DNC Sees Cindy McCain's Wealth as Fair Game

to the uniformed comment that the McCains do not pay interest on their American Express bill. It is obvious that you never had an American Express card. I have the same deal. Nobody pays interest on AMEX Card if it is paid on time. You do pay a penelty if not paid on time. I don't that think Cindy McCain will have a problem with that.

Here are several ways that McCain could fix this "problem":

-McCain concedes now to Obama

-McCain divorces his wife if he wins

-McCain and his wife pledge to sell all of her stock and gives it to the poor if he wins

-McCain and his wife pledge to put their stock in a blind trust run by Jesse Jackson if he wins

-McCain vetoes any legislation that could conceivably benefit any company in which he and his wife owe stock directly or through a mutual fund or the Senate's retirement plan.

Just kidding.

Senator McCain thought it was so horrible that young people have to pay into Social Security, in order for retirees to draw a Social Security check. How hypocritical can you get? The Social Security system was designed that way! But please do tell us Senator McCain, why are you drawing $23,157. per year in Social Security, while at the same time you are receiving a $58,358. Navy pension and a senator's salary of $161,708, while at the same time, you are married to a millionaire?
I guess we could just say those are FAKE tears for all those young people who pay into Social Security,so you can get that $23,157 Social Security checks.

Teresa Kerry's wealth was a huge issue for the "cons." Turn about is fair play! No one is attacking Cinny's character, no one is calling her names. It just needs to be pointed out that her business could be a conflict of interest and that there is no way the McC's can possibly relate to the average American with a credit card bill of $750,000 a month. All of that is fair game. If you can call Michelle names to defame her character, we certainly can point out the conflicts of interest and ask for reports on how Johnny is spending the money that seems to go from Cinny to the campaign.

To cincyr:

I guess it just depends on what your values and priorities are. Yours, as you stated, are about banning abortion, guns for all, and keeping your tax money. Mine are about caring for the children who are already here and insuring that they grow up with the same advantages as everyone else, insuring that irresponsible lunatics do not get their hands on guns and insuring that the money that I pay in taxes does not go to support a war we never should have waged in the first place and which has cost thousands of American and Iraqi lives and which is also responsible for the economic mess we are now in. It's all about priorities, cincyr. Obama vs McCain? May the man on the side the the angels win! We will soon see which is which. Peace!

While they're at it, somebody might want to look at what made MRS. Obama's executive services at U/C suddenly worth an annual 350,000 a year as soon as Big Daddy was elected to the Illinois State Senate . . .

Wow. You guys all need to get out more often. It doesn't matter who gets elected because the REAL power behind the throne will still be there. That power is the institution known as the corporation. These artificial constructs are out of control and should be called to account for their blatant disregard for the law.

Did Sam say something about McCain spending his Social Security check at the gambling table in Vegas? And what was Jane Hussein's response. Is WWF still on so I can get back to non-fiction?

I read the article and followed the link to the CNN transcript. There is nothing in the article or remarks by Jamal Simmons to justify the headline.
Nobody associated with Obama or the DNC said anything remotely critical of Mrs, McCain. John McCain's use of her jets for his campaign was questioned.

This is distortion by one network of a two day old story at another network.
Please delete this as soon as possible so that the nuts who want to attack either Cindy McCain or Michelle Obama can continue their field day of bottom feeding vituperation.

Cindy McCain has used a her money to help children... and has even adopted a daughter who was in need of serious medical attention.

Her income has nothing to do with us!
The stories you slander her with have nothing to do with us!

Cindy is a classy lady who has accomplished a lot of good with her money ... who doesn't deserve being bad mouthed by the dumb remaining dems just because they don't have Hillary to slam any more.

John Mccain doesn't have the suavity of of a Chicago politician.... but he's got substance in lieu of glitter....
and I like that in a Presidential contender!

HILLARY OR MCCAIN...
But always:

COUNTRY BEFORE BUSTED DNC !!!!!

oy, Michelw......

" She didn't do it on Daddy's money. SHE EARNED IT!"

Yeh!
With the help of AFFIRMATIVE ACTION!!!!

When CNN referred to Cindy McCain subsidizing His campaign, it was also noted she has not given his campaign. The subsidy is paying for his transportation on the jet. I think it is misleading you did not include that.
I would rather have her pay for the jet than us taxpayers. The taxpayers are paying for Obama's campaign trip to Iraq and Afghanistan, for his photo ops. He is saying it is a "senate trip". PUMA

Since when is making money in a capitalist society a sin? Don't forget that you need the people who make the money so Obama can take it and redistribute it.

This is no different than anything else in life.It's all about Perpective, what they have experienced, how they see things based on their experience.Michelle Obama has the right to speak about Anything,from her perpective.Now, unless you are an African American, or any other person of color,(even then, there may some differences in one's perpective)how can you First: speak to or even attempt to speak to how someone WHO IS of Color,Does,Should or Will see things,and Secondly:WHY WOULD YOU?

Wow Aston, I have read every post you have made and none of them have any real content in them. No basis in fact, nothing constructive, just flaming. Incredible.

I think the American Public has learned what family money can do to a President. I don't think we'll let it happen again soon. The key word being soon. We'll probably forget in a few decades.

You're still one of the most accomplished liars around here. Not quite as bad as BHO but really really close.

mfmors-
Where one earth did you get the idea that your tax dollars support the Democratic National Committee?

When a case before a federal judicial panel involves a party with whom the judge has a financial interest, the judge is obligated to recuse himself or herself from the case.

That option is not open to the president of the United States; there's no "co-president" to whom the president can defer.

Over the next four years, matters will come up before Congress and the presidency that will directly affect Cindy McCain's bottom line. They will also affect John McCain's bottom line.

It's perfectly reasonable to wonder what effect such matters will have on McCain's decisions as president. Especially since Cindy McCain refuses to divulge anything that bears on how her income is actually derived.

Equally, the American people have an interest in considering the dollar value of Cindy McCain's financial support of her husband's campaign, especially relating to matters subject to campaign finance disclosure rules - as with the use of her company's corporate aircraft in lieu of public transport.

These issues are all the more pertinent because John McCain stakes his reputation as a straight-talking reformer of campaign financing.

A little transparency would help his claim.

It should also be noted that the McCain's have a special deal with American Express where they pay no interest on that $750,000 credit card bill.

It's nice being an heiress in America... although I thought we kicked the royalty out of our country about 250 years ago... at the point of a gun.

Maybe it's again time to take out the garbage?

McCain gets around his own campaign finance laws by using his wife's corporate jet.

That's a MAJOR expense for these campaigns.

Clever how McCain's laws work so well for... the rich.

But nothing new. He's a Republican after all, and his voting record is extremely corrupt.
