OK, libs, I'm going to piss some folks off, but I think it was a brilliant choice. Her son's going to Iraq. My sol just left army after Serbia and Iraq,sf, and uncle retired, sf, father served 3 tours in Korea, lost friends in Vietnam, uncle flew 3 tours in VN, EVERYONE in my family back as far as I can trace were committed to this country. Feel this feisty little woman could really make a difference. Being a POW doesn't qualify you as a leader, but if you're familiar with dedicated military people (OK, there's some nuts in there, just like GP) they take pride and honor seriously. I have some real problems with Obama's background, and, experience? He just seems to make a rousing speech. Anyway, I don't debate politics or religion. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Just remember to vote, or shutup!

Alaska

Hat's off to you folks up there. It's on the opposite diagonal part of the continent from me, but is one of the places I truly want to visit someday. I know you have your problems there, but I LOVE your pioneer spirit. I'm just 1 generation removed from the family farm, which I managed to buy, that's been in my family since God was a boy. Don't like Hank Williams,Jr. much, but he tried to make a statement about the American spirit in "Country Boy Can Survive". Have you heard the joke? "Don't ask someone where they're from. If they're from (insert your state) they'll tell you. Otherwise you'll just embarrass them". PM me, I may show up for dinner.
P.S. Forgive us here for Jimmy Carter!!

Cindy McCain for president!!

Cindy McCain
Bet you would have never guessed this one! No matter your
politics. The media will never tell of this, so pass it on.
GO
GIRL!!!!!!!!!!

There was an article in the Wall Street Journal on Cindy McCain, John's wife. All I ever saw was this attractive woman standing beside John. I was surprised how talented and involved with world problems she is. This is a summary of the article.
She graduated from Southern Cal and was a special-needs
teacher. She has a masters degree in special education.
After her Dad died she became involved with his beer distributing firm and is now the chairwoman. Sales have doubled since she has taken over from her father.
They have a marriage prenuptial agreement, her assets remain separate. She is involved around the world clearing land mines - travels to these countries on a detonation team and service on their board.

They have a 19 year old serving in Iraq , another son in the Naval Academy , a daughter recently graduated from Columbia Univ., an adopted daughter in high school, and a son who is the finance guy at the beer firm.

Raised kids in Phoenix, AZ rather than Washington DC.(better
atmosphere) He commuted.

In 1991, Mrs. McCain came across a girl in an orphanage in Bangladesh . Mother Teresa implored Mrs. McCain to take the baby with severe cleft palate. She did so without first telling her husband. The couple adopted the girl who has had a dozen operations to repair her cleft palate and other medical problems.

They have a Family Foundation for children's causes.
She's active with 'Halo Trust' - to clear land mines, provide water and food in war ravaged and developing countries.
She will join an overseas mission of 'Operation Smile', a charity for corrective surgery on children's faces
She has had two back surgeries and became addicted to pain killers. She talks openly about it which she says is part of the recovery process.

I'm surprised the media is so quiet about her attributes. She sounds more
capable than Hillary or Obama. We would really get two for the price of one. A person with business and international experience.

John did work for the firm for awhile when he left the Navy. She,
however, has the real business experience. Very interesting.

Jigger,

I agree that Cindy McCain is quite a woman. But I completely disagree that she is more capable of being President than either Obama or Hillary. But, I do think she is probably more capable than her husband!

Yes, in the 2000 campaign the Bush campaign spread rumors that the McCains' adopted child was John's "love child" ... so sick.
