The value of an outfit
By Kay Flinn Taylor, 508 Holter St. - 09/19/2008
At first reading I was sure it was an error, even for someone with seven or more houses. Imagine a first lady with choices comparable to those of Marie Antoinette!
One dollar purchases eight meals through Food Share; one McCain dress could have provided 2,540,000 meals for the many in this country who are hungry.

Oh! had I the ability, and could I reach the nations ear, I would today pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke. For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the conscience of the nation must be roused; the propriety of the nation must be startled; the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed; and its crimes against God and man must be proclaimed and denounced . . . .
May I suggest all of you google and find out where Cindy's money comes from. Her company was sold to a foreign country; as all of America is being sold out.
HooRay for you Kay for telling it like it is. America Wake Up. "

Sigh............what happened to the old saying, If you are against the Iraq war...you most certainly aren't patriotic? Good old GOP mantra.
Poor rich........stuck their hands out faster than a speeding "silver" bullet for their corporate welfare these past few days. As the late Gov. Ann Richards stated.."poor George.. he can't help it if he was born with a silver foot in his mouth". Poor rich people are getting picked on now? Maybe they can finally understand how the average American feels. "

Get real patriot. Cindy McCain inheireted her money! What were her career choices that made her so rich?
I could care less what she wears.
By the way. Those famous eyeglasses Palin wears are from Japan. Now that shows good ol American support!! Maybe the eyeglasses help her foriegn policy. Helps her see Russia better.....lol. "

Give me a break. Certainly you have better things to do with your time..maybe you could have used the valuable minutes you wasted to write your pointless letter to volunteer or hug a homeless child. "

Your letter is short, and makes no point. The reported cost of the Cindy McCain's outfit are grossly inaccurate and not based on fact.
If one dollar provides eight meals then we should all shop there. Realistically no one in our country should go hungry, check out the help wanted section of the IR daily, there are plenty of jobs available for those who want to work to put food on the table. Our country, the USA, is the largest contributor to the UN. We as Americans do provide our fair share to help the worlds needy, where it may be difficult to grow crops and feed the hungry.
Most Americans are not bitter that Cindy McCain wears stylish clothes, only those who wish they had made better choices with their lives and sought careers allowing a better standard of living. You sound very unhappy with your station in life, it's never too late to change direction. Head down to Target and buy a new outfit or donate those monies to the food share program. Your choice. "

You do know that Cindy McCain, on her own accord is worth approximately $ 100 Million.
This sounds like just another example of liberals trying to tell other people how to spend THEIR OWN money.
A question for you. Do you whine and snivel about how much hollywood liberals spend for the formal gowns they wear at Hollywood premiers and when attending award presentations? If you say yes, then I challenge you to write a letter to the editor taking them to task after the next Oscars are presented.
I found it laughable yesterday when Sen Biden told the rich that it was patriotic for them to pay higher taxes. Since when did how much a person make indicate their level of patriotism? If that is the case then, I guess those whom are not rich aren't as patriotic as the rich. The richer you are the more patriotic you are! "
