In a new interview with Politico, John McCain said “that he was uncertain how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own.”
“I think — I’ll have my staff get to you,” McCain said. “It’s condominiums where — I’ll have them get to you.”
According to the Progressive Accountability group, the number is an even 10 homes, ranches, condos, and lofts.
The combined cost of McCain’s humble abodes? An estimated $13 823 269.
Feel free to take a tour (courtesy of Google Earth ) of the many McCain residences. Which one is your fave? Or are you too busy trying to get your home out of foreclosure?

No, my home isnt going into foreclosure, I am the only one I guess that doesnt spend more than I make, and sure in the hell didnt lie on my credit application like the thousands of people that did. Karma is biting their butt’s and people blame Bushy on this.
Stooopid people, do stoooopid things. And it is coming to a head.
I really wish that he has the next four years to count his homes, spend lots of time in each of them, doing some hands-on renovating and settling down nicely. Whatever keeps him from moving into the white house is just fine with me.
Bambi boy is so bragging how much money he has spent versus McCain.
Its not going to help him.
Unfucking believeable!!!! You know I was considering McCain but barely… and now there is not doubt that this old son of bitch who is a FAT-CAT to the fullest extent of the word has no idea what we in this country are going through. Talking to everyday Americans like me about foreclosure when the mother fucker doesn’t even know how many homes he own??? 10 at that!!! I WILL NEVER BELIEVE ONE MORE THING FROM THIS PIG!! BARACK OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!!
oh!?!? fear mongering about who’s rich? is EVERYONE else doing soooooo bad?
who cares. the man EXEMPLIFIES a life of public service. as opposed to a life of mystery, radicalism, and ambiguity. cripes even pelosi and boxer voted FOR BIAPA–unlike the permaliar malcolm x jr candidate.
harley…speaking of georgia…i thought this was interesting.
disco dave, why are you prejudiced against someone who has worked his a$$ off and is now wealthy?
sorry harley…the link didn’t let me post…

Obama has lost alot of voters - - Obama’s foreign trip and Russia’s aggression have caused people to have second thoughts about the Illinois senator.
My heart is bleeding ice water.
Straight Talk Express? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! What a LIER. This is brutal. I have lost all respect for this piece of shit.
uh, he didn’t lie.
adam, Wait a minute — you’re criticizing people for hating on McCain for being extremely rich? Weren’t you think one who was dissing Obama for being well-liked and popular during McCain’s cheap “Celebrity” ad?
Owning 10 is entirely selfish. Being well-liked is not a crime.
This is not going to be good for McCain’s camp. 10 houses in ONE country? Give me a break!!!!!!
Adam you are an idiot if you think that a Senator gets paid enough money annually to afford a $13 million real estate portfolio. He is not in touch with this country and has not been since he cheated on his wife and married the Budwieser bitch. I dony want to hate him but this is BRUTAL for a politician. The Clintons, Reagens didnt own 10 HOMES before being elected into office. The Bushs… now that is another story. Put two and two together. I thought you were much brighter!.
He didnt lie.
Look at the shit that your prince is hiding, that alone is something to be pissed off about. If I were you all, I would be demanding YOUR messiah to show this shit!
wait huh? when did i say obama was evil for being well liked. i said he was evil for being a platitude speaking, marxist, lying, mystery man with no experience who wishes to reshape america like his commie parents, church and mentors have designed.
and take your commie a$$ to china if you don’ like it. it’s a free market. i am in real estate and i have EXPERIENCED this exact thing. some clients don’t know how many props they own…especially if their wife or husband is in charge of that department in their lives. seriously, it happens all the time, and mccain didn’t want to LIE like obama, so he said he didn’t know…OOOOH wow. do you care how many homes clooney has? how about the clintons? how about oprah?
who cares!
I have no intentions of voting for him and every intention of voting for Obama but I also have no issues with John and Cindy McCain owning what they own. Why shouldn’t they? I don’t believe in this idea that the rich aren’t intitled to have more because they have more even after coming from one career where I know most don’t play far OR pay their fair share and moving on to another one where “the poorer the middleclass get, the richer the rich become” prevails.
