In Search of Cindy McCain

I hope we don't see continuation of Bush's policies. On a personal level nobody is bad, Obama, Mccain or their wives. Mrs. McCain is an impressive lady without a doubt. However, what really matters is to avoid a rerun of Bush's failed policies. It is important to elect Obama. He will not tax folks who make less than 250K. He will prioritize spending in the best interest of common man. He will be less driven by the lobbyist than McCain. He has not taking money from the special interests as much as McCain or Mrs. Clinton. He will make changes in policies to attract investment. He will make sure he remains effective and not kicked out after 4 years. World will be a friendlier place for Americans due to the change.

In Search of Cindy McCain?

Really?


Not long ago, the New York Times reported the story of McCain's relationship with the sultry lobbyist, Vicki Iseman. McCain surrogates furiously denounced the story, but oddly, John McCain never brought it up.

As I made the rounds in Washington, several people mentioned the story. A theme developed. None would go on the record, but more than one suggested that fidelity in the McCain marriage was not a priority for either partner. I was told that reporters know a lot more than they let on, but they are reticent about bringing it up.

The first has to do with raw politics. I don't believe for a second that John McCain will beat Barack Obama in November. Obama draws tens of thousands to his rallies; McCain is lucky if a thousand people show up for his. Barack has a cash machine that shames anything that came before it. McCain's campaign can barely afford the gas for his Straight Talk Express. Barack is inspiring, McCain is tiring...

But...

Down-ticket races need to be considered as well. Again, almost nobody doubts that Democrats will pick up a substantial number of seats in both houses of Congress. The pressing question is how many seats will flip. Will Democrats get to 60 seats in the Senate?

Every election has its close races. In Virginia, Webb beat Allen by fewer than 10,000 votes. Many, many House seats were determined by fewer than 5,000 votes. Every single vote counts.

I've seen analysis that the evangelical Christian community constitutes 30% of the Republican base. These fundamentalist voters drove the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Republicans are more than capable of reading polls; they knew that the majority of Americans just wanted to MoveOn... Republicans found themselves between a rock and a hard place. The impeachment route made them look partisan and petty to the majority of Americans, but their base wanted it more than anything else...

They decided to dance with who brung 'em. Evangelicals elected them so evangelicals would get their scalp. And Clinton was impeached. (McCain voted in favor of impeachment).

McCain is already on thin-ice with evangelicals. James Dobson won't take his calls. John Hagee's followers still smart over McCain's condemnations. He famously disparaged Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell in the 2000 campaign and he renounced mega-church Pastor Rob Parsely this cycle. McCain's support of embryonic stem-cell research, limited environmental protections and campaign finance reform have each generated withering criticism from the religious right.

The last thing the Republican paryy needs is a John McCain adultery problem.

Check that.

The second to last thing Republican party needs is a John McCain adultery problem. The last thing they need is a John McCain cuckold problem.

And the buzz in Washington is that he's got one.

I just know that if Michelle Obama was ever even suspected of stealing or of drug addiction, the Obamas would never have come this far. Such double standards. But oh, I forgot, Cindy is blond and rich, so of course, she gets a free pass...

Cindy McCain is going to make a Wonderful First Lady! She will make us Proud. She Gives SO 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.

On Thursday Dan Abrams played a video during his MSNBC show of John McCain saying, "I didn't really love America until I was deprived of her company." Abrams speculated that the video could help to undermine the right wing's attacks on Michelle Obama for her comment about being proud of her country for the first time in her whole life.

On Abrams' Friday night show he began with yet another segment on McCain making statements about the difficulty of being proud of your country. This time McCain explained to a young man that "it's tough, tough in some respects" to be proud of America.

As Abrams notes, the statement is hardly controversial, but he goes on to ask, "is it really all that different from Michelle Obama's comment."

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."

I???m a Navy Brat. Mom was a Navy Wife from the late Forties to the early Sixties. That meant that Dad was making those long Cold War deployments at sea. Sometimes there was no money for a month or two when the allotment checks were screwed up. We communicated via letters that took weeks to go back and forth. Often we didn???t know where Dad???s ship was or when we???d see him next. Throughout all of this, Mom kept the family together and kept our heads up.
For Cindy McCain to drape herself in the mantle of these courageous, incredibly strong women, and that McCain would let her, is clear proof that they???re both tin-eared poseurs. In all of her cosseted life she has never had to do anything as tough as stand on the pier with a couple of little kids while Dad???s ship heads out to sea. Cindy McCain is not fit to wash the feet of a Navy Wife.

Americans will be fortunate to have classy, intelligent Cindy as "First Lady" if they can see through the smoke and mirrors around the competition,

Kristol: Bush/McCain = Dr. Strangelove

Kristol, Bush and McCain. Such a cluster of virtuousness. Now Kristol says Bush will pull the trigger on Iran if he thinks Obama may win. Even after 7 years of hardening to Republican lunacy, I still can't believe this one.

Obama 08'

She sounds like she's suffered a lot in life, and I can hardly blame her for shunning the media after the way they've treated her and her children. But it sounds like we never get to see her real self. I have a lot of admiration to someone that helps children in need and teaches special ed. That's a very demanding, yet rewarding job.
