Cindy McCain's half sister is planning on voting for Barack Obama, she tells Usmagazine.com.
"I'm not voting for McCain," Kathleen Hensley Portalski tells Us. "I have a different political standpoint.
"I'm voting for Obama," the Phoenix resident says. "I think his proposals to improve the country are more positive and I'm not a big war believer."
Portalski, 65, and the potential first lady, 54, have the same father: Jim Hensley, the founder of the beer distributor Hensley and Co. that Cindy McCain now chairs.
In an interview with NPR News' All Things Considered last week, Portalski said she felt "like a non-person" after Cindy McCain described herself as an "only child."
Portalski's mother is Hensley's first wife; Cindy McCain's mother, Marguerite Hensley, also had another daughter from her first marriage.
"She's kinda cool, standoffish," Portalski tells Us of her half sister.
Portalski also doesn't expect Cindy McCain to make an effort to reconcile their relationship.
"She never has, and I doubt that she ever will," she tells Us.
Portalski's son Nathan, a 45-year-old aerospace machinist, is also backing Obama.
"I wouldn't vote for John McCain if he was a Democrat," he tells Us. "I would not vote at all before I'd vote for him.
"I question whether Cindy is someone I'd want to see in the White House as first lady," he [Nat] adds.
An old story, from the same magazine that smeared Sarah Palin on their cover and then denied it.
It all depends. They need to feel like they can relate to McCain. How many huts does McCain own?
Ok? What about Barry’s eight step brothers and sisters who are they voting for? Oh wait they are all living in huts in Africa or some other place.
When ever I hear about these Republicans or family members saying that they are going to vote for the other guy stories by the MSM/LIBS ... makes me wonder if it was a result of Coercion ? .... in other words,, MSM speak : “ either you shut up or support our guy, or else we bring up dirt on you.. and it doesn’t matter if it is true or not, we make up the news or inaccurate facts “
So from the sounds of this bunch, they need to vote for Obama. And Cindy needs to ignore them.
Who gives a flying.....
So! There is always at least one nut in every candy bar.
Then FR needs to tinker with the "search button"..key words in part or all..
Feel like I am being scolded in the classroom, yikes..FReepers are just too serious to night..(some);)
Right but like the poster above you said it was from “US Magazine”. Looks like a pattern.
Evidently she does just that...note they enjoyed the birthdays and Christmas!!!! As I said "Out of the Woodwork" or from "Under the Floor boards" as the saying goes..
She must not have treated her dad very well to only get 10K, she doesn’t sound like a very nice person.
They'd have to go to Kenya and look through all those huts.
Runs from the Flames.......oooo0000000oooooo.......
And this whole article has what to do with the price of eggs in China?
Tori Spelling only received 100 grand from her daddy worth 500 mil. However, shes not complaining..but they were close.
dunno, what is the price of eggs in China?
And, why do we care what Cindy’s half-sister thinks and who she votes for?
Just sour grapes grabbing headlines that no one really cares about.
