One of the nasstiest tricks the Left pulled last fall was to attack Sarah Palin's wardrobe, those purchases the Republican Party made on her behalf. Well, that's all out the window; the FEC dismissed those complaints...

WASHINGTON - The Federal Election Commission has dismissed a complaint over the $150,000-plus designer wardrobe the Republican Party bought to outfit vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, the good-government group that filed the complaint, argued that candidates aren't supposed to use donor money for personal expenses such as clothes. The FEC ruled Tuesday that the ban doesn't apply to party money, however.

Hardly a word, now, about those $540.00 shoes and that collection of tablecloths and curtains our First Klingon is wearing...

Sarah Palin is a hate-magnet for the far-Left. They've few targets to latch onto, since George Bush has faded from the spotlight. Perennial targets of hate, and targets of opportunity (including Rush Limbaugh, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Joe the Plumber, and now Carrie Prejean of all people) catch their sputtering winds of spite, but lovely steely-eyed Sarah Palin brings out special fear and loathing. That's all it is, really; fear that Sarah Palin might expose their soft, weak underbellies, and loathing that Sarah Palin eclipses their far-left socialist offerings with her determination and popular anti-Washington flavor. Pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment, and, like Ted Nugent, tough as nails.

Sarah Palin was (and is) a breath of fresh air to the dismal pollution that is Washington D.C. politics. Of course the lefties are threatened by Sarah; she's unbent by their tirades and their invented crusades against her.

One thing for sure: John McCain was a sorry-ass candidate, and probably doomed to failure from the start, but he received millions and millions more votes than he would have because of Sarah Palin. Mine for one. Not that I would've voted for that dirty socialist rat Obonga, but I might've stayed home, or voted third party. Which would've been, as we all know, a wasted vote.
