Help John McCain lose the women's vote (conserv. or prog.)-- pass this info on!
McCain's first wife, Carol -- the one he cheated on and then abandoned (for Cindy) after she was left disabled from a car wreck -- has finally gone public, in an interview at her home. This same article also has some choice quotes from Ross Perot.

My elderly mother says that her Republican women friends are horrified when she tells them about how he left his wife, so I've been looking for a good article to send her. This one is HIGHLY detailed.

Say whatever you want about the Daily Mail -- it was Carol's choice to let them into her home, not mine.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1024927/The-wife-John-McCain-callously-left-behind.html

Carol insists she remains on good terms with her ex-husband, who agreed as part of their divorce settlement to pay her medical costs for life. ‘I have no bitterness,’
she says. ‘My accident is well recorded. I had 23 operations, I am five inches shorter than I used to be and I was in hospital for six months. It was just awful, but it wasn’t the reason for my divorce.

‘My marriage ended because John McCain didn’t want to be 40, he wanted to be 25. You know that happens...it just does.’

SNIP

Ted Sampley, who fought with US Special Forces in Vietnam and is now a leading campaigner for veterans’ rights, said: ‘I have been following John McCain’s career for nearly 20 years. I know him personally. There is something wrong with this guy and let me tell you what it is – deceit.

‘When he came home and saw that Carol was not the beauty he left behind, he started running around on her almost right away. Everybody around him knew it.

‘Eventually he met Cindy and she was young and beautiful and very wealthy. At that point McCain just dumped Carol for something he thought was better.

‘This is a guy who makes such a big deal about his character. He has no character. He is a fake. If there was any character in that first marriage, it all belonged to Carol.’

One old friend of the McCains said: ‘Carol always insists she is not bitter, but I think that’s a defence mechanism. She also feels deeply in his debt because in return for her agreement to a divorce, he promised to pay for her medical care for the rest of her life.’

SNIP

Ross Perot, who paid her medical bills all those years ago, now believes that both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man who is unusually slick and cruel – even by the standards of modern politics.

‘McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and glory,’ he said.

‘After he came home, Carol walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona. And the rest is history.’

1. A lot of conservatives have respect for Perot
The fact that he paid for Carol's medical bills and then says what he does about McCain---yep, this article is a keeper--and one to pass on.

2. Rudy did much of the same to his first wife
What is with these Republican men, if you want to call them men?

4. But Rudy doesn't cultivate the image of moral rectitude that McCain does.
Which is why he never had much conservative support. McCain has been fooling a lot more people.
