Senator Obama and Senator Biden have always been supportive of our troops, both when they're in service and when they return home as veterans. Opposing a war does not equate to lack of support for the troops. As a mother, I want a president who thinks long and hard before sending my children into war, a president who tries diplomacy, economic sanctions and trade sanctions first. Wars are sometimes necessary, always serious and should not be fodder for negative campaigning.

first off... Cindy, did you ever ask your Gasbag of a husband the same question when he voted against troop funding because the bill contained a timeline?

Also... is this still the straight-talk express?

The mainstream media thought that the membership of Todd Palin, who is not a candidate for any office, in the Alaska Independence Party important enough to report in such outlets as the Los Angeles Times, MSNBC, and the New York Times, among others. So now that Barack Obama's membership in the far left New Party has been unearthed, will they report his membership in that Socialist organization?

Cindy, don't you understand, please get the facts straight.

Obama voted for a bill that would not only provide funding for the troops but would also ensure your son comes home SOON because he voted for a bill with a timeline. Wouldn't you rather see your child come home soon than be in Iraq for well who knows until when.

Please enough of the twisting of facts, I'm getting dizzy just reading them.

Maybe they can ask him why he voted AGAINST the GI bill for their sons and why most veteran groups are AGAINST him? Do these two know they are the laughing stock of America?

Is it just me, or are the Palin comments falling on increasingly deaf ears? It seems like every day she brings out the folksy "dog goneit's" and "oh gee's" (not to mention the accent and her tendency is do the, "Oh..now...what a minute there..." act) are less and less effective. She may energize the Rep base, but she's not doing much, if anything, for the all important independant vote.

Why do these guys keep repeating the lies even after they have been told to their faces that they are lies? Obama just last night at the debate told McCain for probably the 50th time that he did not vote against troop funding, he voted against the lack of a timeline. Something Americans have shown they want!

I used to be a staunch independent, but this is pushing me over the verge of declaring a party. I don't want to be a partisan, but I don't want anyone thinking I'm aligned with this blatent pander-lying.

Obama can't afford Cindy's shoes. Did she forget that McCain ALSO voted against funding the troops when the bill contained a timeline - Obama voted against it when it didn't. Imagine someone expecting an EXIT strategy when we go to war. BTW, I wrote to our state senators (not that it does any good, I'm from NC)and asked them NOT to fund the troops and my son and nephews are also vets. The Vietnam war ended when congress started to tighten the purse strings, at the very least there should be an exit strategy and a timeline.

Voter fraud--ACORN — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 20:54:36 GMT

Remember the radical leftist group ACORN, the one who Obama has worked with and even trained its members and the group that Pelosi and Reid and the Dem leadership was going to earmark millions to in their 1st version of the bailout package (before the Republicans saw it and demanded it removed). The below are recent developments:

Lake County, Ind., election officials this month rejected thousands of registration forms ACORN had turned in from its drives this summer. On a conference call yesterday, GOP officials noted that up to 11,000 of the applications were no good - tying up election officials and jeopardizing the voting rights of untold victims whose identities may have been stolen.

* Milwaukee, Wisc., officials last month discovered at least seven felons employed as voter-registration workers for ACORN and another affiliated group. (State law bans felons from such work.) They also uncovered a raft of problematic voter-registration cards. The state GOP accuses the group of trying to get dead, imprisoned or imaginary people on the voter rolls. Fraud has plagued ACORN's Milwaukee chapter since the last election cycle.

I supposed this radical, socialist group ACORN, like Rev Wright, Bill Ayers, and Tony Rezko is just another "innocent" "association" of Barack Obama.

Obama, MOst of America still doesn't truly know who you are! And you're hoping they don't find out...

The McCain/Palin team have reached a new low. Using their "country serving sons" as pawns in this chess game of politics. It will be interesting to see how much lower they can go with just under a month left till election day. With the tactics this team has used, they stand no chance of getting elected, and have probably jeopardized their chances of holding onto the jobs they currently hold. What a lack of integrity.

McCaskill was stepping out of her chair at the end of an MSNBC interview, and Romney was up next. She and a staffer unplugged her various wires, and she handed Romney the earpiece the guests use to hear the host.

"I spit on this before I put it in," she said to Romney, with a sweet smile.

And these are the people the Democrats want in charge. Claire seems to be quite the lady.

I think what's starting to wear "pretty darn thin" is Sarah's little scheme of pretending she has a clue. Yup.

I don't think she has much credibility after her inability to name a Supreme court case, and her nonsensical answers in TWO interviews. And then her LAME excuse that they were "gotcha questions" and "edited".

What's wearing thin Sarah, are peoples patience with you. This isn't Student Council elections, it's the freaking Presidency, and you Sarah, have proven yourself to be completely incompetent and in no way qualified to be One Heartbeat Away.

Frankly if these two ladies would actually think they would come to the conclusion that their sons would be coming home a lot faster under Obama as President!

Oh that’s right they feel it isn’t a victory. You want to lose more Americans over the word victory. General Petraeus said it will be almost impossible to declare victory in Iraq. But wait a minute – Bush already did claim victory – “Mission Accomplished”.
