Veteran for McCain
I would wager you couldn't give a deffinition of "socialist" .
Is Obama wanting to take over all industry and business? Is he insisting that all wealth, ALL wealth be distributed equally among all citizens?
Is he saying that all property, ALL property be owned by the state?
Of course not.
Shut up if you don't know what the word means.

PALIN IS A LIAR ,JOE THE PLUMBER IS A LIAR HE DOES NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO START A BUSINESS ,HE ONLY MAKES FOURTY THOUSAND A YEAR HE'S NOT A REAL PLUMBER , SO WHY DO THEY KEEP BRINGING HIM UP , PALIN IS A FRAUD JUST LIKE JOE,AND JUST LIKE MCCAIN .!!! (((THAT ONE FOR PRESIDENT ))) !!!!

Hey Guys,

Just came back from a Palin rally. It was electrifying. There were several banners with "Rednecks for McCain/Palin". I am so excited, finally we are going to have a voice in the White House.

Palin is just so cool, she smiled so many times. She also gave us the famous winks, "you betcha", "gotcha". I cannot wait for her to get to White House where she will be in charge of the Senate. I am so happy those senators are going to be reporting to her.

Enough of all the seriousness in the White House, we need Palin. Palin for President 2012. I think she should be on top of the ticket.. She is the best..

Democrats have repeatedly prayed about the war as well. They have prayed for us to lose since day one but, as usual, thay were wrong....we have won the Iraq war and only time will tell if it was all worth it or not.

Oh NO Palin is going Rogue!!! I think we need the military to suppress her!!! McCain adviser: she's out for herself and advancing her own career!

demobrat,
Actually, I do have a nephew there.
Joe biden has a son there.
Nightengale,
What are we there for? Remember, we were LIED to by Bush and his Republican thugs. THAT'S where the true error in judgement happened. Obama was one of the very few who saw it for what it was.
A MISTAKE!
You right wing idiots seem to think you have the corner on the patriotism market.
WRONG.
If you had an ounce of brains, a shred of patriotism, or an inkling of American history, you would be voting for Barack Obama.

Nice touch by the Palin's but obviously too little, too late and too inconsistent with the already exposed arrogant, aggressive, dishonest and self-focused personality. Some seem to be touting Palin for leading the Republican Party in the future and that really seems like taking a negative and making it the cause. What she has presented to the world, as a bold and obnoxious self-centered individual who will say/do anything for her own benefit, should have alienated everyone good.

Here we go, now she cries ... crocodile tears.

HEY "ANDY"...

Your wrong – period. Dems do it privately with sincerity – it's not a photo op at the expense of greiving loved ones like the repugliCONS are fond of doing. Betcha didn't know that didja?

Instead of spending that money on a wardrobe, maybe you should of given some to those poor families who've lost their loved ones, but I guess it's more important to look good then do good!

Palin is a big time fake. She should appoligize for using up donors money to pay for a wordrobe that could have cost 1/4 what she spent. If she was a true conservative, she would of not splurged on designer labels. Send me my money back!

Something a Democrat hasn't done.

Politicizing the death of heroes is one of the more dishonorable things the McCain campaign has done this election.

DREW I UNDERSTAND, I POSTED A GREAT COMMENT A FEW MINUTES AGO AND IT WAS UP NOW IT'S GONE. CNN WHAT'S GOING ON!

There is not a single quote in this article; it is strictly from an observational point of view. I do not think Palin or the GOP brought this to the media's attention, rather it was a reporter's observations.

As the wife of an active duty soldier, the comments belittling Palin for meeting with the wife of a fallen soldier do little to encourage me to support Obama. Are you really that angry all the time? One human comforted another and thanked them for their spouse's sacrifice – it was the right thing to do, and you have to be a pretty sad individual to look down on someone for that. Whether or not you like thier politics.

This is one positive for her. The fact that our men and women are dying in Iraq after five years of this nonsense is unpardonable- but I'm glad to see she took the time for this family.

Why hasn't CNN reported about the letter that was sent to Jewish voters in Penn. I believe. Report! It's just another one of the desperate attempts to distract the American public. Scott that is wishful thinking "my friend." (Not really). How in the world would Sarah Palin be one of the Vice Presidents when she doesn’t even know what the job entails. Let’s be “real” here. JP your argument goes in one ear and out the other about the media being unfair to Palin. She and the McCain campaign did it to themselves. She was ill prepared, they knew it, kept her away from the media, and for good reason, but a time when it should have been beneficial for people to "get to know her." I feel zero sympathy for John McCain or Sarah Palin. The hatred they allow to ensue, the outright lies, character attacks (even when Obama protected the privacy of her daughter), misleading information has exposed both of them for who they are and for me that means they both are LIARS, CORRUPT, MEAN SPIRITED, UNSOUND, ERATIC PEOPLE.
INFORMED, EDUCATED AND READY TO VOTE
QUEEN IN MARYLAND

They should ask Palin to spell "soldier"

Palin: "S O L G E R"

How is the fact that Sarah Palin is running for VP while being found guilty of "ethics violations & violations of the people's trust" not a BIGGER STORY??? Great, that's all we need in the White House is someone that's even dumber then George Bush that lies more then he does.

LIP...You are so out of touch just like every of your co-supporter....the article made about Michelle was factchecked and the author apologised for intentionally lying about Michelle...she wasnt even in that Hotel at all not to talk of ordering anything. As for Palin..she claims to be a soccer mom, hockey mom, lipstick pitbull...etc....I have never seen nor heard any hockey mom spend $150k on clothes in 3 weeks...OUTRAGEOUS

John McCain isn't even an American citizen!!! John McCain is a PANAMANIAN!!! He is a traitor!!!

My son is currently in month 12 of his 15 mo. deployment to Iraq. While I think it is admirable that Palin met with Eggleston's wife (and any governor of any state should do the same thing), why wasn't this kept as a private matter? Why is this being used for campaign fodder? I wouldn't want my grief turned into a photo op for anyone's campaign. Please, please bring our troops home from the quagmire we've created in Iraq. I'm sick of hearing how we must "WIN" in Iraq. And when we can't fund American schools, health care, or jobs, why are we funding the Iraqi's? GO O, AND JOE !!!!!

CNN,you have my greatest sympathy.Sorry I got angry for not being posted,but I must say that reading the wing nuts from both sides for several weeks has certainly been entertaining.I do however believe that it is wrong to use the pain of any family(i.e. the Sheehans)that has lost a loved one for political leverage.That being said,KEEP ON ROCKING CNN !!!!!!!!! You RULE!!

I am so tired of McCain and Palin using the Mil as a shield. Just because McCain was a prisoner of war it doesnt make him a better president. My husband is in the Air Force and I am tired of this war in Iraq. We have a 1 year old that he will be leaving because of this War that we should have never been in! McCain is old and Palin is not ready to run America. Palins husband is part of a group in AK who wants AK to be there own country. Did you know that! It is so funny that McCain and Palin's says "Country First" what a joke!

OBAMA 08 a Change We Need!

Has anybody noticed that some rebups are almost begging for a "terrorist attack" on home soil. And how many have noticed the increased cross border attacks in Pakistan and now Syria. Syria!!! It's strange how the repubs are getting hammered in the run-up to the elections and the millatary ups their " pot stirring ". The fear meter rises and maybe folks are scared back to the repubs. I mean it part of their MO, the fear thing. No?
Just thinking.

