WASHINGTON – Cindy McCain, the wife of 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain, has posed for an ad endorsing pro-gay marriage forces in California.

The photo shows Mrs. McCain with silver duct tape across her mouth and "NOH8" written on one cheek. NOH8 is a gay rights group challenging Proposition 8 passed by California voters in 2008 banning same sex marriage.

John McCain's office issued a statement saying the Arizona senator respects the views of members of his family but remains opposed to gay marriage. It says McCain believes "marriage is only defined as between one man and one woman."

1. Sounds like John may be sleeping on the couch.

Good for Cindy!

[tularetom]

2. This could be the final nail in the coffin for angry garden gnome McCain

Apparently he has strong primary opposition from a wing nut talk show DJ.

When the mouth breathing republic primary voters learn that McCain "can't control his woman" they'll desert him in droves.

But he'll never say a word to Cindy. She's the reason he has seven homes and twenty cars. He's been a parasite on the government from the day of his birth.

19. I'd give my left nut if someone would draw a gnome with John McCain's face

It would make me laugh so hard I'd need to go to the hospital.

edit: apparently there is...

6. Good on her! I liked Cindy far more than her husband

:bounce:

[David Zephyr]

23. Good for her indeed! She took it a lot further than just making a comment.

This is a very bold move and how she did it is commendable.

[mitchtv]

26. I'm starting to like her

more than I like Michelle

[bluestateguy]

7. And her husband will do the same thing as soon as he retires from the Senate

at which point it will be meaningless and of no use to anyone.

[mascarax]

8. Uh, isn't McCain forgetting part of his definition of "marriage"

was: "marriage is only defined as between one man and one woman."
really: "marriage is only defined as between one man and one woman...plus the other woman"

[Fearless]

9. Its nice sometimes to see happy news.

:applause:

[Jefferson23]

10. Very interesting development considering that McCain is having

Palin pitch in for him on his campaign.

Good for you Cindy!

[No Elephants]

11. Good for Cindy. Equal rights for all human beings everywhere.

[msanthrope]

12. Good for you Cindy. Decency should know no Party bounds..n/t

[DesertDiamond]

13. OMFG! I can't believe it!!! Right on, Cindy!!

[TommyO]

16. Thank you Cindy, though it would have been more useful back in 2008

when Prop 8 was being voted on. Oh, that's right, you had other priorities then.

[LostinRed]

17. lol...exactly

too little too late. But it is another crack in the wall.

[Vidar]

18. Good for Cindy.

John McCain Unswayed by Family Participation in NoH8 Campaign, Says Palin Will Stump for Him in Senate Race

Yesterday I posted the photos of Cindy and Meghan McCain showing support for marriage equality by posing in the NoH8 Campaign. Their participation has not swayed John McCain from his position, the Washington Post reports:

"John McCain's office said in a statement that the Arizona senator respects the views of members of his family but remains opposed to gay marriage. 'Sen. McCain believes the sanctity of marriage is only defined as between one man and one woman,' the statement said."

<snip>

"McCain's Senate re-election campaign said Wednesday that his presidential running mate, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, will come to Arizona to campaign for him in March. Palin has been a vocal opponent of gay marriage."

22. could be that Cindy has finished "biding her time" and respectfully being quiet

and to be honest if I were her and my husband had helped select that moron Sarah Palin as a running mate. I would have stopped respecting him then.

[rayofreason]

24. Better than BO's position! n/t

[kiranon]

25. Perhaps someone close to her wishes to marry his/her significant

other and brought the reality of the discrimination home to Cindy and she acted honorably. Good for Cindy!
