    wow beer,pills and racecar driveing....and 30 yrs of marriage "together yet apart"..wonder what Mcaines 1st wife was like..But like a true neo-con,she blames an aide for scamming the choc-chip cookie recipe...why is it u r ok with the selective memory of so many Republican's,who either dont hire honest aides or go to congress when caught lieing or breaking laws,we hear "I dont recall" I dont remember or my aide did it,i dont recall send ing that email,...it's shameful, and to the comment,Mrs.mcaine has weathered so much in her life....being born a debute" must of been such a hard ship..hardship of haveing too much money and too much time on hands....

    L.L.Z. - I only wish John McCain had half the honesty, humility, and courage his wife has as then he would be much more belieable and authentic instead of portraying the perfect patriot and potential President he thinks he would be. This woman has weathered much in her life, unfortunately without her husbands knowledge and support. I do not understand how a man, politician or not, can become so self-absorbed that he does not realize his wife is becoming an addict just by looking into her face and seeing and feeling the pain she must have been in. Cindy is truly a remarkable woman and should be recognized for her dedication and what she has given to children throughout the world, not just in America. She has true compassion for others, not just Americans, but all human beings. If she were running for President Of The United States, I would be tempted to vote for her, but not for her husband. He just doesn't get it and this story only makes it crystal clear, he never will.

    Miss Bailey,
    kudos on an excellent Article, I enjoyed it.
    I'll apologize for the Neanderthals who turned this to a political debate instead of staying on topic.

    My goodness what a wonderful example for women she will be! A pill popping heiress, who set her sights on an already married man. Who has "emotional" responses that cause her to not exactly know why she makes dumb comments, and doesn't know why she puts up with a man who could possibly be our next commander in chief who called her a *** in public. Yesssssssssss forget women of class like Laura Bush, or Hillary Clinton, and Michelle Obama who can actually SPEAK for themselves in and not appear to be a stepford wife, or remind of Cruella Deville. NO! I reject her "elist" always been proud because I have always BEEN RICH attitidude. DUMB and BITTER WHITE WOMAN voting Obama in 08 eat that Cindy McCain.

    NO AMERICAN LIFE IS WORTH IRAQI FREEDOM.
    "ANYONE WHO DISAGREES IS NOT A REAL AMERICAN eddiewhere 2008

    We need to get out of Iraq and transfer responsibility and management of that country to the IRAQ's themselves. THEY SHOULD be backed by a multinational force led by Middle Eastern countries until they are able to fight extremist on their own.
    Our unilateral approach in the MIDDLE EAST has to come to an end. ECONOMICALLY, IRAQ IS KILLING the average tax payer and making a few private contractors and oil firms rich.

    We need Oil. WE NEED OIL. Therefore, getting rid of the Iranian regime is at the top of our agenda.
    The majority in Iran want change but not under and American led invasion. It has to be done from within. We lost the support of moderate Arabs and Muslims over the last six years. Hopefully, PRESIDENT OBAMA can empower this group and encourage them to meet with their counterparts.

    Inotherwords there should be an alliance between all moderates in the Middle East, JEWS, ARABs, MUSLIMS, ect... These forces must be self motivated by a common cause, Peace. IF this group can be strengthened they themselves will defeat or at least contain the force of extremism.
    WE must strengthen the forces behind peace and weaken those against peace on both sides.

    THE UNITED STATES CANNOT SOLVE THE CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WE CAN ONLY STRENGHTEN AND SUPPORT THE PEOPLE OF THE MIDDLE EAST TO SOLVE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS.

    IN THE SHORT RUN WE NEED MIDDLE EASTERN OIL. THIS COMPLICATES OUR ROLE OVER THERE.
    WE Should have had an ENERGY SUMMIT TEN YEARS AGO. WE NEED TO COME UP WITH A TWENTY YEAR PLAN to RID OURSELVES of OIL DEPENDENCY IN THE MIDDLE EAST. TWENTY YEARS WILL GO BY LIKE NOTHING. WE HAVE TO START NOW.

    THE most dangerous threats are the ones you do not see coming. LIKE CHINA, RUSSIA, EASTERN EUROPEAN organized crime. Monitoring these entities will be our great challenge.
    ARE WE READY FOR CYBER WAR. I DON't THINK SO.

    Congratulations to Hollywood. THEY JUST FINISHED A MOVIE ON THE MASSACRE IN TINNAMEN SQUARE.

