Time to shut down the Obama's wife attacks

[NJmaverick]

If you find yourself hearing some right wing nut job attacking Michelle Obama, just bring this up (with the qualifier of; "if you want to talk wives...):

Cindy McCain, 40, told them that she had been a drug addict for three years. From 1989 to 1992, as the Keating Five made headlines, she was addicted to Percocet and Vicodin. Worse, she had stolen pills from the American Voluntary Medical Team, a relief organization that she founded to aid Third World countries.

"More than anything, I wanted to be able to face my children, for them to know I wasn't lying to them," she said at the time. "They're too young to fully understand right now, but someday they will."

Cindy blamed two back surgeries and the Keating Five scandal - a blend of physical and emotional pain - for hooking her on drugs.

Things started to unravel when a Drug Enforcement Administration audit found irregularities in the charity's records, prompting an investigation, Cindy told the reporters.

In 1992, as the Keating affair surfaced again during McCain's run for a second Senate term, Cindy's parents confronted her about her drug use.

To avoid prosecution on drug charges, she would enter a federal diversion program.

1. I like and trust Cindy McSame even less than her husband.

And I can't stand even the sight of him.

2. so instead of attacking one guy's wife

you'll suggest they attack another?

How about calling the RW an asshole and be done with it?

8. RW's need to know that bringing wives into the equation

is a losing proposition. They are used to being called an asshole, so that doesn't phase them.

3. Please. Either you're for attacking spouses, or you're not.

Stay positive!
Peace!

4. The only valid point to make is whether McCain supported any legislstion

that would have sent less affluent/connected offenders to prison.

5. We're going to dismantle John McCain quite easily.

6. Two wrongs do not a right make

10. Do you want to see a Country with President McCain?

We can't let the right wingnuts win another one, by fighting dirty.

[anigbrowl]

13. We don't have to fight dirty back to win.

It plays into the GOP's hands.

17. We took the high road

They took the low road to the White House. THere is too much at stake, we can't let that happen again. We owe to future generations and the world, to do what it takes.

7. Picking on Cindy McCain for her drug problem is disgusting

You should be ashamed of yourself.

11. The drug problem is the tip of the iceberg.

Stealing from her own charity to fuel her drug problem is the bulk of the 'berg.

[NJmaverick]

15. then talking bad about Michelle, saying she loves America

After all from her perspective it's a great place. She committed crimes that someone of Michelle's race would spend year in jail for.

[Beaverhausen]

19. Sorry- doesn't make it right. It only highlights the problem we have with drug addiction

If you want to bring that topic up, be my guest.

[NJmaverick]

12. Not her drug problem, her theft problem

Remember this is the bitch that looked her nose down on Michelle saying "I don't know about her, but I love this Country..." Of course she loves this Country, she got away with crimes someone of Michelle's color would have spent years in jail for.

9. Time to shut down the attacks on fellow Democrats

On a Liberal Democratic website.

14. Most bizarre Michelle attack

came from my rw cousin-in-law who said that Michelle's words about it being the first time in her adult life that she was proud of her country was a result of MUSLIM brainwashing.

I'm so glad I am not related by blood to this woman.

Somehow I think drug addiction in this woman's mind is far less of a problem than MUSLIM brainwashing. :crazy:
