 Advertisements [?]We have seen Chelsea on the campaign trail with Hillary and of course the Obama children with their parents, but a quick google search turned up nada on the McCain children. Why are they hiding them and do the McCains think they can hide them if he gets elected?

3. At least for the Republican party. Why would you even want to be in a party that would have problems
 with that? Pat Buchanan would probably go crazy if McCain showed up at an event with his brown skinned daughter.

I guess they have run out of things to whine about.

...and in Iraq.

I gained alot of respect for McCain when I found this out. He didn't even bring it up. OTOH, what do you think a Democrat running for the Presidency would do?

[mamacags]

Oh I am sorry DUmbasses, I forgot his kids were running for president.

[franksolich]

But yet if John McCain were trotting out the descendants, the primitives would say he's "exploiting them" for "political purposes."

BS! The simple reason is McCain doesn't use his family or we would be hearing ad-nauseum about his son in Iraq and how he understands what's at stake, etc. Brown skin wouldn't hurt him in the slightest and would even help him. He has too much class for that.

What's funny is the Dems in my family have all said that they would never vote for a black. Think about that for a moment, the keyword is NEVER. Nothing about his policies or his stand on issues, just because of his skin color! Now if the GOP fronted a black candidate and I agreed with him on the issues I would vote for him in a heartbeat.

Who are the racists?

[Airwolf]

I call Bullshit on this. I seem to remember how the Clintons practically forbid the media from even talking about their daughter. It got to the point that when they did a "Waynes World" episode doing the top ten list of women Wayne and Garth wouldn't touch and Chelsea's name was on it the next time it aired on tv they edited out her name and Mike Myers had to apologize for it.

IN fact, they did the same thing when chelsea was ACTIVELY stumping for mrs. clinton.  And hussein has already said michelle is off-limits -- meaning she can say and spray all she wants and no one can gainsay her, else they are "attacking his family."

The lefties are such babies and hypocrites.

You recall correctly.  He and his unit made an emergency landing at Pease AB just outside of Portsmouth on their way back from Iraq in February.  A local group, with no notice, was there to greet the plane as they do all others who pass through Pease with refreshments, meals, and phone cards.

Link to storyHERE

And the Scammans (one of the major Pease Greeters supporters) got verbally abused by our Congresscritter and staff not long ago.  Par for the course, I suppose.

Contrast that with the "welcome" our troops get from liberals.

Hmmmmmmmmm the McCains adopted a baby who had severe birth defects.  If it were Obama he would have made sure she was aborted so as to not PUNISH the biological mother.  Seriously, the right are champions of adoption.  All of the conservatives I know would open their arms to a child of any color.

[MPCOA]

Could be because two of their sons are forbidden by the UCMJ from campaigning.

[DixieBelle]

Idjits. Really stupid idjits. Just proves how deep their insanity and hate runs. Not a one of them cares or understands the story behind the McCain children and why they may not be upfront and center for every photo op.

here's an article. It's the Boston Globe so we already know their bias. Still a pretty fair article.

Imagine how how she would be with about half of that makeup on.  I hate when pretty girls ruin it by caking on makeup.

H5! Thanks for posting this article. I don't agree with McCain on many issues but he went up a couple notches in my book when I recently discovered he had a son serving in Iraq and almost no one knew about it. Politicians with class are rare now days. Now consider Hillary or Obama having a son or daughter in Iraq. Yeah, Hillary who fabricated a tall tale about Chelsea and 9-11 as a cheap political ploy to show how she personally feels everyone's pain.

Don't you know that he's supposed to bring out his kids so the DUmmies can make fun of them?

DUmmies, I couldn't care less about his kids, his wife, or anyone related to him.  If they don't want to campaign, that's fine.  If they do want to campaign, they open themselves up to criticism.

Yes, in the same way the Clinton's whored our Chelsea to attract the young vote.
