"How Cindy McCain was outed for drug addiction
When an attempt to get tough with a whistleblower backfired in 1994, the McCain spin machine went into overdrive, and the candidate's wife confessed to problems the media was already poised to reveal."

1. no she didn't.

whoops. did my argument just keep this provocative thread kicked to the top? My bad.

:evilgrin:

[SwampG8r]

2. yes she did

there will be someone by to defend her soon tho from my recent experience

[PretzelWarrior]

3. if I was religious, I'd say her eyes prove she's the devil

those are some serious antichrist eyes. but since I'm not religious.....I'll say it's the years of drug addiction and amoral theft from charity. and being married to a blood drinking old man.

17. Well its not like she had the Whistleblowers

career destroyed!

Oh wait.... according to this article she tried.

my bad.

4. I'm from AZ, so this is old news to me.

However...

Sharing this old news with the entire country at this point in time is fine with me!

:evilgrin:

[ChazII]

5. Yes, this is almost ancient news

to those of us from Arizona. Yet, it gives us a glimpse into her 'character'.

[SwampG8r]

6. and his too

the person who blew the whistle was ruined i heard and ruined at mccains order

[grantcart]

7. was that before or after she had an adulterous affair with McCain and broke up his marriage?

[AZBlue]

22. After.

She's a real piece of work.

8. personally I wouldn't even care if McCain himself stole drugs from a charity

as long as he'd been clean for a decade or two

is Cindy clean? how long?

ya'all do what you want... but for ME?

it's a non-issue... addiction is a disease that can be arrested

I don't think it's a moral issue... the machinations and games people play to get drugs and cover up their use, is all part of the primary problem

[PretzelWarrior]

10. that's all well and good unless it's your drugs she's stealing

you don't want a woman with such access to power and under so much pressure and who has a history of drug abuse. I truly believe Bush tried to get over his alcoholism and cocaine abuse at some point (probably for less than honorable motives of seeking power). But, the pressure of the job as president has clearly taken its toll and there is NO WAY that guy hasn't hit the bottle hard on a few occasions. That would be the thing explaining the fake stories about his face beat to hell because he choked on pretzels (thus my name).

Cindy McCain having a history of drug abuse and theft from charities goes to character and is hugely important to me.

[Cha]

19. But, then he went

dry drunk on us.

[emilyg]

11. I agree with you.

A miracle. lol

[Exilednight]

13. It's not her drug use that bothers many, it's the hypocrysy of the rethugs .........

who keep running around and saying that drug abuse is a choice and not an illness. Someone needs to ask, both Cindy and John, if drug use is a disease, or a choice.

[crankychatter]

9. I'll also say... I don't care who's screwin who, when or for how many nickels

it's just a non-starter

[MaineDem]

14. It bothers me if a man can't stay loyal to his wife

Again, it goes to character and I wonder how that will carry over into his decision making as President.

And, yes, I faulted Bill Clinton for the same thing.

[cboy4]

12. I have a lot of empathy for what Cindy McCain has gone

thru with her addiction.

[TexasObserver]

15. Yes, Cindy McCain, who is worth $100 mil, stole drugs from a children's charity, to get high

Stole them for her friends, too. Forged the names of workers, too.

[liberalla]

18. Yup. It's so much easier when you're RICH...

You don't need to break into homes and steal stuff, or get a gun to hold up a gas station or convenience store...

The crimes aren't violent, but they're still crimes.

[K Gardner]

16. You know, this is one of the things that puzzles me. Most of the candidates wives that I can

remember from past years have been "suited" for the job, so to speak. I simply can't even look at this woman and see how anyone could imagine she is fit to represent our nation.. fit to be First Lady. If I didn't know anything about her, I'd feel the same way and I can't put my finger on why.

[DebJ]

21. I agree. When I look at her, I just get chills. Stepford Wife thing.

[PBS Poll-435]

20. She was also on drugs during her pregnancy

[27inCali]

23. on drugs during her pregnancy

as a father, that's all I need to hear to fucking hate the bitch.

[PBS Poll-435]

24. It is one of the most selfish things you can do.
