As the mother of a son leaving for Iraq in two weeks I am heart broken and devastated that he may lose his life for a cause totally distorted by my own government for the benefit of the American oil cartel. I am also reminded that it isn't just my child or other young men and women from America who may lose their lives. Parents in every nation that believed in the misrepresentations made by THIS president have or will pay a price for our actions with their children as well. Mr. Bush you should have been impeached for your actions. And just in case you don't remember the definition of the word, it is "to charge (a public official) before a competent tribunal with misconduct in office".

Thank God Mr. Obama is willing to step up, set a date and walk away. Please make your voice heard America, its time for intelligence in Washington. Our country can't survive four more years of "good old boys and girls".

Yes, the rest of us is very concerned that Sarah Palin is even being considered as a potential VP.

Cheerleader, yes, maybe a PR manager, but a VP? Is being objective and honest no longer an option for a Republican?

Good luck.

To all of you who are wishing Beau GOD's blessing....

GOD created everyone and everything. All humans were made by
GOD. We human beings destroy each other and then pretend that we are doing it with GOD's blessing. To you I say.. GOD bless everyone.

@ DEBBY: the war with Iraq IS a mistake, the war has bankrupted our Nation!

If you do not think so, then what do you call spending........$10 BILLION a month?

When our National Debt is $10 TRILLION, almost tripled by Bush/Cheney & McCain!

The disaster our Nation is facing all goes back to Iraq, and spending money we do not have!

No Hillary = No Obama-

Why don't you take your dimestore psychology and stick it where the sun doesn't shine...ALASKA!!!!

Wow, I think we can rest easy that Joe Biden can run the country very well if anything ever happened to Obama. In this day and age, one can never be certain that we are safe here in America. I would be extremely worried if Mrs. Palin became President because she would be more concerned about cheering her hockey team than dealing with Palestinians and extremists on a Saturday afternoon. Not that someone can do both, but for the next 4 years we have got to have someone who can focus on the world around us not just bounce babies on her knee.

God Bless you & your family, Beau! Thank you for our FREEDOM!!
Obama/Biden '08!!

I, too, agree that she is not being a good mother to have that infant up that late. I did notice that he was trying to sleep. Why would any parent do that to a baby? I boggles my mind!

But I have other issues concerning her and her parenting style or lack thereof. I also question who that baby really belongs to ... I'm just having a hard time believing Sarah could be in labor on an airplane for hours and the stewardesses didn't have a clue she was even pregnant. I just can't buy the fact that when she was 7 months pregnant nobody, including the people she worked with, knew ... or that after having 4 other children she didn't look pregnant at the age of 44 ... I just don't trust the McCain campaign because I think they would rather make a good story into a better one by fudging the truth a tiny bit. All you have to do is remember is Cindy claiming Mother Theresa asked her to take the 2 babies back to the states, one of which she adopted, when it was actually other nuns that asked. There again, making a good story better by fudging the facts a little. Its not like the McCain camp hasn't done it before.

Thanks Joe for being the only one who actually participated th the debate. You were thoughtful and respected the format. Palin spent 90 minutes spewing her talking points right off those cliff notes on the podium and having total disregard for the debate format. I guess you know how follow the rules.

Palin only repeated what she learned this week

Joe Biden was able to more effectively speak to Obama's plans to benefit the American people. Sarah Palin was a cheerleader for McSame.

There is no help or hope for the Republican ticket. They are doomed and tonight's debate has sealed it.

Here's to ALL the troops in Iraq coming home safely.

There is no question that Joe Biden came off better last night, as all Gov. Barbie could do was repeat staged talking points.

OBABA/BIDEN 08

Biden had a better command of facts. Perhaps, if we deregulated them (the facts) Palin's folksy quips would have more substance.

He made a clear distinction between Obama (change) and McCain/Bush (same). Palin failed to separate Bush from McCain.

Hands down smokin Joe did his job, supported our next prez with honor and wisdom far beyond his opponent!

