Guess, they could pull her out of school for this.....even though the People Magazine cover was too difficult to coordinate.

2. And she will be cut out of the camera shots...... 
 Folks were looking at her like the way some people look at a handicapp person; barely.

7. That's exactly what this is. She will be reminded for the rest of her life 
 that her adopted parents performed charitable service in adopting her. Isn't she fortunate?

9. Looks like the other child that Cindy took out of the orphanage is on stage
 Oh joy.

Wasn't there a thread earlier about how the McCains would be too ashamed of a "brown person" to bring the "poor" adopted kid on?

The Republican Party is the white people's party.  There's no way the Republicans could fill a convention hall with this many minorities unless they included the cleaning staff.

What a buncha losers.  Bridget herself has been quoted as saying she preferred to be out of limelight and preferred to stay in school and with her friends instead of getting all caught up in the politics.

I bet Bridget DOES think she's fortunate that her adoptive parents took her out of that third world hellhole out the kindness of their hearts.

Asshat DUmmies don't get it.

John McCain's Quotes:
"Well it was primarily my wife's Cindy's idea. She was in Bangladesh and she and some of the medical personnel visited Mother Theresa's orphanage to try and help the children there. There were two little baby girls there. One had a heart problem the other a severe cleft palate. Cindy was very concerned about their ability to survive and their need for medical treatment, so she decided to bring them here for medical treatment. She fell in love with both of them. We decided to adopt Bridget. Two close friends of ours adopted Mickey, the other child."—John McCain1

Located in Southern Asia, between Burma and India, Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. In an area of 144,000 sq. km., only 133,910 sq. km. is land. Most of the people of Bangladesh are landless and forced to live on and cultivate flood-prone land. They have limited access to potable water and fall victim to water-borne diseases. What fishing areas exist are polluted by commercial pesticides. Although 67% of the land area is arable, natural disasters such as floods, cyclones, and droughts endlessly try the strength and courage of the people of Bangladesh. Bangladesh has probably faced more tragic blows due to natural calamities and economic crisis than any other nation in the world.

I'm sure Bridget would have been much better off left in her own country.
