Reader Comments

I was wondering WHY they aren't in school also. Even if they are home schooled they are paraded around on the campaign trail too much. If you ask me it's just a publicity thing.Most politicians do not want their kids in the for front that often.

Tonights Debate

Expand the OBama tie to Marxist/Socialist Bill Ayres and ties to Radical/ Socialist Pastor Wright and Radical/Socialist Fr. Flager to Barry's Socialistic plan for our Economic future.... "SHARE THE WEALTH" a very Marxist and Socialistic Philosophy. Biden's statement that the wealthy should be willing to pay more to "EQUALIZE" our financial being. All these thoughts are against our reason for being and the reason for our sucess as a free and Independent Society, still and will always be the envy of not just the free world, but all Nations.

Trig Palin

I just hope someone is doing right by Trig. His early development is crucial to help him have the best possible life. He needs structure, consistency, physical therapy, intellectual stimulation and language and attention. The Palins haven't been a parent of a special needs child for very long, certainly not long enough to know what he really needs. Sarah Palin is young and could have had it all at the national level a little later, but right now it is probably at the expense of her youngest child. I guess I hoped it was Bristol's child and the Palins were nobly trying to protect her.

Palin's children's scholing

I'm amazed that she and her husband are bringing their entire family with them when some of their children are of school age. To me it sets a bad example that the children are always with her and that one of the kids is always holding the infant son.

Her family has resources to hire tutors and or nannies. Having taught children for 32 years, it seems to me that it is not fair to her children to be put in this situation.

Mexico

So I guess she can add Mexico to her foreign policy experience..cause I hear Arizona boarders Mexico...I'm just sayin..

Why is McCain's estate called a "ranch"??

The pictures don't show any cattle or sheep? There appears to be room for a horse or two, but I don't see a picture of one.

Is this some kind of new definition of "Ranch" for rich white guys like Bush and now McCain?

I would think that a journalist would use the much more accurate term for a large piece of property owned by a wealthy person to relax on, an "Estate".

Ambiguity

I took a 30 minute hiatus to shower during the debate. Did Palin ever end up actually answering a question? Or was it just a general continuation of ambiguity and nonanswers?

sarah palin

It's funny how quick people are to judge Palin. Ok so she has 5 kids, one with Down Syndrome and a pregnant teenage daughter. But so what? Show me an American family who does NOT have its issues. Now I'm sure she is a descent woman and wife and all that. But is she ready to be Vice President of the US? I don't think so. She is coming across as a straight up fool. But then again, what would you expect from the Republicans?(A.K.A. American haters!!!!) GO OBAMA AND BIDEN.

One more thing, it was Bush and Mccain (both republicans) who said how great the economy was. Do you think they still feel that way? Only a MORON would have said such a thing. God help us all if Mccain gets into office.
