Cindy McCain reverses herself on gay rights.
http://gay.americablog.com/2010/11/cindy-mccan-is-hater-reverses-self-on.html

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.

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
Edited on Fri Nov-12-10 11:35 PM by Bobbieo
with drug addiction and watched, with disgust, at how he treated her during his 2008 presidential campaign. He is a fat, obnoxious pig!

23. Link to articles re: Cindy's addiction and JM calling her C word
Edited on Sat Nov-13-10 12:05 AM by Mimosa
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:

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
