Sorry for the digression, but I agree with your assessment. McCain is a useful idiot for the Dems right now, but as President, he's just another R and they'll do everything they can to destroy him. The Pubbies pee themselves if a congressman gets caught taking three ketchups when he only needs two anyway. What are they going to when it's McCain and they don't even like him?
I was talking about French President Sarkozy, and the picture of the new first lady of France, his THIRD wife
That is the old tactic of the liberal left. They take their direction liberal groups like moveon and they focus on a gut his family and everyone he is associated with with their smears.
All you have to do is see what they say about Bush and everyone in his family and who he is associated with and this is what they will do again and again and again with.... direction from the top of course.
This is just who they are.
After a certain point, you quit counting!
it’s beer..............
I don’t have anything against McCains wife and think she is handsome for her age.
Don’t much care for him though
While I agree, this is yet another wakeup call of what a disaster a MacCain nomination will bring. The moment he is the nominee, slowly but surely the Keating 5, his affair with Cindy, his age, his face will all be fair game. This simply can't be done to Romney and is another strong reason to save us from McCain with a Romney nomination.
Great! The Democrats, and the media, aren't going to have a field day talking about do people want a junki, thief with her own grudge list as First "Lady".
I know he can't lift his arms above his shoulders -- either as a result of his crash-landing or his abuse at the Hanoi Hilton, or maybe both.
I really like one rule of the American Kennel Club, which works as a metaphor for humans of several levels: Working dogs should never be penalized for honorable scars.
I think that pic gives a beter view ... um, of the guitar.
I'd pluck it.
Yeah, but when they attacked Nancy Reagan, Reagan went after them hammer and tong. Gotta respect Ronnie for that. The media hates Republican First ladies. One reason, they are ALL a hell of a lot better looking than Hillary Clinton, lol.

I did receive a phone call for W asking for my vote.
My recollection is that the McCain campaign had a press conference with one woman who had a 13 year old son had been traumatized by an eeeeevil BushPushPoll. Of course, the media couldn't’t follow up with the kid because he was a minor.
My belief is that a cash strapped McCain Campaign invented this incident to play on the Journalists fears of negative campaigning.
He basically threw “red Meat” to the anti conservative journalists on his Straight Talk Express in hopes of getting around the clock positive coverage for him and negative coverage for Bush.
Thanks, to all of you who answered my question.
I think part of the backgrounds on Cindy’s drug use was that it happened during the Keating 5 days when McCain was trying to worm his way out of that mess.
At the same time McCain started an investigation to indict one of the worker’s at Cindy’s organization for stealing the drugs. It then turned out that the Feds discovered it really was Cindy and McCain worked tried to cover it up using one of Jordan Vernon’s law partners.
IMHO, Cindy McCain is the victim of John McCain’s ego driven desire to be the POTUS at any expense, including his family.
You don't recall correctly. McCain was injured in the crash of his plane.
I guess I misspoke... I didn't mean that his arms were broken in torture... I recalled (and have since gone back and checked) that both of his arms were broken when he was shot down. What I meant was that his broken arms were used by the NV evil creatures as part of his torture.

She's still hot.
They managed to portray Nancy Reagan as bitter and controlling, nonetheless. That was probably the view of her that most people accepted at that time.
I studied this kind of technique way back when I was in school. Why do businesses continue to spend billions on advertising, when nobody really believes it? Well, they think they don’t believe it, they think they see through it, yet they still buy the product.
The same with the media. Nobody trusts them, but they still mostly get their views of the world from these liars, and a lot of it rubs off on even the most skeptical readers and listeners.
I agree 100%. The press is pro-McCain in his contest with the other Republicans. Once he's nominated the opponent will be Obama or Hillary, and the MSM will feel completely different about him.
