McCain Mailer Features Adopted Daughter Who Was Slimed In 2000

AP:

Republican presidential candidate John McCain is using an image of his adopted daughter in a new campaign mailing in the state where push polling involving the girl helped derail his White House bid eight years ago.

In a mailing showing up at homes Thursday, the Arizona senator's wife, Cindy, is pictured holding a baby in a blanket as she walks with a woman from Mother Teresa's orphanage.

"Cindy cradles little Bridget, a baby she and John adopted in 1993 from Mother Teresa's orphanage in Bangladesh. Bridget has been a great blessing to the McCain family," the mailing says. "Today, Cindy and John work together to promote adoption and to help women facing crisis pregnancies."

What continues to baffle me is why John McCain - whom we all like to promote as a straight-talking man of the utmost integrity - aligned in 2004 with the same forces, who slimed his daughter in 2000. One really wonders about this man of such great convictions.

BEING BLACK IS BEING SLIMMED?

I STILL think it is a shame that up until now, noone has commended the man for promoting adoption as an alternative to abortion? Can anyone intelligently argure that adoption is NOT a better alternative than abortion??

"The mailer was intended to talk about John McCain's pro-life record"

"PRO-LIFE"? ... THAT'S A LAUGH ...
coming from the "BOMB BOMB BOMB, BOMB BOMB IRAN" guy!

"PRO-LIFE"? ... THAT'S A LAUGH ...
coming from the "US should have BOMBED Auschwitz" guy!

BOMBING seems to be their FAVORITE past-time, present-time, and future-time!?

But ... BOMBS don't kill people. PEOPLE kill people!?

PLEASE peddle that PHONY "PRO-LIFE" propaganda elsewhere!

Stay safe, healthy and happy,
Love, Loretta

Why is McCain only using the adopted child in his ad?? Where are his other children? Maybe he does not want to remind people that he divorced his first wife and married his current wife in a matter of days. How many children does he have from his two marriages? I do not like him, no matter what. That tight little "smile" of his is creepy.

McCain - Mr. 100 years in Iraq, is a sold out bush bot. He's been programmed, given this list of to do's, and if he's a good boy, he may even get Rove to come over and help him, since Jewels looks like a goner.

He is for *continuous war*.

Is that what WE want? We KNOW thats what he'll deliver.

If John McCain cannot stand up for his wife and daughter, why would he protect the American people?

This is the same P.O.S. that hugged Bush after having his adopted daughter used against him.

Anybody but McCain and the rest of the Republicans. And Hillary too, for that matter.

South Carolina push poll 2000: would you vote for McCain knowing that he had fathered a black child?

South Carolina push poll 2008: would you vote for McCain knowing that he had fathered a muslim child?

[WilliamWallace]

Whatever works, eh?

[KarlRoves3rdchin]

uh, just so you know McCain's daughter isn't the blond (half his age) standing next to him...
