For that matter, Kerry's wife in 2004 didn't release her tax returns and the Democrats had no problems with it.
Fact check here Kerry's Wife did release part of her tax return. Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama one of these two will be the first lady and should be vetted. The problem I have with the GOP is that Michelle did come out and explain what she meant in that comment but they did include that in the ad did they. Now Cindy McCain has a dark past and she better be ready in the General because like it or not some groups are going to be asking some pretty tough questions.

That is because the Dems do not feel that they have rules to follow and things do not apply to them. Only to everyone else!

I think when a candidate's spouse is out there making speeches then what she says is fair game. If Obama wants her to be left alone, she should stay home with the kids. You can't have it both ways.

Don't forget, Obama himself is off limits. If you don't support him, you're obviously a redneck racist with a crappy job whose into Jesus.

Bring it on. If Dems want to trash or even question McCain's wife, they better be prepared for Republican's concerns about Obama's wife. And this isn't a matchup Obama will win.

I would not hire a person based on their college thesis, nor would I base my choice of president on the fact that the spouse of a candidate wrote a college thesis that I did not agree with.
A non-college graduate would not know this. Maybe the poster has now learned something.

We'll see if McCain sticks to his statement about not liking the use of these tactics.

Second time, at least, we have asked for documentation from this poster and have, to date, received none.
