In Search of Cindy McCain

KOOL-AID??????..From the kitchen of the obama sheeple!! take one heaping spoonful of an inexperienced elitist white male seeking self validation through exploitation of his african-american genetics. Combine two parts black liberation theology clerics spewing intolerance! With two parts of unrepentant intellectuals committed to the destruction of America. Stir in one cup of militant black wife harboring the overwhelming desire to stick it to whitey and one spoonful of typical white person grandmother mix well. Pour a gallon of anti-patriotism into tall glasses and sprinkle with naïve foreign policy ideations. Serve on a platter of meaningless oratorical hyperbole with a generous dollop of wealth re-distribution. Sprinkle liberally with zest of white guilt flip it and flop it till it tastes right. Serve large portions to the undiscerning and spellbound masses convinced that the Second Coming is upon America and now you have a complete recipe for disaster!

Jimbo this is only the tip of the Iceberg there is more much but you will have to do your own home work. But I will at least give you the following. Mind you I have nothing against anyone patronizing pro sports, This is just one blatant example of Corporate Socialism or Welfare or what ever you wish to call it. And If I am not mistaken Corporate Welfare was a Reagan term he used quite often.

Subsidies for sports teams have grown steadily. From 1995 through 2006, local, state and federal governments spent more than $10 billion subsidizing more than 50 new Major League stadiums and countless minor league facilities. "This trend is only accelerating: Government spending on sports facilities now soaks up more than $2 billion a year," Neil deMause, author of the book and Field of Schemes told congress in 2007.

According to Forbes magizine, the Big Four sports had revenues in 2006 on $16.7 billion. They counted a tenth of that, slightly less than $1.7 billion, as operating income, which is one way to measure profits.

Putting together the estimates by Forbes and deMause shows that the entire operating profit of commercial sports industry comes from the taxpayer. The subsidies, in fact, cover a third of a billion dollars in operating losses before this boost from the tax payers pushes the industry in to the black.

Also, the figures from Forbes cover only operating profits and losses, not all cost. No business or industry can continue in the long run without covering all of its cost. Not taken in to account by Forbes were interest paid on borrowed money, taxes and paying down debt. Add in those cost and the actual LOSSES for the commercial sports industry, absent tax payer (Government) subsidies, (Corporate Socialism, Welfare what ever you chose to call it) are far greater thatn $340 million a year.

Subsidy economics tend to drive prices up, not down, as recipients chase subsidies more than customers. Adam Smith figured this out in 1776. he examined the subsidies in his day for commercial fishing. Inhis era the word bounty referred to gifts the government bestowed on the owners of herring ships. He concluded that to collect subsidies, people will appear to engage in commercial activity. Smith wrote:

The bounty [subsidy] to the white-herring fishery is a tonnage bounty: and is proportioned to the burden [size] of the ship, not to her diligence or success in the fishery: and it has, I am afraid, been too common for vessels to fit out for sole purpose of catching, not the fish, but the bounty.

You are right corporations should not be complicit in the act and or practice of Socialism . if that is what you are getting at "jimbo" but it is exactly what they are neck deep in. That is, government hand outs, kick backs, tax incentivesand or tax cuts, special favors,etc,... It may have some relevance to fair and just business practices if it worked for all of the American tax payers and or citizens but it is a pendulum that swings in favor of the corporations because our laws are so heavily waited in the direction of Corporate America. It is so in your face, arrogant, self centered, a business as usual practice and a catch phrase "just live with it" Which has proven to be for last 30 + years that corporations take full advantage of the Socialist or as some would label it as "WELFARE" hand outs that our government allows them that it is slowly turning our nation into servers and eliminating the producers.

Within the next generation we will be a nation of buyers, servers and non producers. We are almost there now. Is it any reason why The American workers morale is at an all time low? When our government keeps handing out to corporations and taking away from the very people (The America Worker) the very back bone of our nation. THE AMERICAN DREAM for the common man/women is a fleeting memory. With our country being in bed with corporations they have destroyed our great society of what was once a nation of proud freeholders to a nation of beholders.

A Corporate Society = Corporate Socialism
All of the safety nets for Corporate America and nothing for its Citizens. We as America's Working Class wallow in what is left, "Corporate Droppings" and for me and 100s of millions of Americans it smells bad, extremely bad!

Extend the Corporal Pain with your vote for McCain

Onepoker, you don't know what you're talking about, and you obviously do not live in Arizona. Yes, first time offenders do go to jail here often. I will agree that being married to John McCain was not her ticket out, however. I suspect it was because of the millions Daddy had that gave her the get out of jail ticket.

And as for moral integrity? Excuse me, John McCain was married at the time he courted the then Cindy Hensley. He dumped his first wife after she had a disfiguring accident from which she has never recovered. Cindy was rich and 18 years his junior. Shame on him, yes, but also shame on her.

Sounds like a great deal of neglect to me. If he neglects his wife so much at times of need, how will he neglect us when we need him? McCain is so much about HIS agenda and ego, that he fails to see others in this world.

