McCain unsure how many houses he owns

By the way, nobody asked Kerry how many houses he owns. And who cares? People like you are obsessed with finding scandals, but then, people like you have already made up their minds anyway. Reasonable, sane people aren't interested in your latest-gate. The only people who are affecting shock, dismay and umbrage (while they rub their hands in glee) over McCain's houses, the number of them and whether or not he keeps his fingers on the pulse of all the family investments while he's concentrating on running for President of the United States, are Bobamaphytes who would vote for Bobama if they were presented proof positive that he spent most of his evenings glued to child and bestiality porn sites on his laptop while his wife beat illegal immigrants with willow switches in the back yard.

He Is The Shining One, after all.

Kerry wasn't beating up on Bush for being an elitist now was he. Oopsie, glass houses and all.

Bill Clinton was on good terms with Hillary during the ****storm in what, '98? Based on that, I suppose the kerfuffle over his getting a hummer from a WILLING adult female was nobody else's business.

Sigh. Rachel, you're such a Rachel.

I'm sorry man, you're way out of line here. I have not pushed Jew hating. If the crime syndicate in question were Italian, I seriously doubt you'd react so strongly.

I've been mocked on this site for saying that I've had, and have, many good Jewish friends. It doesn't take much study of the world to conclude that good and bad people come from every racial or ethnic group. Some of the stories I could tell you about brothers from the hood when I drove cab. I could also tell you about the 'pillar of strength' black woman from the central district in Seattle who actually more or less saved me for Jesus. The woman was like a beacon of strength and light.

Maybe the site, of the first post, is over the top. But the story is available elsewhere. And it is a fair question, if they are correct on one of their points, i.e.: is the story suppressed because of the very sort of indignant reaction to supposed Jew-hating that you display here, now?

If you wish to ban me because I pose fair questions which you cannot answer, go right ahead. I suspect my time here is wasted at any rate.

Fair enough.
Cooling off. You just must understand the nature of that site. Combined with your previous posts about the evils of Zionism. I went off. BTW, same story appears on David Duke's website.

As far as mob ties to beer distributorships, I wouldn't be surprised. Heck, that's how the Kennedy's made their fortune. Have you thought about that?

Has nothing to do with McCain. BTW, my Grandfather was a rum runner too.

"McCain unsure how many houses he owns"

As I said, a person who cannot keep tabs on his own fortunes, is not good enough to keep tabs on the fortunes of an entire nation.

True. But cannot =/= does not.

It is relative. A man who is married to a woman of wealth, would not necessarily know all facets of her financial situation.

To put it in perspective---if one asked a father in Sudan, "How much meal do you have?", he would definitely know; as it is an actual issue of life and death for his family.

Now, I ask you personally, "How much meal do you have?"

Of course it relevant. Barack Obama made the point in his ad that John McCain said how great our economy is and he does know how many homes he owns? Homes are especially relevant because of the housing crisis.

I couldn't care less how much money he or his wife have. Heck, there are plenty of Democrats who probably have more money than they do. But let them show they are out of touch - then watch out.

"...Homes are especially relevant because of the housing crisis...."

The "housing crisis" is relevent? What a stretch!

Cindy McCain tells Stephanopoulos that Obama Offended Her


August 30, 2008 2:07 PM

ABC News' George Stephanopoulos reports: Democrats' attacks on her family's wealth are unfair and offensive, Cindy McCain said today in an interview airing tomorrow on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."

For nearly two weeks, Democrats have repeatedly hit Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., for saying he is unaware of how many houses he owns, calling the presumptive Republican presidential nominee out of touch with everyday Americans. In his acceptance speech at the Democratic convention on Thursday, Democratic nominee Barack Obama turned up the heat on McCain, saying he "doesn't know" about the lives of middle-class Americans.

"I'm offended by Barack Obama saying that about my husband," said McCain's wife Cindy.
When asked if Obama went too far in his criticism of McCain, Cindy responded, "I do. I do. I really do."

McCain also said beer the distributorship her father built, which is the source of much her family's wealth, typifies the American Dream.

"My father had nothing. He and my mother sold everything they had to raise $10,000," she said. "I'm proud of what my dad and my mother did and what they built and left me. And I intend to carry their legacy as long as I can."

More of the exclusive interview with Cindy McCain airs tomorrow on "This Week."

UPDATE: The Obama campaign is not backing down. "The fact that John McCain does not know how many houses he owns when millions are struggling to stay in the only house they have shows he's out of touch with the lives of real Americans," said Obama spokeswoman Linda Douglass Saturday afternoon. "McCain is promising to double down on the economic policies of George W. Bush which have benefited corporations and CEO's while leaving middle-class families behind. John McCain just doesn't get it."

Douglass later added that "the issue here isn't the wealth of the McCain family, it's that Senator McCain is out of touch when he says that the fundamentals of our economy are strong' and that the Bush economy has ‘made great progress' when most Americans are actually losing ground."
