Cindi McCain - More Truth Exposed
There is a great story up on RawStory detailing their interview of the whistleblower who was fired after alerting the feds to C. McCain stealing drugs from her charity. The link is at the bottom. The whistleblower supports his account with a contemporaneously kept journal which he has also now released. He asserts he kept quiet until now because the McCain's destroyed his career when he brought her theft and drug use to light, and is only now in a position where he doesn't think they can hurt him further. Here is one of his journal entries that gives a flavor of the story where he is contemplating if the charity for which he and McCain work, should continue, "I have mixed emotions about what I believe should happen to AVMT," Gosinski wrote in one of his last journal entries in December 1992. "It does not deserve to continue to exist as it is currently being operated -- it is a very expensive toy for a very disturbed lady. Cindy has use (sic) the organization for self-promotion and as a source for the drugs to which she is addicted."
And this "As summer turns toward autumn, the charity becomes an outgrowth of John McCain's senate re-election campaign, with travel and scheduling coordinated by aides on his campaign and senate staffs, Gosinski writes.
"I have never been so aware of the amount of insincerity behind a political campaign as I am now with John McCain's reelection campaign," he writes on Sept. 3, 1992. "Everything Cindy McCain does is politically motivated and driven by the almighty 'photo op.' I am convinced that Cindy McCain could give a rat's ass about the citizens of the third world countries or the victims of natural disasters."

There's more than enough to attack McCain and Palin on without dipping into Cindy's drug addiction.
I'd stay far away from this.

I'm not sure I get that thought. The Republicans move from false allegation to false allegation daily just waiting for something to stick and to create an overall sense of disillusionment with Obama. Yet we shy away from reciting facts that actually shed a lot of negative light on the McCain's character. For example, the story talks about using the charity as a photo op for his campaign. And also talks about McCain's attempts to cover up his wife's addiction rather than see her get the help she needed. Thus feeding into the reality that the image of McCain is a mirage.
