Cindy McCain Calls for Repeal of 'Don't Ask'
The New York Times ^ | 2010-11-13 | Ashley Parker

Posted on 11/13/2010 5:20:56 AM PST by rabscuttle385

Speaking in a video for an ad campaign aimed at ending the bullying of gay teenagers, Cindy McCain, the wife of Senator John McCain of Arizona, broke with her husband and called for a repeal of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.

In a new public service announcement for NOH8, a group devoted to promoting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, Mrs. McCain faces the camera and says: “Our political and religious leaders tell L.G.B.T. youth that they have no future.”)

“They can’t serve our country openly,” says Mrs. McCain, whose husband, a Republican and veteran of the Vietnam War, has described the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy as “imperfect but effective.” (His office did not return a phone call seeking comment.)

She has no clue what she is talking about. How much time did she spend in the military?

——How much time did she spend in the military?——

A better question would be “should a gay person be making such judgments?”

And people wonder why the MSM is dying. Would people really buy the NYTs because they want to hear what John McCain’s daughter thinks?

Not true, they can open bath houses, antique shops, hair salons, interior design centers, L.G.B.T. bars...anything they want, just not serve in the military.

Thanks to the ignorant voters of AZ, the McCain family is still quoted by the state-run media, to the detriment of the nation. Were Sen. McCain heading out the door after the elections, we wouldn’t have to listen to the malignant opinions of this family.

Cindy is the wife, the one who was addicted to prescription drugs and got caught stealing them from the non-profit she founded.

She makes a strong argument, but I will not make up my mind until I hear what Megan’s thoughts are on the subject :)

One of John McCain’s wives knew what it was like to serve as a Military wife. It wasn’t Cindy.
