First Cindy McCain’s finances are seperate by law from John McCain’s. Second it’s a generic investment fund which many, many people have. Third if you’re so interested in holding our elected officials responsible then try doing it to Obama once in a while.

“...then try doing it to Obama once in a while.”

I must have missed the Freeper Fairness Doctrine where is it required that one must post with equal time about the candidates of both parties. Here I was thinking that as long as we abided by JimRob’s rules, we conservatives got to pick which threads to post on and what to say on them. And if others didn’t like it, they were free to disregard or go elsewhere.

Or do you have the same issues with that pesky First Amendment that your candidate does?

FYI, I had the same issue when Teresa Heinz Kerry declared she would not release her tax returns, as did most all freepers. She ultimately relented and released some information. Presidential candidate John Kerry was her spouse and benefited from her wealth just as Presidential candidate John McCain benefits from the wealth of Cindy. When we know as fact that Cindy was involved in partnerships with Keating while her husband "showed poor judgment" in the Keating Five matter, it makes her financial information all the more relevant.

As John McCain wants to impose all sorts of restrictions on U.S. energy companies through global warming regulation, and has stated that he wants a Kyoto-like treaty whether India and China participate or not, I find it interesting that Cindy has her money tied up in China and India energy interests.

You may trust politicians--I don't. Especially those who have shown questionable judgment in the past.