I am sick of the lies and sleazy slander from the McCain campaign, and I don't think we need McCain and Palin in the white house.
Our country has been led down the wrong path by the Bush Administration, and more lies from the McCain people is just what we don't need.
Bring honor back to our country – vote Democratic!

Sarah Palin is a vindictive, evil person. That's why she has a witch praying preacher .

Why aren't my comments being shown... This is odd CNN.

CNN,

Where is the audio of Obama where he says "reparations are necessary"!!!!! He's a freakin SOCIALIST. Come on CNN do your job and be non-partisan!!!!!!

Sarah & Todd Palin:

Sarah showed clear signs of respect and support to the closely loved ones of Cody Eggleson an honorable infantry man who served his country in Iraq.

True thought and emotion wear expressed before the biased and cynical media. Giving thought of their son now serving in Iraq, and who served in Ft. Wainwright.

McCain/Palin 2008!

Why won't John McCain admit that his ancestors owned slaves and that he mat have some black blood? Perhaps this is why he depises Obama.

Sarah & Todd Palin:

McCain/Palin 2008!

Although I don't think she is qualified to be president....it is obvious by these posts that Sarah Palin holds more intelligence than most of the Obamabots spewing their hate here

let us remember that Biden has a son serving as well..Pray for them all.
I have spoken with a number of people making over 250k and they ahd said that based on what they have read they are willing to pay more in taxes to get this country back to how it was ,and to help the economy..that the Bush/McCain plan has nto really benefited then at all. If you read obama's plan, you will see that the tax is on the amounts over 250k...so as I understand it if you made 280k the increased tax would be on the 30k....I may well be wrong..but that is what I understand.

How can Palin even talk about cleaning up a corrupt Washington when she abused her power in Alaska. Even the Ancorage Daily News thinks she is unqualified, thats why they endosed Obama.

I am sick of McCain-Palin using the troops as some sort of "campaign shield." They use troops, babies, and "patriotism" to shield themselves from their utter lack of a plan or unity in conveying whatever message it is they were supposed to have had.
In addition, it's hard to believe someone trying to emulate relating to a wife/mother going through these tough times.....with a $150,000 wardrobe & makeover.

LIP: the difference is that Michelle, Hillary and Bill don't clothe themselves at cost to their donors. Both Hillary and Bill are professionals, attorneys who know how to dress and have dressed themselves for years. Same goes for Michelle. And the story about the lobster and caviar? False. Check it out on snopes.com or factcheck. You really should get your facts straight and not regurgitate what has been spoon fed to you by the neo-cons.

She's not qualified to be anything but what she is – Caribou Barbie!

Of course, Bush has yet to attend a funeral for any soldier who has fallen in the name of Halliburton, either!

Sarh & Todd Palin:

Sarah showed clear signs of resect and support to the closely loved ones of Cody Eggleson an honorable infantry man who seved his country in Iraq.

True thought and emotion wear expresed befor the biased and sintical media. Giving thought of thir son now serving in Ieaq, and whom served in Ft. Waeyn.

Nice to report on this CNN.
(Of course this comment will not be shown, but the overall CNN is so pro-Obama that you did not put breaking news on the events in Syria. CNN has joined the death march of journalism in America).

Let us all not forget thaBiden has son serving as well.
t

Okay people, enough is enough.

I think Palin is the worst VP pick ever, worse even than Quayle.

But give her credit for meeting with a fallen soldier's newlywed wife. Does that, by itself, suddenly make her qualified for the white house? Of course not. But let's give credit where due. It was the decent thing to do.

Seeing as how it's the neocon repugliCONs who started the war that Palin and McCain support she should be on her knees begging forgivness for the unlawful killing of that soldier not "praying" for him – Like that kind of fake pandering is gonna make it all better...

Palin more than ever should want our troops to come home!! $$

And yet she and McCain want to keep our soldiers dying in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. It defies logic.

It was obviously a photo op, but let's not forget that there is a young widow in this story and that whatever the justification for political attacks on Governor Palin, commentators in this forum must be mindful of the impact that their remarks might have on the bereaved. She deserves our condolences as much as Sarah Palin deserves to be ignored (on November 5th 2008).

Another son of Oregon dead in a senseless war.

We don't want pats on the back and medals.

We want this war over.

Obama 08

It's great that she is taking the time to meet these most-deserving people. But, again, I have to ask, Does she EVER do anything without TODD? Isn't she capable of at least that? TODD is not running for office, but, be sure of this, he is definitely a "shadow" official. I have no doubt that he is privvy to information he shouldn't be, and you can be sure, "I betcha" that he also has a lot of influence on her decisions and opinions.

Hey Feels Sorry for Liberals:

I liked your post....it's exactly how we feel about you guys! Except without the typos.

First I'd like to thank CNN for always blocking my posts. Very nice. Secondly, to those of you saying she should donate her wardrobe....Biden donated $385 in 3 years (on his tax returns).....that is about 1% of what my husband and I donated in the same time period and Biden makes 3 to 4X more than we do (at least that he is claiming). As to those of you who are saying this was a "picture moment"....you obviously don't have someone in the military. Military families have a bond like no other in this country at this time. For those of you think Obama is the answer.....open you eyes.

Goodbye Sara (Go back to the Tundra till you learn that the Republicans screwed you and you should become a Dem.) Goodbye Carl Rove (hope to see you soon in handcuffs). Goodbye George W. and Cheney (REALLY hope you get to wear the same jewelry as Rove). Goodbye John McCain ( I bet if you would have been one of the Commanders counting strawberries. Even though we know you have never commanded a thing). Goodbye Roberto Gonzales (sorry sack of crap).

And GOODBYE to all the Republicans who say Liberals hate America, If your not with us your against us, The Iraq war was the right thing to do (and keep defending it-screw your surge. AND by the by, THANK YOU for destroying the world economy.
4000 thousand plus dead Americans, Tens of Thousands of dead Iraquis, and now we are working on the Afgans.

THANK YOU! And you think we will give you another four years? Only if you can steal it again!

People please stop all the Palin bashing! How is this a photo op. There are always news media and reporters taking pictures of Biden, Obama, McCain and Palin boarding their planes! Also if you read the article reporters weren't allowed close so they couldn't hear what was being said. I don't think this lady was planted there by the GOP. She was invited to stand on the tar-mac and she approached Palin. That is the business of Palin and that young lady and no one else. Have some respect! Palin can't do anything right in the media's eyes. If she ignored the lady, Palin doesn't care about anyone but herself. If she hugged the lady she is using her for a photo op. I guess you can't with you liberals.

My deepest respect for Cody Eggleston and his family.

I think the real issue here is that a 21 year old boy died! He was a husband, son.....more than likely brother and cousin as well. Think of the heartbroken people that loved him. Then think of the thousands of others just like him. They were brave, we are gratefull to them.

Now, we need to end this war before it causes any more heartbreak. McCain/Palin will not do this.

God bless our military and their families. I pray everyday that they come home safely and soon.

That's great let's see that conversation went like Got Der gonn it. Lol!

All great leaders must face the decision of deloying troops. No leader wants to do it, but know it must be done for the good and security of a country. I applaud Palin for being able to recognize this fact and having a soldier as a son. It is ashame that this election has resulted in people being so judgemental and cynical. Of course as a mother, she hurts for any soldier that dies in the battle field; of course she questions that her son could be next. But, she knows that the troops shouldn't be let down and should be supported. That's our duty as Americans...

