    Ask Cindy to maintain her blonde hair as appeared here, and also maintain her stance concerning comments by Michelle Obama concerning our country, and she will win the seat for her husband MCain. The nation will review a debate between the first ladies, and Cindy will maintain her classy composure will guarentee a win. his race is not about the nominees, its about the first ladies.

      Republicans have hammered Michelle Obama for her remarks in February that she was proud of America "for the first time in my adult life." Tonight, however, Dan Abrams showed footage he uncovered of a Fox News interview with John McCain on March 13, 2008, in which McCain said, "I didn't really love America until I was deprived of her company."

      Abrams thinks McCain's comments could undermine the "right wing's steady attacks against Michelle Obama."

      No doubt a exjunkie with a history of a stroke, daughter of a convicted felon with Arizona/Las Vegas Mafia connection, the McCain's living separate lives. The so called War hero with a pattern of womanizing boozing with his mentor buddy Senator John Tower of Texas. McCain 's preferential treatment, being a greaser just added another layer of decite.
      The SOB left a crippled wife to marry a rich rodeo queen, who''s felon father with Mafia connections along with the felon Charles Keating Bank rolled McCain's first Congressional Campaign. He a 72 year old pitt bull with a tortured soul of lies about Nam and she having suffered a stroke..... get real.

    General Statement:

    I'm from L.A. Calif. Most conservatives and moderates think the Hollyweird Crowd is a non-issue. More specifically, unimportant!!!

    Believe it or not, now that Hillary's out of the race, there are a lot of people (men & women) that have said they made the switch to McCain.

    California for John McCain!

    I'm all for drilling here in my state!!!! How about you Florida & Alaska? Drill now!

    A guy who admits to lieing about his age to rob the cradle, not to mention the whoppers he probably told about his wife? This a someone who will say anything, kiss up to anybody, throw away his maverick image, whatever it takes to get what he wants. Taking advice from Karl Rove, the man who started a rumour about him having a illegitmate black child!
    My, how the mighty have fallen.

    Am not a Repugnican and would not vote for John McSame; however, that said have no doubts of his courage and beliefs, he is not the "chicken hawk" George Bush in that regard...this article is wonderful to give a true look at the lady with John McBush, she is somebody that I could enjoy her company, and yet agree with her politically on probably, well nothing - to me what speaks volumes about the McCain's is here's a guy who's basically had his arms pulled out of their sockets by his captors and where's his wife going to assist in medical necessities for children - truly amazing, that's not something I could honestly say I'd be so gracious in the same situation - shows the power of forgiveness...

  • Posted By: mactiques @ 06/23/2008 8:30:27 PM

    People keep saying that Mr Mccain will say anything and flip flop on any issue to get elected
    Now we know he lied about his age and most likely his marital status to rob the cradle. There's a guy who will say anything to get what he wants.

    Cindy McCain is a "Stepford Wife". So robotic, so phony, so cunning, just like her hubby. Haven't we had enough of that in the White House over the last 8 years. I know that most Americans sit on their apathetic a**es watching reality t.v., complaining and whining about EVERYTHING and expecting someone else to take care of it.

    Americans has earned the reputation of being "dumbed down" and the vast majority can't even see it. Cindy McCain as first lady would be just the type to come off as the Queen in her palace thworing crumbs to the commoners. VOTE DEMOCRAT!

    • Posted By: mspidge @ 06/23/2008 8:13:58 PM

      I don't Cindy McCain will have the ability or the insentive to turn this country into a socialist and markism country, but m obama certiainly has the ability. she's an angry black women and a real threat to do so, between her and b obama, they will turn this country into something you won't recogniize and it certainly won't be something to be proud of. So I would rather have Cindy throwing crumbs to commoners, than have the obama's throwing socialism, and marxism from their balcony.

    GOD BLESS CINDY , SHE'LL MAKE THE PERFECT FIRST LADY!

    • Posted By: rwethereyet @ 06/23/2008 10:18:35 AM

      Your are correct...Cindy McCain will be a wonderful First Lady for America. She gives So very much to others:

      As an advocate for children's health care needs, Cindy founded and ran the American Voluntary Medical Team (AVMT) from 1988 to 1995. AVMT provided emergency medical and surgical care to impoverished children throughout the world. Cindy led 55 medical missions to third world and war-torn countries during AVMT's seven years of existence. On one of those missions, Mother Teresa convinced Cindy to take two babies in need of medical attention to the United States. One of those babies is now their adopted daughter, 16-year-old Bridget McCain.

      In recent years, three organizations in particular have been the subject of her international focus: HALO, Operation Smile, and CARE.

