Of Course McBush Knows How Many Houses & Parking Lots He Owns!
He just didn't want to say. That dodge was his usual response to inconvenient questions only this time he's getting nailed for it.


“The answer, according to the group Progressive Accountability, is an even 10 homes, ranches, condos, and lofts, together worth a combined estimated $13,823,269.

John and Cindy McCain own a plethora of houses spread throughout the United States, including: two beachfront condos in Coronado, California, condo in La Jolla, California, a two-unit condominium complex in Phoenix, Arizona, three ranch houses located outside of Sedona, Arizona, a high-rise condo in Arlington, Virginia, a rental loft, and, according to GQ, a loft they bought for their daughter, Meghan.”

2. It doesn't matter if he knows
If he made the statement that he doesn't know we nail him either way.

He is a fucking liar and afraid to expose to the public just how elite he is.

Or

He has a memory problem and is too feeble to be president.

4. Or, you know...

just how many houses do you have to own to not even know how many houses you own? I know how many houses I own. I'm sure everyone else here can keep track of their houses as well.

I don't know how many socks I own though. This guy goes through houses like socks! How disgusting is that?

7. For McMansions it can be compared to most people ...
not knowing how many pairs of socks you own, or how many CD's you have in your entertainment center.

Or maybe how many books you have on your bookshelf.

8. That Is My Point
When he doesn't want to answer a question, because the answer is not palatable, he deflects with a stupid a$$ed response, which the media usually lets him get away with. This time is different. That's the way it is in politics, you never know what's going to backfire.

9. California is a different bird alltogether.
Edited on Thu Aug-21-08 12:42 PM by YOY
There are a good deal more high paying jobs in California and a good deal more mediocre paying jobs in DC.

That doesn't prevent regular folks fom gettting the shart there though.
