I offer my apologies in advance if I have done this wrong... I don't do it often.
Now, if McCain would only do something to impress me . . . the global warming commercials sure don't do it!
Si.
Didn’t she go overseas to get a designer baby without telling John? Seems to be all the rage amongst the elites nowadays.
Apparently you don't know the story if you think this was a 'designer baby' shopping spree aka Angelina Jolie.
Bridget Mccain The Wonder Child
Bridget McCain is the adopted daughter of John McCain and Cindy McCain. Bridgets adoption story is quite interesting. Cindy was visiting third world countries with Mother Teresa and other medical personnel. They happened to visit an orphanage in Bangladesh to try and help out the needy children. There were two little baby girls – one with a heart problem and the other with a severe cleft palate.
Cindy immediately decided to get both of them back to US with her. She was primarily concerned about their medical treatment and their survival. The McCains decided to adopt Bridget McCain and their close friends adopted the other little angel, Mickey.
Therefore, we see that it was primarily Cindys idea to adopt Bridget McCain. In fact John was not aware about this decision. It came as a bit of a shock to him. Cindy just returned and asked John to say hello to his new little daughter. But John is happy with the decision and a proud father. He says that Bridget has enriched their lives. She's a wonderful child, a complete part of our family and we love her, said John. Also, the other children of McCains accepted Bridget well.
Bridget McCain had become a sort of an issue during the campaign for the Republican Presidential nomination in South Carolina during the year 2000. John was criticized and was accused of having an affair with another woman. There was lot of prejudice and the reason for accusation was because Bridgets skin was darker.
Bridget McCain was called as illegitimate black daughter of McCain born to a prostitute. This had a strong effect on the conservative South Carolina republicans. John said, a lot of phone calls were made by people who said we should be very ashamed about her, about the color of her skin. Such hurtful and vile things were said about her. But thats a nasty side of politics and one should try to ignore it.
However, the African American organizations have a policy against interracial adoption in spite of there being an awful lot of African American children who could be adopted but this objection stands in the way. But now slowly this barrier is breaking down and people seem to be making progress. The McCains had to go through an extraordinary process, rather an intrusive process by the bureaucrats to adopt Bridget McCain. The adoption agency officials came to McCains home rifled through their drawers and even asked John about his sex life.
This was an insight into a sick girls life that was destined to die in an orphanage in Bangladesh. However, Bridget McCain proved to be a miracle child – blessed by Mother Teresa.
FYI, when Cindy McCain “flies” John McCain around the country to his rallies, she doesn’t do the piloting, since she does not have a pilot’s license. What it means is that he gets the use of her corporate jet at greatly reduced costs.
Why on earth doesn’t McLame have his interesting family and accomplished wife front and center in this campaign (and I don’t mean in a hokey, phony way)? Cindy and the family could earn a lot of points with people who don’t care for McQueeg himself.
It might be.... if she had one.
Why do articles about her claim she got her pilot’s license if she doesn’t have one (she says she does)? Wouldn’t this be easily disproved?
I wouldn't mind getting "close" with Meghan, if you know what I mean.
From your tagline....looks like YOU spend a lot of time trying to castrate the McCains.
Give up and accept nice things that are said about people....maeks you sound small and petty.
I just want to find more of her original recipes, so I could care less if she was out shopping for babies.
Articles, to my knowledge, have never claimed that she had a commercial pilot's license as was stated by the poster. They have claimed that she made her corporate jet available to the McCain campaign (which I do not doubt).
Since reading the comments here, I decided to do some research on that. I’ve found she has a private pilot’s license, not a commercial pilot’s license. The comment about a commercial license may just be a mistake of the OP. This may also have something to do with why she is not flying him around herself. If the flights are for campaign purposes, it is no longer private, and thus insurance and FAA regs change.
When people attack conservatism, don't expect me to be very complimentary. McCain has said that the Republican "brand" is tarnished and, with his policies, has pretty much denounced everything it stands for.
This is a conservative forum. If you have a problem with criticizing liberalism, I think you are in the wrong place.
Give up and accept nice things that are said about people....maeks you sound small and petty.
Whether it was "nice" or not is irrelevant. Whether it was accurate was the question. I don't believe the post I responded to was accurate. If you find truth to be "petty", that says a lot about you.
As I stated.
I’ve found she has a private pilot’s license, not a commercial pilot’s license.
Well, she isn't in the public database. Where did you find confirmation? Link?
She’s a PILOT??? That’s the first time I’ve ever heard that.....are we SURE??
How do you adopt your OWN children?? Are these the two men in the military?