I myself, am not that much of a hater.
Why be jealous of someone that has worked his ass off and saved his money and bought shit?
You are all abunch of shit!
disco dave, i just don’t see how this matters really. is there too much money in politics? YES! does politics attract our best and brightest? NO! have politics degenerated into a bureaucratic incestuous mess of cronyism? YES!
if you allow this to shape your vote, it’s obvious you never were going to vote for him in the first place. who are you kidding?
and to all of you who rip mccain for marrying a rich woman (although i hate how he left his 1st wife, as HE ADMITTED to), i highly doubt you said the same about teresa heinz kerry and i’d bet you’re the same geniuses who don’t think it’s fair to rip on obama’s hatefilled wife.
more class warfare, demonization, and victimization from the party of hate.
wealth is NOT a zero sum game people. mccain owning 10 homes doesn’t mean you all have 0.
OBAMA IS A LIAR!
HE IS HIDING SHIT THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MINDS!
DEMAND THE TRUTH FROM HIM YOU PEOPLE!
DEMAND IT
Your right Adam.
McCain HAS NOT hidden anything from the people, NOTHING.
Yet, they refuse to demand the stuff that bambi boy is hiding!
They are the blind getting lead by the blind!
Barack Obama’s falling poll numbers are his own doing. The more he opens his mouth, the more we see what’s inside his heart and mind-and what we are witnessing does not inspire confidence. In fact, it’s a bit unnerving.
Obama stood before the group and referred to himself as “desi”. Desi is a colloquial term of endearment commonly used by people from South Asia to distinguish themselves as immigrants. As an Indian caller to my radio show on KSFO in San Francisco said, “Desi means I am one of you. Obama was saying he is like them.”
In fact, to further the point, Obama used American street slang to tell the adoring immigrants donors, “I’m a homeboy.”
^^I wub that website, Adam!
So, since my parents own about 7 houses, are they selfish?
I highly doubt it.
There is nothing wrong with having more than one house. None.
Just shows you that they worked hard, saved much.
Why dont you all get off of welfare, get a job, get off of the dope and save it.
Then you two, will be a homeowner.
Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses? Does a guy who worries about the price of arugula and thinks regular people ‘cling’ to guns and religion in the face of economic hardship really want to have a debate about who’s in touch with regular Americans?
The reality is that Barack Obama’s plans to raise taxes and opposition to producing more energy here at home as gas prices skyrocket show he’s completely out of touch with the concerns of average Americans.
Bambi boy? Haven’t heard that one, where does it come from?
When you consider John McCain’s ties to Big Oil, the GOP candidate’s claim to be a political maverick taking on special interests is nothing short of absurd. According to Progressive Media USA, a Washington, DC-based non-profit, the Arizona Senator has benefited handily from the oil sector. Indeed, McCain has netted at least $700,000 from the oil and gas industry since 1989.
.
In Congress, he has worked tirelessly to advance the interests of the oil industry. For example, McCain’s tax plan gives the top five oil companies $3.8 billion a year in tax breaks. McCain meanwhile has voted against reducing dependence on foreign oil, has twice rejected windfall profits tax for Big Oil, and has voted against taxing oil companies to provide a $100 rebate to consumers. If that were not enough, McCain also made a risky political decision recently to back new offshore oil drilling in the US.
.
he’s in bed with the oil companies just like bush and cheney. MCCAIN - BUSH’S THIRD TERM!!
Cindy McCain inherited control of her father’s beer distributorship, the largest in Arizona, and has an estimated worth of more than $100 million.
So, I am highly suprised that they only have SEVEN houses.
harley: the banks hid information from consumers. that many home buyer didn’t lie on their forms. why the hell did all the banks go out? because they lent with FALSE information and LIES, just like our government!
.
mccain was born with a silver oil spoon in his mouth.
You all are just haters - - get over it.
Who cares how many houses he has.

