Cindy McCain, What (Who?) Are You Afraid Of?
Cindy McCain has been working with the NOH8 Campaign for at least a couple of years, I believe, but more importantly, a few days ago she made a video for the campaign that directly contradicted her husband’s current flip-floppy opinion (he was against, then for it, then against it) on the repeal of DADT. Cindy McCain is the one with the money in the family, she doesn’t need that bullying bastard to live a full and happy life. Anyway, Cindy’s quote from the video is: “Our political and religious leaders tell LGBT youth that they have no future,”, and then after some comments from other celebrities, she finishes with, “Our government treats the LGBT community like second class citizens—why shouldn’t they?” This makes it pretty darned obvious that she’s against Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, huh? However, the very next day, Cindy tweeted, “I fully support the NOH8 campaign and all it stands for and am proud to be a part of it. But I stand by my husband’s stance on DADT.”
It’s clear that Cindy can’t believe both things, since they contradict each other. So, one would have to believe, in my opinion, that she went to all the trouble of filming the video because that is truly what she believes. Why would she backtrack? I mean, it makes her sound like an abused wife, who can only share her husband’s opinion. What does he have on her? Rumors are that they lead very separate lives, so why dioes she give a damn what he says? It’s just creepy that John McCain was appearing on Sunday morning talk shows telling people what Cindy believes. Why would she allow that? In my position right now, it’s really hard to feel sorry for a multi-millionaire heiress, but I do kind of feel sorry for Cindy McCain. She did was she felt was right, but has her opinion stomped on by the stupidity of her husband’s current opinion. She knows that he only has a problem with gays in the military because of his political office, because he used to be in favor of lifting DADT. So, she’s the honest one, yet she has to backtrack? It’s really a sad reflection on their marriage and on John McCain as a husband.
