John McCain: Family Man?

[laststeamtrain]

...let's turn to a 1999 Arizona Republic profile of McCain (which does not appear to be available on-line):

"He prides himself on his personal integrity yet admits he wasn't faithful to his first wife, Carol, who was injured in a horrific car accident while McCain was in Vietnam....

"McCain needed a divorce from his wife of 14 years, Carol, who had been badly injured in a car accident while McCain languished in Hanoi.

"The marriage had been strained by his years of absence, along with McCain's admitted affairs after returning from Vietnam.

"In February 1980, less than a year after he met Cindy, McCain petitioned a Florida court to dissolve his marriage to Carol, calling the union "irretrievably broken." Bud Day, a lawyer and fellow POW, handled the case.

"I thought things were going fairly well, and then it just came apart," Day recalls. "That happened to quite a few....I don't fault (Carol), and I don't really fault John, either."

1. and he married Cindy the following month.

2. He's an opportunist...through and through!

He's very lucky/fortunate/or whatever? that Cindy took him in. She didn't see the "fortune-hunter" soul in his body apparently!

McCain is also very "lucky" that he married a women of integrity (first time around)! She (first wife Carol) refuses to speak ill of him--even to this day. (We should all be this lucky!)

Go Carol--you are a true hero in all of this!

3. If Michel Obama had a drug problem in her history

Borack Obama's campaign would have never started.

4. Has ANYONE in the MSM addressed Cindy's

former drug problem?

I had to find out about it here.

It is commendable that she got rehab. However, the details of the story are sleazy.
