Good luck to anyone who earns money and can buy homes. That isn't the real issue. The issue is that McCain's answers aren't McCain's answers. He has shown over and over again that he only gives answers that are given to him by his "staff". Does that mean McCain wil be the mouthpiece and his "staff" will be the ones running the country? What will he do if the prompter sticks or the letters are too small for him to read? Obama knows how many homes McCain has (7).

Why the hell isn't the Obama campaign painting him as a rich elitist out of touch with ordinary Americans? If Obama thinks he can win this election without going negative then he is in for a shock. I am really frustated at how Obama is running his campaign right now, there is no sense of urgency and passion coming from him right now.
What makes you think Obama is different?

Look at the policies each candidate (and party for that matter) support.

I think the McCain campaign welcomes this - Obama just opened another door that he will regret - IE, the Rezko issue.

This will be good.

Why is obama engaging in personal attacks?

American Politics is now "personal politics" and not "Policy Politics". If it wasn't so serious it would be a joke. People are voting for a person and not his core policies. If Obama is "flavour of the month in Nov. He will win. If McCain is "flavour of the month" in Nov. He will win. Simple...... Policies will take second stage.

Good point. Quite a contrast: the McCain's are rich enough to own multiple houses vs the Obama's who own only one mansion procured through a shady deal. I love it!

Since we do not have a well balanced candidate to choose from this time round, I will go for the "bully" in a pinch, over the wuss. We may well need a McNasty with WW3 on the horizon. He may just have the b*lls to stand up to the plate and recall the President's prime mission--to protect the nation.

McCain donates tons of money, the McCains give money away like it is water, Cindy donates her time and her money to both foreign and domestic people in need.

They are the real deal and do not ask for favors in return for a good deed like your boy does.

Frustration is setting in.

By they way, he wont listen to you the voters, you might as well give up.
Aren't you tired yet? Cuz I sure am tired of reading these.

I Know this from watching the McCains robotic replies and he cannot steer away from stump speech answers and from McCain asking for the lights in the hall to be turned down and the prompter to be brought closer so that he could see it.
