Beck thinks Palin Trumpf is a sideshow. He's a Cruz backer.

That bears repeating. If Palin is so concerned about how veterans are regarded and treated by presidents once they return get home, why on earth is she endorsing someone who calls POW's "losers"?

Great question. It makes no sense, does it, especially given the fact that she wouldn't have any of the opportunities and wealth she enjoys today if not for McCain.

I would add another question for those defending her regarding her blaming Obama for her son's actions: If she knew track was suffering from PTSD why did she leave him home with no one to monitor his access to booze and guns? This isn't the first time he's been violent.

McCain has very diplomatically refrained from criticizing the Half-Term Quitter up until now. I'd love to see him break that silence now that she has endorsed a draft dodger who called him a loser for being a POW.

And the attack on 9/11 should have been swept under the rug with no action at all. We are sitting ducks with that thinking.

What did Iraq have to do with 9/11?

The president when I got out was a crook and and a conniving scumbag who resigned to save his butt from a jail cell. And still I did not beat my girlfriend or my wife or my kids. I went to college, got a job, paid my taxes, and raised good kids.

This guy is a wife-beating dirt bag and his mother was a lousy one by any standard. She raised a daughter who is out getting pregnant repeatedly while preaching abstinence and a POS son who beats up women while she makes excuses for both of their sorry tails.
I don't believe at all the president is at fault here but PTSD after combat is real. Some people like you either don't feel it or are able to battle it successfully. Others are not. That doesn't excuse his behavior. His behavior may or may not have nothing to do with PTSD.

Sarah Palin would probably blame President Obama for all bad things.

I have to say, the liberal media has created hatred for the Palin family and it shows here on this forum. Such deep hatred for a family you don't even know.

At least when I post it is about Obama's policies that are destroying our freedoms, our safety and our economy.

Ask Bill Clinton and the democrats.. on their watch they said Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. Talk about what really happened .. the democrats all voted to go in ... then of course back pedaled because they are such manipulating liars.. Bush was not in this alone.

If Saddam had used weapons of mass destruction on NYC and Bush didn't go in , he would have been chastised as well. So keep the big D on your head and just don't dare to look at the truth. You can't own what the democrats did also.

Yeah, I never believed them either.

Do you blame the mentally ill when they do something wrong? PTSD is a mental illness. You cannot blame people who are sick.