I fell sorry for Biden because Beau is the son that survive the car wreck many years ago that killed Biden's wife and daughter... NOW that son (Beau) is being deployed to IRAQ which none of our troops should have been over there in the first place. I'm keeping Biden and Palin son in my prayers even though Palin believe in keeping the troops over in Iraq forever.. It's time to bring these young men and women home...

To hell with McCain/Palin nonsense and stupidity. Last night, Palin sounded scripted. She was winking at the camera, what's next a little thigh action? and who the hell gives a shout out to third graders in the middle of a debate. Palin skipped over some of the questions and answer the questions she was comfortable with and NOW she's blaming Katie Couric for asking common sense questions. WOW.

Biden was clear, concise and to the point and I like that a lot.

Obama/Biden '08

Biden is going to help keep the Obama momentum going because he won this debate.

Biden helped more because he was real and personal.

May God watch over your son, Senator Biden.......as well as all the rest of the men and women fighting for our country.........God bless you and the rest of your family as well, Joe...... the tears you shed at lastnight's debate told me you have a real soul.......unlike Governor Palin, who didn't even comment on how hard it was for you to talk about Beau leaving ........it gives me great pleasure to be voting for Barack Obama and Joe Biden........I feel a weight being lifted from my shoulders knowing they will soon be taking us away from this deep dark hole we've been living in......and giving new life to all Americans........

Sherry from Missouri

He showed discipline and a lack of gaffes as he is prone to. He also could be president if anything bad happened to Obama.

Biden did a great job of tying McCain to Bush policies. Clearly won the debate.

Biden brings expertise and knowledge about foreign affairs.

Debby-

I am a desert storm vet. I have a son in Iraq. I am opposed to the Iraq war. I'm disgusted when people like you question my patriotism or that of Joe Biden's. I'm disgusted that republicans spin things to make it seem like I am not a patriot because I call BS when I need to. I do not want my son to die in vein because people like you are brainwashed into thinking you know what you are talking about when you have clearly not been there.

Shame on you.

Biden used up alot of his time correcting her with facts. She was caught in folfsy gosh darn lies-pitiful !

Palin failed to show that McCain is different then Bush. She was very UNPRESIDENTIAL!

No Offense to Palin but Biden showed himself to be much more ready to be President.

Biden knows he will really be running things if Obama wins, it was glaringly obvious in his answers at last nights debate.Obama is just a front man for the Old White Washington elite.Just wait until they make him tapdance.

He clearly showed the difference between the two tickets with substantial answers. He easily linked McCain to the Bush administration.

A no-brainer here
Obama/Biden

Biden took a stand for Dad's against the cutesy "Hockey Mom". What makes her think she has a monopoly on family value?.

Palin ignored questions, was versed, "over-acted" & to ignore Article 1 of the Constution of VP duties, disturbing... (

If you only have negative things to say about Biden's son going to Iraq, please go on a blog with Fox News and leave your idiotic comments there.

Thanks

Congradulations Joe Biden on raising a son that wants to serve our country.

COME NOVEMBER 5TH, PALIN WILL BE AS FORGOTTEN AS SHE WAS BEFORE HER SELECTION.

GO BACK TO MOOSE COUNTRY HONEY!

Best of Luck to Joe Biden and his son! Joe (and no, that's not six pack Joe) clearly won the debate last night. What a contrast between a person with warmth, sincerity, and charisma and a vacant reptile. Sara Palin's cold, snakelike stare sends shivers!

Whats a Maverick? 'John McCain is the only one in this race that has ever really fought for you' I think not, I find it impossible to believe that Jon McCain had an African American like me on his mind back then, because all I really have to do is look at his Civil Right's Record and that would give me a good idea of rather or not he was fighting for me, however I can't because he doesn't have one.

Debby October 3rd, 2008 2:27 pm ET: It is possible to support the troops with supporting a wrong headed war about nothing started by a President with a war agenda using 9/11 as an excuse. Like a true republican I guess you suspended your brain when you blog. Since you are the Iraq war expert please tell me why we went to Iraq, do not say 9/11, WMD's or 10 yrs after the first gulf war Bush discovered Saddam was a threat. When you answer why we are there, tell me what we will win when we leave?

