Reply #67: You're saying more people would be moved to forgive Cindy? [View All]

[JackBeck]

Cindy McCain was dating John while he was still married. How many women do you know would forgive the 'other woman' for that? The divorce rate is pretty high in this country. In most cases, I'm left to assume another woman is involved. In some cases, yes, another man, but for the most part, most data shows that it is because of another woman.

Sure, she then became the mother of a growing family, but how many mothers do you know steal from their OWN children's charity to feed their addiction and then use their husband's political influence to cover for their illegal activity?

You actually think this would garner sympathy from women voters, or for that matter, independents?

Lindsay Lohan is a kid and most adults and her peers will cut her some slack from her youthful indiscretions.

But Cindy McCain was an adult when she did these things. She should have known better. And when adults fuck up, contrary to what you postulate, we hold them to a higher standard than we do the kids. We're the ones who are supposed to be examples, not the kids.

Ultimately, though, I'd love to see Cindy McCain's addiction problems debated and discussed on shows like The View, Access Hollywood, and Entertainment Tonight, just like when we are forced to watch Lohan's problems.

But until then, you have nothing.
