...even though it's the 50th State.
See?
LOL
In a written statement, she described McCain as "a good friend for over 30 years." But that friendship was strained in the late 1970s by McCain's decision to divorce his first wife, Carol, who was particularly close to the Reagans, and within weeks marry Cindy Hensley, the young heiress to a lucrative Arizona beer distributorship.
The Reagans rushed to help Carol, finding her a new home in Southern California with the family of Reagan aide Edwin Meese III and a series of political and White House jobs to ease her through that difficult time.
McCain, who is about to become the GOP nominee, has made several statements about how he divorced Carol and married Hensley that conflict with the public record.
In his 2002 memoir, "Worth the Fighting For," McCain wrote that he had separated from Carol before he began dating Hensley.
"I spent as much time with Cindy in Washington and Arizona as our jobs would allow," McCain wrote. "I was separated from Carol, but our divorce would not become final until February of 1980."
An examination of court documents tells a different story. McCain did not sue his wife for divorce until Feb. 19, 1980, and he wrote in his court petition that he and his wife had "cohabited" until Jan. 7 of that year -- or for the first nine months of his relationship with Hensley.
That is what happens when I go to Chinese buffets... eventually the owner angrily approaches me with the above!
That's silly - are you saying that you can't be black AND elite in the US? That's just not true. Besides, I've met the CEO for AmEx, and that dude stinks of elitism - oh, and he's black!
whole "elite" system. I'm not saying you can't be a truly "elite" person in every conceivable way, I'm saying there is a CASTE system
in America and it is VERY HARD to get into that system if you aren't what those who MAKE THE RULES think is acceptable.
I am saying you can attend Harvard Law School and do everything right but it is STILL hard for you to get into a "certain country club"
if you happen to be of a certain ethnic persuasion. I don't AGREE with that system, but you can't tell me its just as easy for your
mixed race family to join every country club in America than it is for the John and Cindy McCains of America. I don't make the rules, and
I fight to CHANGE the rules for the better!
I believe you mistakenly believe I agree with the caste system and I DO NOT! If you've read my posts in the past, you should know better.
Finally, if I wrote anything to make you believe I was racist or promoting that ignorant caste system crap then MY APOLOGIES.
I am not racist, and do NOT support caste systems.

But that photo of him and McDruggie - she looks like his daughter.
Kinda when bush #1 would pose with his wife - Babs the other Elitist - she looked like his mom!
The location is worth more than the buildings, and they call it a 'ranch'.
13 acres is not a ranch, they sure as hell dont run cattle there.
It is an 'estate'.
This is a great post because it punctures the GOP meme that their candidate is a "regular guy."
I just can't picture him in the spa off the master bedroom. I couldn't close my eyes long enough to even pretend he was attractive. lol
LOOKS LIKE A LOVELY PLACE TO RETIRE!!!!!
C'mon now.. what dollar has he earned legitimately, since he was a POW!?
Seems like he sucks off of everyone he comes in contact with.. the folks of Arizona, this fine county, lobbiests, his wife.
REVOLTING!!!
Many people in this world have problems in the state of marriage. Why is it always the guys fault for anything that might go wrong with that marriage?
I would say if we are not sure of anything about our candidates we should ask all the right questions and then make a educated decision. Do some of your own investigation and then bring that information forward for peer review. If it is treu about any candidate then go get them, otherwise leave well enough alone...ED
McCain is the quintessential Neo-Fascist.
They also don't have 10 houses. For example, they sold this house and bought two condos downtown, and combined them. The two condos are on the records as two houses, but it's one home.
The MSM, not just FOX, churns out and reinforces the 24 hour news cycle. What you hear on the 6AM news on the east coast, goes on the evening news on the west
coast, 15 hours later. What Cokie foreshadows in the wee small hours, gains momentum like a cyclone rolling over the hours and landscape. McCain doesn't need
to pay for ads. He has talking heads rolling out his message for free. "The media is the message."