ANSWER POST NUMBER 28 HATERS, ANSWER IT!
This definitely going to hurt McCain with middle class voters and certainly isn’t going to do anything about being touch with average person who doesn’t won 7 or 10 homes. The difference is, Mr. Obama has done everything from scratch based on his work ethic and merit. He obtained a scholarship to Harvard University, became the first non white to be the Editor of the Harvard Law Review and accomplishments go on on. I would want someone like that as President who has been given no excessive wealth through family or marriage. A DO-ER and not a connected person like Mccain. By the way people Obama’s tax plan will reduce taxes for 95% of Americans. Oppps sorry though if you own anywhere more 7 homes you are screwed your taxes are going up.

This isnt going to hurt McCain at all.
His honesty is what is making him lead in the polls.
Obama, isnt willing to be truthful with us.
Senator John McCain received a burst of donations in June from oil company employees after he came out in favor of offshore drilling, according to a report released last week by Campaign Money Watch, a watchdog organization.
But the largest collective response from a single company, the report noted, came from the Hess Corporation. Together, Hess employees or their relatives poured out more than $300,000 to Mr. McCain’s joint fund-raising committee with the Republican National Committee in June, according to campaign finance records.
.
On Monday, after the Web site, Talking Points Memo, listed the names of the Hess contributors, scrutiny fell on a couple, Alice Rocchio, who is identified in campaign finance records as an office manager at Hess, and her husband, Pasquale, who is listed as a foreman at Amtrak.
.
They each gave a whopping $28,500 to Mr. McCain and the Republican National Committee.

- NY TIMES
John McCain Biggest Flip-Flops:
.
* McCain used to champion the Law of the Sea convention, even volunteering to testify on the treaty’s behalf before a Senate committee. Now he opposes it.
.
* McCain was a co-sponsor of the DREAM Act, which would grant legal status to illegal immigrants’ kids who graduate from high school. Now he’s against it.
.
* In 2006, McCain sponsored legislation to require grassroots lobbying coalitions to reveal their financial donors. In 2007, after receiving “feedback†on the proposal, McCain told far-right activist groups that he now opposes the measure.
.
* McCain has been both open and closed to a redeploy-to-perimeter strategy in Iraq.
.
* McCain said before the war in Iraq, “We will win this conflict. We will win it easily.†Four years later, McCain said he knew all along that the war in Iraq war was “probably going to be long and hard and tough.â€
.
* McCain said he was the “greatest critic†of Rumsfeld’s failed Iraq policy. In December 2003, McCain praised the same strategy as “a mission accomplished.†In March 2004, he said, “I’m confident we’re on the right course.†In December 2005, he said, “Overall, I think a year from now, we will have made a fair amount of progress if we stay the course.â€
.
* McCain went from saying he would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade to saying the exact opposite.
.
* McCain went from saying gay marriage should be allowed, to saying gay marriage shouldn’t be allowed.
.
* McCain criticized TV preacher Jerry Falwell as “an agent of intolerance†in 2002, but then decided to cozy up to the man who said Americans “deserved†the 9/11 attacks.
.
* McCain used to oppose Bush’s tax cuts for the very wealthy, but he reversed course in February.
.
* In 2000, McCain accused Texas businessmen Sam and Charles Wyly of being corrupt, spending “dirty money†to help finance Bush’s presidential campaign. McCain not only filed a complaint against the Wylys for allegedly violating campaign finance law, he also lashed out at them publicly. In April, McCain reached out to the Wylys for support.
.
* McCain supported a major campaign-finance reform measure that bore his name. In June, he abandoned his own legislation.
.
* McCain used to think that Grover Norquist was a crook and a corrupt shill for dictators. Then McCain got serious about running for president and began to reconcile with Norquist.
.
* McCain took a firm line in opposition to torture, and then caved to White House demands.
.
* McCain opposed a holiday to honor Martin Luther King, Jr., before he supported it.
.
* McCain was against presidential candidates campaigning at Bob Jones University before he was for it.
.
