Cindy McCain may be a slobbering, twitching, head-bobbing drug addict, but at least she's proud of an America where some people would rather see her in the White House than some uppity negress who won't stay in her place.

So, I guess those of you posting this type of "talk show scandal" crap remind the rest of us of why many competent and great people avoid politics.
I agree, thank God these people aren't indicative of the people out in the real world. I hope!

You can do better than that. You are falling into the troll trap. I thought you were better than that. Was I wrong?

I really hesitated to do this but it really is funny based on the supposed tape floating about.

When/if the Obamas take up home in the White House will Michelle hang a sign outside stating "No Whities Allowed"?

Looks like we have another troll. Maybe it's time to close this thread?

I think there is plenty of ammunition to fight McCain with besides bringing up his wife's personal problems.
Cindy McCain was addicted for almost 4 years she didn't, as you surmise, realize she had a problem and got help. Her charity (AVMT) was being investigated because Cindy, as I previously mentioned, had gotten volunteer doctors to write prescriptions which she filled for herself in patient's names. Apparently, one of the doctors went to the DEA, which in turn launched an investigation of Cindy and her charity.

My point is this, she was forced to get help, she never initiated the rehab process. The whole rather tawdry episode speaks to a lack of character and moral values on the part of Cindy McCain.

It seems to me that if we hold Mrs. McCain to such high standards regarding her past drug use, then Obama and his admitted use of drugs, including cocain, should also be considered. I think this is just a sad example of American politics hitting the bottom of the barrel. I do agree that Mrs. Obama seems much more like a first lady than Cindy McCain, only she won't be the president. What a choice.

Excellent point. You can bet, if they target Cindy, Obama's drug use will be great fodder. Also, there seems to be more than just drug use. I thought that BET chairman had hinted that he also sold drugs.

Heck Bush admitted to cocaine use and heavy alcohol drinking, but this thread is about Cindy McCain. Please address her indiscretions and stop trying to change the subject.

Cindy McCain got hooked on a pain relivers prescribed to her after back surgeries. She has had high blood pressure issues and health issues in general. Boy you people are pathetic, really pathetic!