I have the perfect commercial; a picture of Biden and Palin next to each other with the sound of a Heart beating for 30 seconds...

God bless America and God bless our troops.

Great job! Joe.

I just read that Dick Morris judged Palin the winner. How many times has this man changed his position? He was anti-Hillary until Obama won and now says anything to retain his position on Fox. I know that the folks at Fox can barely breathe. An Obama – Biden victory would see the end of their dominance in cable news and consequently less revenues and fewer analysts........

I didn't know that democrats had children in the Military... Last noghts debate was interesting of what I saw. I have the perfect commercial; a picture of Biden and Palin next to each other with the sound of a Heart beating for 30 seconds...

God bless America and God bless our troops.

Oh People open your eyes and dont trust Biden/Obama. They wash your brain. and dont lick their butt.

This is politics at it's best....do all of you (both Republicans and Democrats) remember the democratic primaries where Joe Biden said it straight out that Obama was not ready to be commander in chief?????? do you all remember when Joe Biden said that Obama was not ready to be president????? Do you all remember when Joe Biden said that Obama had no foreign experience?? do you all remember when Joe Biden was against Obama for not funding the troops and called out Obama on it???

Geeee now look at what Joe Biden is saying about Obama now..hmmmm.....hypocrite!!!!

I myself have deployed over there. I know it is not at all safe and anything can happen, even to a JAG officer. I wish your son and his unit a successful deployment and a safe return.

I was really impressed last night with you Sen. Biden. You stuck to the talking points and answered the questions directly, unlike Sarah "Can I Call You Joe?" Palin. I noticed when she started calling you Sen. Biden that she was getting pissed.

And oh yeah, McCain/Palin, IT IS OVER!!! The Michigan debacle is just a sign of things to come for the next few weeks. If you can't win the Reagan Democrats, you don't stand a snowball's chance of winning the presidency.

Good job Joe. How stupid do you have to be to believe Palin. Shes a nut job. wink wink.

Joe Biden seems like a depressed individual

lol @ the amount of double standards here...both Biden and Palin have sons going into Iraq. leave it at that. how many of you here would like sending any of your family there? service is service. bickering over the location of their deployment or their duties is silly and childish.

btw, it's nothing new for Biden to be speaking at the deployment in DE. it's been reported he's done it many times before.

COME NOVEMBER 5TH, PALIN WILL BE AS FORGOTTEN AS SHE WAS BEFORE HER SELECTION.

GO BACK TO MOOSE COUNTRY HONEY!

God Speed Beau and EVERY.SINGLE.SOLDIER and their families.

Way to GO Joe!

And, unlike Caribou Barbie, he didn't mention the unit number or where they would be deployed on National television...

Imagine: Your child is in the military. It's 9/11 and the President needs to call the vice-president to get advice about the strategy to take. Close your eyes and imagine the phone ringing and Joe Biden answers the phone. Then close your eyes and imagine Sarah Palin answering the phone. SCARY!!!!

Obama is okay, but, Biden is more qualified to be President than anyone in the race.

Biden knew his stuff Palin didn't answer the questions and admitted she didnt

Joe Biden was far more knowledgeable than Sarah Palin. Her answers were evasive , some were completely wrong. She is not qualified to be VP

Go Joe! You were brilliant last night; no surprise. Unlike Palin who memorized a speech and delivered it in segments.

GObama/Biden

He was the professional. Can you imagine her speaking to a foreign leader....Dog gone golly...wink wink. God help us if they would win.

Joe Biden needs to be on anti-depressants.

Joe is great. I'm proud that he's my VP nominee and he's a credit to Barack Obama's leadership and a credit to the Democratic Party.

Joe Biden seems to have depression right at the surface – he chokes up when speaking of his life's traumas and looked stressed and tired at the debate. I wonder if his obvious depression is being treated.

Yeah!!!!!! I'm doing Oprah's version of the happy dance. Mods, please merge this with the other thread!!!!

I like your style Joe Biden

may God Bless your son!

