Politics – "You know, my husband and I have been married 28 years and we have filed separate tax returns for 28 years. This is a privacy issue. My husband is the candidate,"
"If she wants to be First Lady, she must be above reproach"
Well I guess Obama is out.
And what is the "reproach" that Mrs. Obama is not 'above'??
When you live in the United States of America and you tell a crowd in my home town that the only time you've ever been proud of America is when your husband who is black, is running president, you've got some things to explain. The funnier part here is in the next press release from his campaign is that is doesn't matter that he's black, right after Michelle made it an issue. She's a part of the elitist cheese and whine crowd who complains that all of the world's problems are caused by America. That plus she is also tainted by the same Rev. Wright and his hate speech. From family photos, she was in church right along with Barack when the hate sermons were preached.
See ... ONE statement out of context and Michelle is "unpatriotic" or is "dissing" America.
Brilliant ... and the media played it that way because that is what they wanted people to THINK.
You have ABSOLUTELY NO proof that Wright preached "hate" every Sunday for the last 20 years, so your generalization that he did that is erroneous.
Again, you took the media bait and with a few soundbites you generalized that Wright a chronic "hater".
the clinton and the obama released their tax returns. why wont this self effacing broad release hers? doe she have ties with shady people. shes no better than anyone else. just another burr up her ass republican broad.
Wow N2N. Between your pos for this douche calling a woman a "Broad", and this little doozy from page one "PLUS, what self respecting man lives with a woman for 28 years and allows her to have this kind of control." you have shown us that your husband must have your ass in check.
I would ask you to respond back but I would not want you to have to go ask him for permission.
My husband and i are equals in our house, he has access to my money and i have access to his, big difference.
So you and your husband are equals and you just don't think that all women should be? What makes you special?
I didn't say Cindy McCain shouldn't be an equal, moreso i stated that she is the one in control, which places her as the "more equal' in the marriage.
She either supports her husband or she doesn't, that's what it boils down to. If this is all she is being asked to do, the whole world already knows she's uber wealthy, so what does she have to hide? This is something YOU should be asking yourself, since you support McCain. We who don't support him ask because we have had enough surprises from our elected or should i say appointed leaders.
I am confused, in doing a search, I found Nancy Pelosi didn't fully disclose much and neither did Harry Reid. The 4th and 5th highest seats in power and they didn't, go figure, double standards again.
As first lady, Cindy would have to put her wealth into a blind trust. So it really doesn't matter how much she has or what she owns. She wouldn't have control over it for 4 or 8 years.
I think this is a whole lot of nothing. Must be a slow news day for the DNC.
Uh, to quote you all ...
Pelosi and Reid are NOT running for President ....
However, they are in power in DC. Unlike Cindy McCain who is simply married to a man who wants to be in charge. Get it?
Ok .. then all of the Republicans "in power" are subject to the same 'request' of full disclosure. There are minority leaders in the house and Senate, so what would be 'good' for the Democratic leaders is also 'good' for the Republicans.
And, in future, NO one should ever be asking ANY spouse of ANY candidate to fork over their tax returns.
Why should she release her statement? She's not running for President. Lets see yours then.
Neither was Rev Wright, and Obama wasn't sleeping with him every night, nor would Rev Wright be living in the WH. I want to know what's going on with Cindy McCain, if she want's her husband to be president, we deserve to know that she has no more skeletons than we already know about. HAHAHA
No he didn't sleep with him but he did attend his church of hate for 23 years. In those 23 years Obama seems to have never heard the hate speech and contributed thousands. So he either is lying or ignorant when it comes to hate speech.
As to Cindy, since you're opening the floor, have you heard about the daughter they adopted from Africa? Seems John was on a flight visiting refugee camps and Cindy picked up a child that was destine to die because there was no food left for her. When the McCains went back to the plane Cindy was still holding the child. Without a word spoken, they brought her home and she's a part of their family ever since. A photo op like that and they didn't make a big deal out of it, because it was the right thing to do. That's the difference between Obama and McCain.
Great! Now Brangelina are (is?) qualified to be the President(s). LOL!
