How Many?

MsBrainy - 16 Sep 2008 03:11 GMT It's a well established fact that a respectable woman cannot appear in public twice wearing the same outfit. Men, of course, can. But is there an obligation for a woman who happened to wear glasses to have a different pair with a different frame for every public appearance?
As a woman who does not obey fashion orders and chooses to remain independent of passing fads, I dare to wear more than once the same timeless outfit, and I admit to wearing always the same glasses, unless I need a different prescription. But I am not a good example for a respectable woman, and therefore I am not running for any public office. Actually, I have one pair of glasses which I use most of the time, and one spare pair, which is actually my driving glasses.
But I have noticed that Sarah Palin has numerous pairs of glasses, and my question is: How many pairs a governor who wants to be the U.S. vice president needs?

I know a lot of women who have multiple glasses, multiple watches, and multiple everything else.
Everyone should have at least two pair, as a backup.
I haven't noticed that she wears multiple glasses (and I bet you didn't notice it either until someone told you about it).
BTW, how many hair plugs did Joe Biden need to become a VP candidate?
MsBrainy - 16 Sep 2008 03:35 GMT Wrong Mark, nobody told me and if you look you'll see that she has countless pairs. Why do you think that somebody else is capable of noticing it but I cannot?
I have no idea about hair pieces Joe Biden has, but this important issue belongs elsewhere, not in a vision group, so I will not elaborate on it.

I haven't noticed that Palin wears multiple pairs (she wears fairly unobtrusive frames from what I can see), but most women I know have more than one pair.
Biden doesn't have a hairpiece, he has hair plugs (transplants). How many pair of contacts does Biden have?
Why is any of your blabbering idiot post relevant to a vision group?
MsBrainy - 16 Sep 2008 04:00 GMT Lighten up Mark. It has been boring here since the mysterious disappearance of Zetsu and the diminishing quantity of Otis' posts.

and a few dozen additional pairs now on order by Carl Rove for future campaign appearances (mostly at church services).
PS -- imagine what a bad month it has been for Bristol Palin's boyfriend.

I am glad that we are now getting involved in important issues. It is not that gay marriage and poor schools are not important to us. At least we qill no longer waste our time on war, budgets, taxes, failing banks and all that other unpleasant stuff that interfere with having a carefree life.

I think "ridiculous criticisms" include accusing OBama of legislating in favor of sex education for kindergardeners, and favoring tax hikes for all Americans. Its all bullshit. And the only way that tired old McCane could energize his campaign, aside from his recent flurry of gutter-attacks, is by selecting an unknown charismatic fledgling women governor as his running mate-- truly a master stroke. I didn't give him credit for doing it-- perhaps it was Carl Rove's idea. Now suddenly OBama is not the popular one, and everyone ignors the real issues (to the Republicans benefit) while they discuss Sara Palin's outspoken character, blah blah blah.
Will it stick for the next 7 weeks? Will the voters continue to be dazed by the mind-numbing advertising tactics of the Republicans?

So are you claiming that the person who made the initial post about Palin's multiple pair of glasses is a McCain supporter? I think it is fairly safe to day they are not, and they are on the "left" of the political spectrum.

Just to make it clear, I expressed no opinion or criticism about Sarah or her multiple glasses. I simply asked a question, which nobody has answered yet, including spammer (my question was as to HOW MANY she, or anybody in her position, NEEDS, not how many she WANTS).
Well, now I have another question: Are there any republicans here with some sense of humor?

Give me a break and don't insult my intelligence.

Please don't lie any more. It makes you look worse than you already are.

Now I suppose that you are going to tell me that:
1. It is unusual for women (who can afford it) to have more than one pair of glasses, and/or 2. That it is a complete coincidence that you are will not be voting for her this fall.
I am sure that you think it is humorous to make ad hominem attacks upon people you have political differences with, but perhaps it would be more fruitful to criticize her on the issues instead. But something tells me that is beyond your intellectual ability.
It is little wonder that Hilary didn't get the Presidential or VP nomination form the Democrats.

Issues, issues, ISSUES! Does any voter give a sh** about issues? That is why both major candidates are talking about them in a TRULY SERIOUS way.

Neil Brooks - 17 Sep 2008 22:42 GMT I'll tell you who has NO sense of humor ... when it comes to optical wear. It's the Constitution Pary and Green Party candidates.
I mean ... come ON!