* McCain was anti-ethanol. Now he’s pro-ethanol.
.
* McCain was both for and against state promotion of the Confederate flag.
.
* McCain decided in 2000 that he didn’t want anything to do with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, believing he “would taint the image of the ‘Straight Talk Express.’†Kissinger is now the Honorary Co-Chair for his presidential campaign in New York.
With oil prices skyrocketing and the economy on the brink of a recession, Americans are looking for candidates up and down the ballot to introduce meaningful plans to provide relief at the pump and put the economy back on track. Yet not all candidates have the American people’s interests foremost in mind. For those like Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) who receive large campaign contributions from the oil and gas industries, helping corporate donors is the top priority. After all, he who pays the piper calls the tune.
This guy is just like George Bush. Only older and more corrupt as he is certainly not as rich as the Bushs. Plus he is in bed with the oil companies by providing 200 billion in tax breaks in his plan. I mean do we need tax breaks like Obama wants or do oil companies. I find him repulsive.
So, he is a real estate investor, who cares. If I could afford to buy homes, I would too. Who among you would not invest in real estate given the history of home prices in this country. This just proves he is smart with his money. Whoever put this together, the reason you don’t have this many homes is because the government doesn’t and shouldn’t hand out homes, they are EARNED!
I have learned that you can talk blue in the face……………..You all are Democrates, that is what you all want running this Nation.
Bottom Line is this.
November will show us, who the greater majority wants.
You all and even I, can point out the “evil empires” of each.
But you know what………..Im tired of it.
I will be the good American that my parents raised, and I will vote.
I will vote for the man that I feel that isnt a pussy, that will stand up and fight in all areas, that wont take my guns, nor mock my God.
The rest of you, I do pray for you.
I don’t care how much money the McCains have, but when you consider that they have tried to portray Obama as an elite, it just reeks of hypocrisy. Unlike John McCain, Barack Obama got where he is by his own hard work, nothing was handed to him. McCain graduated in the bottom 1% of his class and only became a pilot because his father and grand-father were admirals in the navy. While in the navy he crashed several planes, was considered an inferior officer, and consequently the Navy has refused to release his complete record because that would go against the campaign rhetoric. Every four years the Republicans attack the Democrats with the same Socialism/Marxism label and some of you are stupid enough to believe it. If middle class and poor people in this country vote for John McCain thinking that he has your best interests at heart, you said and thought the same thing about Bush, how’d that work out for you? And lastly to the person who criticized the thousands of Americans who have lost their homes, perhaps you need to do some research. The majority of the fault for mortgage crisis can be laid at the door of de-regulation spearheaded by Phil Gramm who happens to be John McCain’s chief economic advisor. And by the way he is also the guy responsible for the Enron loophole that costs thousands of Americans their retirement and ironcially enough, he’s also the guy who’s in line to be the Treasury Secretary under McCain. If you vote for McCain you know exactly what you’re going to get: more war and an even greater economic downturn. Stop listening to those idiots at Fox News and talk radio and do your own research.
Im not understanding all of this talk of the economy on the brink of a recession, all of these foreclosures and shit.
My state is freaking BOOMING, all areas…In fact my state is the only “Recession Proof State” per Forbes.
So, I dont see all of these gloom and doom that you all type about
Hell, move here and get over yourselves.

I why wait for Obama to spill if you know something so damaging that it’ll stop people in their tracks? Isn’t it rather silly to even dare suggest something so vehemently and have nothing to back it up with? It makes you look dumb, silly, childish and ridiculous.

I reiterate that I have no problem with them owning 10 or 50 homes, but this idea that McCain is “one of the people” is as much of a joke as saying Cindy isnt an elite and loving it. There’s an excellent essay written by one of the POW’s who spent 8yrs (5 of them w/McCain) in the same camp. He point by point breaks down the real story. He doesn’t dump on JMcCain, but he removes the Maverick-Every Man-Hero glow and talks about real life from before capture, during imprisonment, and post repatriation, and why he can’t give a guy he’s known almost 50yrs his vote.
