oh brother! That reeked of the circa 1970 "some of my best friends are black" bullshit. That was so incredibly transparent. It actually made me laugh out loud!

1. I'd like to know why McCain totally keeps his kids hidden
I've never seen one of them at a campaign event.

17. I did read that she prefers not to be involved
But maybe that's just a cover. Still, I don't think we should assume anything...it's quite plausible that his daughter values her privacy and does not want to be in the spotlight and that's her right.

9. Yes!
Weren't you dying to hear Kerry say just that?

He's so in love, it's sort of embarrassing to watch. They need to get a room, he and McCain.

"I, I know John McCain. I've been with him for 20 years, private and public. This man does not have a bigoted bone in his body. His wife and he adopted a baby from Bangladesh, who, who they love."

14. Info about all of McCain's 7 kids
Yes, three of them are well into adulthood and I'm sure busy with their own lives, but three of them are in their 20s (plus the 17-year-old adopted daughter) and he never appears in public with any of them, from what I can tell. I knew he had more than just the one adopted daughter, but I didn't realize how many.

22. More juicy bits about ANDREW hehe
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6571120&mesg_id=6571120


http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS51176+2 ...
Silver State Bancorp (NASDAQ:SSBX), the holding company for Silver
State Bank, announced today that Andrew K. McCain submitted his
resignation today as a director on the Boards of Directors of Silver
State Bancorp and Silver State Bank, citing personal reasons.


It's kinda sorta looks like father like son - so many similarities to The Keating 5.

Just sayin' ;D

15. Seems to me many a racist has sought to house dark skinned
people in their households......Eh?

Just because he doesn't have her scrubbing floors, picking cotton, or chained to the floor, but rather provided for her as an adopted child, hardly preempts his being racist.

:eyes:
