Cindy McCain Unleashed: From Calm to Combative

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/08/cindy-mccain-unleashedbrf_n_133089.html



Cindy McCain, who has largely remained soft-spoken and optimistic during public appearances on her husband's behalf, has joined the attack dogs of the McCain campaign in recent days.

Just as McCain and Sarah Palin and prominent GOP supporters like Rudy Giuliani have stepped up their negative attacks on Obama this week, Cindy McCain took "one of her most personal shots yet at Barack Obama today" during a rally in Pennsylvania.

"The day that Sen. Obama cast a vote to not to fund my son when he was serving sent a cold chill through my body let me tell you," Cindy McCain said in introducing the GOP ticket. "I would suggest Sen. Obama change shoes with me for just one day. I suggest he take a day and go watch our men and women deploying."

In general, the McCains have avoided discussing their two sons' military service during the campaign. Younger son Jimmy McCain is a Marine who has already served a tour in Iraq. His brother, Jack, is at Annapolis.

Palin later invoked her own son's service overseas in suggesting that Obama did not understand the cost of war, comparing him unfavorably to McCain and his military heroism during Vietnam.

"God bless him, he spent five and a half years as a POW, and he knows the cost of war because he paid those costs himself," she said of McCain. "And as a mother of one of those troops, yup, that's exactly the kind of man I want as commander in chief."

And yesterday, Mrs. McCain made waves and stunned political observers when she stridently claimed that Obama had waged "the dirtiest campaign in American history."

Her newfound aggressiveness is obviously sanctioned by the campaign - a McCain aide said last night that the Republican nominee "wholeheartedly agrees with his wife's assessment."

1. First she let her hair down, and now she's on the warpath...

2. You know, John McCain was exactly right...........

She is a trollop and and a ....

[madaboutharry]

3. The McCains are ugly people.

This is a negative and ugly family. They have weird body language around each other. There is no love that you feel is in this family. Say what you will about the Bush family, there are decent relationships among them. With the McCains it is just creepy.

4. So I guess she wants to talk about drugs then.

5. Did she let her Vallium prescription lapse?

6. Cindy, get a grip. I was a "Waiting Wife" during Vietnam. My husband

flew a lot of flights and managed to stay in the air, unlike John. My husband came back a different man and your husband came back a "hero" and then did nothing for the rest of his comrads. So, we have all put this behind us...except the Vietnam Vets who didn't have the resources that your family had. Please spare me the bullshit and using your children as props in this campaign. I pray that your children will be safe but it is your party that put them in harm's way. Own up to it!

She's pissed she won't get to use them.

11. She looks like she could have known Lincoln personally.

8. Next thing you know she'll be accusing Obama of having black babies!

"Dirtiest campaign in history"??? Not quite yet, but you're almost there Mrs. McDesperate-- keep flinging!

9. Did John

Give her an Ultimatum??
Maybe be more like my pal "Sarah" or else?

[msongs]

10. cindy = ADULTERER & home wrecker - no wonder she is such a b-word nt

[Imagevision]

12. Palin causing Mccain to try Cindy, Sarah isn't what she use to be?

[votetastic]

13. "dirtiest campaign"

Sorry, but that just doesn't even come close to ringing true, Cindy.

Your husband's campaign probably is getting pretty close, though.

14. There was a shot of Cindy while Palin spoke @ convention. She was rabid...that's the real Cindy.
