Mothers Of Sons -- C. McCain, Palin Hit Obama For Opposing Troop Funding
BETHLEHEM, PA - Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin went after Barack Obama's lack of military service today, with both women making personal appeals as mothers of sons serving overseas.
"The day that Sen. Obama decided to cast a vote to not fund my son when he was serving sent a cold chill through my body," Cindy McCain said at a joint McCain-Palin rally at Lehigh University. "I would suggest that Sen. Obama change shoes with me for just one day. And see what it means, and see what it means to have a loved one serving in the Armed Forces, and more importantly serving in harm's way."
Palin later suggested Obama did not understand the cost of war.
"And last night, in the debate, we heard again Barack Obama lecturing John McCain on the stakes involved whenever America goes to war," the Republican vice presidential candidate said. "But wait a minute, may I remind Sen. Obama that Sen. McCain served our nation in uniform for 22 years."
She noted that her son is serving overseas and that John McCain understands the cost of war.
"God bless him, he spent five and a half years as a POW, and he knows the cost of war because he paid those costs himself," she said of McCain. "And as a mother of one of those troops, yup, that's exactly the kind of man I want as commander in chief."
In her introduction of McCain, Palin went after Obama and Joe Biden for changing their positions on off-shore oil drilling at Tuesday night's debate.
"What that told me is that he's not willing to drill for energy, but he's sure willing to drill for votes," she said of Obama.
She also said Obama's main strategy was linking McCain to President Bush.
"So last night, Senator McCain talked about real and pragmatic solutions. Barack Obama talked about why he'd rather run against George Bush," she said. "That strategy is starting to wear pretty darn thin."

While watching this rally I was wondering who was the blonde woman behind Senator McCain?
Obama and Biden want to diplome with Mario Chavez of Caraca! No thanks.
As Josh Marshall has pointed out at TPM, using the McCain standard, McCain also voted against funding the troops, since he voted against the legislation that had a timetable. Oops.
The bimbos who supported the decision to send our young kids to die in a fraudulent war are now complaining? Stop wearing $500,000 dresses!
What is Cindy blathering about? John voted against a Iraq funding bill which had timetables. Stop insulting us with hypocrisy.
Cindy, did you ever consider it was Bush who lied and got your son in Iraq. I think your anger is directed at the wrong person.
Support Our Troups = Bring Them Home
Pea-size-brain Sarah Palin is a category 6 moron! A total disgrace to womanhood. She does not deserve too much attention. She is simply to be ignored! Now, Cindy you suffered immensely in the hands of smear campaigners and I expected less lies and hypocrisy from you but your greed and blind ambition to be first lady has pushed you to open your stinking, dopey, shop-lifting, dishonest and drug-addicted mouth. Only fools will allow characters like you and your gambling war monger husband in the white house. Americans know better!Please continue to enjoy your many homes all over the world. Forget the whitehouse. Your blood thirsty, dishonest, tempetous, erratic, very dull and unintelligent husband has been banned from anywhere near the oval office! John Mc Cain/Sarah Palin are totally unqualified. The people have spoken through the poles! No amount of lies and distraction will flip the truth this time.

Sandra Cristantielli, it's a shame that you would have to stoop so low to blast Mae's opinion. She wasn't personally insulting you. She was insulting Cindy McCain. You made a personal attack towards another voter whom you do not have any personal information on and I am sure do not know. In your reply to her, you expressed your true feelings and disdain for others that do not share your belief. This is America, and just like you have the liberty to vote your way; try not to take away Mae's right to vote her way. I find it tiring that people have to demean one another to have their voices heard. This is why America is the way it is... divided... and daresay, bankrupt.

Sandra Christantielli, Its sad that there are people such as yourself who actually believe that Senator Obama is a terrorist and associates with terrorist simply by being associated with him by raising funds for education. Should you be judged by simply the people you are involved with in your daily dealings? How quick we are to judge and label someone simply because we sat in a room with them or we worked on a project with someone. How many times have you sat in a room full of racist people who spewed out hatred. Did you once speak up to object. I doubt it, but should we label you a racist or bigot. Worse based on your comments should we lable you someone who is uneducated simply because you seem to want to believe anything negative you hear instead of looking at issues objectively and making an intelligent comment. Its ok to disagree with one another, and if you dont like Obama because of his stand on politics then thats fine, but when you make your comments and decisions based on trumped up hype, then I have to question you on a number of things to which I will not ask in this particular comment. You're the one who people should feel sorry for.
