I think it's messed up

Biden donating $300 dollars a year just indicates that he's stingy. I don't know that he ever claimed to be otherwise.

Bah. Just because Biden is already a pompous jerk, he gets a pass? I don't think so. You're just trying to excuse your hypocrisy by pointing out (allegedly) Palin's.

That's the rub of it. $369 is stingy by our standards, but it would mean the world to George Obama.

Um, no. There is no hypocrisy here. I'm sure you can find many instances of Barbara hypocrisy, but this is not one of them.

And I never accused Palin of hypocrisy. I said it was a strategic mistake by the RNC to put Palin forth as the NASCAR queen and then dress her in clothes from Saks. I believe that's true.

Biden and his charitable donations are unrelated.

Worry not, YOhio - and you too Babs.

Once Obama takes office, he'll realize that in order to make good with all of his bullshit promises, your taxes will increase significantly.

And the fact that he ignores his brother's plight is no surprise. He's a politician and only gives a damn about his political career.

She is a NASCAR queen! Have you read the women's resume? My goodness, she buys some expensive clothes and suddenly she's what ... an elitist?

Give me a break. The only people to whom that clothing buy was a big deal are people looking for a reason to nitpick. Maybe you'd prefer she wore her ski jacket to the convention.

Not in my mind. I'd bet Palin's charitable donations blow him out of the water, dollar for dollar; and proportionally, I'm quite certain its even worse.

You are very frustrating.

I never said she was an elitist. I said the RNC made a mistake.

I know what you said. I'm questioning the reason why you think it's a mistake. Somehow you think this invalidates her credentials as the EveryMan/Woman, and I think that's quite silly.

I don't think it invalidates her credentials. I do think it shows how out-of-touch the party is when her clothes cost three times as much as the NASCAR voter's house.

This IS a disgrace.

That makes him a bigger piece of shit than I already thought. My 15 year old son gives more to charity than that, and it's not to the church.