You can find it at Military.com
At least McCain is one of us.
Unlike Obama saying he is QUOTE:

To me, just a regular American Joe, the term HOMEBOY means BLACK MAN aka: *igger
POINT FUCKING BLANK.
There appears to be a bit of panic in the Obama camp. Ayers and the infanticide issue are not going away, and the appearance of a cover-up on Obama’s relationship to Annenberg and Bill Ayers only draws more attention to his track record of failure as a reformer.
Obama’s team is now playing defense. Middle East advisor Daniel Kurtzer’s freelancing visit to Syria also hurts. Russia, fresh off an ugly aggression into Georgia, is signing new defense treaties with Syria. Jimmy Carter will speak at the Convention. Neither helps Obama with the Jewish vote, which is slipping away bit.
I think the Obama campaign thought they would coast to a win, and shock people by the margin due to their ground game investment paying off with many new voters. They simply got too full of themselves. This showed up in Obama’s overseas trip, which should have been limited to Israel, Jordan, Iraq and Afghanistan — places where the candidate could learn the facts on the ground. In London, Berlin, and Paris, it appeared that Obama was grandstanding as a presumptive President, not a presumptive nominee of his party.
No one can predict the bounces that will occur from two conventions held back to back, a rarity. But what the Obama team could control — the timing of their VP selection, they appear to have punted on third down.

Sorry to say, but he is being exposed in so many areas, and all he had to do was be honest with the American people.

Want more war and hardship for America? Please watch this video. PLEASE think twice before you vote McCain. We have so much on the line and we are nailing the final nail in our coffins by electing another Bush into office. I am scared for this country.
Some people have the way with words, and the personality so electric that they can get a way with the contradiction of their messages, and the enigma of their very selves. Obama has been riding high on the campaign trail mostly because of his way with his speeches. However, a deep, discerning thought can unmask him.
The contridiction: He is saying that he is the agent of unification, of hope, of reconciliation. Beautiful words, and, truly, very high aspirations that we can easily identify with. Who wouldn’t want that in these United States with a stark history of racial inequality and, at present, racial distrust. Then here comes his pastor spewing all those venom that flips Obama’s call for the opposite. Granting that he did not say those words, at least in public, but his pastor, instead, the fact that he is going to this Church for twenty years and listening to this same pastor begs the question of his acceptance, if not approval of such views. Pronouncements like his pastor’s are not the kind that just slip out of nowhere; they are the kind that are deeply embedded in the psyche. Which then follows that in all of twenty years, it is very unlikely that this same pastor has not made the same pronouncements in his sermons, where Obama and his family are in audience.
First, he refused to denounce his pastor, and tried to play with words again in his speech in Philadelphia. Some bought that same spin, but the majority saw some sense and withheld the votes from him, thus his defeat in Pennsylvania. Then, more of the same pronouncements from the pastor came out, and he finally denounced him.
An intelligent question should be: Did he denounce his pastor because, as the popular media keep on hammering, he is hurting Obama’s campaign, and nothing else? Is it authenticity, or expediency? This is a contradiction that should give us the reason to keep a hold of our emotion, and use our head, instead.
There are so much to know about him, for he just shoots out of nowhere. The fact that he is so close to being an enigma, is one thing that may give us all pause to collect all the facts about him, and where he really stands.
The frenzy we have about him is scary. Germany had the same frenzy about Hitler in the 1930s. There were contradictory signs about him, but the Germans ignored them, for Hitler played on the very basic nerve that appealed to the Germans at that time: restoration of German pride after its defeat in WW I.
Obama has contradictions written all over him and is also playing with our deepest need: the restoration of American pride at the time of our morale and economic hardships, both at home and in the world stage.
Candidates like him play more with generalities, with so much to be desired for in terms of specifics. The popular media has lavished him with so much accommodation, but it is us, not the media, who will live with our choices in November 2008.
i’m pretty sure mccain knows what it’s like to be in the doldrums.
