   First, I am a supporter of Senator Hillary Clinton. Who I support is not the purpose of this comment, but rather the sickening disgusting behavior of the Republican Party leadership in the state of Tennessee. Am I surprised? Not really, because after all, Bill Hobbs took partisan pot-shots on of all days, September eleventh, last year at the Tennessee Democratic Party. Mr. Hobbs, and I don’t know him personally, nor do I want to, gives me the impression that he is a man of little integrity, and totally devoid of reasoned logical thinking thought processes. It’s all about smear and rhetoric opposed to the real issues for our esteemed Republican Party leadership in Tennessee.

   If we are going to take it to the gutter, perhaps we should be concerned about Cindy Mccain’s drug problem: By Amy Silverman
   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.

   Or perhaps, Senator Mccain infidelity/integrity issues: McCain’s Divorce

   Before John McCain’s tour of duty in Vietnam, he married Carol Shepp, a model from Philadelphia. On his 23rd bombing mission over North Vietnam in 1967, McCain was shot down and captured.
   While he was imprisoned, Carol was in an auto wreck (1969), thrown through her car’s windshield and left seriously injured. Despite her injures, she refused to allow her POW husband to be notified about her condition, fearing that such news would not be good for him while he was being held prisoner.

   When McCain returned to the United States in 1973 after more than five years as a prisoner of war, he found his wife was a different person. The accident “left her 4 inches shorter and on crutches, and she had gained a good deal of weight.”

   Yearning to make the grade of admiral, McCain enrolled in the National War College at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C. and underwent physical therapy in order to fly again. The Navy excused his permanent disabilities and reinstated him to flight status, effectively positioning him for promotion.

   In his book, The Nightingale’s Song, Robert Timberg chronicled McCain’s post-Vietnam military assignments and some of his “adulterous” behavior leading to his divorce from Carol and marriage to Cindy Hensley.

   Timberg wrote, “in the fall of 1974, McCain was transferred to Jacksonville as the executive officer of Replacement Air Group 174, the long-sought flying billet at last a reality. A few months later, he assumed command of the RAG, which trained pilots and crews for carrier deployments. The assignment was controversial, some calling it favoritism, a sop to the famous son of a famous father and grandfather [both were Navy admirals], since he had not first commanded a squadron, the usual career path.”

   While Executive Officer and later as Squadron Commander McCain used his authority to arrange frequent flights that allowed him to carouse with subordinates and “engage in extra-marital affairs.” Such behavior was a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice rules against adultery and fraternization with subordinates.. http://www.usvetdsp.com/mcaindiv.htm

   While “honorable” service to one’s country is commendable, so is loyalty and fidelity to one’s crippled injured wife. But then after the outrage shown Bill Clinton for his infidelity issues by the Republican Party, I just know that this cannot be true, and my lying eyes, are in fact, lying.

   Do you get my “drift?” The Tennessee Democratic Party leadership don’t have to dig around with idiotic sidebar issues hoping that something sticks. Thanks to the Republican Party leadership, the people of this country are the sidebar and the after thought too, in my opinion. “How dare you”, when our great state has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country, attack somebody’s wife? I think that it’s pretty “unpatriotic” that the American people are paying almost $4.00 for a gallon of gas.

   The only thing that Mr. Hobbs and the clowns has succeeded in doing is making us the laughing stock of the Country…again. As for Mr. Corker, his alleged outrage “after the fact” when the clowns get unruly is a bit suspicious. The old “good cop” versus “bad cop” routine is a bit tiring.

   Lastly, if Mr. Hobbs and the Tennessee Republican Party want to really show their patriotism, rather than faking outrage in an attempt to hoodwink the public, rally around our crippled and mimed brave young American heroes returning home to mold infested hospital rooms. Your actions put the “u” in un-American more than anything that I have heard come out of Michelle Obama’s mouth.

   The views expressed in this comment are mine alone. I am better than this, but our country, the future of our children, there is just too much at stake for this type of idiocy.

   Had it with the clowns,

   I’d like to think this TN GOP ad or the national party’s link of Obama to Travis Childers in MS01 were trial balloons designed to test the reaction of voters (on both sides) before the fall onslaught begins. Can we even cut them that much slack, though?

   As to the candidate’s wives, I think there’s a difference between Cindy McCain’s alleged personal problems and Michelle Obama making comments about the country or Barack’s policies. Seems if we’re saying the wives are too frail to take criticism we’re demeaning the wives, and perhaps the husbands should not put them in those positions.

   Cindy McCain’s drug problem? Heck, how about her late father’s ties to the mob which led to her haveing the beer distributer, and his ties to the murder of an Arixona Republic journalist who was covering the Arizona mob influence as well as covering the blowing up of abortion clinics. That’s under her bottle blonde too.