I'm sure Sarah Palin had some kind words to say to the mother of the fallen soldier.

But it's words of divisiveness, fear and intolerance that the rest of the world hears in her speeches!

I'd like to know who writes Palin's speeches. If her words of divisiveness are her own, shame on her. If she is reading words given to her by the McCain camp, shame on her.

Palin the publicity stunt. The RNC have the nerves to contemplate requesting a loan to finish their campaign. Maybe they should have thought about that prior to sending Palin on a shopping spree.

More nonsense from the unpatriotic Liberals. Palin visited American soldiers in Kuwait when she was just the Alaskan governor. Obama never visited the troops until after he decided to run for President. He also refused to visit hurt soldiers in a hospital becuase no reporters or cameras were allowed to go with him thus he would not be able to use these brave men and women as photo-ops for his candidacy.

bob: Who do you think pays for Obama trips around the country.

I do, or should I say, we do. All the small donors who scratch up as much as we can to donate to his campaign. He opted out of gov't funding...remember??

You Kids in here be more respectful and quit acting like left wingers!

just a photo op folks!!!
Believe me the only peron Palin cares about is HERSELF!!!!
do your research she has bitten the hand of anyone who helped her by firing them
as for her clothes at 150000 she dresses rather dowdy
most of the time she looks like she is in *mourning*
she doesnt know HOW to dress period
Even Hillary in her pantsuits is a sharper dresser than her!!!

Keep Pushing Sarah. It's a Dummy-Run for Obama...
Joe Biden is the Ventriloquist.....

The nightingale sings in Berkley Square: we don't want to hear your babble. Palin is taking advantage of a photo op. Did you read the comments from McCain's own adviser that says she trusts no one and is out for herself??

To DEBRA........if you like Palin so much, move to Alaska, but don't burden the rest of us with such an obviously limited intellect. We've had enough of that with Bush. Oh....and why not check out why the ANCHORAGE newspaper is endorsing Obama??

Respect is something that is earned and Palin surely has not earned it dEMOBRAT!!!

Pray for anybody serving in this useless war...Next palin will be saying "Let them eat cake, you betcha!"

Hey JL she doesnt, care about anyone but herself, listen to most
of these bloggers it was a photo op. Shame on her for using the
death of one of our soldiers as part of her political game. She's
as much a looooooooooser as McCain. They're pathetic!!!!!!!!!!

QUESTION: Who did President-Elect McCain give a very special thanks to on the evening of November 4th?

ANSWER: Dedicated, confident, and enthusiastic bloggers and supporters of Senator Obama who didn’t show up to vote.

Obama’s lead in virtually all the polls doesn’t mean a thing if we take a win for granted and don’t convert our enthusiasm and support into ACTUAL VOTES.

OBAMA/BIDEN SUPPORTERS…HAVE YOU VOTED YET?

And this is the first time she is doing this, this is a joke, sorry you won't get my vote

Go to the congressional record and find out how many times Obama has voted for us,not many. Also, what kind of person votes present. We need someone who can make a decision.

Remember the New Hampshire primary? McCain’s virtually flatlined campaign was resurrected and Obama’s presumed win flatlined.

OBAMA/BIDEN SUPPORTERS…HAVE YOU VOTED YET?

@ Greg...

Doesn't matter to me how much Obama's suits cost. At least he pays for them with his own money.

WOW!!! All the republican blogger freaks are out in force this morning with their pathetic lies. Their actions mimic those of a parasite taking it's final breaths of life as it fights to overcome the realization that it's decaying claw of greed, deceipt, & manipulation is being torn away from the levers of power. Just a little news flash to brighten your day GOP loyalists: It turns out that your candidate was even born in the United States of America, that's right, John McCain was born in Panama. Which, by the constitution states that John McCain CAN NOT BECOME PRESIDENT. So you see my little GOP voltures, your pathetic attempts to manipulate the electorate are futile for if for whatever reason John McCain should win this election, there is a document already printed & ready to be served to the Supreme Court which will FORBID John McCain from being able to take office. In other words, Obama wins by default even if he loses HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

You people are hater mongers!!!! Out of control, hate-filled people. And who is your candidate??? Obama? Wow........

What has she ever said of substance. It is nice to meet with one person who lost a son in Iraq, but what is she and McCain going to do for all the other families who have lost sons and daughters? The republicans don't do anything for the maimed and sick veterans now.

Sarah Palin is the true shining star of this election and the best hope for America's future.

Joe Biden was a great pick for the Dems and I am starting to see why Obama picked Joe Biden. I like Joe Biden he is really a striaght shooter and he really has Obama's back and I love the way he handles the press when they say asinine stuff like they say when it comes to Obama because he is a Black man. Joe Biden is awesome. And this year the GOP sucks!! Vote for Obama/ Biden 08 and 2012

It'll be nice of her if she can contribute some of 150k she is wasting on fancy clothes to an eduction fund for children of fallen soldiers!!

This is so fake and meeting with the wife of a fallen soldier is just another political tactic done by the immoral PALIN family!
HEY CNN how come u don't post my comments, is it too truthful for you!

She is working on 2012 election .

John McCain is NO hero. He was an undisciplined military person with connections. He is an undisciplined Senator. He would make an undisciplined President of the United States.

Sarah Palin has ethical issues of her own. Hardly the corruption fighter that she is made out to be.

Finally, the Republican Party does NOT care for people who have to work for a living!! They only care about big business, big contributors, and their lobbyists.

This born and raised Virginian will vote a straight Democratic ticket! No to McCain, No to Gilmore, No to Cantor!

This is so fake and meeting with the wife of a fallen soldier is just another political tactic done by the immoral PALIN family!

I believe she cares, what person could stand with a grieving family member and not be moved. Unfortunately for her, I don't think it is in any way related to the election that helps her at this point. The war was started by her party on a pack of lies. She can only offer sympathy and condolences to the family. I will not stoop to say that it is a photo -op, although it just may be one as calculated as the Elizabeth Hesselbeck introduction, but if it offered some support to the family, so be it.

Its always a kind thing to do, to visit the family of those fallen in the war! I am deeply saddened that SO many of our young and brightest have died in the war with Iraq.......... that was launched on LIES!

Palin will do and SAY anything, so we are not surprised. She may even meet with the Pope is it secures the Catholic vote!

Here's the thing, we can not afford another 4 years of a war-hate-fear-lies-and-division monger in the White House!

We are being left with an Economic crisis, thanks to EIGHT YEARS of a Republican presidency and SEVEN YEARS of Congress being controlled by the Republicans (January 1994-January 2007)!

We can not reward the Republicans whom have NEARLY bankrupted our country, with another 4 years!

**************GO VOTE*******REJECT THE VILE POLITICS OF THE GOP***********************************************************************

Clothes...
Michelle Obama seems to have some expensive tasts these days...along with her expensive wardrobe, she seems to like dining every night on Lobster, Caviar and Champagne. You have too know to that her outfits are tailored to best suit her body shape and that has to cost.
Hillary also likes spending money on her image by dropping $7-8,000 for tailored outfits and she has dozens and dozens of them and Bill as well likes dressing in expensive suits.
So Palin and her entire family are given a credit card to purchase clothes to replace clothes they would require for the numerous trips and speeches and if you divide the reported sum of $150k by maybe 8 people, you come up with $18k per person, which if you compare to Michelle, Barack, and Bill and Hillary, is a drop in the bucket.
It's less money folks...

