tirc2328 - Good work in references to actual votes but in all fairness, what "overall bill" were these amendments attached to?

Cindy''s husband also voted against troop funding, when the bill included a timetable for withdrawal, as Obama has repeatedly pointed out. Did she get a chill that day, too?

Cindy recently whined that Obama has run "the dirtiest campaign in history". Is she high? AGAIN?

If Dems were like Repubs, Cindy''s opiate addiction, thefts, and adultery, as well as her father''s racketeering conviction, would be brought up in every ad, every interview and every speech.

While the media frothed at the mouth about Michelle Obama''s ''anger'', the nonexistent ''whitey'' video, her ''first time I''m proud to be an American'' gaffe, Cindy McCain smugly weighed in with, "I''ve ALWAYS been proud of MY country!"

The second Mrs. McCain has been treated with kid gloves by the MSM. Her criminal and immoral behavior has not been mentioned once by a major news outlet in this election cycle.

If Michelle Obama was an admitted opiate addict and thief, an adulteress and a home-wrecker, and her father had been convicted on racketeering charges, can you imagine the media bloodbath that would have ensued?

I have a question for Cindy McCain: Were you really ''proud of your country'' when you were stealing drugs?

McCAIN Voted Against Troop Safety Equipment:

7 McCain voted against the Bayh amendment which would have provided more than $360 million for the procurement of up-armored Humvees. Senator Obama voted "Yes." The amendment failed. (October 5, 2005: Vote 248: S.Amdt.1933 to H.R. 2683)

7 McCain voted against the Dodd amendment, which would have provided more than $320 million for personnel protection equipment for U.S. forces in Iraq. The equipment would have been paid for by reducing US funding for Iraqi reconstruction. (October 2, 2003: Vote 376: S.Amdt.1817 to S.1689)

7 McCain voted against the Landrieu amendment, which would have provided more than $1 billion for procurement for force protection and adequate equipment for National Guard and Reserve forces. The amendment failed. (April 2, 2003: Vote 116: S. Amdt. 452 to S.762)

Well, maybe mainstrem media can pick up on this too:

1. Todd Palin, husband of Governor Sarah Palin and designated "First Dude" was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party from 1995-2002.

2. The Alaskan Independence Party (AIP) advocates for ALASKA SECESSION FROM THE UNITED STATES.

3. AIP founder JOE VOGLER has stated " I''m an Alaskan, NOT AN AMERICAN. I''ve got no damned uses for America or her damned institutions. The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared TO MY HATRED FOR THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. And, I won''t be buriied under her damned flag."

4. In 1993, Joe Vogler planned to attend the UNITED NATIONS TO DENOUNCE UNITED STATES TYRANNY. Joe Vogler even PERSUADED THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT TO SPONSOR HIS ANTI-AMERICAN TIRADE.

5 In 2008, Governor Sarah Plain addressed the AIP convention and stated " keep up the good work" and "God bless you."

Sarah Palin gives new meaning to ''sleeping with the enemy''. And, John McCain is associating, to say the least with her and her husband...hmmmmm..

jaxsterling6.....Cut and paste. I have lost count of how many times I have seen this exact same post. You sir are nothing but a liar. At least you should have the decency to admit that you are a republican shill and never intended to vote for Obama in the first place. That makes you a coward as well. Plus the frequency of your posts about Ayers come at the same time as Palin is out there telling the same lies. This is a dead issue as it has been fully investigated and the facts have been published in a number of non-partisan venues. So stop peeing on my shoe and telling me it''s raining. We are on to you and all your BS.

Cindy McCain owes Obama an apology for failing to realize Obama is a PRESIDENTIAL candidate and as such has to make choices that will bring the US make to its former standing in the world.
McCain''s boys are only replicating their patriarchal military careers as their "fathers before them".
Questions are arising about Sarah Palin''s son - was it truly that he was into drugs and given the opportunity of MILITARY SERVICE or PRISON - fruit doesn''t fall far from the tree & both Palin''s have FAILED their children & the U.S.A.!

Just like the bailout, I wouldn''t fund the war anymore either but would do it in reduced steps, after all, Obama like my self didn''t believe we should have gone there in the first place so all of the McPains need to stop their stupid remarks about patriotism cause it won''t fly. These folks are nothing but warmongers, and quite frankly, John Wayne has long since left the building!
