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 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. |

I don't think one day of McCain's military experience is relevant to the job he is seeking. 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 |

Really?

Oh yeah - you've got a real winner there Harry - a real prize - somebody who can relate to the "average" American. "A man who has never...spent any time in the military..." sounds like a great step forward. We have a president who "spent time in the military" right now, and he's an incompetent fool. 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. |

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? |
