OMG!!! Cindy's rich and distributes beer!!! The world may come to an end due to conflict of interest in a beer company merger.

Of course selling state secrets to China for campaign contributions is perfectly okay.

My dear friends ...



Who here wouldn't like their wife to own a beer distributorship?

[cpdiii]

If the wealthest 50% of Congress were to step down, the Congress remaining would be solidly Republican.

[Liberty Valance]

Scandalous!



Let's ask Sam Adams or Ben Franklin what they think ...

[Wiseghy]

If politco’s don't use their own money, they have to ask others for it. Is it better if an office holder is beholder to donors?

We all know how McCain feels about asking others for money. It is the basis of his work on finance reform.

Guess the Dems figure they can flip a Teresa Heinz on McCain.

However, Cindy is no Teresa.

[ProfoundMan]

There are a lot of Freepers who are just beside themselves that McCain doesn't pounce on every opportunity to slam the Democrats and Obama at every opportunity and it gets a little tiresome sometimes. There are probably a thousand little hit pieces like this in "Draft" form in journalists' files across the globe and all McCain need to is say one little thing out of place to have them come cascading down on him (and us).

To be sure, McCain is hardly my first choice, but I do think we need to be a little more cognizant of the political reality he has to operate under.

So far, it appears he has the press thing down pretty good. I just wish he had the conservative thing down as well...

If it were me, I’d say “hell yes my wife is beautiful, rich, and loves guns, God, and beer - I’m the luckiest guy on the face of the earth!”

I don’t think I’ll ever make it in politics...

[DGHoodini]

Typical...Liberals hate the successful...unless they are drunkie junkie Hollywood perverts, or lying thieving Democrat politicians.

[swarthyguy]

I irritated the hell outa some Obie types by pointing out how lame the Dems are: Kerry marries a ketchup heiress, while McCain gets a beer one. How cool is that?

Beauty and the Beer!

George Soros’ wealth is definitely fair game.

[hermgem]

Make a comparison with Swift Boat captain John Kerry who married into a fortune and was directed by his bread giver during his election.
No such interference on the McCain side, only silent support and presence.

[SuziQ]

Simmons said that shows that McCain is "not in touch where most of Americans are. That month where he was spending $750,000 on credit card debts, it was from March 2007 until the beginning of 2008, middle of 2008. And that's when they were spending all the money of credit cards. They would not have been able to keep the John McCain campaign alive had he not had this personal wealth."

How silly. I don't remember CNN OR the DNC getting all hot and bothered when Terayza's fortune was helping to fund John Effin Kerry's run, OR being concerned about possible conflicts that the business that she inherited from her deceased husband would be partly regulated by the Food and Drug Administration.

If they go after her over her episode of addiction, it will backfire against them... Also, the more blue-collar people realize that she’s basically the one who delivers their beers, the more they would like her.

[WilliamReading]

Crap, Obama just said yesterday that he would not attack Cindy McCain. That pledge lasted less than a day.

[FlyVet]

The GOP can easily embarrass the Dims if they want to play that game. There are plenty of filthy-rich Dim politicians. I’ll bet Cindy’s percentage of charitable contributions runs way out ahead of, for instance, Queen Nancy’s. The Heinz Foundation might give away a lot of money, but it’s mostly left wing political groups.