Even with the lights off, Palin is too scary for words. Still at least then she could go without the expensive make up. Perhaps Mccain could use it to look less angry.

Palin is an opportunist...she'll clearly do and say anything to grasp power. Our military is following orders and carrying out a mission that needs direction and an exit strategy..unfortunately, McCain-Palin don't have such a strategy, they just talk about victory – What does that mean?? More lives lost? $10billion a month in Iraq while we are in economic peril here? The war is all they have to talk about...so they dont have an incentive to end....That's sad.

McCain-Palin are out of ideas, lies, and out of time.

has anyone mentioned that "track" palin is only in the army because he got in some trouble and was given a choice between the army and prison? the palins play quite the patriot card with their son, to bad he is just a ne'r do well. best of luck to him and our men overseas, and may they return safely

And the radio makes three! First, the movie "W" bombs, which the Dems were hoping would further anger the electorate. Then, Obama spends a lot of money on a 30-minute ad at the beginning of a World Series with the lowest ratings in years. Now, Obama's radio interview from 2001 has been revealed, which may further confirm the "socialist" view the 'Pubs have been pushing. Palin was right! Look for one of two more "hits" over the next few days. Obama will have to spend this week defending himself – something he hasn't done in months! Look at the polls! Obama's lead peaked last week and is starting to drop.

I really feel bad for you angry liberals. You walk around in life hating people for thinking differently than you. How sad that you let conservatives like me have so much sway over your emotions that you have to cal people like me horrible names. I'm smiling because I am responsible for myself and will not cede that responsibility to government.

I am not some rich guy, though I believe most rich guys are good people and create jobs. I am Joe the plumber who aspires to more, not through government, but through my own efforts

ASK Palin her view of the draft! And while you're at it, ask McCain, too!
They fully support a draft.
Hold your sons and daughters close – they'll be drafted if McCain is elected.

We loose our young men and women, our children and then they take it as a photo op! Why doesn't Palin instead work on releasing her secretive medical records?

he wouldnt be dead if not for the illegal mcbush war on iraq! what a waste of american lives.

I wonder if she told this young lady how she intends to win the war in Iraq?

What is the matter with you people. Photo opt, NO WAY! Sarah Palin is probably the only true blue honest and sincere politician EVER. She is there for YOU, unlike the other's that are there for THEMSELVES!!! I am so glad that Sarah is speaking for herself now. Her and McCain have had the worse advisers imaginable, I don't understand why they didn't get rid of them some time ago. They are the one's that are loosing this election for McCain and Palin, no one else. I'm so glad she's getting her own message across now. Good for her!!! I see all these negative statements from you people that obviously don't look for the fact's but just what you've heard somewhere along the line. You can't even get the children's name right! This is what's wrong with the American Public. We believe what we hear and unfortunately most of us can't think for ourselves and repeat other's like parrots! There are so many lies within our politics and government it has ruined our lives. I hope we are lucky enough to get a Sarah Palin instead of the same old crap we've seen in the last 100 years or so. Wake up america, or we're doomed!

Has Sarah Palin's health record been revealed. By appearances, I wonder if she has "Marfan's Syndrome"? Would be important public information if so. It doesn't have the best prognosis
Carol

Sarah, No one needs a $150,000 wardrobe to campaign for VP or for POTUS. How stupid do you think the public is? That is excessive by anyone's standards. You only now disown the clothes as yours because you got caught! If no one found out about the clothes and makeup, you would have never given anything back or to charity. Buying this much clothing to give away to charity a month later is beyond stupid.

i don't care how long it take to cast my vote. i will get out there and vote. i don't want to see one day Palin to be VP of this country. Her view is so one-sided and so conservative. i can not afford it. whever she open her mouth and say something, she make me feel nervous.

$10,000 a WEEK for a hair styling consultant???

$11,000 a WEEK for a make-up consultant????

Where do my kids go to find jobs like these???

And what an ABSOLUTE JOKE, that Palin is "just like us working folk".

As the parent of a Marine headed to Falujah, I throw my full support behind Barack Obama. I do not believe that Palin has any idea how to step in as Commander in Chief were McCain to die in office. The odds are high that McCain won't live through the first four years, and we all know how that office ages much younger men than he. Palin might empathize as a parent, but she is clueless beyond that. I do not want her, her poor judgment, her unintelligent and uninformed international inexperience, her lack of policy positions, or her mindless, ignorant babble anywhere near my Marine or our military commanders. To put her in charge of our military, is an outrageous and completely irresponsible act. What are Republicans thinking???

Obama/Biden 2008

A second McCain source says she appears to be looking out for herself more than the McCain campaign.

"She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone," said this McCain adviser. "She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else.

"Also, she is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party. Remember: Divas trust only unto themselves, as they see themselves as the beginning and end of all wisdom."

This scares the hell out of me.

It gives you a lot to think about. He was a 21 year old man, a husaband...but he was someone's little boy and baby as well.

Palin – "They've overlooked though the minor detail of earning your confidence and your trust and winning your votes," she said.

Wrong, he's already done all three sweetheart!

What a convenient photo op. I'm sure she was thrilled to learn she could use her son's military status to her advantage once again.

I see Democrats have more hatred in this election than repubs. Some of the comments are so resentful it hurts to even read. Come on people, whoever is in government that should not create hate among citizens. If the election creates hate then lets not have election. I see so much bitterness here that makes me think is it worth it.

Why is CNN not headlining palin's fixed bids on the
Alaskan pipeline??
Why is all we see from CNN all positive for Palin.
Why is the Anchorage newspaper supporting Obama
getting more play?
Why CNN?????

While most americans support our troops we do not support the party that put us there or the lies we were told to support the war in Iraq.But we do support the war in afganastan where the real enimies of America are hiding.

would someone please get the stupid woman off the national stage. i am sick to death of her insipid whining.

It is sooooo obvious to everyone that she has the intelligence of a gnat.

For all the idiots who are falling for this "socialism" crap..

Obama's plan is to redistribute the DEBT burden, not wealth. Money is not going to anyone, it goes to paying off the national debt created by Bush!

McCain's plan gives a tax break to those who created this economic disaster!

WAKE UP!

Apparently Palin/McCain believe that it's perfectly acceptable to let the helpless suffer the deprivation of homelessness, hunger, and pain so the ten percent who own everything and control everything may enjoy their luxury homes, jets, yachts, and lavish lifestyles. America belongs to the people, not the privleged.

I got a question....Why will this people not visit Karie Eggleston at home and express their sympathy....this is outrageous to make politics out of our heroes...If Palin and Todd are really concerned they shouldnt have brought Karie Eggleston and her family to meet them in front of cameras and at the tamac its sad how this people are using everybody for political gain....It sad that we see this...really sad....I hope Sen Obama end this Iraq War soon and will avenge 911 on the original people that attacked us.

Why arent her kids in school?

Nice try to change the topic . McCain always says she is the maverick , and a reformer, She kills spending. So why didn't she say no to all those expensive clothing. After all she is a role model . .....