      As a member of the Board of Trustees for the HALO Trust, a non-profit organization dedicated to landmine removal and weapons destruction in war-torn countries, Cindy has traveled to numerous countries to see firsthand the impact HALO has had by removing landmines. She recently returned from her second visit to Cambodia. She has also traveled to Sri Lanka, Mozambique, and Angola.

      Cindy also serves on the Board of Directors for Operation Smile, a non-profit organization whose mission is to repair cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities for children around the world. Since 1982, Operation Smile has provided free reconstructive surgery to more than 100,000 children and young adults in 25 countries. Cindy has assisted on volunteer missions to Morocco, India, and Vietnam. She is scheduled to return to Vietnam on another mission during the summer of 2008.

      Cindy is currently on a leave of absence from the Board of Directors of CARE, USA, which works to fight global poverty, particularly among women. She traveled to Tanzania in February 2007 with CARE.

        Cindy MIGHT make a great first lady BUT John McCain would make alousy president. He can not remember anything!!

        I agree with the poster who said had Michelle had this life--drug addictions, stealing, adultery, etc--I don't think anyone would be so forgiving..Nor so forgiving with Hillary!!


        • Posted By: winemaster2 @ 06/23/2008 8:12:45 PM

          Mother Treassea Cindy McCain is not. With a twisted back and having suffered a stroke the painted face Ms. Charity does nothing but jets around adding up the resume. There are one too many do gooders and the McCain's of the conservative republican variety do nothing if their are no presonal benefits. The whole story is about getting sympathy about a Navy Wife. What a bucket full of crap and hog wash.

          McBush supporters have to drag in the Obamas just to make themselves feel good for the low down hypocrite the McCain's are. He with his preferential treatment all his life and she the beer disributorship money from a felon father with Arizona/ Las Vegas Mafia connection. The man was a bona fide felon who spend time in the slammer. He took a dive for the boss who, rewarded him with a beer distributorship. And John McCain the greaser, divorced his first crippled up to marry a rich rodeo queen who' s father bank rolled McCain's first Congressional Campaign along with large contributions from that other felon Charles Keating.

    My first subscription to Newsweek was when I was in the 8th grade in '69. The omission of important details regarding Cindy McCain's drug addiction, would lead one to believe that hers was just an oops, without any scapegoats. She is far from the person that you have portrayed. I'm disappointed. Either someone didn't do their homework or you sold out. Either makes me suspicious of anything else that you write.

  • Posted By: jro961 @ 06/23/2008 3:44:37 PM

    You McCain haters are sad, pathetic excuses for human beings.
    So much for the party of inclusion. You only want inclusion of people that agree with you.
    Otherwise, you are as hateful as you claim the other side to be

    • Posted By: winemaster2 @ 06/23/2008 7:15:17 PM

      Hey Moron, the McCain's hate themselves. It is just nothing more then a marriage of convenience. He is 72 year pitbull with a tortured soul for his lies about Nam and she a painted face rodeo queen, daughter of a felon with Arizona/ Las Vegas Mafia connection. Cindy's fathers took a dive for his Liq Baron Boss and kept his mouth shut. He severed time in the slammer and for that was rewarded a beer distributor ship for being a stand up guy. They McCain's have lived separate lives and the pattern of womanizing and boozing all fits together. On top of it all McCain has always recieved preferential treatment all his life.

      The SOB's mentor was the biggest ever boozer and womanizer one Senator John Tower of Texas. All the stories about McCain being a greaser , ditching his first crippled wife and marrying a rich rodeo queen for he money ar bearing the fruit.

        Winemaster2, Ha...ha. you are killing me. And of course you are killing them. It's funny to talk about a felon, drug addicted, husband stealing, plastic made over woman as first lady. I don't know one in history as notorious as Cindy.

        They want to start throwing stones at the Obamas, but they better remember the rock flies two ways. Keep up the posts.

  • Posted By: debbiePAMOM @ 06/23/2008 7:57:32 PM

    Are you kidding me? His "first marriage was coming apart" and he "was in the process of seperating:." Lets translate that to the truth for those of us that are not trophy wives. He was still married to his first wife and children's mother who stood by him as a POW until he dumped her, after she had a disfiguring accident,,for a 24 yr old with a big bucks Daddy that could help him get into poiitics. He admits to previous affairs. Her Dads money and John's connection got her leaglly off the hook in the 90s after she was caught stealing drugs from her charity for children.. Please tell me about family values.

  • Posted By: slrlaw @ 06/23/2008 7:55:56 PM

    Imagine that Michelle Obama had: 1) started an affair with Barack while he was married to someone else; 2) became a drug addict; and 3) stole those drugs from a charity. Not only would she be in jail, the MSM would burn her at the stake. Why are there no consequences when rich blonde blue eyed Republicans commit adultry and crijmes? Cindy McCain should be ashamed of her attacks on Michelle Obama and newsweek should be ashamed of this ridiculous puff piece.

