In a recent column about the upcoming election that appeared in the Greeley Tribune, the author refers to SAFER's "Cindy McCain: Drug Dealer" campaign and, in particular, its URL -- www.DrugDealerCindy.com -- as an example of a Web site name that sticks.  There are plenty lame-sounding Web sites
devoted to campaigns or issues, many of them seemingly because Web
designers either weren't creative, or the Internet is simply running
out of names.
Other sites probably could have gone
with other names, but chose ones that would stick in voter's minds,
like DrugDealerCindy.com. The site is a project of the group Safer
Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation, which lobbies for the
legalization of marijuana. The group calls Cindy McCain a drug dealer
because her family owns a beer distributorship -- "As the head of
(Hensley & Co.), Cindy makes millions of dollars dealing a drug far
more harmful than marijuana: Alcohol." There are those who would argue alcohol is not a narcotic in the traditional sense, but the Web site name is hard to forget.
As for that last statement, perhaps the author should check a dictionary for the definition of "narcotic" (note alcohol is mentioned and marijuana is not): 1. any of a class of substances that blunt the senses, as opium, morphine, belladonna, and alcohol, that in large quantities produce euphoria, stupor, or coma, that when used constantly can cause habituation or addiction, and that are used in medicine to relieve pain, cause sedation, and induce sleep.

Visits to Colorado last week by a
presidential candidate and a vice presidential candidate are proof, as
if anyone still needed it, that the state is important this fall.
Despite the attention from Democratic
candidate Sen. Barack Obama and Republican veep nominee Gov. Sarah
Palin, it's still just the little guys who matter.

Just the other day we discussed how the fundamentals of McCain Family's economy are strong. This editorial cartoon, which appeared in the Boston Globe, shares the same sentiment and pokes fun at the lavish lifestyle afforded to presidential candidate John McCain as a result of his drug-dealing wife, Cindy. |

Although the fundamentals of the U.S. economy may not be so strong right now, an article in the Washington Post leads us to believe the fundamentals of potential First Drug Dealer Cindy McCain's economy are stronger than ever.  More than 16 million barrels of domestic beer
were sold in the United States in July, and annual sales through that
month are up 1.4 percent, the largest increase since 1990, when the
economy was headed toward a recession, according to the Beer Institute.
(Yes, such a thing exists. It's a trade group.)
The uptick is significant for a mature industry with roughly $50
billion in annual sales, particularly as consumers reduce spending on
other discretionary purchases, such as venti lattes and designer jeans.
Trade groups for the liquor and wine industries report consumption of
those beverages has also increased. But beer is America's most popular
alcoholic beverage, claiming more than half the market, and the go-to
drink during these times of economic distress. As SAFER pointed out in its "Cindy McCain: Drug Dealer" campaign, distributing alcohol has made Cindy McCain and her family millions of dollars,
whereas adults are still punished for making the safer choice to use
marijuana (not to mention those who distribute it, many of whom go to
jail). Apparently the McCain Cartel is now reaping the benefits of a
nation driven to booze in order to temporarily escape their financial
concerns. God forbid people have the option of using marijuana -- a
less harmful drug -- when it comes to relaxation and recreation. All that drug money... Must be how Cindy affords her bling ...
