They did it when Bush was running and their doing it again. The McCain\'s and Palin\'s plenty of their own dirty laundry to clean. They think that they are so brave going out on the campaign trail and bashing Obama, but when it comes to a one on one with Obama or anyone else, their cowards. Palin nor McCain can look anyone in the face and tell the truth. It\'s easy for anyone to stand in front of a crowd of people you don\'t see every day and act like your tough. They should really investigate the McCains and PUT THAT ON THE NEWS FOR A CHANGE. Look at where this Country is now because of Republicans. Can any of you afford to lose anymore?</div>\

And I have no doubts that she has done generous and wonderful things for children all over the world.  But her financials do matter.  She has made angry and hateful statements against Barack Obama and if she\'s going to have power in the next administration (and she will if Sen. McCain wins, wives like Cindy are powerful people), then let\'s look at this sort of thing very seriously. Also, I looked at her recently revealed tax return and note that she received a foreign tax credit of $8500+ which means that she paid tax to foreign governments and received a credit on her US return for it (so that the earnings aren\'t double taxed)  Which countries is she paying tax to?  Where is her money?</div>\

Her pictures from the eighties and early nineties show a woman with curves, and a normal, but slim physique.  However, now, she claims to have "sprained" her wrist by shaking hands, and she is so thin.  We had this saying, as in I have never, ever seen a fat junky.   <br><br>She lacks any coloring, is drawn, stiff, her eyes dart around, and then she has this fragile physique.  I would love to be able to get a close look at her and just a couple of minutes to really observe her.  My students used to laugh, as I would be able to speak to a patient, observe them for a few minutes, see how they answered questions, and then be able to tell them what they would find on their lab work.  It always stunned them.</div>\
