John McCain was an adulterer-Cheated on his handicapped wife with an heiress 24 years his junior.
That doesn't sound very presidential, now does it? And he wasn't a young man at the time, he was 5 years younger than Barack is today. Think about it, what if Barack had done something similar 5 years ago? This is relevant.

I don't want a President that is that heartless and selfish.


and don't let me get started on the Keating 5 debacle. he was older than Barack is today on that one.

1. You know what they say about why people pick spouses so much their junior.
Cindy takes a lot of crap from him. Its kind of disgusting. And he is old enough to be her father.

not sure if it's his daughter, or his squeeze

btw, you can often find out about pix if you right click on them, then check 'properties'

5. Character has everything to do with it....which is why McCain is running on his status as POW.....
Edited on Sat Aug-09-08 02:53 AM by FrenchieCat
which happened years and years ago. He left his handicapped wife for a woman 1/2 his age after that.
The behavior of grown up men does seem to matter. You realize that McCain was a middle aged adult at the time, don't you?

8. Sure but...
I'll say the same thing I said when Bill got busted. If you keep the economy rocking, keep the bad-guys off of our shores, get our kids a good education, go to church and keep me employed, I'll vote for you.

Like I said, keep the bedroom stuff to yourselves. McCain, Edwards, Clinton and whoever else. I don't care.

10. But he has an "R" after his name so he gets a pass. A Dem
with McCain's personal history would never have gotten this far. Don't expect the corporate whores to provide any factual McCain biographies. They've gotten the memo and will act accordingly.

18. Anderson Cooper solemnly intoned into the
camera that this would "hurt the Democrats." You just know he was suppressing a huge grin. Whores all.

14. The Main Stream Media won't find anything wrong with McCain, but they'll sure publicize John Edwards
McCain is running for President and no mention of his marital indiscretions that are orders of magnitude worse.

John Edwards is a private citizen, who holds no public office, and is not actively running for public office, and he is on the evening news.

What's up with this? Could it be a little bias from the MSM? (rhetorical question, no need to answer)