HOW CAN ANY LOVING PARENT WITH SO MUCH ANIMOSITY TOWARD BUSH'S WAR WITH A GOOD CONCIENCE AND FEIGNED NIECTIES SEND THEIR SON INTO HARMS WAY WITHOUT PROTESTING TO HI HEAVEN SUCH A DECISION. ITS ONE THING TO BE AGAINST A THING AND ANOTHER TO SEE YOUR CHILD OFF INTO THAT VERY EVIL. JOE BIDEN AND OBAMA EMBODY SUCH STUPID HYPOCRISY! THIS VERY THING SO READILY DESCRIBES THEIR TICKET. LIE NOW AND SCHMOOSE LATER. THE OLD OOPS DID I DO THAT APPROACH.

I think Joe Biiden looked intelligent and thoughtful. Sarah Palin wants to be a vice president just like Dick Cheney. Yikes!!!!!

More eloquent, more intelligent, clearer on what the ticket would do. Palin just babbled, even giving third-graders a shout out.

Sarah Palin helped herself, but not McCain. Joe Biden attacked McCain more than he praised Obama, but that helped Obama.

C;mon, would you feel safe with Palin as President in these precarious times and with so much repair to be done? No, I didn't think so.

May God be with you and your son and your family and to all who face and have faced sending love ones off to war.

Thinking of You.

Joe,

Great job on not crushing Palin last night–she buried herself in her own stupidity. You came; you conquered; you were great. She's a complete Nincompoop . Period.

Obama/Biden

It's confirmed!!

Praying for his son and all the soldiers in harms way... that we can bring them all home- as soon as possible- with total honor and respect and the benefits they deserve!!

Obama/Biden 08

I will vote for the man who had the audicity or the best strategy to run against the Clinton administration and won. What we need for these challenging times are leaders who know the difference between strategy and tactics.

The Republican Party is very good at "tactics"-therefore Palin but when it comes to "strategy", well see the mess we are in!

Obama/Biden sealed the deal for me yesterday night!

Beau I will add you and your unit to my prayers for all of our troops. Take care, be safe and come home.

Joe I am proud to call you our Vice President. You gave the debate of your life last night and it made me proud. You spoke of what you know while Gov. Palin spoke of what she had memorized.

There is a difference. Yours came from the heart while hers came form the cue cardsgiven her by her coaches.

Im so proud of MY ticket!!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12!!!!

YES WE CAN!!!! AND WE WILL!!!

Biden was really great, the only mistake he made was the mentioning of an unknown ethnic group in the Baltic's whose people go by "Serbiak's.. that cracked me up but everyone knew who he was talking about. I really felt bad for him when his voice began to quiver when speaking about his deceased wife and daughter. Sad story, no one can fault the guy for showing emotion on that.

I can't wait to check out Fox news to see how they spin this into a Pallin blowout

We love you Joe!! May God bless your son and the troops!

Sending his son to a war whom Obama voted against. Man I would love to hear that conversation between his son and Obama.

Very political of him. I thought that was frowned upon. Oh, never mind, I forgot, it's only frowned upon when it's a Republican.

I am so excited about the O'Bama-Biden ticket. It would be so nice to have intelligence in the White House again. I think most of the people that voted for "someone to have a beer with" have learned that it is a job that requires intellect. Senator Biden explained so many things tonight that Senator McCain lied about.

Obama/Biden

True America!!

Failin was not even close to presidential.

At best she did a very good job as a NewsCaster spreading the mantra of her party.

She did not appear real, honest, or that she was talking from what she knows.

Instead she looked Fake, Prepped, and truthfully like a talking Parrot.

I thought I was the only one thinking this! I understand that the McCain people know that her family "connects" with the public, but can't they at least let the baby be safe in his snuggy bed at that hour as he should be. He is, after all, not much older than an infant. The sister lurching around the stage with the baby in her arms (no support of the back) looked pretty dangerous too! Back in the 70's and 80's I was a single mother and if I was out late at a business meeting etc, my young children were home like they should have been. It's pretty bad when a campaign uses babies!!!

My kids are in bed at 8PM because they have school the next day. What are her kids doing following her around the country this campaign instead of being in school?

