Sorry Cindy McCain, It's Time to Take the Gloves Off

[FourScore]

I really don't care if McCain's trophy wife is proud of her country. She is just another GOP Stepford Wife as vacant as the previous ones. Whoopie for anorexic-looking Cindy McCain in her red $5000 Yves St. Laurent power suit, with her triple string of cultured pearls, her bleached blond hair and her shiny new face-lift telling us she's proud of America. Prouder of America than--- hmmmm, let's say Michelle Obama.

John McCain follows the usual "family values" profile of Republican social climbers. He divorced first wife Carol in April 1980 and married Cindy one month later. Infidelity? Hell no!... they were just "friends."

Cindy who is 18 years younger than Gramps McCain and she paid for McCain's first campaign for Congress in 1982 with loans from her well endowed trust fund. Her father's business and political contacts helped gain her husband a foothold into Arizona politics.

Cindy's biggest claim to fame is in 1989 she developed an addiction to perocet and vicodin, two powerful morphine based pain killers. In 1993 she was caught stealing percocet from supply of the American Voluntary Medical Team, a charity she founded to provide health care and medications to war victims in underdeveloped nations. The DEA was investigated her and with the intervention of her well connected parents and McCain himself, Cindy got off the hook with the usual 90 day trip to the posh rehab. The American Voluntary Medical Team folded shortly after it ceased to be a supply point for Cindy's opiate habit.

The DEA agreed to keep Cindy's little misadventure in Lala Land from the public, but then Cindy went and terminated the guy who reported her to the DEA and the details of Cindy's sordid past as a suburban trophy wife junkie all came out when the fired guy filed a wrongful termination suit against Cindy.

A few weeks after Cindy came clean about her addiction the Variety Club cancelled her Humanitarian of the Year Award. Boo hoo!... Another respectable Republican mother of the Harper Valley PTA goes down. This is just a little Peyton Place of Republican family values and Cindy's a Harper Valley hypocrite.

John McCain kept Cindy under wraps during his bid for the presidency but now that she's out there telling us she's way prouder of America than Michelle Obama, So I'm doing America a service by telling the truth, and nothing but the whole truth about Cindy.

Michelle Obama is proud of America too, but she's not Republican, garden club, percocet munching ex-cheerleader like Cindy. And she doesn't steal drugs from charitable organizations.

Michelle never had a trust fund like Cindy and she grew up under humble circumstances on Chicago's South Side. Her father was a pump operator and she managed to overcome her disadvantages as a working class black woman and attend Princeton then she graduated from Harvard Law School and met Barak at a law office where they worked together, shortly after Barack receive his law degree from Harvard. Michelle has paid enough dues to be far more credible than dozen stoned out Republican trophy wives when she tells you she is proud of America. America should be proud of Michelle Obama.

The whole thing is a bunch of nonsense. Most people have the common sense to understand what this political posturing and xenophobic flag waving from the McCain camp is all about. Call me harsh, but I'm tired of Republicans wrapping themselves in the flag and smearing perfectly decent Americans. It's time to take off the gloves.

3. I'd bet if you got Cindy McC to talking, in an open-ended context; she might

show some somewhat alarming traits.

What kind of person is deeply motivated by Un-ending War and may, in fact, identify UeW as an essential element of that of which she is "proud", i.e. Amerika? Murder for Sale called Patriotism.

Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran!

4. She embazzled money to support her drug habit.

5. Let us not lose sight of the fact that Mr. Straight Shooter...

threw over his first wife for Cindy.

Cindy being from one of the oldest and wealthiest families in Arizona.

Hence, the beginning of McCain's political career.

Cindy's abuse of prescription drugs has been well documented but needs to be revisited, often.

Let the games begin.:evilgrin:

6. Still I do have sympathy for the McCains over this issue:

"...a whispering campaign that he had fathered an illegitimate child… Just last year, Bridget, who was born in Bangladesh and is now 15, learned about the episode by chance while doing a Google search of her own name, and went to her mother in tears…

"She wanted to know why President Bush hated her. And I had to explain to her that it wasn’t the president that hated her, that no one hates her. It was a very maturing process for her. I had to explain to her how nasty campaigns can be… if that were to even bubble its head up again, we’d knock that flat."

7. I feel sympathy for the men and women

who will die in Iraq tomorrow in a dumb war that should have never been waged. While brave men and women fight a senseless, useless war in Iraq, the Taliban gets stronger in Pakistan, a place McCain thinks we should get permission from before we strike, but thinks a misguided war in Iraq is perfectly fine, fine enough to wage for at least a hundred more years. Does anyone realize that these warmongers are complicit in all of this? We should have been in Pakistan, not Iraq. The people we are fighting in Iraq are rag tag groups made up of people who used to be plumbers, bank tellers, gas station attendants, etc. The enemy is elsewhere, but these war mongers don't or won't see that. Why did we take our eye off the ball in Pakistan? I feel sympathy for the men and women who will die in Iraq tomorrow and the day after that, the 20 year old kid, the mother and father back home, the wife who will become a widow, the child who won't have his or her mother or father after tomorrow. That's who I feel sympathy for, not some elitist warmonger Senator and his drug addicted trophy wife.

8. I said I had sympathy over that one issue, and my sympathy mainly is for the adopted daughter who

isn't responsible for Insane McCain.

[Thrill]

9. She asked for this. No more are the Democrats going to lay down and be kicked

by these Repuke fuckers. Use it against her. They wouldn't hesitate to use it against the Dems

[EffieBlack]

13. Ain't that the truth?

Can you imagine what they'd be saying if Michelle Obama had a history of drug addiction and theft?

Of course, it wouldn't be an issue since, if his wife had such a history, there's no way that Obama could have even THOUGHT of running for president, since, like Jackie Robinson, he has to be pure as Caesar's wife.

10. "America should be proud of Michelle Obama" - YEAH!

I expect jingoistic empty flag-waving from the the right. But it's really pathetic how so many DUers have bought into it.

Percocet is damn tasty, too!
