this question. did the source you got that stupid bit of information from, provide the information about how much time and money Cindy McCain gives to charity? No perspective first lady in living memory has done more

Are you saying Laura Bush's dress was 300K? If not her, who had a dress for that amount. I can not imagine any dress being 300,000. That is more than a home.

No one's dress cost $300,000.00. Not Cindy's, not Laura's, and not Michelle Obama's.

No, Laura's suit was $2500 and Cindy's dress $3000 - - - it was Cindy's 3 carat diamonds that were the chunk of change and no one knows for sure if they were real, borrowed or passed down to her.

Jealousy is also a part of socialism.
