Help John McCain count his houses! 1, 2, 3, 4, ... 7 or 10?
After Republican presumptive presidential candidate John McCain couldn't tell a "Politico" reporter exactly how many houses he owns ("I've have my staff get back to you?"), well, the you-know-what hit the proverbial fan. Reports vary on how many abodes McCain owns, lives in, owns but lets his daughter live in, rents, etc., as the above video asserts.
But one thing is certain: Owning more than one house does make the notion that Democratic presumptive presidential candidate Barack Obama is an "elitist" seem a tad off-base. Which is probably why McCain's house call instantly became fodder for Barack's new TV campaign ad.
Check out one of John and Cindy McCain's homes in Hidden Valley, Ariz., in House and Garden.
What do you think? How many houses is too many for one couple? And what about the ecological impact of maintaining that many homes?
Isn't that a pretty darn big carbon footprint for McCain?
Do you care how many homes he has?
Funny how Reagan, Bush 1 and Bush 2 are all "fiscal conservatives" and yet ran up incredible deficits. Clinton, the "tax and spend liberal", gave us 8 years of prosperity and a budget surplus. McCain says hes a "fiscal conservative", do the math!
McCain cheated on his 1st wife with a wealthy woman he later married (Cindy McCain) to get his wealth.
It is absolutely amazing that those who never lived in Chicago characterize The Machine and upstate politics in general. It is by far not the most innocent mechanism of politics, but it IS the way things are done. Nobody really likes it, but its widely understood that you will get absolutely nothing done without working within this system. Obama knew this and worked within it (legally I might add). He committed no crime, nor has he ever been implicated in it. His crime was a guilt by association by working within The Machine and its laws. He is still considered an outsider by most of the Aldermen and party bosses.
This ability to get things done within the constraints of our existing political system is a mark of a successful politician. McCain is adept at this as well, and has a history of getting dirty in order to get things done. Keating, anyone?
MULTI HOUSING FAMILY
Though the wealth is both his and his spouse's,
And he fancies he's close to the throne,
Politicians who live in glass houses
Should be briefed on how many they own.

Light verse, ripped from the headlines
Since the Rat party has shown this is the way they want to play it, time for gloves off.
Time to start running ads on Obama's Bi-Sexuality and drug use.
We'll play your game all day long. Rats are getting deperate if this is all they have - and it shows.
Didn't you see the entire answer to the question? Cindy McCain has many homes, some for personal use between family members and some for investment purposes that are rented or leased to others. Do you think he should concern himself with the number of homes in his wife's portfolio? Do you know how many pairs of shoes your husband owns? McCain doesn't seem like the kind of person to take a wild guess just to answer a question.
An Elitist is an attitude, Obama fits it,
not McCain. How many investments Cindys trust lawyer handles, probably does'nt matter to John, but if he gave the wrong answer, he'd be pounced on. How many houses and investment properties do you think Ted Kennedy or John Kerry has? The answer... WHO CARES>
Well? Which one your videos is correct? The first video says that the McCains own 10 homes and approved Obama Smear Ad says that they own 7 valued at $13million total. Where are the three phantom homes and where are they located?
What a pity. Mc
cain, Obama both filthy rich!
Yeah, this is sooo important! lol
