EXCLUSIVE: Cindy McCain's Half Sister: "I'm Voting for Barack Obama" [Out of the Woodwork...]
US ^ | Thursday August 28, 2008 | US

Posted on 09/05/2008 9:19:11 PM PDT by fight_truth_decay

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.

I see now why Cindy considers herself an only child.

"..dunno, what is the price of eggs in China?"

I don't know let's find out. I'm bored.

May 24, 2007 Beijing

Prices of pork and eggs kept soaring over past weeks on Chinese market due largely to tightened supply and increasing production cost. Sources with the Ministry of Agriculture said on Wednesday that if the prices remain high, the country's consumer price index (CPI), a major indicator for inflation, will be affected. CPI reached the alarm level of three percent in April. Food products account for 33 percent of CPI in China, and meat, poultry and related products, about 20 percent. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, in April live pigs nationwide were priced 71.3 percent higher than a month earlier, and pork, 29.3 percent higher. http://www.jongonews.com/articles/07/0524/16193/MTYxOTM97VpjpKv.html

I see your wacky Clinton relatives link and raise you one:

In August 2001, Tony Rodham was involved in an assault episode at the multi-generational Rodham family summer cottage[15][16] at Lake Winola, Wyoming County, Pennsylvania.[17] A man who claimed he saw Rodham having sex with his girlfriend broke into the cottage and assaulted him; Hugh Rodham and the woman restrained the attacker.[17] Both Tony Rodham and the attacker received some injuries.[18] At a hearing on the case in November 2001, Tony Rodham testified that he might have smoked marijuana with the attacker several hours before the incident.[19] The man subsequently pleaded guilty to trespassing, assault, and making terroristic threats.[16] By 2002, Rodham was in disputes with his former wife over child support payments, with Nicole Boxer saying he had not paid them in six months.[9]

And I think it's fair to say, if memory serves, that Wikipedia cleaned the account up a bit.

Are you talking hundred-year old egg or thousand-year old egg?

" And, why do we care what Cindy’s half-sister thinks and who she votes for? "

Consider the audience this confusion news was created for, it's for consumption for the sheepled masses to believe in.

Just sour grapes after not inheriting as much as her more famous half-sister. Not exactly a wise way to decide on who to vote for president.