All I'd like to know is what do the McCain's have to hide, why don't they file taxes together like normal married couples, what do they have to hide. Think before you VOTE.

to icanthinkformyself:
Michelle Obama still said that for the first time in her ADULT LIFE, which Holly DID NOT quote correctly. So why don't you try corrected her before jumping on me. And if anybody's drinking anybody's "kool-aid" as you put it, it's probably you. Because isn't that something that the unhinged Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh says so frequently to their "ditto-head" listeners who like yourself, can't seem to think on their own? Just sayin'

Believe me, I'm well informed on both sides, why don't you try doing the same. John McCain simply won't have the votes come November. Evangelicals are not excited about John McCain in the least. John McCain talks out of both sides of his mouth (recall his opposition to the G.I. Bill?) and his integrity leaves a lot to be desired.

Barack Obama WILL be the next POTUS, I think people who are fighting so hard against that ought to start getting used to it.

McCain tries to take credit for the G.I. Bill

Project for the New American Century. The organization, funded by foundations closely linked to the defense and energy industry, outlined their goals in their policy paper Rebuilding America's Defenses . Their plans for creating an American Empire, toppling regimes unfriendly to their corporate interests, creating an archipelago of military bases throughout the Middle East and Central Asia, control the internet, and militarize space all hinged upon one thing: According to this document (page 52). "The process of transformation," the plan said, "is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor." .

Upon his appointment to President in 2000, George W. Bush appointed the hierarchy of this organization to the top levels of the White House, The Pentagon, and the State Department:

Dick Cheney Vice President
Donald Rumsfeld Secretary of Defense
Douglas J. Feith (former) Undersecretary of Defense
I. Lewis Libby Vice President Cheney's former Chief of Staff and Assistant to the Vice President for National Security Affairs.
Aaron Friedberg Vice President Cheney's deputy National Security advisor
Robert Zoelick US Deputy Secretary of State
Paula Dobriansky Undersecretary of State
Elliott Abrams Deputy National Security Adviser
Frank Gaffney Pentagon's Defense Policy Board
Fred C. Ikle Pentagon's Defense Policy Board
Eliot A. Cohen Pentagon's Defense Policy Board
Henry S. Rowen Pentagon's Defense Policy Board
William J. Bennett Presidential speech writer
Jeb Bush Governor of Florida
Paul Wolfowitz World Bank President
John Bolton Ambassador to the U.N.
Zalmay Khalilzad U.S. ambassador to Iraq

NOW, WHY DO YOU THINK THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE LYING ABOUT ANWR?

REMEMBER WHEN AL GORE SAID THAT
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD WORK TO ARTIFICIALLY RAISE GAS PRICES
TO $5.00 A GALLON?

WELL.

AL GORE AND HIS FELLOW DEMOCRATS HAVE ALMOST REACHED THEIR GOAL!

NOW YOU KNOW THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN LYING. I've seen the pictures sent by those in Alaska. The area that they want to drill is barren land by the coast. It isn't even pretty. Yes, the interior of the Alaska wildlife refuge is, but not where they want to drill. We need to depend on ourselves and not Saudi Arabia.

To LovelyLife16: Maybe you should get your facts straight. John McCain drafted the immigration bill that is a pathway for all immigrants to become citizens of America without having to return to their native country or pay any penalty for being here illegally. That was not Barack Obama. And, McCain courted and pled for Rev. Hage's endorsement, knowing full well that he had said Katrina's destruction of New Orleans was God's wrath for AIDS, and other wonderful things. McCain also wanted the other Reverend's support (can't remember his name right now) that put down Jews.

John McCain supports all the things for immigrants that you are attributing to Barack Obama. And, why wouldn't he? Arizona has one of the largest number of illegal immigrants in the country.

And, while John McCain DID serve his country in Vietnam, he was not a hero - just a POW. And, like all POW's he suffered. But, he is no better than any other POW and is making sure more Americans die for a war in Iraq we should never have started.

McCain voted against the Tax Cut for the Wealthy until he needed their votes and money. Now he votes for that same Tax Cut. He voted against offshore drilling because of the damage it does to the environment but, now that he wants big oil's support, he has changed his stance on that also.

I would no more vote for John McCain than I would for you. Barack Obama is a great representative of this country who has the ability to use diplomacy to work through problems and help get American back to the country we should be. Oh, you should know that John McCain said he was not proud of his country until he served in the war. Obviously a stupid and unintentional statement - just like Michelle Obama. She clearly meant she was not proud of American politics until now. And, considering the moron who has run this country for the past 8 years - who is?

Those who insinuate that the Republican party of Honest Abe's era is same party of today is a fool in their own skin. The party that Abraham Lincoln represented was the party of the people. The Republican party of today is the party of Corporate Socialism infested with charlatans, shysters, and a few other perverted mind sets on a free ride bought and paid for by the American tax payers and corporate lobbyist, To think, let alone speak of the Republican party of today in the same breath as Abraham Lincoln is not only blasphemy it's is stupid and UN-AMERICAN. And you really need to get over yourself. The World Has!

Get a life and an education.

Extend the never ending PAIN with your vote for McCain

Well, of the six past presidents mentioned who were womanizers, four were Democrats!!! Thomas Jefferson was from the Democratic-Republican party and Warren Harding was Republican. Reagan is still the best of the recent presidents. :) He had great character.

It seems that there has not been a lot said about her until now, has she just been kind of pushed into the background?