God bless that solders family.... and the solders soul.... we love our solders. If as Americans we wnat to bring these young people home we have to do the right thing and vote for Obama and Biden 2008! for the sake of our men and women in uniform!

interesting the way you find faults with Palin and not your own candidate. Who do you think pays for Obama trips around the country. WHo paid for his trip to see his ailing Grandmother(by the way he was there less that one day, how heartwarming) People get over it, Vote for the candidate on there issues and not because he's black or what she wears. Obama's wife wears custom made clothes, plus earns 175,000 a year and who what do you think of obama spending 2 million on his victory stage? why doesn't he spread that money around

Palin knows they are going to lose; what she is doing now is preparing for her run in 2012. ...but she will have to get up early in the morning to shoot the Obama/ Dem moose.

Can the GOP say we have created a monster name "DIVA Palin"

In case you all missed it in the VP debate, she never said she would follow McCain's agenda.

Divided the GOP fall!

The once-grand old party has been reduced to a pathetic little ragtag band of the paranoid, religeous zealots, racists, greedheads and war mongers. The GOP has no plan for America. Their hatred of government has gotten us into the mess we are in now. To think they will get us out of it is folly. They don't deserve the chance.

Mrs Eggleston, my heart so goes out to you (May the Lord be with you)
I will be so glad when this war is over ,so many are dying needlessly and maimed for life. Gov Palin, i wish your son and all of the soldiers deployed a safe return. But i will be so glad when this election is over so that you can get on back to Alaska

How could anyone vote for this idiot. She is nothing more than a prima donna trying to capture votes with her so-called looks. No matter what she says, it comes out unbelievable. Anyone who would buy their little daughter a $4,000 purse surely is an idiot.

To all commenting about Palin's clothes, what does One of Obama,s suits cost? If I was to take a stab I would say about $1500- 2000. The man has probably been seen in 60 different suits, you do the math.

todd palin and johnmccain have one thing in common they both live off there wifes incomes

"redistribute the wealth" People, any system of taxation redistributes the wealth! And there is McCain video out there of him saying the exact same thing in 2000-that he believes rich people can afford to pay more taxes! So please drop the socialism argument. It doesn't have legs because we are already a socialistic democracy...it works!
I am sorry for the woman's loss, but I am also sorry for the families of ALL who have died due to our senseless invasion of Iraq, on all sides...Bush is to blame for all their deaths, and should be prosecuted for war crimes. If Pelosi were not in the Gang of 5 that approved torture, he would have been impeached by now!
Palin's son enlisted because he dropped out of high school and it was either the army or the oil fields for him. This is an illegal war, and if more people would keep their children OUT of the military, we'd have to get out. And if Bush can't agree to a withdrawal plan with Iraq, we are illegally there after Dec. 31 anyway, with no standing to do anything.

God bless the Egglestons...

It would be nice to hear about ALL of the candidates encounters with the families of fallen or injured vets.

Don't you think that reaching out to others from an airport tarmac demonstrates a rather short reach? But then I forgot that Gov. Palin's views and answers on today's most pressing issues is a bit of a reach for her too.

Many Iraqis died in this illegal and immoral war, people who NEVER harmed us.
15 Saudis and zero Iraqis were responsible for 9/11.
How many Iraqi families will forever mourn the tragic death of their beloved???

Palin's foto op was trash. She is wrong about EVERYTHING.

If Obama wins you can blame Rev. Wright who said, "God -n America!"

Excerpt from the Anchorage Daily News:

Gov. Palin's nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency - but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. The election, after all is said and done, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Sen. John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation.

Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand. The same cannot be said of Sen. McCain

This is about the only thing she's done since coming on the national stage that's anywhere close to her job description. I'm sure she's a nice lady........but, when it comes to governing, she's an extremist kook with some definite tendencies to run into ethical and other legal problems.

We pray for all our sons/daughter, husbands/wives. brothers/sisters serving in wars with no clear purpose and no clear possibility of winning. We pray for their families who also serve – at home caring for children, paying the bills, wondering if they will see beloved faces again. God bless them all.

My heart goe's out to the fallen soldiers family.
As for Palin, the Alaska newspaper said it best, she is not ready to lead this country that is the reason they endorsed Obama for President..

Obama/Biden 08

Great for any American elected or otherwise to give honor to our brave sons and daughters in uniform. PFC Eggleston, Thank-you for your service and answering the ultimate call to duty. God Bless the Eggleston family and GOD Bless the USA!

Victoria – you are so right. And there is no victory in Iraq and for them to say that shows how evil the rethuglicans are for wanting to continue this war based on lies so their rich corporate buddies can get richer. It is disgusting.

Our children are being injured and killed in a war that should not have begun. John McCain will keep us in war. If not Iraq, Afgan....., Russia, Georgia and list goes on. Republican believe in war. Wake up people.

If I never see this clueless pathological liar again, it will be too soon!

The thought of Palin as making decisions with respect to domestic and international policy scares the living crap out of me.

Palin is a fraud.

hokey moms dont wear designer clothes. stop with the lies and pretentiousness and go back to alaska !

How come she always takes the little boy Track with her? I think because now the Republicans are not only paying for her families clothing they are also payng for her traveling exp., they are paying for baby sitting you just wait and see. I cannot understand how you Americans people let them away with this. Talk about skamming the people, you Payln are the biggest skam artist going.

Go Obama cannot wait to watch you on tv going through the ehite house door.

Get rid of that Palin woman and her dude and ship them back to Alaska for good! The two of them are sickening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously,

My condolences to this family and I thank their son-in-law/husband for his service. This just seems like a photo op for Palin and all everyone talks about with this war is "winning" and "losing." 4,000+ people have already lost for this controversial cause with no end in sight.

Gov.Palin said the War in Iraq is from God so why do she bother to worry about the fallen heroes families and the sons,daughters,husbands and wives that have been deployed.To her that is God wish so why is she going against God wish if she is such a christian she claimes she is.Now you are using them for political gain.Please,leave them alone .!They have suffered enough from you politicians.Palin is such phony beyond the acceptable point.This woman should be ashamed for calling herself a devout christian.May God continue to bless USA and free us from the people like Palin and the liers.

There are almost 5,000 more families that she can spend her time comforting when she loses the election.

Half my heart is deployed, and neither of us support you, McCain, or your book of lies.

Stop politicizing your blue star status and retreat back to the wilderness where you belong.

To the posters that state that Joe Biden dodged "the tough questions" where do you get your koolaid, it seems to be very strong. This was not a legitimate question and was laughed off as the rediculus question it was.

I wonder if the woman cried because Palin spat out the run-on sentence to nowhere.

End this war. We are already free, there are no WMD's, and Sadam is dead, not Osama. Iraquis need to stand on their own two feet...or are we still hoping to get their oil??

Alaska's largest newspaper has endorsed OBAMA!

It is appauling how the Bush administration used our Military for Photo Ops & we see how it is business as usual with Palin.
We see thru you, Let him rest in peace.
His war is over you need to leave them alone to grieve & not use them.

To the Family: We apoligize for Them that know no better.
Thank you for your loved ones service.

He & you gave all.
May God Bless & Comfort you.

Demobrat the hack can move to Alaska where they have the Palin Participation Program: tax the oil companies and hand out to the citizens of Alaska....to quote the great philosopher turned wannabe politician Sammy Jo the Fake Plumber: sounds like socialism to me.

