Why the MSM giving McCain a pass on not releasing wife's taxes?
Has his campaign said if they will ever disclose those tax returns?

1. Good question. I thought the same thing when I read it this morning!
How can we ask our media "spokespersons" to please address this question?

I hear crickets...

2. Come on. McCain gets a pass on *everything*!
He's so very old, and it's mean to beat up on old people. He probably just forgot about the tax returns of his multi-multi-millionaire wife, the one that he dumped his other wife for and who financed his whole glorious political career. He may have dozed off after finishing one of Cin's fabulous home-cooked family recipes! We'll ask him about the tax returns when he wakes up.

4. Maybe it's because they feel sorry for her since she's a drug addict and a drunk? nt

5. They've filed separately for about 25 years and have a pre-nup.
Also, they're using Theresa Heinz-Kerry as a model; she didn't disclose hers entirely either.

7. What happened at the debates the other night is just the beginning
Edited on Sat Apr-19-08 06:11 PM by Marlie
The MSM will cover for the Republican candidate every way they can and completely demoralize
the Democratic candidate, thus the very reason we have had the worst fool in the World, President
of the US for the last eight years. They will try the same thing again and if the American
people fall for their crap again, we're simply screwed or should I say screwed more. Corporate
America wants a Republican President and they own the MSM.

8. Because they are none of our GD business?
What ever happened to privacy in this country?

If there is anything I actually respect Mr. McCain for it is this: his willingness to tell the press "no."

"No, I will not take part in your "faith forum.""

And "no I will not allow you to invade my wife's privacy."

I wish Clinton and Obama had said the same thing, to be honest.

9. Well said!

:thumbsup:

Tell them NO! Make it loud and clear. And do it in a forum that the media cannot ignore.
