With all due respect, Cindy McCain is a liar. The only question is when she lied - today, or yesterday.

Yesterday, Cindy McCain - the wife of US Senator John McCain - released a video in which she criticized the US government "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," policy, and suggested that it gave bullies an incentive to bash gay youth, who then try to kill themselves.

Today, Cindy McCain is suddenly tweeting how pro-DADT she is (clearly, her homophobic husband, who is leading the charge on trying to filibuster the effort to repeal DADT, got to her). Which means, of course, that by her own words she now thinks she is responsible for gay kids committing suicide.

1. *facepalm*

2. My suspicion: domestic violence.

[AzNick]

4. Verbal? Probably. That's my McCain!

[Mimosa]

13. Cindy has always had a 'wounded' look on her face

It probably took her too long to realise McCain married her for her looks, money and her dad's connections (not necessarilly in that order. By the time she did, she was just plain TIRED. Remember her having had the drug addiction problem?

I think she may be a good person stuck with a neurotic, controlling man.

14. I have always felt very sorry for Cindy McCain. I remember how her treated her during her battle

with drug addiction and watched, with disgust, at how he treated her during his 2008 presidential campaign. He is a fat, obnoxious pig!

[gateley]

18. How did he treat her when she was addicted? nt

[Mimosa]

23. Link to articles re: Cindy's addiction and JM calling her C word

Cindy probably needed some opioids to treat her pain from her disc surgery problems. BUT Cindy seemed to have severe psychological pain too.

Here's an article about McCain's outburst where he called her the C word:

28. That poor woman has been emotionally beaten to a pulp. nt

3. Meghan, jump the fence, already...

Your parents are nuts.

[MrsCorleone]

5. Allow me to be frank, but

who really gives a shit about what Cindy McCain thinks about LGBT civil rights NOW?

[Bobbieo]

7. Is Meghan MCain an adopted daughter? I know they have one.

[Roma]

9. Nope, it's Bridget McCain and she's from Bangladesh.

One of the few things he's done right is to not parade her out for some political gain.

[Booster]

6. She just wants the publicity. She's really vain ya know.

[gateley]

19. I disagree - I think she knows, as most people do, it's just wrong to discriminate. nt

[liberalmuse]

8. Prototypical Republican woman.

She's "succumbing" to her husband as is expected of a Stepford wife.

[gateley]

20. I'm thinking she's been emotionally abused for a long time, it's heartbreaking

to see women like that. The have no self esteem left. She'd do the same thing if they were Democrats if my sense of her is correct.

[Toucano]

10. Smooth. n/t

[Angry Dragon]

11. She is fair game now for anyone to bash her that cares to

[jillan]

12. What did John do to her?????

I wouldn't put it passed him.

[gateley]

22. I think she's been emotionally abused by that prick for a long time, P. It's

heartbreaking. I also think that people who grow up that wealthy feel that people only care about them because of their money, they have no self worth. I really think she was brave to do that. But then she got put right back down.

I don't see how I ever liked McCain, he's an ugly, hateful human being.

[Mimosa]

25. Don't feel bad. Before the keating 5 I bought some of his BS too. n/t

[cherokeeprogressive]

15. Totally and completely irrelevent.

Who gives a fuck what a washed up middle-aged bottle blonde thinks about anything in the whole fucking world?

[Divine Discontent]

16. how strange, considering the immediacy of her tweets after the video came out

forced?

[gateley]

17. She and her daughter did print ads previously promoting gay rights --

She needs to dump that guy. She sure doesn't need the money.

[Safetykitten]

21. Conversation in Cindy's head until flaming call from old bat. Gays good, sell more beer.

[DURHAM D]

24. Maybe we should do a support video for Cindy.

Lets all tell her -

It Gets Better - Just Leave the Bastard.

[Tx4obama]

26. But was that really Cindy McCain that tweeted ???

Is everyone positive that it was really Cindy McCain that sent the tweet?
The @cindyhM1 twitter account is NOT a verified account.
I'm not so sure that it is really her.

[tomm2thumbs]

27. she'll say anything at any given time - remember this one from the campaign?

'None of this negative stuff, though. You won't see it come out of our side. At all. --'

[Zoeisright]

30. STFU, Cindy, You're irrelevant.

Now go dust something in one of your eight mansions.

[TwilightGardener]

31. Well, and here I was cheering her on. Come on, woman, you know

you're sick of being told what to think and what to say--ditch the old man.
