From the website 23/6, in honor of Republican attacks on Michelle Obama
If you don’t believe this story is true, read this.
And if you don’t believe John McCain was involved, read this.
UPDATE: Sorry, I’ve had to turn off comments on this post. Apparently the word “drugs” in the title was like honey to the spambots.

Prohibition has never worked and never will. Because of prohibition, from the place of origin to the point of sale there can be up to a 17000% markup in the illegal drug trade. All major authorities agree that the vast majority of drug-related violent crime is caused by the prohibition against drugs, rather than the drugs themselves. We’re building 900 new prison beds and hiring 150 more correction officers every two weeks in the USA. We arrest someone on a drug charge every 17 seconds. The “land of the free” now incarcerates more people than any other nation on earth, even more than far more populous communist China. More than 1 of every 100 adult Americans is now behind bars. We spend $69 billion per year on the drug war. In 1914 when all drugs were LEGAL 1.3% of the American population was addicted to drugs. Despite prohibition, TODAY 1.3% of our population is STILL addicted to drugs. Over 100,000 Americans have lost their lives as a result of the war on drugs, which is really a war on our own citizens. Enough is Enough. We were smart enough to end alcohol prohibition after 13 years, the drug war has been going on almost 4 decades and drug prohibition to some degree for over 9 decades. The ONLY way to control drugs is to regulate them like alcohol and tobacco. That will END the profits available to criminals just like ending alcohol prohibition did. The year alcohol prohibition ended violent crime FELL 65%. There has only been one drug success story in history, tobacco, which is hands down the most deadly and one of the most addictive of all drugs. Almost half of all users quit because of regulation, accurate information and medical treatment, not a war on tobacco users. No one went to jail and no one got killed. Contact your elected representatives and tell them to end the drug war. The right; to freedom of religion, free speech, a free press, to keep and bear arms, to be secure in your person, house, papers and effects against unreasonable search and seizure, to life, liberty and property, to be protected from having your property taken by the government without due process of law and without just compensation, to confront the witnesses against you, to be protected from excessive bail, excessive fines, cruel and unusual punishment, to vote and many others have been denied to millions of Americans in the name of the drug war. Not one of the ridiculous arguments justify devastating society with prohibition. Join the Email List. Watch the videos:

After reading The artical (8/19/08), I feel it is my obligation to respond….. 1) If your happy the way government has been run for the last 8 years,and the lies of how we came to war and why we’re still in it. 2) If you still pretend America is still the great country that it was. 3) If you prefer to have a drug-abusing first lady, who not only destroyed the charity she was running,but put several doctors and friends in a career ending position. https://www.politicalirony.com/2008/06/14/cindy-mccain-stole-drugs-from-her-own-charity/ 4) Cannot keep from telling lies, either by pure stupidity or and aging mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEtZlR3zp4c . 5) If you agree America can still run the way it is on the economy or the war without raising taxes or still allowing big corporations not to pay American taxes at all….6) If you believe that Cindy McCain has nothing to do with politics, and John is not involved in her business dealings. Including the fact that John McCains son is the VP of her company. 7) Have totally forgotten about the Keating-Five scandle. Then please feel free to vote for Mr. McCain. After all, if you we’re stupid enough to vote for Bush the second time you deserve what you get.
You know…this is such old news. Didn’t Obama use cocaine? Yes.
The good Cindy has done in far away places, the amazing power she wields for those who have no other voice, is somehow never reported – and these skeletons in her closet continue to resurface. Do you remember that she is the one who “outed” herself? That she called her husband and confessed? That he flew home to help her admit the truth to the charity, to officials, to get help?
Do you know how LONG ago this was? Get a life. Cindy certainly has.
Caral, why are you telling me in November that a story I posted in June is “old news”? Do you know how long ago that was? Get a life. I certainly have. 🙂