McCain's plan on buying up bad mortgages: sounds like socialism to me.

Hyprcrite or ignorant? Most likely both for you, "my friend"

There are lots of soldiers still in Iraq and have been there for months and months.....I don't know why Sarah Palin fans seem to think she is the only one who has a child there!!!!
We all know by now that Sarah Palin does not have a single thought in her head that hasn't been written down and rehearsed before she speaks.....she does not even look genuine!!!!
The whole McCain campaign has been a disgrace and they should both be ashamed of themselves.
Roll on Nov so we can see the back of both of them, can't come quick enough for me.

I think its good of Palin to acknowledge our military who have risked their lives for our country...they deserve our support wholeheartedly!! However, I do believe this is another tactic/strategy the Republicans are using...they have tried everything from mudslinging Obama to "Joe the Plumber". They have lost all crredibility and still pulling for straws. Palin is not VP material and McCain knows, at this point, Palin was a poor judgement call!

Public display, no thanks. I don't care if the press was at bay. They shouldn't have been there in the first place if Palin really was sincere. She is a diva and you can tell each and every time she gets in front of a crowd. It is all about Sarah, nothing to do with the party.

I hope the fallen soldier mother realize Bush got us in this mess and Palin/McCain would be just like Bush adminstration.

Say no to Palin/McCain I heard Palin is trying to take over McCain campaign so she can run 2012 Palin is out to get McCain

PALIN TALKING TO THE WIVES OF FALLEN SOLDIER DOES NOT MAKE UP FOR THE FACT THAT THE REASON THEIR HUSBANDS WERE IN IRAQ IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS BECAUSE OF BUSH AND MCCAIN'S SUPPORT TO GO TO WAR. IF MCCAIN IS ELECTED THEIR WILL BE MORE FAMILIES WHO WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE THEIR LOVE ONES.

Why do people actually believe that this woman cares? The only person she's out for is herself! She proved that when she said "She would like to add more duties to Vice-President's job" SHE IS DANGEROUS! IF THEY WIN GOD HELP US ALL!

Honor the these fallen heroes who died in vain. A war that we should not have engaged. I feel so sorry for these heroes and their families.
I also feel the pain of the the Americans who should have been benefactors of the billions of monies that's going down the drain because of this war. Bush and Mccain has the blood in their
hands and guilt that will forever haunt them..

It is shocking that the republicans and the administration hide the coffins of the fallen troops to make sure the public doesn't get disheartened with the unwarranted war. As soon as a campaign needs a boost, let the exploitation begin.

I feel your pain but no GI bill

I support the troops but still send them to combat without proper armor or a plan

With friends and leaders like this who needs enemys

It is more patriotic to question the mistakes of the government in order to fix it than to agree with every mistake it makes.

Americans from all walks of life and political persausions have sons & daughters in the service and serving in dangerous parts of the world – we all have a say in what is right and wrong for this country and our children & grandchildren. Yes we lost Vietnam, another upopular war, but guess what? years later we are dealing with them! funny how time and civilization changes so many things – there are more ways than taking a hammer to someone to change their ways! Lay down your swords and pick up the pen – for the pen is mightier than the sword. People are people and suffer everywhere. OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

dEMOBRAT;

Wishful thinking this is CNN/Pravda you are talking about. They'll never bring out the truth about Obama, they'll only supress the audio of Obama discussing his strategy to redistribute the wealth in this country.

She has to talk to people at the airport because no one from around here will. Palin is not welcome in NC!! Hundreds protested!! What was she thinking to try to make another appearence here?

I VOTED EARLY SATURDAY!

Hey dEMOBRAT, speaking of socialism... can you please take your kids out of public schools, not use the sanitation dept, firemen, police, ... these are all funded by tax payers money. I know you got brainwashed by McFailin, but c'mon use some common sense here...

I guess this is what the ANCHORAGE ALASKA newspaper was
speaking of when they endorsed Senator Obama because Palin is
too risky to be a step away from the Presidency.

OMG, lets get out the Kleenex... What a Kodak moment!!!! Please, very nice that she cares now about the military because her son is being deployed. Remember a while ago when she was asked about the surge and she said she was not quite following the story? Really??? At that time of course it was not important. Biden has a son that was sent off to Iraq too, and he does not use that story every day. By the way, how come your other kids are not in school???

I like to see more of the idiocies of Palin

Just wondering why Sarah Palin's goof up has not been talked about more. She states she is for special needs children, however, the "fruit fly" thing ; she put her foot in her mouth.. Fruit flies helped with the study for children with autism.

I'm a little confused about why we're still in Iraq. I thought we had "MIssion Accomplished" five years ago.

Oh please all the lefty haters are out in full force today insulting Gov. Palin. What was really insulting is Obama not remembering the name of the Officer's braclet he was wearing during the debate. Talk about a half wit. Pravda, I mean CNN you better post this.

Once again a politician uses a fallen soldier and shows sympathy with his widow at election time for self interest.

Will you guys please leave them alone?

CORRECT ME IF I"M WRONG- Palin has said she wants to start a special program for special needs kids, McCain has even said he wants to start up other new special programs.

QUESTION- Didnt McCain say that he wanted to freeze government spending across the board. With that said how on earth are they gonna start anything new.

I pray that on Nov. 4th America sends this unethical, power abusing eskimo barbie back to Alaska with her $150,000 wardrobe. Get out and Barack the vote America!!

Obama/Biden '08

dEMORRAT–Most give some–he gave all–the war has ended for him–may he rest in peace.

Sarah, don't insult the honor of this family's son by pretending that you
have the qualifications to be commander in chief of the country their
son died to protect.

FRAUD.

Palin: Most politicians are phony, but you are the phoniest I have ever seen in my 63 years.

I wonder if Sarah Palin still believes that the war in Iraq is still "God's war?"

You politicians voted to send this young man to a meaningless war. A simple hug won't do!

NOW CAN WE GET BACK TO OBAMA'S ADMITTED SOCIALIST AGENDA ??????

BREAK THE AUDIO CNN........

That had to be very hard for her with her son in Iraq. I'm glad she took the time. I was beginning to think she didn't care about anyone but herself.

OK, I AM TIRED OF SARAH. CAN WE SEND HER BACK to ALASKA

I can see the Republican party trying to play this one up. It is amazing that if the Democrats attempt to talk to a family member of the military they are accused of being insensitive but when the Republicans do it they are being patriotic. This story should not be published as national news because if you are going to do that with obviously the permission of the McCain campaign then you must also publish the family members that Senator Obama and Biden encounter on a regular basis.

Looks like the brave soldiers and their families will be used for political gains once again. Leave them alone – support them with better healthcare and financial security. Give all kids of soldiers free education. Help families with excellent healthcare. Give every opportunity for disabled vets to get back to independence and good life. Can you Palin fight for that rather than looking for photo-op wearing $10K outfit? It sickens me to see how policians will do anything to get that additional vote.

Such a phony.
She talked about John Mc Cain winning wars? well, sad news he
was in Nam, we got our butt's handed to us, WE LOST
Thank God, ust a week tomorrow, we'll get rid of her and John.
Maybe she'ss even spend a little time in an Alaskan jail, for
BREAKING THE LAW.

