Just saw this.  Haven’t had time to research every claim but most appear to be true.  Why isn’t the media bringing up any of this?  

I’m a lesbian with a lesbian spouse and a child.  Nothing is more important to me than my family.   I do not want John McCain to win.   He does not value my family and I don’t value him or his trophy, husband-stealing, filthy rich wife.

In fact, with all of the crap about Obama’s wife, why hasn’t the media jumped on Ms. McCain’s former drug addiction and theft? 

Can you imagine a First Lady who admits that she stole drugs from her own nonprofit medical relief organization to feed her drug addiction? 

Here are the first few paragraphs from an old article on this at Salon:

Oct. 18, 1999 | PHOENIX — GOP presidential candidate John McCain’s wife Cindy took to the airwaves last week, recounting for Jane Pauley (on “Dateline”) and Diane Sawyer (on “Good Morning America”) the tale of her onetime addiction to Percocet and Vicodin, and the fact that she stole the drugs from her own nonprofit medical relief organization.

It was a brave and obviously painful thing to do.

It was also vintage McCain media manipulation.