While McCain is not my choice for President, I could not vote for Obama unless I totally hated the United States and did not care if it was handed over on a silver platter to Iran, or some such nation. I could not vote for Clinton unless I wanted to become a Marxist nation or did not care how our nation ends up. I believe McCain at least cares for the Constitution and would uphold it. The other two would throw it out.
As for the Republican aristocracy destroying the American dream, the American dream was destroyed with Social Security, welfare, medicaid and medicare, and all the entitlements that steals from one to give to another. Pork barrel spending has also wiped out a lot of American dreams. Now if you think the American dream means “let me see what I can do for me with your money,” then the Marxist Democrats are the way for you. However, let me suggest that you go to Russia, China, Iran or the one that does already does it your way.
Look at this post and tell me what you get out of it…
McCain leads on who has better Experience (71%-18%)
and who has better knowledge of World Affairs (65%-24%)
Vs
Obama has big majorities on which candidate would bring needed Change to Washington (59%-29%)
better personality and temperament (56%-32%)
better understands people’s problems (54%-35%)
and has a clearer vision for the future (54%-34%).
NOW WHO DO YOU WANT TO RUN THIS NATION?
A: The guy who has Experience and Understands the World
or B: a nice guy.
Um, Experience please.
I do prefer a country where business is coddled by the government, health and safety of Americans come second to business making a profit, and where regulation is not needed because private sectors can regulate themselves. That has worked so well. I find it pretty amusing all these people (see Anonymous above) who scoff at these things yet seem to forget history. The reforms that happened in the 1800’s to better our health and lives would have never happened under Republican control. I am honestly perplexed by people who vote Republican when they are just shooting themselves in the foot. In particular, if you are middle or lower class. I am also amazed that you think we can just continue on with wars. You whine about SS, medicare etc. What the hell kind of BILLIONS have we spent in Iraq. My god, get your head out of your asses. I am telling you that McCain is not getting elected. America has finally woken up. Thank God.
is mccain connected to oil?
yes.
does obama say he’s NOT connected to oil?
yes.
is obama connected to oil?
yes, in fact he’s connected to OIL FOR FOOD. (please liberals know what this means)

at least those are legal campaign contributions…more than i can say for a lot of obama’s take.
I agree, to disagree with post number 59.
*If as you state, America has woken up, then why is your boy falling behind in the polls?
hairball.
it is not EITHER BUSINESS MAKES PROFITS or people live safely and healthfully. think for a second at how ridiculous that sounds. think of the luxuries in your life. they are almost all here because of business. desire for profit, the ability to take an idea and make money if it’s a good idea; and in a part, greed. the problem in my eyes is when there are monopolies, which we now have in almost every sector…but then again, the bipartisan GOV’T is a monopoly too.
you are spot on about us needing gov’t. i like stop signs. keeps my car nice. the FDA which bush and clinton have riddled is also insanely important.
but to make it a decision of extremes is not right. business almost ALWAYS beats the gov’t at tasks besides ‘defending us from foreign and domestic enemies.’
Celine, you just made me realize something. I disagree about McCain knowing the world and understanding it. In my humble and totally irrelevant opinion he is a dangerous ignorant idiot, but that is just me. Obama seems like a nice guy, but I have to agree, he has no experience, he is a wild card, and I can understand that the US people do not want to play that wild card. BUT - what made thinking people vote for Obama as a candidat in the first place? The democrates had the perfect candidate - experience, intelligence, knowledge about the world and a brain to understand what is going on - and they managed to ignore all that because she is a woman? Goor god, what world are you poor people living in?
You Americans deserve McCain as a president.

She Rides A Harley, I’m going to take a leap here and predict you are lower to middle class economic status. I’m also going to take a huge leap and predict you have no idea when or how your Representative and Congressperson votes on bills. You have no idea what bills or proposals come to floor and how they would effect you. Instead, as with many lower class Republicans, you go to your not very well paying job with not great benefits, watch only FOX news or your local news, have no idea our past policies and other countries’ past policies and how that ultimately effected us and instead keep yourself propped up with superficial “I love America” and sound bites from the Republican Party who are banking on everything I just said about voters like you is true. In reality, voting Republican does not help you, the quality of your life, or your family member, I believe son?, in Iraq.
what made thinking people vote for Obama as a candidat in the first place?
