    This submission is trash.

    However, it "downholds" the standards we have come to expect from the paid staff of Propeller. Consistency is perhaps their only virtue.

      It's pretty accurate. Cindy's father was involved with the Mob, and was convicted for it even... Doesn't mean John or Cindy themselves were involved. But her family fortune most definitely came from dealings with organized crime.

        As you say, "Doesn't mean John or Cindy themselves were involved." But, while you admit that you are unable to attribute any connection to organized crime to either the candidate or his spouse, you still will post this drivel.

        What you are engaged in is generally referred to as "the politics of personal destruction," a phrase used by Hillary Clinton to describe the attacks on her husband while he was President. It is an attempt to smear the candidate without actually being able to produce any evidence of wrongdoing on his part.

        I began this primary campaign as a supporter of John Edwards. When he abandoned the race, I switched to Sen. Obama, primarily because he showed promise of leaving this "old politics" behind and campaigning on the real issues facing our nation and our people. Perhaps he will be able to change the way things are done, but your submission shows how pervasive the old ways have become.

          Take a look at what Dorothy Wickenden, Executive Editor of "The New Yorker," has to say about this.

              "What you are engaged in is generally referred to as "the politics of personal destruction"...

              Similar to what the Swiftboaters did to Kerry in '04, huh...

                It is certainly along those lines.

                Your comment seems to suggest that because one group unfairly attacked Sen. Kerry four years ago, others are now justified in making similar attacks on Sen. McCain. I will accept such a suggestion as evidence of your personal dishonesty, moral vacancy, and intellectual corruption.

                  The assumption on your part about my comments is totally wrong, 1-2-Oscar.

                  Because one group did it 4 years ago to Kerry does not justify similar attacks on McCain or anyone else.

                  There...I retain my honesty, high moral standards and my intellectual insights...LOL...

                      Ha! All this time I have been suspicious that you were really a queen.

          No, it is actually true. Of course, having a father in law who was involved in the mob doesn't not in any way make McCain a mobster.

          The Kennedy family became wealthy during prohibition through patriarch Joseph Kennedy's rum running. That didn't make JKF or Bobby bootleggers either.
