John McCain is soaring to new heights of hypocrisy on his wife's personal jet. He flies around the country bent on duping the public into believing he's "one of them," a regular guy who can empathize with Americans facing an overwhelming economic crush. What's more, he disparages those who oppose his ridiculous policy proposals as "elitist." But who's the real elitist?
The REAL McCain is a multimillionaire who owns ten luxurious homes. The REAL McCain backs President Bush's tax cuts for big corporations. The REAL McCain empathizes only with the interests of our nation's wealthy minority, not its money-strapped majority. But far too many are buying into McCain's deceit because the corporate press won't present the whole picture, so we created this video to educate the public about the REAL McCain.
Raise hell about McCain's economic duplicity!
"Most working families today do not have homes that have anywhere near ten rooms. John McCain has ten houses. Many working people in America have to work two and three jobs to provide for their families and pay their car loans. John McCain hops on a private jet. Is it any wonder why McCain champions a George Bush agenda of cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, helping oil companies turn record profits, and leaving working families to fend for themselves? McCain's velvet world leaves him utterly unprepared to make the tough choices we need to restore the middle class and ensure that everyone in America has quality, affordable health insurance."

You're kidding me?
A man of the people?
Which people, rich lobbyists? oil barons?
Oh to fall in love was my very first mistake
How was I to know I was far too much in love to see?
Oh jealousy look at me now
Jealousy you got me somehow
You gave me no warning
Took me by surprise
Jealousy you led me on
You couldn't lose you couldn't fail
You had suspicion on my trail
The Truth about John McCain
"Democrats see the glass as half empty, but Republicans see the glass as THEIRS."
McCain does not see the problems American working people have to deal with. McCain is a plain and simple neocon that signed on with PINAC and would continue where Bush leaves off. We hear nothing from McCain except slime about Obama (something he promised at the beginning he would not do.)
McCain is a war monger and does not know anything more about military strategy than Bush does.
McCain supports corporate fascism and is hardly seen without his military symbols in some form.
Personally I do not want a president that is so embarrassing as McCain would be, we have had enough of that with Bush, the only difference between the two is McCain can say three words without tripping on his tongue.
The problem with Russia will not be solved with the military and we need a leader that can use diplomatic means to help move the world onto a new course. All McCain does is preach war before he even grasps what the problem is.
His father was Admiral John McCain, Jr. who was the son of Admiral John McCain and he was on a fast track to being an Admiral but for his staggering incompetence. Being a pilot meant he did not have to lead men . . . and he had a penchant for losing his jets.
I could care less about him dumping the wife that stayed by his side while he was a prisoner for a more attractive (financially) trophy wife. I could care less that they have 10 mansions and have to take the Bentley instead of the Rolls on their Sunday drives.
What I DO care about is the fact that his lips may need to be surgically removed from George "Does this McCain make my butt look big"? Bush's posterior . . . if it's possible at all. I DO care that he has flipped sides on every issue that he formerly opposed Bush on and doesn't give a rat's ass about regular middle-class people. I do DO give a damn that he supports the use of torture and will very likely worsen our national reputation world-wide and continue policies that are shameful while seeking increased class warfare by eliminating the middle-class.

anybody?
remember John "I did not cheat on my wife" Edwards?
and his expensive haircut?
come on, we know they're well off.
but you can't come and see hurricane victims wearing a $3000 suit and $500 shoes
and expect people to think you're in touch.
how many times do we have to ask, "Do you know what a gallon of milk costs?"
I don't care if you hire someone to do that for you.
But when you know you are going to be in the spotlight,
PREPARE
I taught speak-up for the Jaycees back in the 90's
and I can tell you with certainty, if you don't prepare
YOU BETTER BE-WARE!
Jackass!

McCain doesn't support corporate fascism and is hardly seen without his military symbols in some form which is one of the great things I admire about him. Obama hasn't a clue about military, nor does he care.
Personally I do not want a president that is so embarrassing as Obama would be, we have had enough of that with Clinton, the only difference between the two is Obama can say three words without tripping on his tongue.
AND?
what?
