....do you own?
3? 4? 5? 6? 7? John McCain, who said some months ago he didn't know much about the economy, yesterday said he didn't know how many houses he owned, and how many houses his wife owned. (The answer for McCain and spouse is at least seven houses.) I'm sure the millions of Americans who recently lost their houses, or are about to, or are hoping they won't in the future, can identify with the ultra-rich McCains and McCain's possible running mate, the ultra-rich Mitt Romney. John McCain, the man for the middle class. snerk |

Kerry has a huge place and his wife........? Edwards has the largest place in NC. |

The point was not the number of houses, but the fact that McCain didn't know. That wasn't your point at all. First of all, McCain and his wife have made many investments, including property, houses or condos. When he was asked this question, he deferred to his staff to make sure he gave an accurate response. Can't blame him. Now, the *point* you were trying to make is contained in this: "I'm sure the millions of Americans who recently lost their houses, or are about to, or are hoping they won't in the future, can identify with the ultra-rich McCains and McCain's possible running mate, the ultra-rich Mitt Romney.

Eisboch My point was and is that I think McCain is disconnected from the harsh reality facing tens of millions of Americans and, worse, he doesn't give a damn, either. PS...his staff didn't know the answer either. |

A man who has never held a real job, spent any time in the military and has lived a majority of his time on Earth at the expense of charitable foundations or the American taxpayer - who made $4,000,000 last year, lives in a $1.3 million dollar house which he bought from a corrupt developer in a shady deal for $900,000, thinks that your average American clings to religion and guns is a rational explanation for not voting for him, has no legal opinions of note, no legislation of note, was considered unremarkable as a "constitutional scholar", consorts with black racists and white radical terrorists one of whom did something that Osama ibn Laden wasn't able to do and that was bomb the US Capitol building and thinks that the average American buys arugula instead of lettuce, he got an earmark for the hospital Mrs. Obama worked for $3,000,000 and magically and subseguently her pay went from $120,000 to $350,000 in a remarkable coincidence. Oh yeah - you've got a real winner there Harry - a real prize - somebody who can relate to the "average" American. |
