And yet the Media Keeps Harping About Edwards Haircuts

[illinoisprogressive]

Get aload of this. Romney has spent alot of money on expensive makeup and makeup artist services. We have not heard much in the news about this. We don't hear the endless jokes and the painting a picture of a vein pretty boy like we do with Edwards. And yet.....


The perception that Mitt Romney is some sort of pretty-boy was burnished earlier this week when reports emerged that he spent $300 in campaign funds for makeup "consulting" this year.

It turns out Romney has maintained an expensive beauty regimen for years.

A RAW STORY analysis of Romney's campaign finance records during his time as Massachusetts governor shows he spent nearly $2,000 on makeup artists over four years. The personal-beautification spending was divided over six sessions to three separate companies. Individual makeup jobs ranged in price from $180 to $690.

After reports emerged in April that Democratic candidate John Edwards spent $400 for a haircut, the media jumped on the story. It was mentioned twice as often as Romney's makeup work in the days after each story was reported, according to a database search.

1. That's because Romney isn't rocking the boat....

Talking about the rich and poor living in two Americas is a taboo subject. They are out to get Edwards.

3. The Media belong to Romney,'s America

small group of elites at the top and then the rest of us.
They do not want or see the need for change. Edwards is
a threat to this comfortable way of life for those at the
top. Since they(the Media) are corporately owned, and Business id
not at all happy with the idea of an Edwards Presidency;
it is in their interest to target Edwards get rid of him.

There is a relaity. Any candidate has to have the approval
of Business. We have permitted Business to gain such
control.
