Cindy McCain, 53, John’s wife is a USC graduate and was a special-needs teacher. After her Dad died she took over his Budweiser distributing business and sales have doubled. It is a $100 million a year business. The McCains have a marriage prenuptial agreement, and her assets remain separate.

She is active with “Halo Trust” - to clear land mines, provide water and food in war ravaged and developing countries. Cindy has travelled the world clearing land mines these countries on a detonation team and serves on its board.

In 1991, Mrs. McCain came across a girl in a Bangladesh orphanage. Mother Teresa implored Mrs. McCain to take the baby with a severe cleft palate. She did so without first telling her husband. The McCain’s couple adopted the girl, nameing her Brigett (in 2000 she became an issue when opponents said she was a bastard child of an affair) She has had a dozen operations to repair her cleft palate and for other medical problems. Cindy has joined “Operation Smile”, a charity for corrective surgery on children’s faces. The McCain’s now have a Family Foundation for children’s causes.

The McCain’s have a 19 year old now serving in Iraq, another son in the Naval Academy, a daughter recently graduated from Columbia Univ., their adopted daughter is in high school, and another son who is the finance guy at the beer firm. The McCain’s raise their family in Phoenix declaring it better than Washington DC for kids.

Cindy has had two back surgeries and became addicted to pain killers.
She talks openly about it which she says is part of the recovery process.

The media has been generally mute about Cindy’s abilities and the McCain family’s attributes.

After watching the democratic debate last night I have come to the same conclusion that many others have already figured out. I realized that liberals aren’t happy unless they are running around squawking like Chicken Little and crying out “The sky is falling! The sky is falling!”

These Chicken Little Liberals are constantly warning the American people of one pending disaster after another. You know the list – global warming, nuclear proliferation, the war in Iraq, the economy etc. etc. And if there is no current threat they will make one up because otherwise they become irrelevant if they can’t show how only they can save us.

Since nearly every liberal subscribes to the Chicken Little philosophy they differentiate themselves from each other by the way they talk about these “disasters”. Hillary wants to play mother hen by spreading her wings for all the little chicks to hide under while she takes care of us and protects us from whatever is falling from the sky. This solution appeals to all those people who don’t want to be thinking adults and take on the responsibility of taking care of themselves much less their own offspring.

Barack Obama also believes that the sky is falling but instead of discussing how to fix it or even stop the sky from falling he tells us how glorious the sky will be once it is no longer falling. But don’t be fooled by his rhetoric for he too, believes that only he and his liberal base can take care of all the little people who aren’t capable or refuse to help themselves.

As for the Republicans and John McCain? Instead of running around crying that “the sky is falling” and getting everyone scared and upset, they simply blast whatever is falling from the sky into harmless little pieces. Problem solved.
