Politico: Cindy McCain's Fortune Has Benefited Husband's Career But Could Attract Unwanted Attention

How about covering the story on the empty suit and getting a sweet deal on his mortgage. Funny, don''t see that here. Pretend it''s on a Republican and let''s see the the story run for weeks.
Gee, don''t seem to remember the msm running stories like this on heinz-kerry. So, go after mccain''s wife, cute, real cute. Didn''t your empty suit give a sermon on NOT going after candidated family''s??? Think so. Of course this piece is only posing the question isn''t it. Clever, real clever.

"For example, Bill Gates was prosecuted for what I don''''t remember, but he made it through and makes more than ever. "

Don''t make an example about what you don''t remember. Maybe it was Microsoft and not Bill Gates himself ?
Maybe you are talking about monopoly legal issues ?

"Martha Stewart was prosecuted and sent to prison as an example for what I can''''t remember."

Again, maybe you should find out before posting ?
Maybe she was found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of an agency proceeding, and making false statements to federal investigators ?

"Cindy probably has enough money she could shut the whole thing down and retire, and a lot of people would be out of work."

She is rich enough to pay people to take care of the management. How would she find the time to spend her money, otherwise ?

Since Cindy is actively working John''s campaign, and John is using her private jet to campaign. And the fact she can''t pay her taxes until they reach default. All these things mean she has no right to withhold any information of her finances. They chose to use her wealth for his campaign. It is time for the McCains to come clean.

In American we have the opportunity to make as much money as we can and keep what we make as long as we pay our taxes. Unless, of course, it is too much? People who make too much seem to get dragged through the mud. For example, Bill Gates was prosecuted for what I don''t remember, but he made it through and makes more than ever. But he also gives millions to charities. Martha Stewart was prosecuted and sent to prison as an example for what I can''t remember. She took her medicine and is back making as much as ever. I think the people who complain about the fortures of the Kerry''s and the McCain''s are jealous they didn''t inherit companies that make millions.

Keep in mind, even if you inherit millions, it is hard work to keep it. A lot of people win money in lotteries and on game shows, and it is squandered within a few years. Why begrudge people their money who have the drive to do what it takes to keep their company solvent? There must be a lot of people whose livlihood is dependent on working on the processing line in the beer production plant, accountants, secretaries, truck drivers, distributers, and on and on. Cindy probably has enough money she could shut the whole thing down and retire, and a lot of people would be out of work.

It is SO HARD living on just $750,000 a month! I really feel for the c*nt (not my word- Johnny boy was the one who called his wife that nasty word).

"Their credit card bills peaked between January 2007 and May 2008, during which time Cindy McCain charged as much as $500,000 in a single month on one American Express card and $250,000 on another..."

I can see how McRich "feels the pain" of the average American. He can see it from 30,000 feet in one of his wife''s jets.

[undermyboot]

Just call him McRich.

Wow- They have more servants, cheaufers, cleaning ladies, and gardeners than anyone I KNOW.

McCain shure hit it big. Good thing he dumped his first wife when she got sick. She didn''t have money and it was such a drag that she got ill.

This guy doesn''t deserve to be dog catcher.

Yet it is Barack & Michelle Obama who are the `Elitist` Though the Obama`s just Recently Paid Off Their Student Loans !!!

Can`t stand the Heat, Stay away from the Oven !!



During the 2004 presidential campaign, Teresa Heinz Kerry, whose fortune was estimated to be worth more than $750 million, eventually released comparably limited information about her finances after repeated demands from Republicans who asserted the public%u2019s right to know because they said her finances were intertwined with those of her husband%u2019s presidential campaign.

The Kerry campaign had benefited from a $6.4 million personal loan Sen. Kerry secured using, as collateral, equity in a Boston townhouse the couple jointly owned.

Likewise, John McCain%u2019s presidential campaign benefited from Cindy McCain%u2019s fortune, using a `Legal Loophole` to travel the country in a Jet Owned by her company for Cut-Rate Fares.

Real Elitist: While Cindy McCain, her dependent children and the trusts and companies they control made as much as $29 million - and likely substantially more - from her family%u2019s business interests from 2004 through last year, data from the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Senate, U.S. Office of Government Ethics and the Center for Responsive Politics also reveals that they spent $11 million purchasing five condominiums for the family, hired additional household help and racked up progressively larger credit cards bills almost every year.