It gets really personal now doesn't it Joe. The men who are fighting for this country, most of them, just want to be with their families and be safe. I believe that they all want to win. What many of you don't feel, is
that The soldiers are AMERICA'S TEAM. They are fighting the super bowl of their lives. The least we can do is stand up and cheer for them.
When Barak said our guys were air-raiding villages and killing civilians,
he made us sound worse than the mafia. How could a true patriot be
so disdainful of the sweat, blood and tears of our great soldiers.
I am proud of Patriot McCain, and Patriot Palin, they have always been Proud of America, and they will bring our boys home with honor.

God speed, Beau. Come home soon... come home safely.

Dallas, TX

What are you talking about. There was A LOT more coverage of Palin's son leaving than Biden's son. Please shut up now.

Her grammer is terrible and she is so confused. I don't fault her wanting to succeed but why not raise her family first? She comes across as being very selfish and I am offended that McCain tried to win the female vote by selecting her. They should have done more searching but then, he is out of touch on so many

It's a pretty sad statement about the vice presidential debate that Sarah Palin's success was that she didn't fall flat on her face. With the immense difficulties facing this country, we need an experienced Vice President, not someone who has absolutely no domestic and foreign policy experience. She has no understanding of the complexity of the issues facing this country. Joe Biden spoke knowledgeably about the issues and totally outstripped Sarah Palin. Joe Biden won by a landslide. McCain made a huge blunder choosing her as his running mate.

We have to continue to keep all our troops in our prayers. My nephew returned for Iraq about 2 years ago and it was a very trying time for my sister while he was gone. While in Iraq he was a medic and he saw quite a bit, we need to bring our young men and woman home.

I pray for Beau and all our troops for speed and safe return. Senator Biden you should be proud, our military makes us all proud.

Obama/Biden

Isn't it good to tell our kids not to be pregnant at the age of 18?
Is it not good to tell our sons and daughters to go to Harvard and Yale and get the best education?

You Betcha!

Biden,

You have made me very proud to support you & Obama in this election.

Great job last night!

My prayers are for your son's safe return, and all service men & women.

Obama/Biden '08
God bless America!

If you hear the sound of gnawing, that would be the republicans biting themselves at the realization that their star is hitched to a lying geriatric hothead and a painfully dimwitted airhead.

That said,

God Bless all the families of the boys and girls that have had to pay the price for Bush's folly. I just know that in the end, the American people will do the right thing for our country, for the world and for our future.

Obama/Biden all the way!

To Beau, God bless you and thank you for your support. I myself am a 20 year veteran. Please watch your back and stay safe.

To Joe, you were great last night and thank you for enhancing Barack's ticket. Some say Sarah is hot but let me tell you, I am a 45 year old black woman and YOU are the hottie here. Jill is a lucky woman to have not only a good looking man, but an intelligent ,caring, and strong man.

May God Bless you & your son, Mr. Biden!

Biden was knowledgable and understood the issues, Palin memorized soundbites.

Biden I wish you and your family the best, it must be difficult to send him off. Hopefully when you and Obama take office things will change.
Real Change We Can Believe In.

GOD bless you all and we'll have you out of there as soon as possible.

OBAMA '08-NO MORE WAR FOR OIL!!!!! IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!!!

God Speed Beau- and to all our troops-help is on the way! We will begin a new and positive agenda come January 20, 2009 when President Barack Obama takes the oath of office!

TAINOPOWER – Palin creamed Biden?? You have got to be kidding.
Biden spoke from experience-Palin spoke memorized talking points and from notes on cue cards. It was obvious that she was making points that she had no understanding of. Dick Morris is not exactly an objective source-and by the way do a little research into just who owns most of the so-called "liberal media" in this country

Senator Biden looked Presidential during the debate. He may be the most qualified VP in the history of our country.

Biden talked facts and substance... Paline talked rhetoric

Joe Biden,
I have had the privilege of sitting in an audience twice when you were speaking in Scranton. The first time was during the Kerry campaign and the early stages of the war. You spoke words of encouragement and made everyone in that room feel safe and gave us hope. You also give words of encouragement and make the american people feel there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel everyday on the campaign trail.
I will pray for your son Beau and all the soldiers fighthing for our freedom be kept safe and come home soon.
God Blees America – God Bless you and your family

Biden debated with RECORDS but Palin shouted with lies pushed into her head during her training sessions. Further both of their sons are in Iraq. I hope Obama/Biden combine bring those young guys home safe!

