What Do You Think of McCain's New Christian Values?

Senator McCain loves to tell the story of how McCain dreamed of his wife and children while he was a POW in Vietnam. Most people assume that Cindy McCain is the wife in question. However, he would have actually been thinking of his first wife, Carol McCain. She was a successful swimwear model when she became Mrs. John McCain back in 1965.





When McCain returned from Vietnam in 1973, he found out that she had been disfigured in a car crash. Doctors were forced to cut away portions of her legs and she went from 5′9″ to 5′4″. Instead of standing by his wife, Senator McCain divorced her and 18 months later married Cindy McCain who was of course the heir to a beer fortune. He promised to pay Carol’s medical bills for life as part of their divorce, but that doesn’t make up for the fact that he abandoned his wife. When he returned, he said that he was happy to see his wife, though his friends say that in secret, Senator McCain was “‘appalled’ by the change in her appearance.”





In 1979, Senator McCain cheated on Carol with his current wife Cindy McCain. One of Carol’s friends explains how she rationalized his infidelity:





‘Carol didn’t fight him. She felt her infirmity made her an impediment to him. She justified his actions because of all he had gone through. She used to say, “He just wants to make up for lost time.”’





Another friend points out that:





‘He was very generous to her in the divorce but of course he could afford to be, since he was marrying Cindy,’





His marriage to Cindy not only gave McCain a beer fortune, but also gave him even greater political connections which enabled him to become Senator McCain. Ted Sampley, who fought with the US Special Forces and campaigns for veteran rights explained Senator McCain:





“I have been following John McCain’s career for nearly 20 years. I know him personally. There is something wrong with this guy and let me tell you what it is – deceit. When he came home and saw that Carol was not the beauty he left behind, he started running around on her almost right away. Everybody around him knew it. Eventually he met Cindy and she was young and beautiful and very wealthy. At that point McCain just dumped Carol for something he thought was better. This is a guy who makes such a big deal about his character. He has no character. He is a fake. If there was any character in that first marriage, it all belonged to Carol.”





Ross Perot, the Texas businessman and former Presidential candidate paid for Carol’s medical bills while McCain was a POW weighed in with his thoughts about McCain:





“McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and glory, after he came home, Carol walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona. And the rest is history.”





Yet he’s widely believed to be the candidate who represents family values rather than Senator Obama who is married to his first and only wife with two children.

Mc Cain is dirt. His integrity is not intact. As for ';Christian Values'; HaHa. He can not answer a straight question with a srtaight answer when questioned on religeon. He has a couple of stories he tells but never answers the question. He has Christian values during election time only. Don't be fooled by this snake. Ask Carol.What Do You Think of McCain's New Christian Values?
So...he was taking out a marriage license before the ink was dry on the divorce papers, well that seals the deal for me.





It is also unbecoming of Christians to curse people and he has done that publicly during the hearings on POWs. He has a reputation for having a bad temper. We don't need a leader like that.
Quotations from books are, by their nature, opinionated. Not that I disagree with the above.. I am not in a position to use this as factual information.


I can find records that show 6 months ago, James Dobson was emphatic that he would not endorse McCain. Within the last month, he has turned this around, presumably with the addition of Palin.


Smacks of being bought.. and I'll be clear that is my opinion.


I would ASSUME McCain's personal beliefs are the same today as before .If he wasn't good enough before Palin, then he should not be ';good enough'; now. Crappy way to choose a Presidential candidate.
McCain's first wife supports him and they are good friends now. She knew that when he came home from the war he was a changed man--and she was a changed woman. They fell out of love. It happens--ALL THE TIME. Look at this war we are in right now. The divorce rate amongst Iraq vets is high. Infidelity is high. Have you ever seen the movie or read the book ';Jarhead';? That **** goes on ALL the time. It is an unfortunate circumstance of war sometimes.
