It takes a certain strength and conviction to express yourself in direct opposition to your high-powered spouse. Yet strength and conviction doesn’t seem to be what Cindy McCain has.
Just as we were about to describe Cindy McCain’s engagement of her whole self at work as she took a clear stand against “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”–a policy her husband John McCain supports–see video above, she logged into her Twitter and reclaimed her privilege as a U.S. Senator’s wife. She tweeted, “I fully support the NOH8 campaign and all it stands for and am proud to be a part of it. But I stand by my husband’s stance on DADT.”
How possible is it to support one and simultaneously stand by the other? We wonder what she truly believes.
She makes being forthright look very difficult. Well, because it is.
Have you contradicted yourself at work? What happened?