He really let us know what Obama is all about!

He made me approve Obama!!

God Bless and protect our brave soldiers.

Debby-

The Confederacy referred to the Civil War as "the cause." Given your racist statements about Senator Obama I suggest you stop living in the past...the South LOST....or go and iron your white sheet already!

Thank you Biden family-

Women for Obama

Biden, you and your family is awesome. Our best wishes to your son and Palin's son. I don't like Palin since she does everythign for show. People like Debby who are racist will find ways to discredit others. Deep down racism prevails in some. But, a lot of white folks are beyond the silliness that Debby said in one of the comments below. God bless America and her soldiers and their families.

He knows his stuff, is a real guy and will make a great VP.

Beau keep you head down and your spirits up. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Military Mom

Debby,

The Confederacy referred to the Civil War as "the cause." Given your racist statements about Obama, I suggest you stop living in the past..or go iron your white sheet already.

This is a good event but that does not desrve Barack/Biden to be our president. Our country and troops will be in good hands if we elect John Mccain as our president.

He answered the questions and gave specifics, however, Palin as usual avoided questions.

President of Harvard law Review+

Joe Biden-chairman of Foreign affairs committee=True America and Bright world!!

Dallas,

CNN was all over it when Palin's sons unit was deployed. Go back and check the archives moron!!!!

Tainopower,

Palin's son probably is behind the front line considering who his mommy is.

Joe Biden is a true statesman! He was clear, concise and stuck to the issues. He successfully linked McCain to Bush and didn't attack her

Let's hope and pray that all of our courageous men and women come home safely and soon.

No more unintelligent war-mongers in the White House, please vote Obama-Biden.

“Raising taxes is not patriotic.”

Without a doubt – Biden

Single most important election I have ever Voted.

Thanx joe for your closing remark yesterday night!!

Yes I would to if my son was hiding behind a desk. He is a lawyer and probably his there to not to defend our soldiers. pailn son is in the front of the battle getting shot at. Biden son his getting a paper cut. Dick Morris Says last night that Palin 'Creamed' Biden. The liberal media will not give credit to palin for the debate. The people of this country is. Watch the polls. Not the liberal media control polls.

He was wise and informed and sober and respectful. He was VERY honest and VERY well-informed unlike Palin who aped her talking points.

Debby: October 3rd, 2008 2:27 pm ET

I commend Biden's son but not Biden constantly criticizing the Iraq failure when he himself has a child who believes in the cause. I am sure his son would have another profession if he didn't think the war was a failure. I can't imagine a parent belittling a cause that his own child believes in one night, and then give him his blessing the next, especially when Biden kept pounding away how the war was a mistake.
_____________________________________________________

Debby, Biden supports the troops...NOT the war. There's a difference. Understand that.

He withstood the barage of distortions from Palins about his and Obama's record without lowering himself to her level.

All substance no fluff for Biden.
All fluff and no answers for Palin!
Can't she just answer a question???

Palin did not offer a single coherent response to a direct question from "Charlie", Katie Couric, or Gwen Ifill!

Debby
It is not "believing in the cause".... It is doing his duty. As a son of a 30 year Army enlisted man who served 2 tours in Korea and 2 tours in Nam I can tell you that "the cause" has nothing to do with it.

It is all about DUTY.

This is something that we should not have done. That is very clear now. We have wasted so much blood and treasure in a misguided war.

Senator Obama was one of the very few that were not swayed by the Bush fear tactics. He is the one who has shown real insight.

Biden was in command of his responses with clear statements which were supported by facts and on message

GOOD LUCK BEAU. OBAMA AND YOUR DAD WILL BE BRINGING OUR TROOPS HOME VERY SOON. GOD BLESS ALL OUR TROOPS.

it'll be nice to finally be able to look up to washington again.

go back to your hockey moms and joe 6-packs back in Alaska, sarah palin.

