McCain is the one who left his first wife, Carol Shepp, to marry multimillionaire heiress Cindy Hensley and then used her father's political connections to establish his candidacy in Arizona.

"Some of McCain's acquaintances, including Ronald and Nancy Reagn, were less forgiving, however. They portray John McCain as a self-centered womaniser who effectively abandoned his crippled wife to 'play the field'. They accuse him of finally settling on Cindy Hensley, a former rodeo beauty queen, for financial reasons.
McCain was then earning little more than £25,000 a year as a naval officer, while his new father-in-law, Jim Hensley, was a multi-millionaire who had impeccable political connections.

According to Ted Sampley, who fought with US Special Forces in Vietnam: 'I know John McCain personally. There is something wrong with this guy and let me tell you what it is – deceit.
John McCain met Cindy Hensley and she was young and beautiful and very wealthy. At that point McCain just dumped Carol for something he thought was better.
This is a guy who makes such a big deal about his character. He has no character. He is a fake. If there was any character in that first marriage, it all belonged to Carol.'"

yd - you can continue to do pages and pages of this stuff.
Because you have so much material on McCain, it is obvious that he has had a lot of experience learning from his mistakes. ( several people has said that a good quality about Obama is he has learned from his mistakes. Of course, he has done so little he doesn't have much of a record.)
McCain has a clean record in congress, and has been happily married to the same woman for quite a few years. I has a son in Iraq.
I still have not heard what Obama has accomplished.

KLARISSA:
"he has had a lot of experience learning from his mistakes."
WRONG. It's obvious McCain has made a lot of mistakes. You've posted ZERO EVIDENCE showing McCain has learned from any of it.
KLARISSA:
"McCain has a clean record in congress"
Actually, McCain was censured for his role in the Keating 5 scandal.
KLARISSA:
"I still have not heard what Obama has accomplished."
Obama has 12 years experience as a public official: 8 at the state level and 4 at the federal level.

"Sen. John McCain said Sunday that Sen. Barack Obama, would be 'absolutely' qualified to be president."
http://www.newsweek.com/id/142892
Why experience as a U.S. senator might not trump experience as a state legislator
"U.S. senators are gadflies. They flit from one issue to another, generally developing little expertise on any of them; devote a large portion of their day to press conferences and other publicity opportunities.
By contrast, in the Illinois Senate Obama worked out the details of legislation expanding health-care coverage and revising campaign-finance law. He wrestled with the minutiae of health-care policy, utility deregulation, transportation funding, school aid, and a host of other issues.
Obama will have spent more time as state legislator (8 years) than anyone since Abraham Lincoln."

"We'll answer the question about Obama's fitness to become President by looking at what kind of qualifications George W. Bush had to become President.
George W. Bush was by his own admission and report cards a mediocre student. Meanwhile, Barack Obama rose from a solid middle class existence to earn his way into the Ivy League.
Despite technically being AWOL, George W. Bush next proved his qualifications to direct America's economy by showing his prowess as a businessman. George W. Bush's entry into oil industry resulted in a bust of monumental proportions. George W. Bush continued to prove he was ill-equipped to be put in charge of making economic decisions when he became a part owner of the Texas Rangers, who traded Sammy Sosa just a few years before Sosa hit over 120 home runs in just two years.

The lasting legacy of Bush's leadership of Texas is remarkably similar to what he has done as President. Namely, appointing a string of unqualified people to positions of power and engaging in one sweetheart deal after another to further line the coffers of his biggest campaign contributors.
So, let's take a look at the qualifications of George W. Bush to become President. A one term Governor of Texas. A string of failures in the business world. An admitted recovering alcoholic.
On the other hand, Barack Obama was an Illinois State Senator for eight years and has been a US Senator since 2005. In other words, without any qualifications, George W. Bush sought to become the chief executive first of a large state and then the entire country, while Barack Obama has worked in the legislative realm in which people who say no to you don't get fired. Barack Obama is learning the process of government, while George Bush learned only that people ask high how when you say jump."
