He's a "maverick" who has supported 90% of Bush's agenda. Can you tell me what John McCain stands for because I surely cannot. Oh and could you do so WITHOUT referencing Obama? That'd be great.

If I recall, you seemed rather keenly interested in Gore's knob, as well.

Anyway, Clinton is indeed a pig, no disputing that.

Not so much his knob but where he chooses to put it.

But I can agree with you on Clinton.

Not much can fit into mccain's (nearly non-existent) brain, except maybe all the powerful, rich people he owes all his successes to.

Mccain, like bush, is the ultimated pampered prince--a fraud who has got where he is not thru any personal accomplishments (he has none) but rather thru connections alone. Fortunately, there are several ways to expose frauds

If I were Mccain, I'd off myself without a second's thought. To live a life w/nothing to show for it from my own efforts is pointless.

Since when has being rich become such a crime?

Obama net worth 7 million & you're bashing McCain for having a few houses, that he obtained without the help of a convicted criminal, ha.ha.?

Just to keep this on a level playing field. No one within the liberal biased media, EVER asked John Kerry how many homes he had, & what the worth was. It turns out that ALL of John McCain's houses do not add up to the value of ONE of John Kerry's homes.

So, now all you liberals "hate" people who actually own more than ONE home?
Start with me then. I am a middle class-American who has worked my butt off all of my life & have managed over the years of investment to OWN 3 homes. I still own 3 homes today.

So to you libs: Forgive me for working so hard. Forgive me for having a brain that enabled me to invest in real property. And forgive me for paying all those federal taxes during my working years.

I refuse to forgive you. You posh snob.

Joking aside, surlely we can agree that the charge of elitism from the McCain camp is baseless given the circumstances of McCain himself, including his forgetfulness of his richness?

Time to put that one to bed?

Re: McCain forgets how many houses he owns

This 8 or ten or whatever number of houses thing might haunt John McCain a little bit.

Not so much because it makes him look rich or aloof, but because it makes him look a little eccentric.

Remember Emelda Marcos with all those closets full of shoes? Nobody needed that many shoes.... it was impractical and just odd.

Same thing goes for McCain owning 10 houses.... nobody needs 10 houses...Not Will Smith, not Bill Gates....not Madonna.... so it's just plain weird.

It's tough when you are out there fighting to portray your opponent as an elitist, and someone asks you a gotcha question like "How many houses do you own?"
And you can't remember............and you need your staff to count them up for you....................

I'll bet when the debates roll around, he writes down the number in his palm......
Could be that some homes are not in his name, some he rents, some he hasn't completely paid off, some he owns in part, etc... Add his wife's house ownership list, and it might not be easy to give a clear number, because there might not be a clear number.

Re: McCain forgets how many houses he owns

No, the worst case scenario for McCain is if this becomes a storyline of McCain has alzheimer's and memory retention issues.
