Now she can afford to load up on carbon credits.
In this April 3, 2008 file photo, Cindy McCain, wife of Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is shown in Jacksonville, Fla. Cindy McCain, whose husband has been a critic of the violence in Sudan, is selling off more than $2 million in mutual funds whose holdings include companies that do business in the African nation.

at least we sweat the trivial in this country!
I think I hold one of those funds too. I’ll bet most of the unions that have endorsed Obama hold them in their pension plans. If everybody has to make their portfolios squeaky clean, Darfur-free, etc., there’s gonna be a whole lotta share dumping going on.
who gives a dang about cindy mcCain. we got more important problems like saving all the polar bears.
Yep. And Cindy was the one that was in partnerships with Charles Keating, not McCain, so there really is no need for any kind of disclosure--everything is on the up and up.
That is a good fund. I have some myself.
“Both funds have holdings in Oil & Natural Gas Corp., an India-based company that does business in Sudan. The American Funds Capital World Growth & Income Fund also has holdings in Petrochina, a Chinese government-owned oil company with vast investments in Sudan.”
China ....The biggest reason the people of Sudan are being slaughtered. Cindy needs to release her tax returns.
Give it a break calcowgirl.
Cindy needs to release her tax returns.
nope...she doesn’t..this is America...and we shouldn’t ask. Go pick on someone other than the MCCains for a while.....give all that nasty bitterness a nice little rest.
Give it a break calcowgirl.
yep...my thoughts exactly.
O, yea, very much so.
Yep. Give it a break.
You have a problem with holding our elected officials accountable?
Would you have a problem with it if this article was about Al Gore, John Kerry, or Hillary Clinton?
You’d probably be right here defending Whitewater and those cattle futures if she had an (R) next to her name!
First Cindy McCain’s finances are seperate by law from John McCain’s. Second it’s a generic investment fund which many, many people have. Third if you’re so interested in holding our elected officials responsible then try doing it to Obama once in a while.
“...then try doing it to Obama once in a while.”
I must have missed the Freeper Fairness Doctrine where is it required that one must post with equal time about the candidates of both parties. Here I was thinking that as long as we abided by JimRob’s rules, we conservatives got to pick which threads to post on and what to say on them. And if others didn’t like it, they were free to disregard or go elsewhere.
Or do you have the same issues with that pesky First Amendment that your candidate does?
Today's The Washington Times has the editorial "Cindy McCain's 'privacy'charade" which urges her to release them. May 14, 2008, p. A18).
Seems she has something to hide. Her contributions to John's campaign other than her corporate family jet? Contributions to radical Muslims - she did meet with Hashim Thaci? Psychiatric treatment for John? Gifts to La Raza? Contributions to Kerry?
Cindy McCain should post her tax statements. She is not an ordinary citizen but one who wants to be first lady.
Did you see the poll of who makes a good role model: Laura Bush, Hillary, Michelle O., Marge Simpson and Cindy M? Cindy scored the lowest getting only 4%, below Marge Simpson. Creepy is not in. She is too much like Cruella.
FYI, I had the same issue when Teresa Heinz Kerry declared she would not release her tax returns, as did most all freepers. She ultimately relented and released some information. Presidential candidate John Kerry was her spouse and benefited from her wealth just as Presidential candidate John McCain benefits from the wealth of Cindy. When we know as fact that Cindy was involved in partnerships with Keating while her husband "showed poor judgment" in the Keating Five matter, it makes her financial information all the more relevant.
As John McCain wants to impose all sorts of restrictions on U.S. energy companies through global warming regulation, and has stated that he wants a Kyoto-like treaty whether India and China participate or not, I find it interesting that Cindy has her money tied up in China and India energy interests.
You may trust politicians--I don't. Especially those who have shown questionable judgment in the past.
