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.
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

It wasn't the dress that cost so much--it was the diamond earrings.
"ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 5 (UPI) -- Potential U.S. first lady Cindy McCain sported about $300,000 in designer clothes and accessories at one of the GOP convention sessions, fashion experts said.
Vanity Fair totaled up the duds McCain wore during Tuesday's session of the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., and found the Oscar de la Renta frock McCain wore was $3,000; the Chanel watch, $4,500; shoes, $600, and a four-strand pearl necklace, between $11,000 and $25,000, the New York Daily News reported Friday.
Rounding out the ensemble were 3-carat diamond earrings, a mere $280,000. The newspaper said the jewelry estimates were based on the assumption that the gems were, ah, real.
First lady Laura Bush, by comparison, wore an outfit that night estimated to cost between $3,000 and $4,000, the newspaper reported."

Still pretty sure those outfits are "on loan" from the designers.
Right. It's a very common practice for designers and jewelers to loan out dresses and accessories to celebrities and political figures.
The articles I read stated an estimate of what the items were worth. Not necessarily what CM spent on them, or what they actually cost.
