Actually,I applaud her decision.If her husband isn't a viable candidate,he wont get funding.Period.But,if she uses her consuderable financial assests,isnt that *buying votes*.Kudos Mrs.McCain

Sen. McCain may not like this comment but, Cindy's a scrooge!

It really bums me out that McCain won't use this to hit Romney. Not self-financing shows principle, something Romney knows nothing about. I'm actually really surprised no GOP candidate has gone after Romney for trying to "buy" the election. It seems undemocratic to me that someone who is filthy rich gains an advantage that 99% of America will never and can never have.

Why bet on a loser? Perhaps Mrs. McCain can't see any sense in throwing her money down the toilet.

We the people should write off the top campaign fund raisers of both parties. They will be so in dept to contributors, they won’t be able to do the peoples business.
They tell us we live in the age of information, so get with the millennia already. If I was running for the job, I would be on talk shows, TV interviews, YouTube and all the other free places of publicity. Sure they would face tough questioning, but that shouldn’t concern a candidate who speaks from their soul.

This article fails to mention that Mitt Romney has raised more from individual contributors than any other GOP candidate in the race and that he has raised about $14,000,000 more than John McCain. That's not including Romney's personal contributions.

So.... John McCain likes wasting other people's money, but not his wife's money.

Just like rich people, they want your money but they can't stand the thought of paying their own bills.

if she ain't backin' her own pony, no reason for me to.....

She knows he won't win...so why waste the money? That's why Romney's having to finance his own campaign too...nobody else wants to waste their money on a loser.

Interesting! He just recently made a statement about his Southern Baptist Faith. One of the core planks of the Covenant of most Southern Baptist Churches is that members will neither partake of nor sell alcoholic beverages. That tells us something, doesn't it?

McCain has set values and no doubt will inspire all what it takes to win and to wim that's what matters.

Atually for Mitt Romney the biblical term for using his own money is quote"You eat from the sweat of thy face"not from somebody elses face.

John McCain lost all of my respect when he took his shopping trip to Iraq. What a LIAR. I think the best candidate is RON PAUL. MC CAIN will be more of the same as Bush.

Ah yes, the emperor with no clothes needs other peoples money to fund his tilting a windmills. He did marry well though.

Dear Cindy,

Watched you on the TV last night. This has nothing to do with politics. It concerns your problem with your health. Presently, you are about to go into the hospital for knee replacement surgey. Wish you luck. What did you have on your leg for support and is it possible to buy it. Am going through the same painful problem and would like your input on what helps the pain.

Thank you Cindy - You certainly are a beautiful lady and wish you all the luck in the world - you deserve it.

Pat

what this quote does not tell you is that Cindy's money DID finance John's first campaign, when he was unknown, in the early 80's. they were not above using it then! now, they no longer need to....so it's easy for them to say that they are not using their own money on principle now.

How do we know this is true, if she won't release her financial info? Until I see her tax returns, I will believe nothing about her money or how it is separated from her husband and his bid for the Presidency.

Come on people, are we to just take the word of this elitist?

Vgirl1,
How about showing the world your tax return? What? You aren't running for office so you shouldn't have to? Neither is Cindy McCain. Sorry you are poor, but money does not make you an elitist. Attitude does.