That's a wonderful thing they did.
Again you're missing my point. I really don't know if you're too liberal to see something good in someone not from your side of an argument or if it's simply ignorance brought on by public schools. I think it's commendable that Brad and Angeline help where they can. I think they're rather odd but if it works for them and the kids do well, great. What surprised me was that John and Cindy are on a tour to see first hand the suffering of others and they bring home a daughter. The press never talks about it which I think is sad. How many other people would have tried helping in this way if it were made easier.
As to qualified, perhaps you should read up on Senator McCain's record. As a non-McCain fan, I've done a bit of research on him. I'm very impressed with his career in the Navy and in the Senate. Unlike some of his colleagues who went to Nam for the photo ops, he was a real hero and earn my respect. That plus my vote.
AGAIN ...
Unless YOU sat in the pews of that church EVERY Sunday for the last 23 years, you have NO IDEA what Wright said for the VAST majority of that whole time.
So your statement that Wright preached "hate" for 23 years is erroneous and slanderous. And it is YOU that is lying or is ignorant for making unfounded, unprovable statements.
ONE incident of saving a child - which is a GOOD thing, no argument - is suppose to absolve the McCains for ALL of there other imperfections? Meanwhile, ONE association by Obama of a friend who is a preacher - where the insinuations of that association are not proven - is enough to totally NEGATE anything positive that Obama has done?
So disingenuous and hypocritical ....
What? Are you friggen crazy? When was the last time your minister suggested America was a bad place to live. When was the last time your minister said Bush was a Nazi or that Israel should be destroyed? Or better, that the government was creating drugs and germs to kill you off.
I have a better question, how do you think your side would react if McCain or Bush went to a White Power Rally? I'm willing to bet there would be an uprising from sea to shinning sea. Yet Obama has been a member of a church that preached hate and racism from the pulpit for over 23 years, and it's okay. Huh? Just when I think you liberals have hit bottom you start digging again.
See, you keep saying "hate and racism from the pulpit for 23 years" when you have NO proof of that whatsoever. I haven't "agreed" with what Wright said - WHEN he said - but to paint him as a CONSTANT hater is "digging" on your part.
ALL of those soundbites came from ONE SEVEN YEAR OLD sermon.
John Hagee has called the Catholic Church the "Great ******" and has also equated it with Nazis. He has said that the Anti-Christ will rise out of the European Union and will also be Jewish. He has said all Muslims are trained to kill. John McCain continues to say he is proud of Reverend Hagee's endorsement.
Rod Parsley believes America was founded to destroy Islam and that Islam is an "anti-Christ religion" brought down from a "demon spirit." McCain says that Parsley is "a spiritual guide".
A lot of you use the argument that Cindy Macain is guilty of this and that and therefor should bequired to disclose her tax info. The simple fact is that regardless of her position in society, she has not been convicted of any crime or done time for doing so. Why shouldn't she be afforded the very same rights you and I are where none of the crap you are shoveling here can be used in any court of law in the good ol' U.S. of A?
C'mon, Just because a few Dems wives buckled to the whims of the G.O.P. and social pressures doesn't mean ALL women are stupid, does it?
That's just it, i'm not afforded the same rights Cindy McCain is. If i had been caught smuggling drugs internationally, forging prescriptions and stealing, i would still be in prison, and you know it!!! McCain called in his big guns to get her off without so much as a charge, but only when she got caught! Nothing was done about her drug addiction before she was caught.
What choices did the Dems have, the repugs had it all over tv, newspapers, talk shows, and any other venue they could find, making their demands. It's high time they got a little taste of what they have been dishing out for years.
Face it, they're a bunch of perv, dopies, and wh0re mongers, while totin their Bibles and preaching the wages of sin, oh and add hypocracy to that list of faults.
quit having a hissing fit and get over it.
They can't get over it, all they have is HATE to hang on to
oh yes ho hum all we have is our hate....how boring.
did you get that off the Rush limbo show?
Rush limbo, I like it!
Theres too much hate on both sides and it's Rush's job to keep that going so we don't get together and change the fixed game that is our government.
