How many houses...
....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 |

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.

Obimbo lives in a mansion that is valued at near $2 million and owns additional valuable properties. Obimbo can afford to vacation at a private beach in Hawaii. We can also talk about Edward's home and about Gore's home and about Pelosi's home and about Soro's home and about the Clintons real estate deals. |

Eisboch Democrats always fall this cult of personality like they have done for Obama..It is part of their pathology of wanting to be taken care of by a father figure. Remember how many Dems thought papa Joe Stalin was ok and they went into near depression when Krushev denounced him? Remember how many Dems went gaga over Mao? They always do this because the average Dem isnt smart enough to take care of himself so they need an authority figure to tell them what to do. |

They always do this because the average Dem isnt smart enough to take care of himself so they need an authority figure to tell them what to do. Unfortunately, it's more. It's about power. Scaring the average guy, promising him security and social welfare is a means of building it. Personalities and individuals aside, I believe in a system whereby people are guaranteed the opportunity to take care of themselves and their families, to whatever level they aspire, in whatever legal means they desire. Our social obligation is to provide for those that simply cannot, for whatever physical or mental reason, do it for themselves. It isn't perfect by any means, but we are obligated to continue working at it. One of my fears is that due to the rapid changes in the world today, the global economy, the rise of the economic strength of other nations, that we may be duped into the "security" mode of thinking and lose much of what this country was founded on.

How about the great mouthpiece of the DNC, the NYT and their defense of Stalin by saying they saw no famine in the Ukraine They even wond a Pulitzer for that one. All those 60s radicals have mostly become Dems and they all loved Mao. Remember, "I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect Mandarin, with Uncle Ho, Chairman Mao, fidel and Madame Binh......." Roosevelt and Truman would have nothing to do with the Dem party of today. Even Kennedy was more right wing than McCain. |

As proof of the inability of some Dems to not be able to think for themselves, I offer the postings of a certain person here who constantly posts anti-McCain or anti-Bush articles instead of using his own brain. See, this is the pathology of Democrats, the love of authority because it means they do not have to think for themselves. Look at how many Dems love Chavez and Castro, its the same old thing we always see with Dems, the authority father figure they fall in love with who will somehow save them. Often they substitute some other authority such as the government or the union etc. but it always has to be something that will save them from themselves because they are weak and pathetic. |

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 How many homes is Sorosville? You think that he has an empty realty portfolio? Does he let the poor and vagerent camp out in them? It's not the number, although with an ultra-rich presidential candidate, the number is important. It's not knowing the answer. harry, I'm glad you brought that up. Speaking of "ultra-rich presidential candidates" when Kerry was running, did anyone ask him the same questions, or question his income, or what he did with it? Yup I watched a lot of news then and not saying I didn't miss something, but I sure don't remember it. |

Not taking sides here, since I don't care for either side, but unless BO selects Hillary as VP, I'm getting the feeling he's toast. Military aside, Hillary will add balls to the ticket. The act of picking her will add 4 balls, not including Bill's. Obama showing he has a set, and Hillary's. It's scary how bad BO is looking against McCain, who has Carly Fiorina as his economics advisor for Christ's sake. --Vic |

I don't think one day of McCain's military experience is relevant to the job he is seeking. You sure as hell did when Kerry was running. Only in comparison to Bush's dangerous service with the Texas Air National Guard, and Cheney and Rumsfeld's war mongering in the face of non-service. By itself, it has no relevance. What's relevant is having the smarts to avoid wars or to find a way to extricate a country from an ongoing war. BTW, the Bush Admin today agreed to a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq. |

What's relevant is having the smarts to avoid wars or to find a way to extricate a country from an ongoing war. So let me see if I understand you. 1 - By comparison, Kerry's military combat record was relevant becasue Bush never saw combat and thus was the superior candidate. 2 - Kerry had military combat experience and the VP and SecDef at that time didn't thus making him the superior candidate. 3 - Based on one and two, Kerry was the superior candidate because he had more military experience than the Administration had. 4 - It was relevant then, but not relevant now. I understand completely. I know some farmers who would love to hire you to fertilize their fields because their entire herd of cows aren't as full of what makes the grass grow green as you are. |

So, not knowing how many houses his wife has is a good ethically speaking. But, you wouldn't understand that. |

Democrats always fall this cult of personality like they have done for Obama..It is part of their pathology of wanting to be taken care of by a father figure. Remember how many Dems thought papa Joe Stalin was ok and they went into near depression when Krushev denounced him? Remember how many Dems went gaga over Mao? They always do this because the average Dem isnt smart enough to take care of himself so they need an authority figure to tell them what to do. No offense, but that is the biggest crop of crap I have seen posted here in a long, long time. If you want political cult of personality in this country, look no farther than Ronald Reagan, and the efforts of Republicans to name every damned thing everywhere after him. How many Democrats thought Stalin was OK? How many went gaga over Mao? I'm old enough and educated enough to remember both of those guys, and I recall reading many times that Roosevelt, the leading Democrat of his time, had nothing but disdain for Stalin. His successor, Harry S Truman, had no use for Stalin, either. What you posted is bull**** piled upon bull**** piled upon bull****. heh, heh, heh. Got to ya, huh? Consider this. That's how many of us feel about a lot of your posts. It didn't get to me. Oh yes it did. Tell me - when Hillary pulls off her coup and steals the nomination, what spin will you be using then? |