Biden...a true patriot.

He delievered a knockout performance just 1 day before his son is shipped off to the most dangerous war on earth right now.

Hats off.

Biden talks of what he actually knows. Palins speaks what she was told to say.

God Bless everyone ....

Thank you Beau- Stay safe

A story was shared with me of Sen Biden at a fundraising event held in New York for those who stutter..Sen Biden took the time to speak with a young man just starting off in his singing career and the words of encouragement spoken by Sen Biden was not only felt by this young man but also by his mother...American you have an opportunity to embrace two excellent leaders in Sens. Biden and Obaman...how lucky you are but sadly how blinded some seem to be in their steadfast hold on their own prejudices which is obviously not allowing clear and sound judgement.......As a parent myself I understand your prayer in your debate closing Sen Biden...Prayers are extended to all parents whose children are fighting for their country.

Senator Biden: You were absolutely superb last night at the debate– what a wealth of knowledge and understanding of both foreign policy and domestic policy you exhibited. Can't say the same for your opponent, who didn't directly answer many of the questions and relied on winking and redneck phrases to get through the evening.

I pray your son will return home soon to find his Dad Vice President of the United States.

Yellow Dog Democrat and Fellow Catholic in Knoxville, TN

Even though I am dead set agianst the war in Iraq,

GOD BLESS our troops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And may God Shield their families!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I commend Biden's son but not Biden constantly criticizing the Iraq failure when he himself has a child who believes in the cause. I am sure his son would have another profession if he didn't think the war was a failure. I can't imagine a parent belittling a cause that his own child believes in one night, and then give him his blessing the next, especially when Biden kept pounding away how the war was a mistake.

Good luck son.

Ignore Obama's comments about our troops air raiding villages and killing civilians.

Your COUNTRY supports you.

I hope your son comes back soon Biden!! Hope he stays safe!!

STAY SAFE BEAU.

OBAMA AND YOUR DAD WILL BRING YOU HOME!

Next VP of the U.S. Joe Biden! We love you Joe. Very good job last night. You nailed it!

Sarah Palin has a son in the war as well and I'd recall CNN reporting on that, just another example of media bias!

May god protect all the sons and daughters!

May God bless Beau Biden...and all the sons and daugthers in harm's way...and may God bless America..

YES WE CAN!

God be with you, Beau. Come back soon and THANK YOU!!!!

Biden we love you!!! God bless your son and all our troops!! Please keep them safe!

beau biden may god bless you

hopefully you can get a emergency leave to see your father sworn in as our next VP of the USA

Good on you Joe. Here's hoping your son and everyone's sons, daughters, moms and dads come home soon. Safe and whole.

Get elected and put an end to this sad waste of this country's finest.

While it was a brief speech, it was heartfelt, and also sweet when Sen. Biden said “I always listen to my general,” when prefacing his comments. May God Bless Beau and his fellow soldiers and my God Bless Obama & Biden as they wrap up these last few weeks before they win the general election!

What a great man, and what a great family...I'd be proud to have them in the White House...

...contrary to what Sarah Palin says/believes, I highly doubt Sen. Biden would EVER "wave the white-flag of surrender" in Iraq, as I'm sure he will always work for the benefit of not only his son, but all those in the armed forces.

CAN I CALL YOU JOOOOE, WINK, WINK ?

Governor Palin, please discuss how your foreign policy positions will differ from the current administration's?

Hey, can I call you Gwen? Heckuva job, Gwen!

I'll betcha' my opponents are a-wishing that you had a Maverick representin' every Joe Six-pack, hockey mom – bless their hearts – ya' know? Darn right, a maverick does a heckuva job, not just kinda good, but honest-to-goodness heckuva job! As one of my heroes, Donny Rumsfield, once told me, "Golly gee willickers, that's a peach of a pickle!". So yes, I know a little somethin' about oil up here in the only Arctic state

May God bless him and bring him and our men and women safely.

Next VP of United states,

JOE BIDEN!!

GODSPEED, BEAU!

We'll do you proud by electing your pop here at home!

That's true marverick!!

Biden,Love you!!