- its who he is tied to that has lots of money that bought this ticket for him.
The democrates had the perfect candidate - experience, intelligence, knowledge about the world and a brain to understand what is going on - and they managed to ignore all that because she is a woman?
- the media killed her along with her cheatin husband that hurt her campaign.

Im far from poor, and I love this country very much thank you
^^^^^ Representative and Senators
http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/ Subscribe to this for how exactly and what you’re Representative and Senators are voting for.
Nope, if I have to have a “name” on my income, I am doing honestly well. If you need to know myself (not including my better half) I bring in close to 100K a year. And thats not to shabby considering I live in Oklahoma. (Oh, and my company the largest in Oklahoma devon energy, all of my insurance is paid 100%), the company pays up to 10% on my 401K, I have 3 weeks of paid vacation, and the perks are just awesome to say the least.
I do stay up to date as much as I can, with the voting and whom votes yes and nay.
And yes, I come from a family which has always been in the military. And I am proud of that.
..So I dont understand your question, if there is even one there, which I highly doubt there was. You just want to be nosiey.
Did I satisfy your sugar crave?
I think the right choice is Obama. He has earned everything through hard work and intelligance. He has captivated the world and is the person that will bring America back to respectability. Your current adminastration basically destroyed your economy through a war without just cause. Now you are even considering a 72 year old who says he will stay in Iraq for 100 years? I hope most of you are smarter than that!
Also….
My home is paid for, on land.
I have a 2600 sq foot home on 20 acres of land.
I am a proud mother of a son in the military and honestly you need to remember this:
HOME OF THE FREE
BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE.

Not really, and I don’t believe you actually. Encourage you to subscribe to the Congressional website so you can educate yourself a little better.
It will all come out in the wash in November.
You all can call me names, hate on my family and my values.
But IF your guy becomes president…..as I have stated before…..
Do not run to me for anykind of protection. As I am a very proud gun owner. I do not rely on my state or local cops to protect me. And if you do, your screwed.
Your the one that voted him in.
Yes, ‘freedom isn’t free’ when we actually need to attack another country and destroy theirs as well as our lives. Much easier isn’t it to be uneducated, uninformed, spout one-liners, and blindly follow a President like a child then face harsh reality.
I dont care what you think hairball.
I honestly do not have to prove myself to you or others.
I know how I live, where I live, and how much money I have in my checking/savings/IRA/CD/401K, and including my wallet.
Your arguements are quite childish to say the least.
Good Day.
I bet hairballs mother is jane fonda
For someone who doesn’t seem to care, you’ve just spent all the past posts documenting your supposed assets. You don’t have to prove yourself to anyone. Honestly, I feel sorry for you and others who vote Republican who clearly have no clue it’s not helping them. Do what you want. On November 4th when McCain loses, educated, informed, and people with a conscience will have spoken. Really, good luck to you.
It’s ‘argUment’ by the way
\I will do want I want.
I will vote for a man that isnt a pussy, and will stand up for what it right.
That wont back down and understands that “war is hell” even on the home front.
And Obama, just doesnt have the experience, nor the leadership that I need.
Just vote,
and then, If I am wrong, I will eat crow.
So glad that your head spell checker.
I feel safe.
“That wont back down and understands that “war is hell†even on the home front.” Vietnam, Korean, Iraq wars. Hell that should not have happened. But continue to wear your bedazzled Walmart sweatshirt, waving your American flag without a clue. Pretty f*cking scary.
^^^ ‘won’t’ It’s ‘you’re’ head spell checker. This is a mistake I’ve made too when hurrying to post. But kind of suspect you might not be aware of the grammatical rule.
And tell me why they shouldn’t have happened? …..
You are just belittling yourself with your statements toward me.