. . . Look at her eyes. Its like she's possesed or in a trance. She
is not qualified to be President of the United States, which is the main
job of the Vice President. She knows it. John McCain knows it. It is
the responsibility of voters to realize this fact, and vote with their brain.
The republicans have made a mess of the country for the last eight
years, let's not let them continue with the help of a totally unqualified
person. It's time to clean house. NOW.

Obama will get our troops out, stop this loss of young American boys for a war that never should have been authorized, and never should have been fought!

Nice gesture Palin, I hope you and your husband gave her some words of encouragement.

Alright LIBS, let's hear the negative trash in 3, 2, 1.....

Leave the woman alone, Palin! You are using this widow to manipulate voters and we all know it! Palin is a colossal narcissist! Shameful.

End this war now.

Your fifteen min.is almost up Sarah,go back to your country,Alaska.

Palin will offer words of condolence but she won't actually do anything to keep other soldiers safe.

She and Sen. McCain are so hung up on opposing Obama on Iraq that they can't give a concrete terms under which U.S. troops could leave Iraq. They hide behind vague talk of "victory," but there is no military objective for our side to achieve before we leave. There's nothing left to be done but to make the Iraqis stand up for themselves.

They would rather sacrifice more U.S. troops than admit that it's time for us to leave.

Seriously, why is Todd going to be there? What office is he running for?

Not news.

sarah palin, willing to exploit dead soldiers for her political gain.

Anchorage (Alaska) Daily News endorses OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take your clothes, whiny spouse and kids, and headon back to AK. Don't you have some free-living mammal to kill? Think about the metaphor. Think about what you did to rape victims in Wasilla. Did you hejp ANYone? SHOVE IT, McFAILIN, GET OUTTA TOWN WITH McSAME.I WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE WHEN YOU LOSE NEXT WEEK.

Well, she's finally had her first human moment. Let's all celebrate.
Whoop-de-frickin'-doo!

You go girl.. You precisely know how much it matters to have someone in our Armed Forces..
Thanks a bunch for your consideration. .
Country and countrymen first ...always..
We can never go wrong with the two of you John and Sarah..

McCain/Palin

We all support our soldiers and their families, Michelle Obama has been spending time with military families for a long time.

It si a sad story, but why was hubby there....who was wathcing the kids and the bab y she drags along on all her trips.

It is so sad thta so many of amercias Brave Military had to pay the highest price for a WAR that SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. SHAME ON McCain. He was pusing for the Iraq war even before Bush.

Palins "Tour of Lies" comtinues. I want to make a point on the McCain camp theme of socialism.In 2000 MCain on Hardball said when asked about taxes, "wealthy people can afford more" amd "when you reach a certain level of comfort, there is nothing wrong with paying more taxes". Then of course the is Sarah Palin the Govenor from a state that pays no income tax or sales tax. Palin spread the wealth like no other last year by giving Each person including her self and family $3,269.00. Now that is what I call socialism !

Anyone who underestimates this woman sure isn't very smart. This woman is on the fast track to lofty goals. It's about time she shows her true self, not the handlers. I am appalled by the name calling from the the downright smears, sexism and rudeness given to this woman.

The You people should be ashamed..

Off topic, Biden what an idiot.. He finally got asked some hardball questions and became rude. So that is what it would have been like had not most of the media been in the bag for OBAMA???? Get a life Joe. You are an ignorant fool. Good thing the VP doesn't do much. Keep your mouth shut.

I hope she was wearing part of the $150,000.00 wardrobe. She hte wife of the soldier can see what is really important to Palin.

To be fair it is not the wardrobe that is the issue Hillery had expensive wardrobe too. But It is who paied for it.

Hillery paied for her own wardrobe. Palin got hers from the RNC. Please do not try to say she had nothing to do with it. No woman gets a wardrobe without trying it on. so she had to be present when it was bought or at least for the fitting sessions.

If Palin is so agains tthe wardrobe why is she still wearing th items?

Remove Bush and the Republican Party from the equation and it becomes a clear choice. McCain vs Obama. Two men facing off against each other. And when it comes down to it, isn't that really the way it should be?

The Anchorage Daily News has endorsed Obama.....they say Palin is too "RISKY"!!! Now what does that say about Palin if her own paper in the state where she is the governor!!!!! WOW this is huge blow!!!

Obama/Biden

Who cares. ZZzzzz!

Although i support Sen. B. Obama i have the uttmost respect for Gov. Palin for her stances in regard to Christian values and morality. McCain threw her into the fire as a prop before she was ready. Although i do not believe she would be prepared if she had to step into the presidency, i believe she has a bright future in helping America.

i would rather have seen Palin on Meet the Press Sunday..when is that EVER going to happen???

Why do the GOP supporters and their leaders act as though they are the only people who send loved ones off to war? It's absolutely ridiculous. Telling someone you honor them for their sacrifice doesn't pay the bills, doesn't comfort an anguished child who has just lost a parent, or a spouse who has just lost his or her spouse. I'm sick of it. My brother in law is about to go on his FOURTH tour of duty, and guess what? He's voting for Obama.

The fact that Sarah Palin hugged somebody, even the family of a soldier, is not news. She's a lightweight, and an insult to all of us- she's been insulting more than half the country since the minute she was nominated. I look forward to her crushing defeat and exit from the national stage.

How is this news?

The heartbreak of this war now wears a face for Gov. Palin who had said earlier, before her son was deployed, that she didn't keep up with the Iraq war due to her job as governor. Certainly, her tune has changed now. This war has worn a face for over 5 years for many Americans and the effects on the families, lives, and the country's resources have been tremendous.

It is this Republican President that sexed up the intelligence to get us into this ghastly war that won't end. We have to make the right choice on Nov. 4th to try to get us out of this ditch that is helping to smother our economy.

VOTE DEMOCRATIC ON NOV. 4TH!

When it comes down to a fallen soldier, we all can agree that party affiliation is unimportant. We all greive whether republican, democrat or independent.

Nothing to say; this supercedes politics.

and can you say SUCK UP ?

Palin is disgusting

SEVEN VP's have had to step into the role of the Presidency.
Thats a one in seven chance that Palin would be the leader of the free world.

Are you willing to take that chance?

Wow, she met with her for a whole "several minutes" outside on the tarmac! What empathy she has.

They couldn't plan a more comfortable and private location, so the Mrs. Palin could show her soft side, comfort the grieving widow, and maybe ask a few questions about her son?!

we have lost over 4,000 of our young men and women in a war that should never have happened, OBAMA WILL BRING OUR TROOPS HOME, GOD BLESS ALL OUR TROOPS AND THEIR FAMILIES. VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

Great Story. In the end we are ALL Americans! Our young men and women are loosing their lives andwe must all share in the grief their families experience.

I will be praying for Tig and all other military personnel.

Obama '08

Obama supporters are the most simple-minded lemmings who live to prey on Sarah Palin for being a strong Conservative woman who did nto need her husband to move up in the political ranks, unlike Hillary Clinton.

Why must everything be political. If she was sincere, she would not have alerted the press.

I feel terrible for the Eggleston family family. They lost a son and husband. But I wonder about Palin's motives. She won't talk to reporters unless they fawn over her and ask easy questions, but she'll take any photo-op she can get.

As a mother of a son in the military, Sarah is in the unique position to understand and empathize with this lady. I'm sure she brought her some comfort.

The warddrobe issue is more than valid because it shows that the GOP can easily throw away money, when there were cheaper alternatives. What is more blatant than a shopping spree for designer clothes?

