Comments on: Cindy's Fortune: An Asset And A Liability

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

[kenmar71]

Sounds to me like alot of you are just jealous. quit worring other peoples money. What people spend their own money on is none of your d@mn business. Stick to the important issues about this election,like Obama''s lack of any kind of experience. Maybe in four to eight more years he might have what it takes, but not now. there is to much at stake for a rookie to be Commander -in- Chief. We''ve had one puttet president...with Carter. We don''t need one now!

They went after Kerry''s wife....Cindy needs to come clean too. What''s fair is fair. Fess up!

[vet2wars]

And McCain calls Obama an elitist, it gives more support for my nick name for John-boy, INSANE McCain!

Neither John nor Cindy McCain has apparently ever earned a thing in their lives.

Cindy is heiress to a fortune her ancestors made selling beer. She never worked for it.

John''s dad got him into the Naval Academy, and out of the Naval Academy. After dumping his first wife, he''s been supported ever since by the beer heiress.

Where are all those Repugs who were so outraged about Teresa Kerry?

Quiet as little outhouse rats.

Rich is great,but those who inherit& never work,that is very rough on those who must work -IN LARGE NUMBERS-to support just one of their lush lives.Forbes is always given the camera to whine about his 18% or so tax-his father made the wad under Ike-90% tax then on the rich-the son whines about the petty tax he pays to keep the wad!The propagandists lie about how these people are "special "!

Note: 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.

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, while one of their two dependent children had an AmEx card with a monthly balance as large as $50,000.

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



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.

Yep, he left his wife who got into a car accident while he a pow. She was left with permanent disabilities. She stood by him but he of course was looking around for something better the whole time.

Yeah, strange isn''t it...35% of American males have dumped Momma for a trophy wife...and they were mostly perfectly healthy!

Wow, a story about Cindy McCain. About time. The big (conservative) media likes bashing Michelle Obama, but until this article they haven''t touched Cindy. They have yet to mention that Cindy "lost" the financial books involved in John McCain''s Keating Five scandal, and that Cindy was busted for stealing prescription drugs from a charity she worked for to feed her drug addiction though. Republicans are covered very differently in the media than democrats are. It is like two siblings, one of them a brain and the other a screw-up, and the screw-up (Republicans) gets a free pass because they''re just a screw-up and their bad behavior is expected. When the brain does something bad, it is unexpected, and they get punished.

John McCain got rich the Republican way--married a millionaire, who herself had never lifted a finger for her wealth.

What can such people have in common with the average American? Nothing.

And the Repugs dare call Obama an elitist. And that''s from ***-blossom.

Spoiled, rich, no-work Repug puppets like McCain haven''t earned a thing--they stole it.
