Cindy McCain is HOT! Jesus...she's a hot older woman.

I truly am utterly baffled that the GOP is going to nominate this guy. I thought they couldn't stand him?

They would vote for a shit sandwich if they thought it could secure the WH for another 4 years.

If so, your affection for and attraction to some being that is bonded to a war mongering subhuman coward certainly gets my vote. Or if there is a "I am a superficial idiot" contest, well, then, again, you might get a vote, although that contest would put you into a a much larger class of fools, and it might be harder to pick you out.

Sheesh.

I ready a story where she brought home a child from Bangladesh who needed medical treatment, handed the child to John, and said "this is our new daughter".

She's also very wealthy in her own right.

did they just take the child in

without adoption paperwork and a home study, etc....

it says she brought to the United States 2 babies that needed medical care. and she decided to adopt one of them and the other one was given to a family friend.

Guess we will never know.

And the other was given to a family friend? WTF is that? Here I got an extra kid I don't need you want one?

Don

adorable, but, in the end, possessions

in the US, especially children from outside the US

you need all kinds of legal and institutional certification from US govt and social work agencies, etc....

you need a home study, for starters

it takes months, and money

you can't just decide to keep a child that strikes your fancy

Is it possible that they may have done this as a loving gesture?

when those of you who are slinging ugly things at the McCains, I'll listen to you when you send me the pics of the children YOU'VE adopted who wouldn't have had a chance otherwise.

her a chance for a good life. I'm sorry you have a problem with that. I shouldn't have even bothered answering your inane question.

For a drug addict who helped in the Keating Five cover-up. For someone who belongs to a political party/ideology that would imprison anyone else for half the crimes she committed. But, golly! She too rich, connected, and good-looking to spend any time in jail, right?

Riiiight. :eyes:

She owns the number 1 Budweiser distribution company in the U.S.!

(aka "Right to Work") legislation strong in Arizona.

This nearly native AZ can't see anything beautiful about the McCain family--and her rat husband didn't even defend his own family against KKKarl Rove's tactics because he so desperately wants to be president.

I'm from Arizona. I was responding to the stephord wife comment. And her Daddy is dead. Also I hate McCain with a passion. I hope I made myself clear.

Lincoln Savings debacle.

It's personal with me and I'm a bit reactionary when I perceive any warmth for him (which I admit to being mistaken in this case--again, my apologies).

Far north Phoenix here--you? :hi:

I'm living in Oregon at this time. But lived in mesa for about 2yrs., before that lived in Bullhead city.:hi:

with my car :rofl:

I hope you aren't that hard on her when her beauty ages....


jeez

woman. given the amount of crazed hillary bashing you've done here, it seems like you may have some issues.

...going on there.

She's definitely had her neck done since this picture was taken.

Pretty attractive on the whole. Too bad the political part of her brain doesn't work.

Classy lady.

Don

Her family is corrupt as hell, too--and have screwed the Arizona unions for decades by supporting Right to Be Screwed by your employer laws with big money.

When McCain returned to the United States in 1973 after more than five years as a prisoner of war, he found his wife was a different person. Carol McCain, once a model, had been badly injured in a car wreck in 1969. The accident "left her 4 inches shorter and on crutches, and she gained a good deal of weight."

Despite her injures, she had refused to allow her POW husband to be notified about her condition, fearing that such news would not be good for him while he was being held prisoner.

But, just a couple years later, McCain, while pondering a future in politics, met Cindy Hensley, an attractive 25-year-old woman from a very wealthy politically-connected Arizona family. While still married to Carol, McCain began an adulterous relationship with Cindy. He married Cindy in May 1980 just a month after dumping his crippled wife and securing a divorce.

McCain followed his young, millionairess wife back to Arizona.

He dumps his first wife because she's become disabled.

Not an uncommon story, from what I understand.

