In Search of Cindy McCain

Her "husband did not notice when she became addicted to painkillers?" She "oversees a family charity?" Gosh, Newsweek this is really weak reporting. I doubt you would have been so kind if Michelle Obama was a drug addict who used her own charity to support her habit and then fired people who wanted to tell the truth instead of live in denial with Cindy McCain. The Phoenix News Times ("Opiate for the Mrs.") did a much better job. I'm so disappointed in this publication.

Cindy McCain is an older Paris Hilton..

Seriously..if, as SHE claims..the stress of politics caused her to become a drug addict..WHY would we want her as the First Lady..I mean really, she obviously has already proven she can't hack it.

Le coeur et la nostalgie.

Quand une fleur
est sur le déclin
et rappelle l'émotion
d'un délicat âge
j'écoute une poésie,
le souffle très
léger d'une aimable
chanson et enfin
la douceur, le chant
perpétuel et une
belle harmonie.....

Francesco Sinibaldi

We cannot afford to blindly support the Democratic party because of Obama's charisma and the poetry that is trying hard to disguise political inexperience and lack of jugment.

This is not change, nor progress, that the Democratic party is trying to force-feed us as the "new politician."

Goldenstars, if SOOOO many white girls are being raped by black guys, why are SOOO many whites and all other ethnicities still clinging to them?

What's the percentage of white folks who berate their parents, or smoke Meth, or shoot up schools, or go on serial killer sprees?

It's not about color stupid, it's about class and parenting skills. Ignorance never wins.

Don't ever compare yourself to a millitary wife...I would love to have my husband "deployed" to the safety of DC, instead of receiving imminent danger pay...I would love to be able to pick up the phone and call him...instead to wondering if the reason he hasn't called is death...He wasn't there for you...There is a huge difference...DO NOT COMPARE...Death, amputation, brain injury, blindness, PTSD, and paralysis to DC.

Cindy McCain is America's next First Lady. Senator McCain and his wife can restore American prestige in a way that Obama and his wife cannot even comprehend! Obama has just learned the American flag protocol.

Readers, be informed, and beware! Sam Bodman, US Energy Secretary, is a Bush appointed Yes-man. Bodman states that insufficient production is making oil prices soar. Bush wants you to think that the OPEC countries are responsible for high oil prices, but the truth is, OPEC has been significantly increasing production over the past several months. Where is all that oil going? It's being stockpiled by US investment banks, who are creating a fake shortage to drive up the price. Congress has already started to investigate this criminal practice. Bush, who has deregulated the banking industry, tries to blame it on OPEC. By now you should be familiar with Bush's MO: he says you should be very afraid of Muslims. But who you should really be afraid of are investment bankers at Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and Lehman Brothers. Check this out:

Michael Masters of Master Capital Management (a global investment manager) testified before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Government Affairs a couple of weeks ago. Quotes from his testimony:

"Today, Index Speculators are pouring billions of dollars into the commodities futures markets, speculating that commodity prices will increase. In the popular press the explanation given for rising oil prices is the increased demand from China. According to the DOE, China's demand for petroleum has increased in the last five years from 1.88 billion barrels to 2.8 billion barrels, an increase of 920 billion barrels. Over the same five year period, Index Speculators' demand for petroleum futures has increased by 848 million barrels. THE INCREASE IN DEMAND FROM INDEX SPECULATORS IS ALMOST EQUAL TO THE INCREASE IN DEMAND FROM CHINA. Index Speculators have now stockpiled, via the futures market, the equivalent of 1.1 billion barrels of petroleum, effectively adding EIGHT TIMES as much oil to their own stockpile as the US Government has added to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve over the last five years."

"The Senate has asked the question "Are Institutional Investors contributing to food and energy price inflation?" And my unequivocal answer is "YES." In this testimony I will explain that investment banks are one of, if not the primary, factors affecting commodities prices today. Clearly, there are many factors that contribute to price determination in the commodities markets; I am here to expose a fast-growing yet virtually unnoticed factor, and one that presents a problem that can be expediently corrected through legislative policy action..."

The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission is ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. They're supposed to be protecting us from these kinds of abuses, but Bush allowed loopholes in the CFTC regulations that you can drive a truck through. An oil truck, that is.

WillNotVote, I just love it when you set yourself up to be schooled. You give a web address for the Obama's page on the Senate.gov website. Each Senator sets up their own pages there. You have directed the reader to Obama's page where he prints, for the world to see, his voting record on every bill that comes before the Senate. Here is that address:

http://obama.senate.gov/votes/index.cfm?start=1

You sent the reader to this page because it shows that Obama did not vote on many of the recent bills, and you want to make it look like Obama is asleep on the job. It must be mentioned, however, that Clinton, McCain and Obama have all missed many votes during the campaign season. However, if the reader will take the trouble to page through Obama's voting record, they will see that Obama has been present for all of the important votes. Obama has been present and voted on 62 of the 154 bills before Congress in the current session beginning January 2008. Clinton has voted on 56 of these 154 bills. And McCain, who had already won the primary and didn't have to start campaigning against Obama until three weeks ago, McCain voted on only 33 of 154 bills.

