Is...

"Is adultery relevant?"

I was furious that a bunch of old white hypocrites who have done the exact same thing, and worse, were throwing Bill Clinton from the White House. They knew full well that if the same inspection of their undies were done, they'd be out on their asses too.

So, does McCain's adultery with Cindy matter?

Well, yes. It's totally different circumstances**. His first wife was sick and injured in a car accident and he basically dumped her for some hot chick with a whole lot of money. Well, and Cindy didn't have any problems waving her cootchie in his face and encouraging him to do the adultery thing.

Basically this is trailer trash romance and well by god Cindy deserves to wear the scarlet letter for a while longer. Just slumming to get the guy who was a 'legacy' and destroyed how much government property in his career and then, with your money and personal jet, propel him to political office I think makes her a 'public figure' and as such, she is 'fair game' for investigations and journalistic forays into who and what she is (or isn't).

You know a lot by the decisions that a person has made in their life. John was Mr. Legacy. Not unlike George Walker Bush, although McCain's relatives actually served in combat meaning that their spawn had to do the same. He was a lackluster soldier, apparently just following the paces and getting greased to the good assignments. Although I'm sure that the DOD actually was happy that he was a prisoner for so long, because he couldn't cost the government any more money in wrecked planes and whatever...

John dumped his first wife at a time when she probably needed him the most. He married Cindy what, months after? Cindy whi denies her sister? Who, according to the article, skipped out on the kids for 4 months with some cockeyed excuse of having a stroke and yet hitting the lights fantastic while 'suffering' her 'ailment'.

I generally don't believe half of the crap I read about people but if only half the things I read about her are true, she is a big box of damaged goods. She has major psychiatric issues and I don't think that Freud would touch then if he were still alive.

And yes, I feel that Palin, dragging around her kid is a good idea. I can see it now, out with the Russians and 'Trig' and he has a seizure or something and well, there's president Palin, running out of the meeting... I don't like it. She uses people and her family and son are no exceptions. She probably has a huge list of people that she wants to 'settle some things with' and with her history in Troopergate, she WILL abuse the powers of her office.

So there. Cindy McCain is a public figure. The NYT article points out that John winning would force Cindy back into the DC social circles which she feels she was wrongly excluded from for being John's other woman and trailer trash wife. Sarah thinks that her god wants her to be president to assist in the second coming and probably thanks god that Trig did turn out like the prenatal tests said that he would. She also gets the CIA, FBI and the IRS to help her divine retribution on all of those that have wronged her over the years. That coupled with FISA should be enough to scare anyone. She, and Todd, go for the jugular...

Who thinks that this sounds like a great 4 years?

** I think that Lewinski was a plant. Since Hillary wasn't sick or involved in an accident the circumstances are different. His dalliances are between him and his wife. Yes they show a lack of impulse control but it's really between him and Hillary. John, in effect making the conscience decision to dump and betray his invalid current wife for a hot to trot rich chick and marry her with in months of ditching the first wife is disgusting. It goes to character. You just don't do that kind of shit and get away with it. Well, or at least you shouldn't. It's a scream that the 'values voters' tut-tut over others dalliances and ignore there own members ribald behavior... Larry Craig? Come on! Yeah, he's god's chosen... William Bennett? Mr. '$1,500 on red'. Yeah, I'm sure god is in on the joke... NOT!

If...

If adultery barred one from public office there wouldn't be many politicians left in office...

Yep...

You didn't notice that Trigg is a baby?

Yes and that's what makes it disgusting to me. 'Look everybody! Here's my 'special baby', isn't it cute that I drag him all over the place. Vote for me! Please!'

Disgusting for using a 'baby' as a prop... A way to show that she's 'one of them' and a 'hockey mom' with a mean streak and won't stop at anything to score her points and get back at people... Oh, that sounds like Bush. Great. Another emotional midget as president...

John.

In Nashville? Wow! Cool.

McCain can still win this. Yes he can. Well, yes the dirty tricks department of the Rove 'rat fucking' squad can.

How desperate are they to win? I think you've seen and will see exactly how desperate.

John McCain (the people behind him) really, really, really want to win. Bad...

Really?

Pinky, if the game is "how low can you go?", I think you just won it./blockquote>

Ok and her using it as a prop or more like a shield is better?

Interesting...

It is genetically defective? Right? Old sperm or something like that?

I think dragging it around on stage like a security blanket is just disgusting. If that's low than I accept it...
