Shock!! McCain owns more houses than Kerry!!

[ben_meyers]

And you know how the GOP slammed John for being wealthy and out of touch. We need to push this at every turn! McCain is an old rich white Republican, that's a real turnoff to his base.

1. I hope Kerry gets to respond to this as one of Obama's chosen

seven surrogates.

2. This issue is so stupid ...

The "housing issue" was bad for Kerry because he was appealing to the dispossessed ... however, McCain is appealing to the well-to-do and to those who HOPE to own 7 houses. This issue is actually a GOOD thing for McCain. And people wonder why dems can't run campaigns ...

3. McSame isn't telling the GOP base "I'm stupid rich, vote for me", he's trying to make out like he's

...a regular guy and this goes to the heart of that.

This is spot on and should be a meme for a while for Obama

5. uponit7771...I see you're point.

I'm just saying that being rich never seems to hurt Republicans as much as Democrats. I think what might hurt McCain more, is the image that he divorced his 1st wife and married into tremendous wealth to furthur his political ambitions. (I think this is also what hurt Kerry ... his wife keeping the "Heinz" in her name didn't help matters).

6. Stop spewing RW talking points

Everyone knows that the RW portrayal of Kerry was BS.

"his wife keeping the "Heinz" in her name didn't help matters"?

8. Well, Kerry did not divorce to marry into wealth. His divorce was finalized 7 years before he

remarried and 3 years before John Heinz died. But thanks for the interesting theory.

4. I will not stand by and watch the Obama camp try to claim McCain owns seven homes

I will not stand by and watch the Obama camp try to claim McCain owns seven homes when he owns at least ten. -- Josh Marshall

Hmm. $4 million? John McCain said just the other day that's not "rich." So yeah, let's have that debate.

Question one: How many damn houses do you have, Grumpy?

Answer: Umm, umm...

Sorry, you lose.

7. Well, Kerry owns 1/2 of the house (a big one though). The rest belongs to the Heinz family.

BTW, does the house belong to John or Cindy or both.

9. McMansion is an elitist snob. This doesn't surprise me in the least!

what an arrogant jerk!
