Quit being sheep - the media wants you to be upset. Why? It distracts you from the real issues: economy, jobs, healthcare cost, mortgage crisis, OWS, etc. Point is.....to any of these politicians, $10k is nothing. Here are some examples:
1) Recent history: Callista Gingrich reported $250-$500k debt to Tiffany's, the crown jeweler to America. Wow! No costume stuff for that Mary Kay on steriods. I'm a shopaholic but even I wouldn't spend *waste* that much at Tiffany's - especially if one could just go straight to Harry Winston or Buccellati! Guess the credit terms weren't as favorable. But please let me know who out there has that just sitting in their jewelry "portfolio"!
2) Past history: And has everyone forgotten Cindy McCain's outfit @ the RNC was estimated at $300k: Chanel J12 watch,,,,$5.5k, 50's style designer dress (Oscar de la Renta)...?, etc. Her money (from her family alcohol distribution) was the force behind his campaign.
3) The B*shes: Anyone care to guess? Remember the prez pushed back the Clinton era disclosure laws to give the family time to "place" their wealth. And since they are "comparatively" old money, they don't flaunt it like McCain and Gingrich. Just some tasteful endowments to the alma mater, ensuring that the IQ challenged scions will be able to place an Ivy on their resumes. Plus the matriarch who wants the poor children to read - but let's not feed or shelter them. No, that certainly would do.
The GOP is the party of the wealthy elite but it needs the 99% to believe otherwise. So what do they use to convince people? The media. And the media wants Newt, a good ol' Georgia boy, in front....and who controls the media? Oh yeah, corporations. How? Media revenue comes from advertising ie corporate $$. And who really controls the corporations? The wealthy as shareholders, board members, etc. Are you getting the picture yet? So if Newt screws up, do you think it will be breaking headlines? No.
The only GOP candidates with any substance are Paul and Romney...but the media doesn't like them. Why? Simple - Gingrich will be so easier to manipulate....
And last, but not least, does anyone remember what happened the last time we had a president from Georgia? This Georgia peach certainly does....
