Why didn't Cindy McCain go to prison for stealing from her charity?

Question

If it were you or I, would we get off free? Mrs. McCain was violating a position of trust by stealing from a charitable organization, using its money and medical expertise to fuel her drug use. Is this not morally more reprehensible than simply purchasing drugs illegally? When it came out, McCain said his wife's addiction came as a complete SURPRISE.

Answer 2

Answer 3

DUH!, because she is rich.  What rock have you been living under?

Answer 4

It's her angelic face and blonde hair.  The judge couldn't resist.

Answer 5

Because when your rich, well connected and more importantly a Republican all you have to do is apologize and therefore you are free! Look at the hypocrite Rush Limbaugh? What bothers me about Reps is there guys never, ever do anything wrong even if they do. They will spin it and spin it until people buy it. Rush Limbaugh spends his days bashing people even though he is an addict but they don't care because hes a Republican. Cindy McCain had money invested in a company based in Darfur even though the country is in turmoil and genocide is taking place. No big deal made out of it because Republicans don't care but they are the ones that are suppose to be the party of Christians?  

Answer 6

Because...corruption+politics=Republican...

Answer 7

Not everyone gets charged.  I know of a lot of situations, one was actually a business of someone in my family.  They might pay it back or just get separated from the job or whatever organization it was, because there's been a relationship established between the parties and no charges are filed.

So not all of us would necessarily get charged.  You'd get deported.

Answer 8

Because Obama has not gone to Prison for Campaign Finance Corruption  

Answer 9

Only the rich thrive, that is the republican creed.

Answer 10

It was the attorney Generals policy to not prosecute Republicans or hire Democrats. If you did not know that your interest in politics must have arose this year. I worked for John Ashcroft when he was Missouri governor. That was his policy then too. I was of course a Republican at the time. So from Day 1 of the Bush administration that was the policy.

Answer 11

I live in Phoenix and azcentral if about as leftist as you can get.  The Arizona Republic (newspaper) runs azcentral and they have no credibility.  

Answer 12

The same reason Ted Kennedy didn't go to prison for the death of Mary Jo Kopechne money. McCain stole drugs she was addicted to. Kennedy left Mary Jo in the car to drown while he ran and got his father to start a cover up. Which is more morally reprehensible?

Answer 13

Because she is wealthy and the wealthy get away with more than most people.  Also, addiction is normally a surprise if you are never home to interact with your wife and don't care about her (or women in general).  Sorry, I kind of hate McCain.

Answer 14

cause she's rich, white, and married to an old f**t trying to become the next president.

nobody cares what she does

Answer 15

Hey.

Rich white makes right.
