doesn’t surprise me one little bit.
If this was about Michelle Obama, the republicans would be peddling this story to all and sundry, but seeing as it’s McCain’s wife, they’re all keen to hush this up and transform the stick they would normally beat the drug addict with into an olive branch of forgiveness especially for Cindy. Yes I feel sorry for her, she had a drug addiction, which is a disease, which is a terrible thing.
However, the fact remains that in trying to get her next fix and cover up her addiction she broke any number of laws (but never saw the inside of a jail cell) and ruined alot of peoples lives. Has anyone thought of the number of innocent, vulnerable people that went untreated by AVMT after she ruined their reputation? Or the people that lost their jobs and reputations as a result of her actions?
EDIT to the answerer below, I don’t feel much about Obama taking coke – except that he broke the law, just like Cindy. The difference is one of ethics and not law: yes they both broke the law, but ethically her crime was far worse than his – many innocent people’s lives were damaged/ruined by what she did – obama only did damage to himself.
Hey Frank…..How do you feel about writing a post that only tells the negative in the most misleading and derogatory way.
Yes McCain was involved with the Keating Five…. he was also CLEARED of any wrong doing by the Senate Ethics Committee( Along with John Glen). Their punishment was a rebuke for using poor judgement. (BTW The other three were democrats and were found guilty)
Now lets look at Cindy’s crime…..she was addicted to pain killers because of two slipped discs in her back. She faced her problem and used her experience to champion an anti-drug campaign. She spoke openly in an attempt to keep others from making the same mistake she did…..fairly heroic
Now Senator Obama on the other hand took “recreational drugs” for fun….. he admits it in his book and several speeches…. He does not use his experience to warn others about the hazards of using drugs but evidently just uses it to identify with the youth of today…. Hey man, wanna toke?
Your attempt to use Cindy’s problem sort of backfired a little huh
DIVINA….Cindy’s crime was much worse because she hurt others….. FIRST Cindy took drugs because of PAIN….not just to have a good time….SECOND Why is Cindy responsible for people who could of said, “That is illegal. I wont break the law”
She did not force them…..or even squeal on them…. there is a thing called “responsibility” and those people hurt are responsible for their own problems….. FINALLY Obama supported a drug dealer…..He did not turn him into the police….he allowed him to continue selling poison to other stupid people…..You may not like it but he hurt others MORE than Cindy…..by supporting a drug dealer who might even have killed someone with his crimes
How do you feel about Joe Bidens swindler son and brother being theives? How do you feel about Obama using coke?
