Typical cheap shot from spineless leftists in the MSM.

Here’s the question I’d love to see someone pose to Carol Costello on live TV:

“Carol, you assert that unnamed ‘critics’ are describing Cindy McCain as a ‘Stepford Wife’ — WHO is saying such at thing? Please describe the source(s) and context and justification to support your assertion.”

I suspect that Carol Costello would sputter and babble and be helpless b/c said ‘critics’ are the suppliers of liberal talking points emails such as MoveOn.org and MediaMatters. I am sure that MSM twits like Carol Costello get all sorts of such emailed talking points every day, and she was just spouting what some leftist a-hole told her to say.

Yup...she’s a drug addict who ripped off pills from a clinic, then ruined the person who tattled on her.

Plus, she committed adultery with McCain when he was married to his first wife...the one that raised his kids when he was in a POW camp, fought fiercely for the POW’s and then was in a horrible accident.

What happened to conservatives believing people had to have higher moral standards than pill-popping, thieving adulteresses???

I don’t get it...it’s like we dare not voice Truth anymore.

Yech.

Let’s see, would I rather have the stepford wife or the black panther wife.... hmmmmm....

Her addiction to pain pills does not bother me. A lot of good people go through a lot of pain and can’t handle it and abuse medication. This isn’t the same as a heroin junky in my opinion.

I have to say it does bother me about how they first met. I would like to hear more though because I know these things can be distorted. For instance, the story of Newt Gingrich giving his wife divorce papers while she was in the hospital is false. Of course the MSM would never actually report that is false.

I agree. We’ll be getting two for one for POTUS if they get elected. She’s got a mean face...

Jackie was one classy lady. Too bad she got mixed up with that clan.

Was Obama unfaithful to her? I hadn’t heard that one. Any links to that?

Exactly. She seems to have put that behind her. We need to be careful what we say about people because most folks have something in their pasts that you wouldn’t want listed in a newspaper. We need grace for people.

Nobody knows what another person goes through. We need to have some grace here for people who have had such pain they needed such medications. She seems to have put that behind her. People are NOT perfect and many of us here have things in our past that we aren’t exactly proud of.

We got the PC police roaming the land, silencing anyone who dares speak out. These people have infected the entire process with their PC cancer.

There’s an uncanny parallel here between the Kennedys and the Obamas. Both wives have been shattered by the infidelities of their husbands, which neither, naively, anticipated.

Are you speaking of that guy and Obama on YouTube?

It’s been said Jackie one-upped her dictatorial father-in-law.

She remarked she was going to write children’s books—— mentioning certain titles-—which were put-downs Joe Kennedy used, to throw his weight around.

One Jackie mentioned was “The Donkey Who Couldn’t Fight His Way Out of a Telephone Booth.”

Later Joe K picked up the tab for the pricey designer outfits Jackie wore in the WH.

Good for her! A little blackmail never hurt Joe. He was probably used to it, LOL.

I seldom make long comments on the threads, but when I do I try to do it with reason and some facts to back me up. I am a graphic artist and mostly stick to that.

I also am not PC Police. I am a Catholic who has upheld the values of my faith.

In my comments I did not deny bad behavior [sins, I call them] on the part of anyone. BUT, nowhere in this thread did I see anyone telling people they couldn't voice the truth.

I also voiced the truth when I cited good things that Cindy McCain has done and posted links.

Now, as a good Conservative Christian, I don't believe there is anything wrong in also telling the good things a fallible person has done. How is that wrong? Did it keep anyone else from stating their views?

John McCain is a flawed person, he caroused and had many affairs before he met Cindy in 1979.

I, also, was a great admirer of Jackie Kennedy and loved the whole Camelot idea. Years later we found out it was a sham.

I still liked Jackie, a Catholic, but she spent the last years of her life in an illicit love affair with diamond dealer and industrialist, Maurice Templesman, who was still married.

I am not meaning to offend anyone on this thread, that is not my nature. I try to get along and I don't call people names. We all have our own views about things and I respect that.

Also of interest, last evening JimRob posted a thread and he now agrees to support John McCain inspite of 'intense' dislike.

Another off topic tidbit;

Maurice Templesman supposedly is one of the top funders of Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton. He was in Angola just last week seeking loans for a multimillion dollar diamond deal.

I admit I don't find Blogspots to be the best source of reliable material but there were other sites on Google.