      Dear Eddiewhere:you are absolutely on Target :Why else is bush splitting Iraq into 4 American OILY companies ..WE had NO business in Iraq. Tommy Franks said so himself to Senator Bob Graham in 2002 (Feb.) he was being pulled out of Afghanistan to go to Iraq,on a manhunt ?Osama or Saddam .Newsweek itself posted in their 2001 ,Sept 24th issue and the Special issue in Dec 30th ,2001 .Saddam was the bad guy (Who's next ?) Who's on first (abbott and costello) Franks wanted to go to Somalia or Yemen but Barbara Bodine (helped kick John O'Neill out of there after the Cole was bombed ,"she should never allowed that ship to be there in the first place , then she says ,a plane i was on was hijacked but we landed safely somewhere in Africa? all the people who think McCain is the second coming of FDR or something should look into his background and the first bush "THE KEATING FIVE "and Savings and Loan ripoff with Neil Bush ,just recently ,In May he said "no offshore Drilling but in June he says ,yes i back offshore drilling ...Lets drill these rats right out of washing ton

    Lets be fair to all the ladies ? Remember when Senator Clinton made some money on Options trading in ?some kind of ,I will use say GOLD , but i believe it was meat ? Everyone jumped all over her because somebody ,maybe on the "inside "told her what to do ? Well .lets examine some accusations made against "Cindy "the nice lady and that thoughtful man ,John : according to my source ,the rumour has it that she has filed Tax Returns that will show her illegal offshore war profits and pre-911 trading in Swiss Re-insurance.Secret offshore accounts linked to 1241 Class C Nevada Corp. ,payoffs and bribes ...

    Like I said Flori it's understandable that it's over your head but you keep thinking inside of your tunnel it's where the Repugnants are the most comfortable.

    You have nothing, never say anything, bring nothing to the table

    "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." - Sinclair Lewis

    Cindy McCain, no offense, looks like a Nazi wife - your blonde haired, blue eyed patriot... I'm sure she's a nice lady in person, but as a political wife I think she seems a little two-diminsional. Maybe that's not charitable, since she's obviously got her own interests and far be it from me to put down a member of my same sex.

    But I think Michelle Obama would make a much more interesting First Lady, let's put it that way. She is better educated, more articulate, more passionate, and extremely unconventional compared with other first ladies (with possible exception of Hillary Clinton, who paved the way for professional women in their own right to become First Ladies)...

    Mrs. McCain, to give her credit, is polished looking and professional herself. But I just can't shake that Stepford Wife feeling I get when I see her on TV standing by John, looking vapid or cross-eyed - her eyes look so strange, perhaps it's a result of her stroke....poor girl.

    I like her, but I'd rather see Michelle, fiery, controversial Michelle - in the White House - with Obama for President. With all due respect to McCains and their followers....

    • Posted By: Jewels27 @ 06/28/2008 5:03:50 AM

      To "notroubleatall1963" : "No offense," but what are you babbling about? You say all these backward/mean comments about a woman you never met and then have the nerve to *back peddle* with fake compliments such as "she's probably a nice lady..." and "...I like her." How can one type things such as "she looks like a Nazi," or "she looks/acts like a Stepford wife" or "...she's two dimensional..." but still add that you "like" her. You obviously Don't like her so why would you add that? Are you just stupid, or do you feel guilty and feel the need to add fake compliments after insulting a total stranger? Maybe it's just me, but I don't insult people and then compliment them afterward. That is simply ludicrous as is your thought process. And what in the HELL is wrong with fair hair/fair eyes?? I'm multi-ethnic (European, Pacific Islander, Native American) and don't have these traits but the rest of my family DOES (my mother's side, my mom and sister). Does this mean I should disown them because they're fair?? If that's your thought process, then you're more screwed up than I thought. You're probably just jealous because you look like ---- and Cindy doesn't.

    Earth to Bass pro wake up girl you don't have a clue watch this video and shut the hell up, also look up the Iraqi Liberation Act of 1998, there you will find Weapons of Mass Destruction mentioned a few times PRE-BUSH, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5_L0SZiScQ You make me want to vomit.

  • Posted By: Bass Pro @ 06/27/2008 9:07:31 AM

    Tthe Supporters of John McCain are willing to send Young Women and Men to Iraq to DIE in Iraq, while knowing that Bush, Cheney, Rice, Powell and Rumsfeld cooked up phony evidence to get support for the invasion. They have trapped themselves into killing soldiers to continue Bush' term with McCain as his proxy in the Whitehouse. They're circling the wagons to protect their despicable idols. Knowingly sending someone to die in your place for false reasons in the lowest form of cowardism. How can a person do that. Thank god the Republican Party is on the decline. Soon it will be relegated to third party status and the yellow dogs will fade into the sunset.

    • Posted By: RetiredMarine @ 06/27/2008 9:37:38 AM

      OK bass pro, you want to make the allegations, how about providing evidence? This will be comical considering intelligence reports from several countries were involved before the invasion of Iraq. So come on you breeder of hatred and deception, back up your claims

      • Posted By: Bass Pro @ 06/27/2008 9:51:07 AM

        How could a REAL retired Marine support John McCain. Wasn't it he who declared that there were no remaining MIAs in Vietnam? As for the evidence, nothing anyone could point out to you would change or forgive your complicity. Willing to send soldiers to die just to gain the whitehouse. Some hero!