If Palin was such a Maverick who was concerned about spending, surely she could have refused the clothing or even gone for quality but cheaper clothes. But no, in the minds of Palin and McCain's camp, it's ok for people to go without jobs and food on the table if it means Palin gets a shopping spree.

We're in crisis, everyone's broke and Palin goes shopping. AND THEN slams liberals over spending.

I would hope to God she showed a little more empathy to this family than she did to Joe Biden when he momentarily lost it during the vp debate, when she continued on without any indication of human emotion whatsoever. It was a telling moment for me.

I think Palin lost too much time attacking and being the divisive politician to get some sympathy now. She has shown herself to be a competitive politician and an attack dog. Sure there is another side to her, but I think she has lost the attention that was given to her and the limelight is fading. She is just another politician, power driven and cares less how she gets there. Say anything, do anything!

My family all voted early – all for Obama and Dems.

Go Obama! Just 8 days left to go! Everybody go Vote! Vote Early!

This woman is the best thing to happen to America in years. When the cruel,smear-merchant MSM, along with CNN gets off her case, which they will, after this sickening election promoting socialism, we will see much more of her.I can't believe, even Obama, can get away with his socialist policies forever in America, the greatest country in the world.

This meeting is the result of a failed foreign policy that Palin's running mate supported. One of many tiems McCain sided with Batman and Robin. Sad but true.
Moreover, If the two of them are somehow elected in November, I suspect it will the first of many more such mournful meetings.
Vote red and more blood will flow.
Vote blue and the world be a saner, safer place for sure.
(An interested observer.)

Another Fallen Hero in an unneeded occupation on a Country that has asked us to go home. My Prayers are with the family in the loss of their loved one and our hero. May God protect our Troops and may they please come home very soon.

Funny how a couple of traitors that want Alaska to seperate from the Union goes and talks to fallen brave young men and women's spouses who want nothing more than to preserve our country. Those two don't have the right to stand on the same ground as a veterans spouse, much less a fallen veterans spouse.

I wonder if she told that wife all about the wonderful program the AIP has.

she needs to meet with a speech therapist.

..........And you can bet Track is nowhere near any live action, either.

Bring our soldiers back safe and and bring them back soon!

This is what I don't understand about people who support they war. They say, "Oh, how tragic, how sad that so many of our husbands and wives and children have died," but yet they vote to continue the war. Their goal is victory? Victory? Somebody please explain to me what "victory" is in Iraq, because as far as I'm concerned, the only thing that will be victorious about this sickening war will be the end of it. I think more Americans want their loved ones home safe than to claim "victory" over the people we're fighting, and if I'm wrong about that, then I'm sad to admit what a screwed up world I live in.

Why is Todd Palin even at these events? He is the Tom Arnold of politics (except that Arnold actually had a small semblance of talent).

This will be something that weighs on Gov. Palin's mind since she has a son in Iraq.

Gov. Palin, Senator McCain, and Senator Biden all have a vested interest in in the Iraqi war, since each of them have a son serving over there, while Obama has no one serving.

I feel that if you have a vested interest in something, that you will take better care of it. Are you an owner or just a renter? Obama is just a renter.

Palin doesn't care about anyone but herself.

First it was Cindy exploiting the service of her son, then the half-wit exploiting her son now she is unabashedly exploiting the memory of young Eggleston.

Of course, I am not suprised at what's her name's blatant pandering as evidenced by the exploitation of her own 6 month old by dragging him from campaign stop to campaign stop as though he were a stage prop for special needs children.

Sadly,if THE TOTALLY UNNCESSARY WAR that Bush and Cheney waged (with John McCain's full approval) hadn't have happened in the first place, this meeting would never have been necessary either.
If Palin is elected i fear more wasteful wars will be waged, given her ridiculously childish outlook on the world nad McCain's outdated Cold War mindset.

McCain you should have gone to the Center, and picked Ridge, don't see much of a chance now, JUST KEEP AND EYE ON OBAMA AND THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS, THAT WILL BE YOUR JOB.

2012

Palin and her redneck husband will ensure that more fallen soldiers continue to happen as they would advance their quest for their Christian agenda to start the rapture.

palin prolly thinking "kill, baby, kill

There will be a lot more soldiers' mothers to comfort if the hawkish McCain and Palin are elected!

GO HOME MOOOOSE LADY YOU MAKE ME SICK

last minute futile attempts of Palin to win the voters. it won't work Ms. Palin.. They have seen through you and your empty head.

That is a nice gesture, Gov. Palin; but what about the others that were killed in an unpopular war, just like the Vietnam Conflict. No matter what he should have never died if he was not there.

Remember the immortal words of the late John Lennon..."Give Peace a Chance." he sung that back in the time of Vietnam another war that we should not have been in.

My thoughts are on our military, but remember that and that they need to come home...safe and soul...

We do need change, vote for Obama/Biden08/12

This should have been kept private, not public.

This election process has been hard on Palin. The media and pundits, as well as the Democratic party have tried hard to show her as a complete idiot. She has more experience and substance than Obama. She can relate to having a son in Iraq. As Guvnor she is responsible for the Alaskan National Guard. Obama when to Iraq the last time for his own benefit, not for the soldiers. He has down played the importance of winning in Iraq.

My heart goes out to Mrs. Eggleston for her loss, and to all of us for the loss of another US soldier.

Whatever you may feel about the candidates, I hope this recognition of her husband's sacrifice gives her a little comfort.

Speaking about the clothing–of course they are not hers. She doesn't want to have to pay taxes on the gifts she has received. Just like we have never been told whether she reported her per diem as income and paid taxes on it, or reported the gift of travel for her children from the state of Alaska and paid taxes on that gift.

Is visiting a wounded soldier make you more presidential?? No! She shouldn't be visiting him in the first place because this war was ILLEGAL.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

My deepest sympathy to the Eggleston family. These men are our true heroes. Using these suffering families as photo-ops surrounded by press is deplorable. Let them mourn in private. Death in the military is not meant to be used by either candidate as a national photo-op. These soldiers are patriots to the max. The candidates take it to a much lower level when followed around by their press just looking for that exploitive photo. Palin you are sickening.

Palin bought $75,000 worth of clothes in Minneapolis at the Neiman-Marcus store. A local reporter from the Star Tribune went shopping to see what it took to get to that amount. Very interesting!

No Palin in 2012 or ever!!!!!

Sarah Palin is going to be the best Vice President we have had in a long time.

We should all pray for the families of the fallen soldiers. I guess the McPalins will stop at NOTHING to try and create "good" press. If they are genuinely concerned, they would ensure that this story would never reach the papers! The same way they don't let them publicize the return of the bodies. Desparate GOP!

I am proud of the good hard working Americans laying down their tools and joining the military to serve our great country.

It is a call to duty that has been heard over and over since 1620 when Jamestown was founded. Americans have always answered the call and will continue that great tradition.

I am sorry that PFC Eggleston was killed in Iraq, but I am proud that Palin took time out of her busy schedule to met with Cody's widow.

PHOTO OPT, FOR PALIN, NOTHING MORE....

Be respectful... I bet most of you bloggers di not have a son in Iraq like Gov. Palin

That's nice.....now can we get back to how Palin is an unethical, incompentent, fraudulent person who can't even speak the simplest proper English.