I think Clinton and McCain are both too dirty.
What do we know about Obama?
He hasn't really committed to getting us out of Iraq has he?
Like to know more about what he is going to do.
The reason why this is significant is that she is using her company plane for political purposes. If she writes that off as an expense, then she and he are committing crimes.
You're worried about a write off? Clinton was caught selling pardons and renting out the Lincoln bedroom and you didn't have a problem with that. Cindy might fly in her own plane and you're mad? You folks need a better hobby.
Add to that, with the money the McCain's have, you don't think they'd employ an army of accountants? They're not going to make a mistake like that. The media loves Obama and hates McCain. They will cross every "t" and dot every "i".
She has every right to her privacy. If indeed her accounts were corrupt, I think she'd be smart enough not to let them be obvious or easily visible. She's not the candidate.
Nor was Rev Wright the candidate, and yet again, Obama isn't sleeping with Rev Wright! Will that ever sink in?
However, Cindy McCain has not preached race-hatred and damnation of the United States. Rev. Wright has.
John McCain has not donated (on average)$500 per week to Cindy McCain for over 10 years. Obama has donated these amounts to Rev. Wright, while claiming to have disapproved of his sermons all along.
There you go again, taking soundbites from one sermon and morphing it into 20 years of "preached race-hatred and damnation of the United States".
Unless YOU sat in that church for the last 20 years of Sundays, you have absolutely NO idea what Wright has said every one of those Sundays for every one of those years.
Obama contributed to his church, not to his preacher, and Obama NEVER claimed "to have disapproved of his sermons all along".
And you know that - just your usual twisting of a few soundbites to fit your agenda of portraying Wright - and thus Obama - as "bad, bad, bad".
Inane ...
Sorry, but Obama's weekly donation has been to his Church, not as you insinuate to the Rev.Wright!
Who are you trying to kid. The church employed Wright. If you don't agree with his sermons of hate and division you don't donate that kind of money. My husband is a church council member. When they had problems with a minister, donations flat-lined. Obama clearly belonged to the congregation. Was it for political reasons or spiritual? I suspect it was both.
BTW-before the website was removed them, I've listened to several of his last sermons. Is there such a thing as a Black Nazi? He's anti-Israel, anti-American, and anti-white. He's made many claims of the government trying to kill off African Americans. He's clearly not someone I would want as a church leader.
You doing the very thing the right has told you to do - taking soundbites from a few sermons and morphing them into 20 years of "preached race-hatred and damnation of the United States".
Unless YOU sat in that church for the last 20 years of Sundays, you have absolutely NO idea what Wright has said every one of those Sundays for every one of those years. So you have NO idea whether or not any or all of his sermons were "agreeable".
And, the money donated to a church is not SOLELY for a preacher's salary.
Wright doesn't preach at your church, so you don't have him as a church leader.
Well, in all of the churches I've attended including ship born services during war time, I've never heard a minister attack or make a comment like God D--n America. I've never heard any of our minister or pastors preach hate from the pulpit, even after we lost a pilot from my carrier in Gulf War 1. I've never heard one of our ministers preach that the American government is a Zionist plant trying to destroy black America. Now perhaps if I've attended a white power church, I would hear crazy stuff like that, but like most of America, I don't go to places like that. Before they shut down his sermons,they had several available on line. I was shocked at what the hate he was spewing.
Then again, the way you're talking, I suppose you could find good in what Stalin, Hitler and Saddam Hussein did. As long as they claimed to be liberal.

N2N, I just went through and read the comments on the last 25 stories that you and I both commented on looking for the one where ou called me a racist. I will check the next 25 tomorrow. What I did find, was you calling Klarissa and LibsRfunny a racist. Saying some crap about since your husband is black and our son is half black you can spot a racist a mile away. You yourself make things personal on a daily basis. So you should not complain about others doing so.
One of our mutual friends sent me aPM a while back asking why I was being so hard on you. I sent him/her the link to the very offensive comment you made to me. Whn he/she retruns I will ask him/her to send me the link back so I can post it for you.
