Do you think its hypocritical of McCain to advertise and expose his adopted daughter...?

Question

to the ridicule/praise of society but yet go out of his way to protect the privacy of Palins biological daughter just to get votes from conservative republicans?

Being adopted is difficult enough for a teenager but yet he has stump speach discussing it every chance he gets despite the pain it causes his adopted daughter.

Answer 1

I am not a McCain supporter, however I have never heard him disrespect his family.

Facts???

Answer 2

He bought her, fair and square...

Answer 3

".....despite the pain....?

Perhaps it's immense pride.

Answer 4

I think Bridget knows she is adopted..her mom and her do not look alike...

Answer 5

If she wasn't there you would accuse him of hiding her because of her race.

Since there is no answer that would please you your question is pointless.

Answer 6

I think it's hypocritical to assume that it causes his daughter pain to know she is adopted.    Maybe she considers herself blessed that her mother didn't slaughter her in the womb or knew that she had a mother who loved her so much she wanted her to have a life that she couldn't give her?

My sister adopted a child and rescued him from a broken drug addicted family.  Do you think he is in pain because he's not being raised by two people more concerned about drugs than his well being?  That my friend to me is really hipocracy.

Sincerely,

Michelle

Answer 7

oh hush. you didn't even know he had a special needs adopted child untill last night.

no.

Answer 8

It's a sad label to slap on a child just the same as referring to Palin's 'Down Syndrome' son and 'knocked up' daughter.  

My husband is never refered to as 'the adopted kid of...."  It's another pathetic label.

Answer 9

Must be nice to be a perfect person like you, huh? How about giving John and Cindy McCain some credit for being loving parents and making sacrifices to adopt this beautiful child?

All you libs do is criticize..

You don't know anything about their family.....so why don't you shut your mouth.

Answer 10

Considering they adopted her when she was 10 months old, she is part of the family. Why wouldn't you show off your family if you were proud of them. Not at all.

Answer 11

Yes, I have noticed how he exploits her & this has nothing to do with her behavior. Palin is being scrutinized because she was picked inpusulsively....I was looking at both of his daughters though & they both are built the same way & it is very unusual. I think his adopted daughter could be his & the girls could take after McCain's father's side of the family. Look at the odd build of both of his daughter's

Answer 12

No.

I can't see how there is any comparison there.

Unless you get back to the year 2000 when apparently some spread the rumor that McCain's adopted daughter was really a love child between McCain & a black hooker.

But even then, there is  a difference betweent he vile things said about Palins daughter & the vile things said about McCain concerning his daughter, but not blaming her.

Answer 13

More kids need adopted from the many fine choses we have here in America that has no mother or father. Why do celebrites think its cute to adopt from a foreign Country. Cas they are different or Un-American such as the many foreign cars on our highways now, instead of people investing in America first.

Im ranting here since the citizens are thinking if its not foreign its not good such as cars. They might get a little better gas mileage, but wait til they need repairs on them. Example the VW Beetle sure is cute and does get really good gas mileage. Con>>Chek anywhere and they will tell you new shocks and struts will cost you $800-$1000 to replace. That will buy alot of gas.!! Did I mention you cant change the anti-freeze your self if you have a diesel Beetle, it has to be taken to a dealer cas they have a (Special Tool) to do it, for $135. I buy just American made vehicles now and would adopt an American child first.

Answer 14

How could this possibly be painful for her? She's not an uneducated high school drop out that's knocked up. If anything he's displaying her "perfection" like a trophy and model citizen.

Answer 15

He's showing that he's pro-life and for adoption.  What does that have to do with Palin's daughter?

How do you know what McCain's daughter is thinking?  

Answer 16

Hasn't Obama consistently said that his children's privacy should be respected?  And right after that, wasn't that his children on the podium at the DNC?  What's the difference?  Is it because a conservative shouldn't have an adopted child from another country?  Does that hurt your liberal and hypocritical sensitivities?  Where exactly is your facts backing this?  Or maybe you just like picking on children.

Answer 17

There are several reasons why McCain is doing this. One is that McCain is still trying to counter the smears from the Bush Campaign in 2000 when they indicated to voters that McCain had fathered an illegitimate black child. Some people believed that story when they saw pictures of this child.
