Rich, Ivy League educated politician. NOthing wrong with that unless you claim to represent the common man.

Not sure where you're going with this.

Look at McCains tax return. Nuff said.

I just watched Obama answer a query as to his earning 2 million dollars each year for the last 2 years by saying;" yea in the last 2 years, John McCain’s been living like that for 25 years"...very revealing that...... very revealing.

There are a lot of pages, but I was wondering if someone could tell me, succinctly, why I should care about whether or not McCain can tell me off the top of his head how many houses he owns.

Senator McCain donates his royalties from his books to charitable organizations. This sum has totaled over $1,800,000 since 1998 when he signed his first book deal. Senator McCain's book income of $256,898 for 2006 and 2007 is comprised of earnings for Faith of My Fathers, Worth the Fighting For, Why Courage Matters, Character is Destiny, and Hard Call. .

because its a gotcha....there was no real reason to ask, I am sure the reporter if given a correct answer would have made hay of the fact that he owns so many, or that is, his wife does....its the usual class warfare gotcha.


John McCain, or that his wife, is rich.....everyone got that?

oh and for a look at obama and past presidential charities

For Obama, charity really began in the U.S. Senate -- chicagotribune.com

clinton is a hoot-
So did then-President Bill Clinton, after a review of old tax returns revealed that he had once claimed a $75 deduction for donating a suit with ripped pants to the Salvation Army, as well as $2 for a pair of used underwear and $9 for six pairs of used socks.

Why is it, that liberal democrats & the main stream media "ignore" the number of homes owned by the Kennedy's, the Clintons, Al Gore & John Kerry--worth untold millions, but McCain has 7 homes,--all added up do not even come close to the value of one of John Kerry's homes, & it's an "all out attack" on the republican rich guy?

Unbelievable!

Perhaps it deals with this?

Every 4 years we come up with new and even more rediculous way of attacking people. This is a whole new standard, Oreo. Don't underestimate the power of stupid.