  • Posted By: jstoner @ 06/23/2008 7:42:05 PM

    Give me a break. Anyone who would equate being a U.S. Senator with a Navy deployment has no idea what the real world is about. When she said she was proud, every day, to be an American, I wondered exactly what she meant. Now I know: she's a drug-addicted millionaire who owns a beer distributorship. But I guess that make some people proud.

  • Posted By: winemaster2 @ 06/23/2008 7:41:34 PM

    Lordy ! Nw we have a 72 year old pitbull with a broken down body, soul and cancer in remission plus a ex junkie that has sufered a stroke. The prognosis are worst then having a Pat Nixn, Betty Ford or Nancy Reagan. As for John McCain himself e has always been a flanderer and a womanizer. There is a pattern of being a greaser, a boozer a side kick to his mentor John Tower Of Texas with his own history of boozing and womanizing. Earlier the affair with Vicky .... that lobbyist was a doubt, but now knowing that McCain's lived separate lives, it is crystal clear. The SOB has not changed a bit.

    As for Cidy being a Navy Wife, it is one big hog wash storey. McCain for all partical purposes had a cushy desk job as a Naval Liaison, that did nothing but grease the Senators for his own career. He could not be faulted for that. But Cindy being Navy wife with husband deployed is pure simple hog wash to the ninnies.

    Her charity work may have have some credits if it is all correct.

    As to her father's money from the beer distrbutorship, it is all one big fraud. There is a Arizona/Las Vegas liquor / gambling Mafia connection, where a Arizona Republic Reporter was murdered when his car was wired with a bomb. Cindy's father is a convicted felon who took a dive or his Liq. distribor boss, spend time in the slammer and for his reward as a stand up guy was rewarded with the Beer Disributorship.

    McCain was involved to the hilt with Charles Keating and under the Rpublican Administration got away with a minor slap in the wrist.

    This story does more harm to McCain and will add fuel to the fire.

    Once again, the preferential treatment factor is a big deal. He left a crippled wife to marry a rich rodeo Queen, who's father bank rolled his first congressional campaign and Charles Keating was a big contributor will rekindle the whole Reagan Era voodoo economics and the all those elderly people in Arizona and S. Cal who lost all their lives savings.

    Give me a break. Cindy McCain has never worked a day in her life. Like G.W. Bush, she was born with a silver sppon up her a** and gives off the air of superiority everywhere she goes, in everything she says, and in everything she does. She has more money than she could spend in 10 lifetimes, does her "charity" work when she or her hubby need good press. One need only watch her when out campaigning for McBush that she absolutely hates having to deal with the common people, but knows damned well that it is the little people who vote that will decided whether she and her husband get into the White House or she gets sent packing back to AZ to wallow in her billions of dollars.

      Still hating the rich. This woman is so awful because her parents made money. Then she Taught special education and now she frets away her time running charities that help children all over the world.

      • Posted By: Tommypie @ 06/23/2008 7:17:38 PM

        Your vitriolic and hateful comments about Cindy McCain are appalling. You must have some special inside information about the McCains since you so boldly state that "she has never worked in her life". Not true. She has been involved in more philantrophy than you ever could dream of. Recently she made a trip to Vietnam to help children with face deformities. She also give away lots of money to various charities. You should lay off Cindy McCain. Just because you are far out in the left field does not mean you are entitled to so denegrate others who do not share your beliefs. Cindy will be an excellent first lady, in contrast to Obama's wife who is totally out in the left field as well as a a radical racist.

  • Posted By: SherriH @ 06/23/2008 6:38:55 PM

    I'm disturbed by Cindy McCain in many ways. She became involved with John McCain before his first marriage ended. She married him just one month after the divorce was final. The first Mrs. McCain (Carol Shepp) was permanently injured in a horrific car accident in 1969. She endured many surgeries, nearly losing her life. The once beautiful woman was permanently disabled and 5 inches shorter than she had been, prior to the accident. She waited for John McCain, with their 3 children, while he was in captivity in Vietnam. Her appearance bothered McCain and he began a series of affairs, that ended with Cindy. It is an extremely shameful chapter that is very well documented. It does not speak highly of McCain's so called family values.

    Cindy McCain stole Viocodin and Percoset from American Voluntary Medical Team, a mobile surgical unit she established to help people around the world. She used other people's names to illegally obtain perscriptions. A DEA audit in 1993 uncovered her theft. She avoided prosecution by cutting a deal with the Justic Department where she agreed to undergo drug testing, paid a fine, did community service, and joined Narcotic Anonymous. It was and is truly a big deal.

    I'm concerned about a person who goes after a married man and steals from her own charity to feed a drug habit. These are not qualities I admire. I'm concerned about a man who will leave his injured wife and 3 kids for a younger, richer woman.
