Cindy McSame will "never" release her income taxes. Sounds
to me like McSame cheats on his wife, his wife cheats on her taxes. What a great first couple, the old man and the c**t he married. Don't get peeved, he said it, not me. Oh, she steals drugs too.

1. other than the outright illegality of stealing...
she at least knows how to be economical in the area of prescription drugs...

maybe she should have an infomercial for the seniors...

"Tired of paying high prices for your prescriptions? Let Cindy show you how to get them virtually FREE!"

10. Let's not forget the media hounding Teresa H. Kerry about her finances 4 yrs ago...
This is EXACTLY the same thing. Plus, it's not like McCain hasn't been involved in financial impropriety before. Remember Keating Five? Where are HER investments since he's living off of HER income.

We'll see if the press really goes after this. So far? Not much.

2. My take
She doesn't want it all over the corporate media that she's as rich as sin. This isn't going to sit well with Joe Sixpack, though.

3. If Joe Sixpack had money, he'd brag about it. Come to think of
it wasn't it his sixpacks that made McSame's c**t wife rich?

4. If McCain wasn't using his wife's jet at bargain basement prices..
to fly to campaign events, I'd ALMOST give her a pass.

Then I think what would have happened if Hillary had used the reverse argument and just released her tax returns. We'd still be hearing about it.

6. Then she shouldn't get involved at all in politics
Edited on Thu May-08-08 07:30 PM by aint_no_life_nowhere
Since spouses are always dragged out before the media in American politics and since Cindy McCain is actively participating in her husband's campaign, I would say that it's all fair game and the people should demand to see her records. She's appearing with her husband and the two of them are trying to portray a nice image of a family, husband and wife. The integrity of each one has been placed at issue. If McCain didn't raise the issue of family values or of marriage and didn't drag his family members into the picture, then it would be different. But I don't see how someone intimately involved in her husband's campaign can avoid having to reveal everything about herself. If she's been taking outrageous deductions on her income taxes then I think it's something we need to know. We're not in Europe, where spouses always remain in the background, out of the camera's eye and the candidates don't make their family life an issue.

9. I don't think she should.
They have a prenup and file seperately. Why should she? She's not the one running for office.

11. Is that a FACT that they have a pre-nup
or is that just conjecture?

13. Every news article I've read
says there's a prenup. I wonder if prenups are recorded at the courthouse.

14. McCain makes it obvious he's keeping all the family assets in his wife's name
Edited on Thu May-08-08 07:47 PM by librechik
to avoid scrutiny. The media let him do it cuz he's St. McCain.

it's cheating, especially when all the other players--and spouses--have disclosed theirs. Not to mention the Pukkkes had kittens for months, crying and whining and threatening leagal action until Theresa Kerry finally released her tax returns. Are the Dems really going to let her get away with this? She could be financing his whole campaign, for all we know!

20. Heinz only partially released hers
and because AZ is a community property state, half of Cindy's income is reported on John McCain's tax return.

15. Then if he wins she shouldn't get to live in the White House
unless she pays rent. Oh what the hell, if he wins I am going to kill myself so I guess I don't care.

19. Wonder Why?
"GOP candidate John McCain's wife, Cindy, is the heiress to a beer distributorship and has owned stock in oil and pharmaceutical companies, but the specifics are elusive. McCain has declined to release his wife's tax returns, saying they keep their finances separately."
