Is anybody really surprised that the rabid Obamatons don't like the admirable history of Cindy McCain?

See... all they're talk of sticking to the issues, ignoring the "distractions", not launching personal attacks, leaving spouses and family members out of the elections goes out the window. They talk about the republican attack machine, when in fact the kook-left groups will dig for the least piece of dirt to throw against the fan.

I think she stacks up far above Michelle Obama, the wife who has never been proud of her country up until recently.

Since the loons on here want to attack Cindy McCain for her prescribed medicines then why are we not talking about Obama's years of using illegal street drugs? He was a druggie during is teenage and college years but noone seems to talk about that much.

Did a doctor prescribed all those illegal drugs to Obama? Bet not. Who's money did he steal to buy all the drugs he was smoking?

Obama was a true drug addict, Cindy McCain had medical issues, BIG DIFFERENCE!!

We really do not want a druggie like Obama in our White House now do we?

So you accept we can have a drug addict in the WHITE HOUSE just not one LIKE Obama. What does LIKE equate to if some are acceptable and others aren't? Or did you not mean to use the word like?

I'm not saying she's a bad person but no saint especially after having an affair with a married man...


And proof that not all the wealthy have "worked" for what they have as neocons contend.
So what she is wealthy she has not just done nothing with her life because of it as she could have!
Being addicted to prescription medication and "drugs" of illegal nature are 2 different animals. good try though!

It is really bad that people like the McCain's think we should have a heart for their addictions (and I do) but yet they have no heart for the pain of others in the same situation.
It would be a point if it were not OVER 15 yrs ago!!!! With no continuation of the problem!
There are many who are shown mercy rather than go to jail if they contribute to society. The laws have also changed since the 90's....
I am sorry you dont feel that helping children in foreign countries in pain or keeping them from being blown up is worthy of the statement of having no heart for the pain of others because she does demonstrate that it is not only lip service for her!

Your trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill and it wont work. She didnt break the law, she didnt do anything but take the meds her doctors prescribed for her.
Uhm.. I think being gay is a crime and people should be punished for it ( Liberals protect the gays ) but I dont post it everywhere like you do her drug addiction. So whats the difference? Having a mental problem being gay that cannot be fixed or having a medical problem that can be fixed.
First of all doctor shopping is a crime. It does not matter if the pain killers are legally prescribed or not. And there are hundreds if not thousands of Americans serving long prison terms for LEGALLY prescribed pain killers. You want an example?- here is one:
Pain Relief Network » Paey Given Full Pardon; Crist Orders Him Freed Today

This man was injured and permanently disabled in an accident and was legally prescribed pain killers but because he doctor shopped he was given a 25 year mandatory prison term and served 3 years of it under Jeb Bush- whos own daughter Noel Bush did the SAME THING in the SAME STATE and served NOT ONE DAY in jail for it! Rush Limball did the same thing in Florida too. Even a Republican like Gov Christ saw the injustice here and gave the man a full pardon after the Bushs with McCain's FULL support allowed him to remain in a maximum security prison for 3 years in which he was in so much pain that he often layed on the concrete floor of the prison cell as roaches crawled over his face.
So you damn right Cindy McCain is going to be an issue. We are going to make damn good and sure that America knows about her ILLEGAL drug addiction and her ILLEGAL doctor shopping and why she got away with it while hundreds of Americans waste away in prison like Richard Paey!
