Cindy McCain's Half-Sister: I'm Voting For Obama

Cindy McCain's half-sister tells Us Magazine that she won't help put her famous sibling in the White House:

"I'm not voting for McCain," Kathleen Hensley Portalski tells Us. "I have a different political standpoint.

"I'm voting for Obama," the Phoenix resident says. "I think his proposals to improve the country are more positive and I'm not a big war believer."

...

Portalski's son Nathan, an aerospace machinist, is also backing Obama.

"I wouldn't vote for John McCain if he was a Democrat," he tells Us. "I would not vote at all before I'd vote for him.

"I question whether Cindy is someone I'd want to see in the White House as first lady," he adds.

Portalski went public with her connection to the McCains after hearing Cindy say on the trail that she was an only child.

"I'm upset," she told NPR. "I'm angry. It makes me feel like a nonperson, kind of."

"It's terribly painful," Portalski added. "It is as if she is the 'real' daughter. I am also a real daughter."

The Washington Post subsequently reported that Cindy has another half-sister who seems to have slipped her mind:

Before her marriage to Hensley, Johnson had a daughter, Dixie Burd, by a previous relationship. Burd, who is much older than Cindy, could not be reached for comment.

Cindy's VERY RICH family needed a politican in the family...Who better than a POW Republican. They were used and ALLOWED McCain to be used...too SAD!

[FreeThinkn1]

I think there are some dark dark stories in Cindy's past. Why would a woman with so much money and power put up with a misogynistic toad of a man who calls her a c-nt in front of strangers? Talk about low self esteem.

[MIVOTE]

LOL! I didn't know she was as old as old John. They both need to go take some Ginger. LOL

[rcwblessed]

Cindy is 54 (ish)... 18 years younger than John.

[Mischief]

WOW! First he can't remember how many homes they own and THEN she can't remember how many family members she has (half or otherwise). I'm a senior and I've NEVER had a senior moment like that. I have one sister (I think).

[lacasarosada]

oh dear, i'm affraid i'm confussed? i recall cindy saying she was an only child. does that mean the children from a 2nd marriage aren't family? but that can't be, the McCain's are big family value voters?

[MufsMom]

Contrast that with Barack Obama whose "half "sister is front and center and Joe Biden's family where the Jill is referred to by Beau as his mother and the three children have no competition over who is the "real" child. Wow, loves me those Republican family values.

Cindy "Always Proud of My Country, But Not My Sister" McCain.
Elitism at its best!!!!
Eat those words John McCain!

[SugarMan]

In an interview with Katie Couric last week, John McCain said his rich father-in-law was a role model!!! LOL-- but he neglected to say he was a convicted felon... ha ha ha!!!

Role model indeed - for the crooked elite. WoW - all those houses and she won't share with her sister. shame!

[Veratruth]

AND, I bet Katie Couric knew the whole story and was scared to ask. I will never forget how she tried to trick Obama, asking him three times if he thought the surge worked, is working or has worked, and then edited out some of McCain's unfavorable remarks. Remember, most MSM are not among the 95% who will receive tax cuts if Obama is elected.

[patianneb]

Wow BOTH of these people have all sorts of problems remembering much of anything! Houses are bad enough, but SISTERS?

Sorrowful, just sorrowful.

[bandillero]

Obama Campaign, This an Ad begging to be made. Pls don't disappoint. Please, please, please. Barbie's half-sister should star in an ad about why she is voting for Obama

[americanwomaninpa]

and then lets do one with Obamas brother.

[maddie0001]

You mean the one where he says:

"They were portraying the wrong story, I"ve pretty much had a good life. I think I"ve lived OK. There"s not much I"ve lacked in life. I don"t live on a dollar per month, that"s not logical. I"ve never lived in the streets. Those guys were tarnishing the Obama name."***

**************
I'm looking foward to that too!!

"Obama's brother sets the story straight"

This Kathleen Hensley Portalski needs to be put into an ad as soon as possible. It would totally counter the McCain ad by Debra Bartoshevich.

[Einstein44]

So,so sad for the half-sister... Now we know where the McCain family stand for :Blood is not thicker than water.

[Brebro]

I have to disagree Einstein. So sad for Cindy and John. Isn't it telling when some one so close can't bring themselves to vote for her half sister's husband for President of the United States?

Blood Shouldn't be thicker than water If one has to compromise the truth or ones values!!!!!!!!

Not Surprised. The half sister sounds pretty sharp to me!

[sherylsworld]

Cindy McCain is an over the counter piece of trash......

[progressivelady]

I love it she is voting for Obama, lol

[Workinwithu]

Let the choir sing

[AnotherMike]

She may forget houses and siblings, but I guarantee you Cindy McCain knows exactly how much money she has, down to the running dollar.

There's the McCain family values for you.

[InformedVoter08]

EXACTLY!

[ATruthBeKnown]

Running penny thank you very much ...... LOL

[TrumanHugh]

She also knows how many Vicodin she has in her purse. Her plastic surgeons are on speed dial. Now, if she could just find a dentist to whiten her husband's teeth.

McCain Not Able.

[emmaspeaks]

does she know how much her credit cards are run up and not paid?

[bujeeboo]

You have to wonder. What kind of dad raised Cindy? He sounds horrible.

[nikky]

WELL HE WAS A CONVICTED FELON

[CaliTLC]

Really. This sounds good. Do tell.
