Election 2008

That's no lady, that's John McCain's wife

Michelle Obama has been under quite a bit of media scrutiny lately, from her terrorist fist jab to the rumored (and non-existent) "whitey" tape, and the Obamas are preparing for even more wife-attacks to come. And yet, we never hear too much about the other potential first lady. So as a public service, from now until the second Tuesday in November, every time Michelle Obama is unfairly attacked or portrayed by the media or a Republican-backed 527 group, 23/6 will remind you of this terrifying and true fact about Cindy McCain.

Cindy McCain NOW is stealing from Hershey.

Cindy McCain plagiarized another recipe. This time McCain is trying to WIN the potential First Ladies' Bake-Off Contest underway and organized by Family Circle Magazine.

Cindy McCain submitted the Hershey Kitchen's recipe for Oatmeal/Butterscotch cookies as HER OWN.

Link to Cindy McCain's recipe she submitted to Family Circle:

It is about time someone started bring this up?
Will she steal again? Is she still on drugs?
What would she take from the white house that does not belong to her?
Why does she let her husband get away with calling her those awful names?
Can she be trusted?

To the commenter that wrote, "On the up side Mrs. McCain's successful rehab is a positive message for those who are currently suffering from an addiction."

... are YOU sure she was successful? Have you seen how glassy and glazed over her eyes are lately?

John McCain abandoned his first wife. He threww her under the
bus because she was hurt in a car accident. Cindy McCain is
a drug addict. She is a crook and a thief. Imagine Senator
O's wife carrying all of this baggage. The wonderful pundits on CNN and Faux News would be having a field days telling us about it. Imagine Michelle O having investments in
Sudan-Dafur, and only two weeks ago selling that stock to the
tune of two million dollars. We would never hear the end of
it. No ford, McCain and his goons should have thought about
playing nice before they slammed Michelle. What is good for
the goose is sauce for the gander.

The problem is that the media, and uninformed people, spread rumors and lies about Michele Obama. They don't like her because she's black.
BUT, Cindy McCain actually broke the law - she stole drugs from her own charity and people actually feel sorry for her. She's blonde and rich and a republican, and that makes it okay.
Stick to the facts if you're going to report about these 2 ladies - and don't let racism and hate enter the picture.

As I scan the comments I am taken aback by the seeming double standard by many posters. They are saddened by Obama's/Democrats willingness to reveal Cynthia McCain Limbaughs drug addled record of stealing from a charity and that stealing being narcotics...But are okay when Neocons go after Michele Obama when she uses inapproriate phrasing in an answer to a question. When they lie about The Obama'a being Muslim, The lie about him being sworn in on the Qaran. The lies about lapel pins and the pledge. All of this is fair game ...even though it was found to be all lies.....
Then...Someone tells the truth about Cindy McCain abd her close extramarital affair with Oxyxontin and imbezzlement and that is ...OUT OF BOUNDS????
It is either all relevent or not...you cant have it both ways....Democrats would be wise to play hardball. It is of no value to bring boxing gloves to a gunfight.
I know it is not part of Baraks nature to attack. but.... being ready to go to toe with evil is the only way to combat the Karl Rove like campaigns...
I hope he has a WARROOM of responders ready to put together counter attacks within an hour everytime the Neocons attack.
I hope the oldschool strategist are investing tons of money in investigating the specifics of Cynthia McCains past.We have to be ready for the swift boat style attacks. I hope we get the patients that Cynthia McCain took medicine from and detail the horrible pain they endured as a result of the theft of their medicine...and play that angle for all it is worth....Lets Bring tanks to the gunfight!!!!!

It should also be pointed out that not only did Cindy McCain steal the drugs but also "Used and Abused" them as well. To the point of a family intervention.

"It's not too important" though ... yet

It is very sad that the Obama campaign has nothing better to do than to dig up Mrs. McCain's addiction problems from many years ago...maybe this is why Mrs. McCain was reluctant for the Senator to run for POTUS....
Mrs. McCain seems to have admitted her problem, sought treatment, and made amends.

Why pretend to be informative , when you are really just being mean.

On the up side Mrs. McCain's successful rehab is a positive message for those who are currently suffering from an addiction.

This story is not from the Obama campaign, it's from this comedy site. Also, it's not about her addiction, it's about her theft. And the only reason we're bringing it up at all is so the negative coverage of both potential First Ladies is fair and balanced.

We care.

Really, don't you think that it's time that Americans grew up??? Instead of looking for saints and purists in their leaders and politicians and their mates, hasn't the time come to realize that they too are only huMAN (certainly as evidenced, never of the female gender) and pick the most CAPABLE candidate. Politics, leadership and TOTAL morality do not go hand in hand. We all make mistakes, we all evolve, stop being naive, none of us are perfect and no one can live up to such expectations. The time has come for the American voter to let go of the "saviour syndrome" and elect someone who can deal with the practical problem solving, lead and do minimum damage. Leave the lofty to the theologians.

Thanks so much! They want roll in the mud, then let's do this. For someone with so much negative baggage McNoBrain should've reign in those kinds of attacks, quick, fast and in a hurry.

C'mon! Give a girl a break! Shouldn't your treatment be reserved for those whose wealth surpasses 100 million? And look at the poor girl's recent credir card balances. C'mon...