        • Posted By: RetiredMarine @ 06/28/2008 12:24:39 AM

          seems to me that congress (rep and dem) voted to send our men to fight (myself included). McCain was not the president at the time either. But somehow you are trying to rewrite history to support your weak a$$ comment???? See, some of us lost best friends in this conflict. We gave our blood sweat and tears to support and defend the constitution. We did so freely and willingly because we do love our country. Then there are the armchair quarterbacks like yourself who feel they know everything and second guess. I sure am glad you weren't around and in any power when our forefathers decided to have a revolution. Hell, with people like you the British Flag would have still been flying high over here.

        • Posted By: Bass Pro @ 06/27/2008 10:11:29 AM

          I hope your failure to reply means you're researching McCain's blocking of further MIA investigations. In 1987 a private group led by a Marine colonel estimated that at least 100 MIAs were alive in Vietnam. Semper Fidelis and leave no one behind was their mantra. McCain has failed to uphold the basis Code he once fought for.

          • Posted By: RetiredMarine @ 06/28/2008 12:19:30 AM

            These are typical comments from someone who has no evidence... "oh you wouldn't believe it". In case you haven't been up to date with my postings, I am neither republican or democrat. I think party politics is stupid. I do not necessarily support McCain but I definitely do not support Obama who would turn us into the former Soviet Union if he had his way. It isn't about picking a person based on one issue. In this election it is about who would do the least harm to the country. That extreme far left candidate called Obama is not someone I would want in our highest office. Since I have only two choices, I have to take a bite of the least foul part of the crap sandwich. Now you, you appear to be a blind follower of meaningless teleprompted speaches. You also seem obliged to do what the "party" says. This pretty much leave you in that candidate of mindless braind dead cronie - as you try to refer others must be who don't support your views. As for the immediate reply, some of us have lives, jobs, etc and can't be at the computer 24/7 to chat with some midless idiot who wants an immediate response to his nonsense

  • Posted By: Bass Pro @ 06/27/2008 10:36:41 AM

    Retired Marine
    If you think I would vote for a man who would continue to send soldiers to their death solely to obtain the support of the mouth-breathing 23%ers that make up the ultra Right wing of your party, you're mistaken. He and you know the war was cooked up. He and you know he cannot win without the wacked out wing of your party. We're not talking about wars that were justified here and you and he knows that too. Neither of you were in on the faking of the evidence to justify the invasion. You both are in on it now. You didn't mention the MIA statement, why not. No Real Marine could condone that. A couple of months ago McCain's Marine son came home from Iraq. McCain seized on the moment, saying that all he saw at the start of his tour were IEDs and at the end of his tour he was handing out soccer balls. since then we've seen almost an every other day story of our Bravest Young Solsiers being killed . Do i have to tell you what killed them. Mostly IEDS

    • Posted By: RetiredMarine @ 06/28/2008 12:12:21 AM

      Bas pro, I must agree with Dave... YOU ARE AN IDIOT. You talk of trash that you have NO concept of. If you say he knows everything was manufactured or created... then show us some evidence. All you do is throw around accusations with no substance to back it up. Were you in these "secret meetings" listening to them fabricate things? What about the rest of the world? Were you in their meetings as they "Fabricated stories?" No., you are a brain dead idiot with an alligator jaw and a canary a$$. Probably never served a day in your life but boy you can spout off at the mouth on things you know nothing about.

  • Posted By: ericdrexil @ 06/23/2008 11:44:25 PM

    I don't plan to vote for either of these gentlemen. Perhaps I should vote for the man with whom I disagree less? The "man of great character" quote is really sharp. A man leaves wive and kids, to marry much younger rich woman. If you look in the dictionary, I doubt you will find that as a definition. Obama and I agree that the sun rises in the east: beside that? He is a great speaker and I am impressed that he won his party's nomination. His party now defines marriage as two people who wish to form a union. When will they get around to three people who want to form a union? Why limit this wonderful freedom to just "people"? Yes, it appears I will be sitting this one out.

    Wow, our economy is a wreck, people are losing their homes, education is no longer affordable, we are in a war, gas prices have sky rocketed, and all people want to do is run down the looks of the two possible first-ladies and make sexist remarks!?!? I can see why Michelle Obama isn't proud to call herself an American, if this message board is an accurate reflection of American's views, I'm not so proud to call myself an American either.

        Lori, so now you dislike Obama? Or is it that you automatically dislike or hate anyone with any type of friendly or close association with Hillary Clinton? Why do you hate her so much? has she ever done anything to you personally?

    • Posted By: NeverSurrender @ 06/25/2008 2:23:11 PM

      This message board reflects the bias of Newsweek. Most of the bloggers here are Obama supporters. Don't expect an intelligent debate, mostly name calling and sexist comments. Try US World and News Report for a more civilized debate of the issues. I support Hillary, too, but will vote for John McCain.

      • Posted By: Nins @ 06/25/2008 11:25:04 PM

        Wow, Never, I think you should read more of the comments before you make sweeping statements. About 15% of the people on here are Clinton supporters, 5% Libertarians, and the rest are evenly split between Obama and McCain. Oh, and one hundredth of one percent are "concerned" Canadians.
