Had McCain been getting that amount every year since Vietnam, that would total $2,000,000 for the man who isn't into overgenerous government. I just find that interesting. I mean, the man built his own lake to go fishing at one of his 8 or 9 houses. Yes, he served his country. But something is wrong when we're paying millionaires $58,000 a year, especially when those same millionaires complaine that we were being "overly-generous" to our troops currently fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. At the very least, it's terribly hypocritical.

And then drive for 45 minutes to a hospital in a small town to have a baby with health problems. How so?...you would think that you would want the best care possible for yourself and the baby at a large city to handle your needs. 2. I read in your newspaper that you gave birth to a 6lb 2oz baby boy. Which you have told us that he was born 4 weeks premature. Does a premature baby not weigh less if premature?..just asking. Did you transport yourself and baby to a neo-natal unit because he was premature?..No because you were back to work 3 days after giving birth. THAT'S ODD 3.Why are all the family pictures taken off the govt and other websites? Are there things there you don't want us to see?...Too late we've already seen them. 4. It's odd that the only baby's parents name that was born in the hospital on that day was definitely NOT Palin. Newspapers are printed Looks like the MSM hasn't the gazoo's to check on these questions because the Repub will call it "sexist" HERE'S MY TAKE ON IT.... You got a phone call when in Texas that Bristol was going into labor, so you booted it for home to make a good coverup.

So here are a few questions Ms Palin before the election:

1. Since you were pregnant and you started to leak fluid, during a
speech in Texas, you chose to finish your speech and then fly for
11 hours back to Alaska. And then drive for 45 minutes to a hospital
in a small town to have a baby with health problems.

How so?...you would think that you would want the best care possible
for yourself and the baby at a large city to handle your needs.

2. I read in your newspaper that you gave birth to a 6lb 2oz baby boy.
Which you have told us that he was born 4 weeks premature.

Does a premature baby not weigh less if premature?..just asking.
Did you transport yourself and baby to a neo-natal unit because he was premature?..No because you were back to work 3 days after giving birth. THAT'S ODD

3.Why are all the family pictures taken off the govt and other websites?

4. It's odd that the only baby's parents name that was born in the hospital on that day was definitely NOT Palin. Newspapers are printed

It's facinating to hear all these so-called "informed" pundits saying Palin doesn't have the experience and she's a "heartbeat away from the Presidency" when it's clear that she has more experience than O'Bama and both she and McCain have a better track record on change than either OBama or Biden. The Dem's are so desparate to get the Oval office they will say and do just about anything. Truth and logic have been totally thrown out the window. Too bad most of the major media has drunk the cool aid. Unbiased reporting has definitely become a thing of the past. Yes CNN - I mean you! The tide is turning.

If it only takes one speech by Palin to deflate his chances this much ... he doesn't stand a chance to hold onto the electoral votes he's got. McCain voluntary stuck to campaign financing limits, and since Obama lied and decided to opt for raising and spending more lobbyist money on the election, he'll way out-spend McCain. And with all of that, it will just serve as emptying rich liberal pockets ... which will be a good thing for our country! Obama's steam is starting to run out ... he's quickly becomming a has-been.
