Would the real Cindy McCain please stand up?

Recently on the campaign trail the McCain campaign used Cindy McCain as an attack dog along with Sarah Palin. She brought up the vote on whether to fund the troops or not that was vetoed by President Bush because it included a timetable for withdraw. Cindy McCain went on the attack saying that she was just blown back that Barack Obama would vote against funding our troops on the battlefield. She said that Obama and her should switch shoes for a while so he could understand how a mother of a son who is in Iraq feels about not funding the troops. The funny thing about this whole statement is that her husband voted the same way Obama voted and that was a big "NO" to funding our troops.

Instead of blasting Obama for voting the same way that her husband did even though it wasn't for the same reason, she should be kicking her husband out of the bedroom and making him sleep on the couch! I really don't understand where the McCain campaign is really trying to go with this since both senators voted against this bill. And using Cindy McCain to say that the judgment of Obama is wrong and that her husband's judgment is better. There is one problem with that statement....THEY MADE THE SAME JUDGEMENT! End of story! So Cindy McCain and others out there who like to fabricate the truth I suggest you find a new strategy.
