In 1979, John McCain came face to face with his future.
He was in Hawaii, attending a military reception. While there, he met a young, blond former cheerleader from Phoenix named Cindy Hensley.
McCain was immediately dazzled and spent the event chatting her up.
"She was lovely, intelligent and charming, 17 years my junior but poised and confident," McCain wrote in his 2002 book, Worth the Fighting For. "I monopolized her attention the entire time, taking care to prevent anyone else from intruding on our conversation. When it came time to leave the party, I persuaded her to join me for drinks at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. By the evening's end, I was in love."
McCain recalls that both he and Cindy initially misled each other about their ages. McCain made himself a little younger, and Cindy made herself a little older. They found out their real ages when the local paper published them. McCain was 43, Cindy 25.
"So our marriage," McCain cracks, "is really based on a tissue of lies."
Early in the courtship, McCain called Cindy from Beijing, where he was traveling with a Senate Foreign Relations Committee contingent. Cindy was in the hospital recuperating from minor knee surgery. She thanked him for the lovely flowers in her room, sent from "John."
What McCain didn't tell Cindy was that he hadn't sent the flowers. They were from another John, who lived in Tucson.
"I never thanked him," Cindy notes with a grin.
After a whirlwind courtship, John asked Cindy to marry him. But there were some details to clear out of the way.
McCain needed a divorce from Carol, his wife of 14 years from whom he was separated.
After McCain's dramatic homecoming from Vietnam, the couple grew apart. Their marriage began disintegrating while McCain was stationed in Jacksonville. McCain has admitted to having extramarital affairs.
That's a lovely story john,how you admit to the affairs you had,you are just the conscience of the Senate.
Not going to step aside John?
Well,Here's an old song I like;)
Surprise meter zero.
WHY THE CAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet Arizona isn’t proud of you, McCain.
ESAD, John.
I wonder how much McQueeg paid the bimbo?
Whatever John McCain is for, I’m against.
Coo Coo Bird McCain Sings the RINO Song...

That old bastards tumor needs to speed up, or at least affect the creeps ability to speak!
STFU Juan!
Damned hypocrite!!
And he knows Roy is guilty????? Geesh!!

Far too many Americans are unaware of this audio which was hidden in the National Archives and only discovered accidentally by someone doing research on something else.
This speech is why those who were in the Hanoi Hilton with John McCain call him Songbird to this day. Listen to the sicking sweet way he rolls over and thanks the “kind” North Vietnamese. There is NO doubt about who is speaking. Save this link and spread around.

She never, ever looks happy. I think he chose someone he could manipulate and be allowed to show off his ego.
There are a few things I hate, John McCain is one of them.
Johnny McCain, the hypocritical bastard should STHU.

John’s our to sink Trump’s presidency. He will mark that as his greatest achievement.
What about the allegations you fathered an illegitimate black child senator? Those were deeply disturbing and disqualifying.
Never been a Roy Moore fan but obviously if allegations alone were disqualifying then anyone could just sling mud to get rid of a candidate.
Every time I read something “new” about John McCain I am stunned that he is held in such high esteem by his colleagues, but then considering who his colleagues are I guess it shouldn’t be surprising.
