The McCain Family And The Culture of Cheating

avatar

It seems like cheating runs real deep in the McCain family...Cindy's father did the same to his first wife.

Unless you have a much bigger story behind this to support your title, I hate to burst the bubble, but I have to point out that Cindy McCain's father would not be genetically related to the McCain family.

If you want to do a "runs in the family," maybe the Kennedys might prove more fruitful?

And I should be kind and point out to you that a right winger responding to your post might be tempted to bring up Obama's father, who, as is recorded in Dreams from My Father, had a wife and children he left in Africa when he married Obama's mother. And when he left and divorced Obama's mother, he took a third wife at Harvard and took her back to Africa.

So any politicians or other leaders out there have a family history that meets with your moral approval? It could be argued that ever since Henry VIII, it's been kind of tough on the lifetime fidelity front.

"I have to point out that Cindy McCain's father would not be genetically related to the McCain family."

Not genetically no. Much worse -- by choice.

McCain sought out Cindy based on her character, and its affinity to his.

Keep in mind, when he was cheating on Carol with homewrecker Cindy, she knew he was married. Why isn't she considered just as much a cheater as him? Most ethical women don't fool around with married men, no?

Add to this the "throwing under the bus" (had to say it) of her half-sister as a non-person, along with drug abuse, attempts to cover up the drug abuse, stealing from her own foudnation, and plagiarizing recipes.... and you have a bad character.

Fits the sleazy lying sneak Mccain perfectly.
