Fox saying it's Palin

[mekender]

Plus, her oldest son is about to go to Iraq as a member of the US Army.

That could be a potential problem for the Army. As the son of a potential VP, he'd be a high profile target for insurgents to capture, and I think we can pretty much count on the media to report where he'll be, and what he looks like.
England had the same problem when prince Harry was supposed to go to Iraq. They had to pull him out, and with much secrecy send him to Afghanistan instead, but once the media found out, they had to pull him out from there too.

McCain has 3 military sons, one was a Marine in Iraq, another flew Navy jets and the third is enrolled at Annapolis.

They just interviewed some douchebag on FOX that was talking about how she was wrong because she isnt pro choice...

But she IS pro-choice. You can either be responsible and use protection (or abstain), or you can have a child. Who says there isn't a choice here????

It is pretty audacious for the Obama campaign to say that Governor Palin is not qualified to be Vice President. She has a record of accomplishment that Senator Obama simply cannot match. Governor Palin has spent her time in office shaking up government in Alaska and actually achieving results -- whether it's taking on corruption, passing ethics reform or stopping wasteful spending and the 'bridge to nowhere.' Senator Obama has spent his time in office running for President.

Complete and utter pwnage!

None of them are in a combat zone now though, right?
I could be wrong here, but there is a difference between having a father that's a senator, and having a parent that is President/VP. A senator isn't Commander in Chief, or next in line to be CiC. And McCain was really popular among the media up till a few months ago, they really had no reason to report about his sons whereabouts.

His Marine son returned from a tour in Iraq in Feb '08 as i recall.

Feb '08 was before McCain had emerged as the nominee, right?

I could be wrong, and I honestly hope I am, because I think Palins son should be able to go with his friends to do the job he signed up for. I guess maybe I'm just a cynic, and I remember the european press reporting where Harry would be, even going so far as to reporting the insurgents views on the matter.

Time change, it was very different when the English army went to the Falklands, and had royalty in their ranks.

think we could get Palin/Byrne?

Hah... with my history? The only thing I could get elected of is president of the freaks club.

Yeah, but the freaks and the geeks all love ya, and there's a TON of us.

The most pressing question... that which we ALL need to know is this: What is Gov. Palin's preferred handgun caliber for grizzlies?