As I have exposed in one of my earlier blogs, McCain missed more than half of his votes, even before he started running for President. In the First Session of the 110th Congress (2007), McCain missed a whopping 56% of his votes. McCain doesn't want you to know this, so when you go to his Senate web page, there is no tab to click to see his voting record (http://mccain.senate.gov). An American who wants to know how McCain votes has to look it up on the Library of Congress website (not user friendly) or go to the Washington Post website:

http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/members/m000303/votes/

While you are there, pay special attention to McCain's votes on March 13 and 14, 2008. On those days we know he was present, because he voted on 22 bills. But he refused to vote on 22 other bills. He failed to vote on bills concerning border security, alien removal and English in the workplace, even though he has set himself up as the candidate who wants immigration reform favorable to Hispanics. He also failed to vote on the bills regarding efficient energy production, even though he claims to be in favor of this. He must not be very much in favor of efficient energy and immigration reform since her refused to vote even though he was present. As for Obama and Clinton, they were both present those days, and they both voted on all 44 bills.

McCain knows that public perception is all that matters, so he gives a news conference and says he supports certain issues, even though he refuses to vote in favor of them. He knows that most Americans never take the time to look up his voting record, and he makes sure that his Senate web page doesn't include this information.

I find it ironic that your blogger name is "WillNotVote." Did you get that name from John McCain?

Our family will be Proudly casting our votes for America this year and will be voting for John McCain. America needs to get back on track and McCain is our only hope for stability in this country.

For people who said that McCain is the right choice and that Obama and his wife doesn't love America, I would like you to explain this to me. McCain is even on video saying that at one time he did not love America. He said it to Sean Hannity and then he said it at campaign rally in 99 and then again in 2008 and then most recently June 14, 2008. Please help me out here.

I am not going to say anything negative about Cindy McCain - even though there appears to be a lot of material. I think the wives of the candidates and their children should be off limits. I did not like what has been done to Michelle Obama, but two wrongs don't make a right. So I'll leave this alone.

Please note - that does not mean I am not going to blast McCain from time-to-time for divorcing his handicap wife. The man is a dirt bag.

Knowing how Newsweek will do anything to elect Obama, I'm surprised that this article actually presents a positive side of Cindy McCain. I had heard about her drug addiction and the other negatives, but had never heard any positives. She actually sounds like a pretty good person who has made some mistakes along the way (as I'm sure most of us have).

Some of you who read my posts about investment banks driving up the price of oil through commodities futures trading did not believe me that this was a real issue, despite the fact that the Senate is investigating it. Well, it really is an issue and an important one, so important the the Department of Justice is going to investigate.

Today Senator Obama announced a plan today to crack down on excessive energy speculation and fully close the loophole in the CFTC regulations that I referred to in my blog. This loophole is also called the "Enron Loophole" because it was created by McCain Campaign co-chair Phil Gramm at the behest of Enron lobbyists, and exempts most trading on energy commodities from regulation. As a result, the CFTC is unable to oversee the oil futures market or investigate cases where excessive speculation is driving up oil prices. Just last month, John Hofmesiter, President of Shell Oil Company, says that the proper, uninflated production price of a barrel of crude oil is no more than $65.

http://www.financialpost.com/reports/oil-watch/story.html?id=532747

Clarence Cazalot, CEO of Marathon Oil, stated in November of 2007 that "$100 oil just isn't justified by the physical demand on the market - it has to speculation on the futures market that is driving this."

http://money.cnn.com/2007/11/12/markets/oil_hundred/index.htm?postversion=2007111216

Larry Chom, Chief Economist of Platt's, states in a recent Businessweek article that speculation is adding at least $50 to the price of every barrel of oil. You can read this article in the May13, 2008 edition of Businessweek, but it is no longer available on their website unless you are a member.

To see what Senator Obama is doing to correct this serious problem and lower the price of gas and oil, go to his website:

Now THAT is my kind of President! Sees the problem, and moves to fix it, while Bush and McCain are sitting on their hands.

Cindy McCain seems to be a very strong woman and excellent First Lady material. She apparently has not had an easy life despite her monetary wealth. She is not stingy with her money but is a philanthropist. as well. But there will be attacks and unfounded accusations of adultery, etc. from the fart left. That is to be expected. Much is at stake since having the Obamas in the White House would be a total disaster.
