It's Time To Go After Cindy McCain

So, the GOP finds it acceptable to go after Michelle Obama. McCain has not denounced this latest attack and I think it's only fair to reciprocate.

I'm going to dig up every nasty little bit of info I can on Cindy, and it won't be hard.

Back in the late-80's/early 90's, Cindy was a drug user who stole drugs from her own company and McCain had to end up hiding it by bribing members of the company. The ethics committee was going to investigate McCain's involvement, but they suddenly and quietly let it go. And this is just the tip of the iceburg.

From this illegal behavior, to how Senator McCain came to cheat on his with with Cindy to her rise to the chair of one of the largest distributors for Anheiser-Busch, I'm going to start digging. It won't be pretty and I won't stop until the GOP stops it's attacks on Michelle.

Best of luck with that!

The mean Lizard Woman ... make her go away ... Mommee!! :scared:

I am just as appalled as you are about one of the first attack ads being an assault on Michelle Obama, but going after Cindy McCain isn't going to make the situation any better.

And I don't think that Barack Obama would go for it. He takes the high road.

that Michelle has from the press- YET.

She can't be part of the campaign without having to stand up to the scrutiny and answer for her 'fitness' as 'first spouse' just like every other candidate.

Barack does take the high road. So for the most part does his campaign. That doesn't mean the press should treat his opposition any different does it?

Cindy McCain can't pick and choose how much exposure she faces- at least she shouldn't be able to.

Especially when she has the nerve to say:
"I am proud of my country. I don’t know about you? If you heard those words earlier, I am very proud of my country,”

"“I always have been and will always be extremely proud of my country. I have led an extremely fortunate life. It was nothing more than that. I am just extremely proud to be an American,”

I'd like to ask her if she was proud of the way this administration responded to hurricane Katrina? Or when Nixon was president. Or about Iran-Contra? or by way Saddam Hussein was executed?

I'd like to ask her what she means by "proud".

I hope the media gives her equal treatment-


peace~

.

I don't think it would be right to pounce on her problems as a single issue, but as the starting point for McCain's attempts to cover it up.

Maybe my thoughts are influenced by my own past.

I'd probably pop pills too.

If that's how he's willing to treat her out in the open, I can only imagine how he treats her behind closed doors. :scared:

did they offer her jail or the Betty Ford clinic? And would a non-powerful client get the same treatment?

goes round, comes round.

you're rooting for McCain after the reality of Hillary's chances sink in for you?! :kick:

Lets not fall into the gutter with the GOP. We maintain the high ground. People are sick of gutter politics. IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE...LET'S BE THAT CHANGE!

but catchwords for politics as usual.

:hi:

nothing like taking medicine from needy third world children when you gotta have a fix!

Scare the shit out of them and make them shut up.

since they make possible the McCain's presidential campaign.

His use of these finances have allowed him to run.

Put yourself in my situation for a moment.

I've run for and currently hold public office. My wife has been attacked and riddiculed by sleazeball pols from both parties because of her looks and her attendance at a "Lost" fan club convention. I've had a political opponent try to get her fired from her job.

One thing I will NEVER condone is attacking a politician's spouse as a way to score political points.

With an iron hand!

but a rich person stealing drugs from charity to get a junkies fix is a little different than going to a 'Lost' convention right?

I really don't care if McCain's trophy wife is proud of her country. She is just another GOP Stepford Wife as vacant as the previous ones. Whoopie for anorexic-looking Cindy McCain in her red $5000 Yves St. Laurent power suit, with her triple string of cultured pearls, her bleached blond hair and her shiny new face-lift telling us she's proud of America. Prouder of America than--- hmmmm, let's say Michelle Obama.


John McCain follows the usual "family values" profile of Republican social climbers. He divorced first wife Carol in April 1980 and married Cindy one month later. Infidelity? Hell no!... they were just "friends."

Cindy who is 18 years younger than Gramps McCain and she paid for McCain's first campaign for Congress in 1982 with loans from her well endowed trust fund. Her father's business and political contacts helped gain her husband a foothold into Arizona politics.

