I think Cindy looks scary too, but some of you guys are just cruel. No reason to bash someone just because they don’t believe in the same things that you do. I did enjoy reading about both her and Michelle Obama, because I learned a little more about someone that I didn’t know before. Look at the good, people, and stop hating.

Here is some more trivia for those that are not consumed by their own hate…

1. Cindy adopted a young girl with a cleft pallet during her work to help the vietnamese. I assume this is the adopted child mentioned in the article.

2. Cindy McCain had a stroke in 2004 and lost her ability to talk for a while. She has never fully recovered.

Sometimes, I wonder if politics should even be brought up on a forum. People defend that a little more vigorously than their religion.

Flaming other people because of their beliefs is a tired old exercise that accomplishes nothing, all it does is raise hackles.

I’m nonpartisan, and I approve unity in soul eating.

The real tragedy of this article was it’s failure to mention the millions of dollars she, as a chairman (chairwoman?) has been able to raise for charity, or the non-profit organization she founded and runs. They did not mention the fact that she was a teacher for students with special needs, or is a publish author. But we can’t have her looking better than Michelle Obama, that would defeat the purpose of these two articles.

I’m torn between Colin’s and elih’s comments, but a little more digging on Cindy McCain facts wouldn’t hurt? I personally couldn’t care about her high school status and her marathon run with writing Christmas cards, but it was interesting enough to learn she used to have a drug addiction.

In four years of living in Arizona, and how many hundreds of hours of unwillingly watching endless campaign soundbites, I can’t ever recall hearing Cindy McCain talk. It’s a pretty stark contrast between her’s and Michelle Obama’s public persona.

maybe colin, the reason that mentalfloss is “biased”(and that’s a bit of a stretch) is because there really isn’t anything that interesting about cindy mccain.

It is funny how the facts about Michelle were about her professional career and education, and the facts about Cindy were about her addiction, expensive hobbies and (to me) attempt to make her look superficial. Mental Floss is just as bias as the next site.

YOU DISAPPOINT ME!!

As someone who voted for McCain, I would just like to clear up this confusion about Republicans. We do not want to eat your souls. We want to eat your brains. Please get it right.