(Stuff on divorce settlement, too)

(snip)

While he was imprisoned, Carol was in an auto wreck (1969), thrown through her car's windshield and left seriously injured. Despite her injures, she refused to allow her POW husband to be notified about her condition, fearing that such news would not be good for him while he was being held prisoner.

(snip)

While still married to Carol, McCain began an adulterous relationship with Cindy. He married Cindy in May 1980 -- just a month after dumping Carol and securing a divorce. The newlyweds honeymooned in Hawaii.

(snip)

McCain, 63, gave her his interest in homes in Alexandria, Va., and South Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., according to records of the divorce settlement obtained by The Associated Press and other newspapers.

The Arizona senator agreed to give her their furnishings, $1,325 a month in alimony, $300 in child support. He also agreed to pay an additional $500 monthly if she couldn't find a job.

She was subsequently employed in the Reagan White House, according to George "Bud" Day, McCain's attorney during the divorce. Day also was one McCain's cellmates when they were prisoners of war in Vietnam.

She had lost a couple of inches of height and was using crutches. (But at least she didn't have cancer, like the former Mrs. Newt Gingrich. :P )

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCain#Return_to_United_States

McCain promptly dumped her like a hot potato and took up with Cindy.

Repuke family values in action yet again. Imagine if a Dem had done that...

"SHHH! This is a library, young man!" comes to mind.

"I'm sorry, you're application has been denied." comes to mind.

"I'm afraid your account is overdrawn." comes to mind.

But HOT? Yikes.

.

Actually started her own medical charity, sending unsused drugs to third world countries. Did it for years. Unfortunately it's also how she copped her opiates.
She got caught and had to fold it.

She was as big a junkie as Limbaugh.

That scandal has been well buried....I wonder if it will be resurrected during this campaign....

be assured that it will be resurrected. The charity, as elehhhhna says, was a sham to score her opiates and if it weren't for her station in life, she'd be doing very hard time.

Here's another great local story about the scandal and how McCain's influence quashed it:

How Cindy McCain was outed for drug addiction

http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com/cin_betrayal.htm

It's going to make this primary season survivable!

Greal local coverage of the story from Phoenix New Times, a highly respectable (at the time local, now national) alternative weekly who did some outstanding work on the S&L scandals, too.

http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/1994-09-08/news/opiate-for-the-mrs/

Wealthy Republican woman has opiate addiction, steals drugs, and is then whisked off to an astronomically expensive rehab. No legal problems whatsoever.

Poor guy, with the same addiction, gets caught with a bag of dope and is dumped into a jail cell with zero concern for his health. No rehab, no help, just a cell.

If you're going to be a narcotics addict in America, make sure you have lots of money.

"With liberty and justice for all"

That photo has been heavily retouched.

:eyes:

So it's safe to assume that you'll be voting for McCain?

:eyes:

But but but his wife so hot!!!

:sarcasm:

And the picture is totally phony. Typical Republican BS. Don't fall for it.

She did adopt a child from Bangladesh. She also really did not like her treatment by Bushco during the South Carolina primary in 2000. I've also read that she also does not enjoy campaigning very much and was never really into the idea of her husband running for office. On the other hand she had a small part in the Keating Five scandal and she also started seeing McCain when he was already married. I also think Mitt Romney's wive okay. She has MS but its in remition. Got to give her credit for working through that. But overall I like Michele Obama the best. Just a straightforward likable woman with two young daughters.

she also looks pretty intense. Shrewd, even. As a woman I see nothing wrong with that,certainly, but most men in America prefer their women vapid (esp. repug men).

Not well known yet on the national scene, but it's very well-known here (this alternative paper is very well respected in Arizona, especially for its investigative reporting, it beats our local MSM rag hollow):

Is there a proportionate relationship between attractiveness of a candidate or a candidate's spouse and their ability to effectively govern?

Don't think so.

Maybe her heart is black as coal and she's the one who sucked McCain dry of any warmth or humanity.

Must be the personality 'eh?
