Does anyone here not know how many houses they own?

Robert --

If somebody asked you, you probably wouldn't have to think about it.

But when a reporter asked John McCain how many houses he owns, he stumbled and said, "I think -- I'll have my staff get to you."

If you're like the millions of people who are struggling to keep up with their mortgage, you might have a different perspective.

Not only does John McCain have trouble keeping track of all his houses, he looks at record gas prices and a crippling foreclosure crisis and thinks the economy is fundamentally "strong." And last weekend he said anyone making less than $5 million a year isn't rich.

This is the side of John McCain his campaign wants to hide.

So yesterday, we launched a TV ad to show everyone how out-of-touch John McCain is with the economic realities of regular Americans.

But if we're going to get the truth out, it's going to take all of us working together to make it happen.

The more we hear from John McCain about the economy, the more we see just how out-of-touch he is.

You don't have to be an economist to understand that we can't afford eight more years, or four more years, or even one more year of the same failed economic policies that George Bush has put in place.

Now we need your help to make sure the word gets out.

Watch our ad now and write a letter to your local papers:

If John McCain understood what Americans are dealing with, he'd know that we need to be doing more.

Barack has a plan to cut taxes for middle class families by $1,000 and offer students who perform community service a $4,000 tax break to pay for college tuition. But John McCain's tax plan does nothing for 101 million middle class families.

Barack will set the minimum wage to rise with inflation. But John McCain is more concerned about making sure limits on campaign contributions rise with inflation -- and he's voted against raising the minimum wage 19 times.

That's a difference that should be easy to remember.

Thanks for your help,

David

Some church-goer's are dangerous people.

Folks, there's a MENSA member in our midst.

Time to bask in the overwhelming intellectual outpouring that we're witnessing here on this historic day.

For the other 99% of you that actually comprehended the statement I was making, congratulations.

Perhaps someone can explain to our Jersey constituent (in small, elementary words) the meaning of what I said...

In a nutshell, the surreptitious drawing of a cross (or a fish in many instances) is a common and frequently-occurring method of communicating one's faith in Jesus in a climate or envronment where it is patently unsafe to do so.

My email from Barack's campaign...( I love grassroots support )...

You should email him back and ask him if he's bought gas lately (down $1/gal) or if he's seen the Dow today (up 200 points)... Ask if BO is taking credit for that already... Make sure to also ask him why most pundits and political scholars rank Mac higher than BO on the economy and world affairs...

..and thank him for recognizing your intellectual handicap with his statement:

"That's a difference that should be easy to remember.

But when a reporter asked John McCain how many houses he owns, he stumbled and said, "I think -- I'll have my staff get to you."

If you're like the millions of people who can't properly budget you might have a different perspective.

Not only does John McCain have trouble keeping track of all his houses, he looks at record gas prices and a crippling foreclosure crisis and thinks the economy is fundamentally "strong." And last weekend he said anyone making less than $5 million a year isn't rich.

This is the side of John McCain's campaign that is well known.

So yesterday, we launched a TV ad to show everyone how right John McCain is with the economic realities of regular Americans.

But if we're going to get the truth out, it's going to take all of us working together to make it happen.

The more we hear from John McCain about the economy, the more we see just how right he is.

You don't have to be an economist to understand that we can't afford eight more years, or four more years, or even one more year of the same failed economic policies that generations of politicians both democratic and republican that came before George Bush have put in place.

Now we need your help to make sure the word gets out.

If Obama understood what Americans are dealing with, he'd know that it's their fault.

Barack has a plan to cut taxes for middle class families by $1,000 and offer students who perform community service a $4,000 tax break to pay for college tuition. But John McCain's tax plan does nothing more for 101 million middle class families.

Barack will strangle small business by setting the minimum wage to rise with inflation. But John McCain is more concerned about making sure limits on campaign contributions rise with inflation -- and he's been in office long enough to vote against raising the minimum wage 19 times.

That's a difference that should be easy to remember.

Fixed for you. So if John McCain is so well off when the economy is crumbling, he must be doing something right. God forbid we have someone in office that thrives in hard times, as opposed to PROMISING to slashing the government's main source of income. Why do dems always want tax cuts and minimum wage increase? Are we to believe that every American need to make more money, but the government needs to function on less and less all the time? How would a business run if you slashed it's income? How would a research company do if they had to deal with less and less funding all the time? Good plan, lets pacify the people and cripple the government, so Obama can be president.

Agreed. Perhaps, then, the people who insist that McCain should be elected because of his experience over 30 years ago will quit giving him a pass on what he has done and failed to do more recently. POW in Vietnam does NOT give you a free pass to the Presidency; both the conservative base and his campaign should quit reacting that it does every time he is criticized for a "senior moment" or bad judgement or failure to do the job in Washington the taxpayers are already paying him to do.

thank you. well said.

If the criteria for electability is competance and honesty there is nobody that fits the bill.

[srellim234]

There are probably quite a few people that fit the bill. They're all too smart to run and not crooked enough to win.

[themadscientist]

so we are screwed.