Honestly, re-read that last one.
You are a true Democrat, degrading, and belittling people, that one day could save your ass.
Wal-Mart is hell. Wal-Mart is so anti-American it isn’t even funny.
You are a true one.
Your the reason, why I cant stand your party.
Your rude, hateful, and just out and out full of themselves.
I have never met a Democrat that was freaking nice.
Do they even exist?
Why cant you show me that.
LOL Celine. I still think that the use of a cigar in Monicas vagina was something I did not need to know. But all in all, divorcing Bill would have killed Hillarys chances, because of “Stand by your man” and staying with him now kills her chances because he is a cheater. She cannot win anyway, no matter what experience she has. And now you want to tell me that Obama cannot win because he has no experience at all? Do you realize how stupid that argument is considering all facts?
On a side note: Your 8 best sprinters can’t make it into the final 400-meter relay preliminary heat, because they are unable to pass a stick between them. That is men and females alike. Remember it!
Ah, saved by the bell.
We will finish this belittling of MOI tomorrow.
\Since you got way off topic and got on me.
After 8 years of Bush thanks to people like you voting him as well as other reasons well known why he was ‘elected’, I’m tired of being nice and reasonable. I’ve had ENOUGH. I said before I was done with politics on here and this time I am forcing myself to do it. It’s not enjoyable and I’m not doing it anymore on this site.
Tony rezko, Bill Ayers ,,Bernadine Dohrn, Jeremiah Wright , Louis Farrakhan, Infanticide (ask Jill Stanek)Father Pfleger, marxist black liberation theology, Oprah , the Mainstream Media, New York times, LA times all reasons to vote MCCAIN.
********News Flash Mccain DEATH THREAT, enevelope with white powder in Denver.********News
Alright, I came back on to apologize to She Rides A Harley. I’m done with discussing politics on here.
Sorry, forgot to say and have to say it. I was being ironic with the Walmart sweatshirt comment while someone waves an American flag, because yes, totally, Walmart is not ‘American’.
hairball, would you quit with the ‘people like you’ BS? where do i fit? i used to be a rabid liberal like the rest of my family and college and community. and further, why is it that people who change political views almost always go from left to right? think about it.
i mean, if republicans are so backwards, racist, and red-necked, and from the fly over states, then why are they all so ‘rich’ as you say? do you know that 40% of this country pays no income taxes? under a bush administration?
i can just as easily point to the black community and their undying, retarded allegiance to the democrat plantation, as an example of people who vote against their interests. and truthfully, the only people who vote for their interests that are democrats are either marxists or people who live cradle to the grave in the entitlement state.
rich people have never paid more taxes than under bush. you have never heard of the laffer curve, so wtf do you know?
Can’t believe that there are 91(!!!) posts on this topic. Truly, who really cares how many homes McCain owns? Total non-issue AFAIC. Ppl should focus on the candidates’ platforms rather than partisan bullshit.
Im not understanding all of this talk of [cancer] on the brink of [being terminal], all of these [deaths] and shit.
My [health] is freaking BOOMING, all areas…In fact my [body is cancer] Proof….
So, I dont see all of these gloom and doom that you all type about
Hell, [have my health] and get over yourselves.
McCain is flossing and taking no shorts. Sorry, but ol’ boy is coming right at Obama. Apologozing for being rich is so passe. Go ‘head with your bad self McCain. Obama needs to seriously stop playing poor and apologizing for being paid. He also needs to cease liking celebrity, and start learning the art of being coy and pretending to not like it. He’s getting overexposed. This is from an Obama supporter, not fan, there is a difference. But McCain is growing on me…
The presumptive Republican nominee, though, may have some wiggle room in explaining why he couldn’t immediately provide an answer when asked by Politico how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own. Sen. McCain himself does not own any of the properties. They’re all owned by Cindy McCain, her dependent children and the trusts and companies they control.
The reality is that Barack Obama purchased his million-dollar mansion in a shady deal involving a convicted felon, and it raises questions about his ethics and judgment.
