Cindy McCain escaped prosecution for stealing/using drugs
The Arizona Republic, August 24, 1994 -- "Cindy McCain, the wife of U.S. Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, admitted in a series of media interviews Monday that she became addicted to the painkillers Percocet and Vicodin. She said that she used the drugs from 1989 to 1992 and acknowledged that she had stolen some

McCain's Crime family connection
The Arizona Republic Jan. 17, 1995 "About 300 guests turned out Saturday night to celebrate the 90th birthday of Joseph 'Joe Bananas' Bonanno, retired boss of New York's Bonanno crime family. He retired to Tucson in 1968 . . . John McCain, R-Ariz., and Gov. Fife Symington sent their regards by telegram."
LOL weak, I think this was posted 2 or 3 other times in this thread already. Law Enforcement didn't even learn of this until after McCain had already been forced into rehab by her parents. The feds agreed to have her enter a drug diversion program and make financial restitution to the organization she stole the drugs from. A fairly standard resolution in such cases. Not exactly an episode that would make her a role model but it isn't like she set out to do anything illegal or wrong. She became addicted over the course of two spine surgeries.
All that said, so what? She isn't out calling for the incarceration of prescription drug addicts.
John McCain did send a telegram to the guy who had been a crime boss 30 years earlier. so if that is his tie to a crime family what about this?
"In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. "
Ayers and Dorhn are extremist radicals from the 1960’s anti-war terrorist group the Weather Underground, and they are unrepentant in the bombings they were a part of. They disappeared in 1970 after a bomb designed to kill army officers in New Jersey accidentally destroyed a Greenwich Village townhouse. They turned themselves over to authorities in 1980. While the Weather Underground claimed 25 bombings, these characters were never prosecuted. Charges were dropped due to improper FBI surviellance.
Even today they remain proud of their violent past.
“I don’t regret setting bombs; I feel we didn’t do enough,” Ayers told the New York Times in 2001. "
In November 1997, Ayers and Obama participated in a panel at the University of Chicago entitled Should a child ever be called a “super predator?” to debate “the merits of the juvenile justice system”.
In April 2002, Ayers, Dohrn, and Obama, then an Illinois State Senator, participated together at a conference entitled “Intellectuals: Who Needs Them?

And how about Obama's deal with Rezko? He directly gained from that relationship. How about Michelle Obama's salary being more than doubled after he was elected to the Senate?
McCain sends telegram to one time mob boss on his birthday, wife had perscription drug addiction and stole drugs.
Obama Recieved backing of former domestic terrorists who says he doesn't regret setting bombs and wishes he had done more, Has long time relationship with Rezko. Wife has salary doubled after his election. She preaches about forgoing big money while she earned more sitting on board of directors at just one company than most of the folks will ever earn in a year.
