X Houses + One Parking Lot
The Dem-fueled flap about John McCain's inability to recall how many houses he and his wealthy wife own could be punctuated with this tidbit:
The McCains also claim a family ... parking lot. Gasp! A pricey parking lot at that. It's valued at more than $1M, according to the senator's 2007 financial disclosure report, and is listed as: "Assets and Income of Cindy McCain and dependent children."
So the McCains own multiple actual homes, and Cindy McCain and her children own a parking lot that costs more than four times the $218K median 2007 U.S. home price.
That's a lot of bunches of arugula.

And so it begins.... This is great...
Can you specify which page of the 51 page disclosure document this property is listed on? I can't seem to find it with the other property.
Oh no, McCain's wife is Rich? We didn't know that. At least McCain doesn't think that middle Amercians are a bunch a bitter hicks clinging to guns and God.
Do you really know what McCain thinks about middle America?
"At least McCain doesn't think that middle Amercians are a bunch a bitter hicks clinging to guns and God"
No, Jane, he thinks Americans are stupid fools who can be convinced to believe anything if they are kept frightened enough.
And he thinks they won't notice when he lies repeatedly.
When he thinks of them at all.
And if you're going to quote Obama, you could at least try and get it right, but then, if you did, you wouldn't be able to use it as an insulting attack on him, because Obama never called Americans, "bitter hicks".
It was the McCain campaign that called Americans a "nation of whiners". Get it straight, Jane.
Better yet, wake up. Nobody in the McCain campaign is interested in your life, your welfare, your future or your country. All they care about is their power and profits. Lying to you to get what they want is just part of the gig for them.
oh come on man you gringos are a bunch of bitter hicks clinging to your guns and your bibles, I know you should have seen you guys at the border. But things are getting better every day when B.husain O. gets into office and takes away your guns, it will just make it better for everyone, especially me and mine. You guys need to lighten up a little and start injoying what little time you have left as the majority, it wont belong now.
Contrast the multiple homes of Cindy McCain and her children to the literal third-world shack of Obama's youngest brother. It's blue-blooded vs. cold blooded.
How could Barack, who made 4 million last year, allow a sibling (who he met in 2006) to live like that? What a total dick! If he cares so little for HIS OWN FAMILY, why the hell would he care about the rest of us?
ObamaBro, meeting your brother, who lives half way around this world, and not giving him anything is still better than CUTTING OFF your family after you inherit your father's empire.
You 'pull-oneself-up-from-the-bootstraps' and 'give-a-way-hating' types are frothing at the mouth so much this year that your nearly devouring yourselfs!
Thanks for the laughs

That is EXACTLY the point, Jen. Yes. Thank you.
The real, revealing story coming from the "How Many Houses" Fiasco and the "What is Rich?" Fiasco is that every single one of the McSame talking points are PROJECTIONS of McCain's failures onto Obama. Try it:
Elitist,
celebrity,
poor judgment,
lack of real experience,
bad on the economy,
out of touch,
arrogant,
doesn't care about real Americans,
poor ethical standing,
will say anything to get elected.
Every single one of those is a VERY REAL, VERY PROVABLE SHORTFALL of the McSame candidate.
There are clear cut real-life examples of each of those in McSame's life and candidacy.
That is the REAL scandal emerging from the houses fiasco.
McCain's talking points don't attack Obama's weaknesses, they actually attack Obama for McSame's weaknesses.
It would be one thing if they were at all true about Obama (which they are clearly not). It would be still another if they were even perceived weaknesses (which they really are not). But it is something totally different -- a total, utter lack of foresight -- to think that those lines of attack won't eventually be figured out as McSAME's collective Achilles Heels.
I think that's why this story has legs everywhere you look. And it's why this story is SO damaging to the long-term prospects of McSame's candidacy over the coming months. It really shines the light on not just McSame's wealth and 'out-of-touch' behavior, but the FACT that ALL of McSame's political attacks are blatantly fraudulent lies (concocted by Rovian gutter-politics). And that they CAN and WILL be used against him.
As Barack Obama goes on the offensive across the board (as he should), watch as the GOP tries new and equally pathetic lines of attack. The response from the Obama Campaign will be, "Oh this is just another one of those fake attacks that doesn't hold water and cannot be believed. More of the McSame from the GOP."
America has figured it out, folks.
At this stage in the game, with the Economy, Iraq, Energy, Corporate Tax Breaks, Foreign Lobbying, Offshore Drilling, etc... The GOP is simply not believable on any of these issues. They are too interested in political expediency and political favoritism and partisan wedge issues, and they are just too in bed with lobbyists and corporate interests to be truthful to the American people.
Frankly, the amazing thing is that it was McSAME who opened up this can of worms by being so blatantly out of touch. Veritable PROOF that the Obama/Dem line of attack is DEAD ON while McSame's are lies.
Watch as the Excitement Gap (pro-Obama/anti-McSame) grows over the coming weeks, and the polls follow suit.
Cindy Sister,
The only laughs are at you for not being smart enough to know how to post a comment only once. The kool-aid drinking lap-dogs like yourself and Ethan who have made Obama out a God, are now desperately lashing out at anyone who questions your deity. Ethan's last post is only the most recent example. "You dare to question the Obama! Then you are only projecting YOUR flaws onto him!" Sure thing, Dr. Phil. I guess dime-store psychology is better than playing the racist card, or patriotism card, or any of the rest of Obama's losing deck.
Here's another first for Barack: He would be the first president to have a sibling living in a third-world shack! If third-world poverty is good enough for his family, its good enough for you!
Obama doesn't believe he needs to help his brother, that's what government taxes are for!
Shorter ObamaBro + XL22:
"Oh sh*t, we've got nothing."
I guess if you were going to try to defend your candidate, that would've been the time. But I'm glad you didn't, because it means you both agree that there is no viable way for you to explain your candidate's poorly managed campaign based on lies.
Keep up the attacks, because as I said in my previous post, America has finally figured out John McSame and his Bush/Rove sponsored gang of liars.