Cindy's biggest claim to fame is in 1989 she developed an addiction to perocet and vicodin, two powerful morphine based pain killers. In 1993 she was caught stealing percocet from supply of the American Voluntary Medical Team, a charity she founded to provide health care and medications to war victims in underdeveloped nations. The DEA was investigated her and with the intervention of her well connected parents and McCain himself, Cindy got off the hook with the usual 90 day trip to the posh rehab. The American Voluntary Medical Team folded shortly after it ceased to be a supply point for Cindy's opiate habit.

The DEA agreed to keep Cindy's little misadventure in Lala Land from the public, but then Cindy went and terminated the guy who reported her to the DEA and the details of Cindy's sordid past as a suburban trophy wife junkie all came out when the fired guy filed a wrongful termination suit against Cindy.

A few weeks after Cindy came clean about her addiction the Variety Club cancelled her Humanitarian of the Year Award. Boo hoo!... Another respectable Republican mother of the Harper Valley PTA goes down. This is just a little Peyton Place of Republican family values and Cindy's a Harper Valley hypocrite.

John McCain kept Cindy under wraps during his bid for the presidency but now that she's out there telling us she's way prouder of America than Michelle Obama, So I'm doing America a service by telling the truth, and nothing but the whole truth about Cindy.

Michelle Obama is proud of America too, but she's not Republican, garden club, percocet munching ex-cheerleader like Cindy. And she doesn't steal drugs from charitable organizations.

Michelle never had a trust fund like Cindy and she grew up under humble circumstances on Chicago's South Side. Her father was a pump operator and she managed to overcome her disadvantages as a working class black woman and attend Princeton then she graduated from Harvard Law School and met Barak at a law office where they worked together, shortly after Barack receive his law degree from Harvard. Michelle has paid enough dues to be far more credible than dozen stoned out Republican trophy wives when she tells you she is proud of America. America should be proud of Michelle Obama.

The whole thing is a bunch of nonsense. Most people have the common sense to understand what this political posturing and xenophobic flag waving from the McCain camp is all about. Call me harsh, but I'm tired of Republicans wrapping themselves in the flag and smearing perfectly decent Americans. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/2/20/64612/4690/438/460265

and not get punished.

and didn't find out until the marriage licensure information was published? Holy shit, you can't even be honest about your ages when you meet someone and you're dating? No thanks, just another reason to dismiss McSame.

Good luck getting traction with that. People who vote on things like the spouse of a candidate are generally not going to be that open to rational discussion in the first place, I think.

wait until after the convention and she says something really stupid


right now it should be



TAX RETURNS NOW

she must have known something was coming

these days, and no one should be saying that we shouldn't be hitting them as well. They will continue to hit Michelle Obama, and we should hit Cindy McCain hard.

She stole prescription drugs from a charity for children.

She was a druggie who would have gone to prison if she had not been well connected.

She uses her company planes illegally for political purposes.

And she's as nuts as McCrazy.

...didn't they? Some family values, Cin has.

NGU.

but you'll sacrifice any right to bitch when they go after Michelle Obama. "They started it" isn't a compelling argument among adults.

Stand by doing nothing while the GOP trashes Michelle?

Sorry, but showing her real words isn't "trashing".

I understand why you don't like it, but it's not trashing.

normally, I would hate sinking to their level, but Kerry's campaign changed me.


I still don't feel comfortable with drug issues, though. She got help, and that is a good example.
But she can be attacked for ethics.

I think people (finally) are able to see through these bullshit tactics. This country wants a break from the past and a new politics.

is completely fair game in my mind. The drug use and what not I don't think should be brought up.

It's not right to go after either wife. One wrong doesn't make a right.

In my opinion, that's the only way to win the argument. Stand Michelle Obama side by side with Cindy McCain... on values, on morality, on ethics and let the REAL working-class background woman take on the TRUE trustfund baby elitist.

Cindy McCain is no match for Michelle Obama. But, there is a risk involved in going there. I think we'll have to see how the media narrative plays out.
