I'm sick and tired of hearing about Obama's 'guilt by association', the challenges to his judgment and character, all of which are total right wing nonsense. I'm tired of hearing rumors about Obama being a Muslim, of Michelle Obama calling people 'whitey' like she's Fred Sanford the tv garbageman from1978.
Let's talk about the candidate without character or judgment, and his thieving, drug-addict wife: John and Cindy McCain. Read this week's Newsweek. Sen. McCain, shot down over N. Vietnam, was a brave, apparently selfless POW. That is not the end of his 'narrative', and I can only hope the rest of his narrative is given as much focus as his years as a POW.
I dare anyone reading this to justify how he treated his first wife, how he cheated on her with a woman almost 20 years his junior, a woman who was only 24. I dare anyone reading this to justify how a 'brave' man of 'character' leaves his wife, a woman who stood by him while he was a POW, raising his kids alone, after she had a terrible car accident. I dare anyone reading this justify how he has any character when he failed to leave before commencing his relationship with Cindy.
Where are the family values folks when Cindy's drug addiction is discussed? She wasn't just an addict, she was someone who stole from a charitable foundation to feed her drug habit. Where was John McCain when all this was going on? In DC, shining up his resume. Self-centered narcissist. He left his wife alone in Arizona with their kids, while he 'served' his country as a legislator.
Sorry, character is how you treat those near and dear to you. He fails. Character is not stealing because you can. She fails.
I only hope some folks have the guts to remind the electorate just how morally deficient John and Cindy McCain are. It is more likely that the 'character counts' crowd, the 'Book of Virtues' types, will harp on Rev. Wright and one dinner party with Bill Ayres in 1995. We all know that those things are much more important than how John and Cindy McCain act in real life.
