PS

PS: Note to Cindy Mac.... My son served 15 months in the Bush/republican/McCain hell hole of Iraq. He was not guarded by the SS nor was he given a pansy job like standing guard for the high ranking military types in their protected fortress.

He returned alive and was immediately relieved of all his medical benefits, etc., told to run along now. We don't need you any more. His job was gone. So far he hasn't found a rich, drugged beer heiress to marry.

The Ultimate Stepford Wife

It was bad enough listening to McCain whine that, "It'snot fair" but lately he drags out the doped up Stepford wife to stand behind him, nodding her silly head at everything he says, followed by a few comments by her.

I'm not sure which thought is more disgusting..... having McCain and the Alaska Disasta as president & vp or having this bimbo as first lady. Yee gods, hasn't this country been punished enough for allowing Chicken George to squat in the White House for 8 lonnnnnnnnnnng years?

Cindy is OK.

Cindy McCain is right and she needs to keep speaking out. Our sons and daughters who serve deserve better than Nobama.

Cindy McCain goes after Obama

I have to agree with the article: Cindy McCain is definitely becoming an attack dog. If you look at some of the recent close photos of her face, the "dog" part is becoming even more prominent. Well, I guess she has to stand by her man even if he's called her an f'ing cu_t in the past. True love for the masochists in the world!!

kick off the shoes or drugs

After watching the Cindy McCain's clip I am convinced she is back on her drugs.

Her eyes murkie and glossy, her lips tight and angry, her voice shakey. This is what the drugs do and not only the drugs but the inherited anger that her husband has injected in her.

As far as ME WANTING TO WALK IN HER SHOES,NO THANKS, i'd rather walk in my mocasins.

This party should be on trial for racism.

Or better yet for themselves being the TERROIST.

McCain's Women

Funny, isn't it. The women in McCain's life - Sarah and Cindy - are playing the role of attack dog. They are concentrating on what they want us to believe are the other guy's negatives, not on their guy's positives. Given his rotten temper, and his abuse of Cindy in public, I don't think McCain likes women. I think he sees them as useful, decorative objects. This is not a man I respect or want to have as my president!

Hey, I'D like to see her trade shoes with Obama, too!

The mental image of her clunking around in a tall man's wingtips is almost as funny as the one of his destroying a pair of her $700 Blahniks by trying to shove his feet into them. We need a good laugh sometime during this campaign, don't we?

Turning a negative into a positive

Come on people, let's mobilize and turn McCain's words against him (and raise money for Obama along the way):

This one is voting for THAT ONE!

Friends who share

Alaska is noted for the number of meth labs it has. Apparently Sarah Palin has decided to share some of the 'local product' with Cindy McCain.

here's the response ad

in the first debate obama said

at times both had to vote against the troops...one b/c the bill included time lines....one b/c it didn't.

how gracious.....

SOMEONE SHOULD RUN THAT SEGMENT NEXT TO CINDY'S.

it not only corrects the error...it shows the contrast of nastiness to graciousness

Who, me?

Every time someone in the McCain camp says something unpleasant and counterfactual about Obama, you can be sure what they accuse him of is exactly what they are doing.

Bush has for eight years been telegraphing what he's about to do by announcing the opposite. He promised, unbidden, one day to do something great and expensive for education. The next day he defunded education by huge sums.

(You can see I am playing a little fast and loose with the exact information, because I no longer remember. It can be found, no doubt.)

Similarly, the McCain cabal always projects onto Obama the thing they themselves are doing. HE is running the dirtiest campaign? Oh please.

@ guinness

Michelle Obama was her usual complete class act on both Larry King and The Daily Show. She's too smart to get drawn into the McCain/Palin cesspool.

Thursday, October 9, 2008 12:41 AM

Oh please

Hey, Cindy, I'm a Blue Star Mom as well. And I'd rather eat broken glass than see the fate of my son decided by your husband. My son feels the same way. He'll be voting Obama.

@ Brian-Seattle

Totally disagree. He's NOT a good guy inside. His tone, no eye-contact, not shaking hands, his hateful, negative stump speeches, his "approval" on all the lying ads against Obama, the constant lying in general...no, he's not a good guy inside. That's the misnomer about McCain. He's a prick. He left his disabled wife while still married to her for chirssakes! http://www.americablog.com/2008/07/mccain-was-still-married-to-his-wife.html

His "that one" last night at the debate? No, actually, he's not a good guy.

trophy husband

Catspajamas, you got it backwards. Cindy McCain is not John's trophy wife, he is her trophy husband...

Really sad

that McCain has gone down this path. I would just like for him to tell his campaign staff to get bent and go out on his own again. He's a good guy inside I think, just like Bush in some ways, but he's being manipulated by the people running his campaign just as Bush was manipulated by his staff. Of course this speaks to his ability to be a real leader but I think we are already past that.

Chris Matthews said that he thought McCain wasn't comfortable bringing up Ayers last night in the debate probably because he never wants to. I don't think McCain really likes all this negative crap but he's not in control of his campaign anymore. This is what happens at the end of a campaign and you are losing.

So, tell them to stuff it, go out on your own and lose gracefully. That's what I think he should do because everyone knows this negative crap is going to get him no where.
