Cindy McCain Unaware Of Husband’s Abortion Position
Speaking with Katie Couric, Cindy McCain first said Roe V. Wade should not be overturned, and then, when reminded (informed?) of John McCain’s position, Cindy said it should be a states’ rights issue.
CBS checked with the McCain campaign after the interview and was told that Cindy McCain’s position is that abortion should remain legal.
Couric: Where do you stand on abortion?
McCain: I’m pro-life. I’m on the record as being pro-life, like my husband.
Couric: So do you oppose it even in cases of rape and incest?
McCain: No.
Couric: So that’s where you two differ in terms of your position on that.
McCain: Uh-huh
Couric: And do you believe Roe V. Wade should be overturned?
McCain: No. no.
Couric: No. Why not? Your husband does.
McCain: No. I don’t think he does.
Couric: He believes it should be overturned. That’s what he told me, and that it should go to the states.
McCain: Well, in that respect. Yes, yeah, I do. I understand what you’re saying now. It’s a states issue.
Couric: So, you believe it should be overturned or shouldn’t be overturned.
McCain: I believe it’s a states issue. That I do believe.
Couric: How do you feel about creationism? Do you think it should be taught in schools?
McCain: I think both sides should be taught in schools. I think the more children have a frame of reference and an opportunity to read and know and make better decisions and judgments when they are adults. So, I think you know I don’t have any problem with education of any kind.
Cindy McCain acting dumb. Is this really surprising to anybody?

If McCain wins and drops dead, maybe Palin can ask Cindy McCain to be her VP.
She has international experience. I think the silicone in her breast implants were made in China.

Cindy McCain is only dreaming about becoming Cinderella at the ball after the inaugaration.

Why do you people always have to be so cutting.

I knew aboslutely nothing about Cindy other than the crap I learned in here. Then during the RNC she gave a speech and I was so inspired.
Here is the video
For those of you who still have humanity and are interest , I recommend it.
And then remember how these harpies denigrated her.

Creationism? How about snake charming?
Hey, I’ve got an idea. Let try teaching kids anything that might help us avoid a total economic collapse. And then let’s go to work on avoiding the extinction of the human race.
We don’t have time for anybody’s pet religious theory.

“And then remember how these harpies denigrated her”
I remember some pretty nasty remarks made about Michelle Obama. Funny, I guess “humanity” only pertains to republicans.
For example, apparently the mass murder of innocent men, women and children in an occupation is considered “humane”. Well, I guess humanity is all in the eyes of the beholder.

Cindy McCain never said that she wasn’t proud of her country until her husband was deemed the savior.
September 7th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Oh yea, I remember all of the Michelle Obama bashing. However, not one time did I hear the Repubs talk about some of the speeches that Michelle gave concerning the “folks” throughout America. Many, many times Michelle said all the folks want is to provide for their families and live a normal life in the USA but, the bar keeps getting raised and those goals are becoming more difficult to obtain. She was absolutely right on the money.

Talk about flip-flopping.

I agree, Anita. It’s pretty sad that we have to drag the wives into the spotlight. But in all fairness, John McCain said he would not engage in personal attacks. Unfortunately, his campaign ads have been nothing but personal attacks with no substance.

TDRO -
If the McCain campaign were truly interested in actually serving the American people they would stop with the attacks and begin discussing what really matters to the everyday JoeSixPack. The only they are doing is visiting the church auditoriums.

Do you always agree with your spouse? Cindy McCain has done a great deal on her own, outside of being a Senators wife. I am sure she is able to form her own opinion. She is a classy lady.
TDRO – I guess any ad that discusses facts has no substance.

“I think both sides should be taught in schools. I think the more children have a frame of reference and an opportunity to read and know and make better decisions and judgments when they are adults. So, I think you know I don’t have any problem with education of any kind.”
What a statement, I certainly hope John McCain does not agree with her and Palin. There’s a reason we don’t teach that the world is flat, for example. I wonder if she feels the same way about mathematics as she does science. “I think children should be taught 2+2=4 AND 2+2=5, then they can make better decisions and judgments when they are adults.”

“Why do you people always have to be so cutting.”
Because it’s funny.
Because sometimes we have to laugh to keep from crying at how appalling it is that these idiots are our leaders.

Sadly, I don’t think Cindy McCain is acting. And creationism does not belong in science class!

Abortion is so complicated and personal. Roe V Wade was passed by supream court in 1973. I as a child heard about back street abortion in NYC. My mother as a devout catholic have sentiment like Mrs. McCane. Linda was raped and she filed a class action law suit. Even my mother do not want Roe V wade over turn. Sarah Palin and Bristol Palin chose to keep their child. As a woman, I belive it is a “personal choise.”

As a life in the womb he or she would prefer to be born.
It is the natural way of LIFE.

mccain aborted 600,000 people over a lie.
September 7th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
Alan, if you keep posting these Cindy McCain interviews, I’ll always know where to go to get a good laugh! these are hilarious. they should not let her out unattended.

Can any of the conservatives on here explain the reasoning behind why they think abortion should be a ’states issue’? I mean, I thought that education was solidly a states issue, but Bush stuck the Federal nose into it with his No Child Left Behind. What would be the factors that make something a federal issue? I guess Obama supporters should be glad we didn’t leave the Jim Crow laws as a ’states issue’.
September 8th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Not true – he meant to say 47. He said he had one state to go not counting Alaska and Hawaii. Lets jump all over him on this because we know that Bush has never made a slip of the tongue.
September 8th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
Sarah Palin was Commander of the Alaskan National Guard in addition to handling fishing issues with Russia which indeed is foreign policy, of which Obama nor Biden do NOT have any experience in Greg Jarrett.
Up until VP Cheney became VP the position of VP was basically a figurehead yet is now to be considered important afterall. Imagine that huh Jarrett?
Thank Republicans for that!

It saddens me to read these comments. Some people are so loyal to their party they would vote for the devil if he ran on the Republican ticket. The media has done its job of dumbing down America.
Bush has surrounded himself with criminals, lied to the people and into war, and trashed the constitution. There are people who will vote for a pair of his twins! Is there any intelligent life anywhere in the Republican party?
September 8th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Annie:
No, I have came to conclusion after the Republicans elected Bush / Cheney a second time that there is “no intelligent life in the Republican Party”.
McCain picking Palin as VP and “them” thinking it’s a fantastic decision has just reinforced it.
