Of course I have seven or eight houses. Who doesn’t?
John “Man of the People” McCain is just like everyone else. He has seven or eight, or nine or 25 houses. Who can remember?
I sympathize entirely. Sometimes I come back from the supermarket and forget which house I am living in that day. I end up at the Tuesday house when I am supposed to be at the Friday house. I go out to buy a new chandelier for the Saturday manse and then can’t recall where it’s supposed to fit in the Thursday palace.
It takes me weeks to collect the mail from my McCain-like housing development. I pay the electricity on McMansion No. 3 (which used to be a play on MacDonalds but actually reflects McCain’s unaffordable housing spree) and discover that No. 6 is in the dark, and that’s where I am hanging one of my hats that day.
But everyone has that same problem, don’t they? Everyone, every man of the people, knows that the people each own house after house after house.
McCain contributes to the economy by having all these houses. Just because he can’t remember where they are is nothing to hold against him. He is a man of the people. The Very Rich People.
Denis,
How many houses does man-0f-the-people Ted Kennedy own?
what’s that got to do with it? Kennedy isn’t running for anything, except his life. And, in fact, he HAS stood up for the people backing real people issues for a whole generation. McCain hasn’t done anything like that at all but makes believe that he does and smears others as elitist.
But why drag other people into it? That’s cheap and cynical and a diversion — like his punk campaign manager bringing up McCain’s POW time
as a defense that he lives like a lord now. come on.
Denis,
You just made my point for me: Kennedy “HAS stood up for the people backing real people issues for a whole generation.”
A man’s record on the issues is far more important than how many homes he owns. Talk about diversions …
No, not at all. Not unless your point is that McCain is a hypocrite for claiming to be a man of the people when his record and his lifestyle are exactly the opposite — while Kennedy has never been silly enough to pretend to be anything but from a wealthy family but who, houses aside, has actually done good work for the people.
McCain created this diversion by his unrelenting smearing of Obama as an elitist when he lives like a pasha, is a convicted plaything of the lobbyists, is a recovering philanderer by his own admission. Same rules for both guys would be nice.
gotta run
McCain is one of the biggest phonies on the planet. But unfortunately Obama is rapidly catching up with him. So my choice for prez will boil down to which hypocrite I detest least. How sad.
McCain’s on record saying economics and arithmetic aren’t his strengths. Maybe not knowing how many houses he has is evidence he can’t do the math. And, uh, Denis and Terry. You need a ref to get between you two, I have some experience in that area. Get back to your corners, your cut men are waiting.
Exxon John, McCain that is wants to build about three dozen nucular plants all around the country. I hope he’s not one of those secret not in my backyard guys, otherwise that plan will never fly.
