[quote]In 1994, years after she'd claimed to have kicked her habit, Cindy McCain decided to come clean to the world about her addiction to DRUGS. She granted semi-exclusive interviews to one TV station and three daily newspaper reporters in Arizona, tearfully recalling her addiction, which came about after painful back and knee problems and was exacerbated by the stress of the KEATING FIVE banking scandal that had ensnared her husband.

To make matters worse, McCain admitted, she had STOLEN THE DRUGS from the American Voluntary Medical Team, her own CHARITY, and had been investigated by the DEA

But the real story was about her efforts to keep that story from coming to light, and the possible manipulation of the criminal justice system by her husband and his cohorts. The irony is that Cindy's secret would have stayed secret if John McCain's heavy-hitting lawyer, John Dowd (of D.C.'s Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld; his most recent claim to fame was serving as co-counsel for fellow partner Vernon Jordan during impeachment) hadn't heavy-handedly pulled out all the stops to protect the McCain family.

Dowd tried to get back at the man on Cindy McCain's staff, Tom Gosinski, who had blown the whistle on her drug pilfering to the DEA. But in the course of trying to get local law enforcement officials to investigate Gosinski -- Dowd and the McCains considered him an extortionist; others might call him a whistleblower -- Dowd set in motion a process that would eventually bring the whole sordid story to light. When that maneuver backfired, the McCain media machine went into overdrive to spin the story.[/quote]

Unlike the Clintons, his spouse has no interest in running the country. So what is your point?

[catholicinsd]

Well, if elected McCain will be about 72. If, God forbid it would happen, our nation doesn't an Edith Wilson who once stole drugs to support her habit.

Seriously, the longer your live the more time you have to make mistakes and sin. If your smart you live long enough to repent and start over.
Who are you voting for? Tell me if there is anybody in existance that meets your high standards except Jesus?

Stealing drugs form a non-profit charity to support your drug habit is more the just a sin.

[rachael]

and acting like you are above others is a sin as well.

[catholicinsd]

I'm not acting like I'm above others, I just think we can do better.

And with that comment, dear friend, I am no longer reading any of the tripe you spew.

I never once said that the affair did not occur, nor that it wasn't immoral. You have a hang up on the age difference, and actually mentioned it [i]more[/i] than the affair.

I love it.

It's just amazing to me how much someone's political loyalties (and I do mean political loyalties, not just a matter of right and wrong!) shape what we choose to make an issue, and when we choose to make it an issue.

I don't think Cindy would be moving her husband's hand like Edith moved Woodrow Wilson's hand; the chief of staff would probably just have the presidential double stand in for him (for those of you who get the reference).

So people are unable to repent and change? Are you alleging that she is currently abusing and stealing drugs? Or do you just enjoy digging up scandal on people who aren't liberals?

You can repent and change, however the stain lingers.

[Mercy me]

If she has broken the addiction and stayed clean as it appears that she has then I don't see what bearing this has on the election. Actually, it says more about McCain for staying with her through this trial in her life.

[Ash Wednesday]

And remember folks, only those nasty conservatives have lingering stains!

Well John McCain isn't the best choice for the Republican nomination. The Repulican party can't say it is the party of morality with him at the helm.
