QUESTION: Are you guys aware of how many houses you own?
VOTER 1: We are aware.
VOTER 2: I only own one house, and that’s more than enough with the foreclosures and whatnot.
VOTER 1: We own zero.
QUESTION: House many houses do you own?
VOTER 3: Zero
QUESTION: Do you know of any people who have forgotten how many houses they own?

VOTER 4: Two
QUESTION: Two. Did you ever forget that?
VOTER 4: No

VOTER 4: No.
QUESTION: OK. Could you understand someone forgetting?
VOTER 4: No.
QUESTION: We’re just wondering if its, you know, a common problem to forget how many houses you own?
VOTER 3: I assume no. That is not common.
QUESTION: Have you ever forgotten how many houses you own?
VOTER 2: No, never.
VOTER 1: I can see with seven how you could, you know, forget. It’s hard to keep track of.
VOTER 5: Yeah, exactly. Somebody takes care of that for you.
VOTER 2: Well, you could be that wealthy where you don’t know what you have, in spite of the fact that other people are so poor they don’t have anything.

Mitchfrnks, I don’t …
Mitchfrnks, I don’t know how someone can “loose” an election, and I don’t think you know what a “canon” is. Look those words up. Do you know what a dictionary is? Once you learn how to write english, then you can post something that will hopefully come off somewhat intelligent. Until then, stop making uneducated, meaningless comments. I can’t believe we have people who vote in this country when they can’t even recognize the difference between Lose and Loose or Cannon and Canon.

Who’s more out of …
Who’s more out of touch with America?
One guy who can’t remember how many houses he has.
Or, a collage educated idiot who thinks he has been to 57 states with one left to campaign in…..
I sure hope those extra 10 states come out for him come November. He’ll need every one of them if he wants to win!

John McCain is an OUT OF TOUCH ELITIST!
We already have a John McCain clone in the WH its called George W Bush.

Obama will loose ( …
Obama will loose (thankfully to McCain) and thats the end of this topic. The last thing we need is an inexperienced loose canon communist running this this country.. he hates this country and hangs out with felons and racists like Jeremiah Wright who also hates America.. NO BAMA — McCain all the way

Talk show host Rush …
Talk show host Rush Limbaugh, who for weeks has promoted Hillary Clinton to keep the Democratic race going, changed course today and pushed Barack Obama.
Obama would be the weakest nominee, declared Limbaugh, who told listeners that Obama “has shown he cannot get the votes Democrats need to win — blue-collar, working class people. He can get effete snobs, he can get wealthy academics, he can get the young, and he can get the black vote, but Democrats do not win with that.”
August 29th, 2008 at 9:10 am
If you read both …
If you read both candidates’ Web sites front to back, you can’t honestly tell me Obama has no substance. He has hundreds of pages of policy proposals for all to read, including his positions on taxes you choose to lie about.
McCain’s “substance” available to the public is bare-boned. Then again, we all know its just more of President Bush’s failed policies.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:10 am
A lot of them are. …
A lot of them are. But not most as you claim. They will be offset easily by the conservatives voting for Libertarian Bob Barr.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:10 am
You’re very …
You’re very convincing. But you simply are wrong about Obama’s tax plans. Unless your very wealthy, Obama will lower your taxes. But keep spreading the lies if that’s how you choose to live.
And Obama’s half-brother chooses to live in Kenya on his own accord.

I’d love to explain …
I’d love to explain. Amd I won’t engage in third grade name calling either!!
When you give tax cuts to low and middle class folks they have more discretionary spending, or they can afford to keep themselves healthy; thereby making themselves more productive. Right now Obama gives more tax breaks to the lower classes (95% of Americans) than McCain. By raising taxes on the rich to 1990s levels, the government is still able to function and the rich can still live very comfortably.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:10 am
Obama will never …
Obama will never win the general. He has to have Hillarys supporters to win and based on what I have seen & heard we don’t like him and will never vote for him. We aren’t college kids or idiots we actually think and want more than rhetoric! Talk is cheap and based on what I have heard from him and his supporters cheap is the right word to use! There is no substance. Obama can scream at Hillary supporters till they are blue in the face but we will have the last laugh. It will be McCain 2008

rjhunt14 -> if you …
rjhunt14 -> if you look at the polls there are A lot of Hillary supporters who will either not vote at all or vote for McCain… If you think Obama will get most of Hillary’s votes you are wrong.. Obama has already shown what little respect he has for the Clintons. He is an unexperienced elist Celeberity with only he’s own interests at hand..
McCain will not give concessions to our enemies and Hillary would have done the same.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:10 am
These are why Obama …
These are why Obama will NOT get elected in NOV
1. He is an elist patronizing celebrity ‘attorney’ who will tax everyone to death while he does back hand deals to make himself rich
2. He cannot be trusted with our national security and will give concessions to our enemies and will not act in Americas interests
3. He does not even care about his own family so he sure as won’t care about you
4. Most Hillary supporters have switched to McCain esp the Hispanic vote who would have voted DEM

It’s McShame’s …
It’s McShame’s wifey and a trust she controls that own basically all of ‘em… his interest is the majority interest in one or two of those. It was a trick question; but then again, in economics and foreign policy, they’re ALL trick questions.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:10 am
I don’t think the …
I don’t think the word “selfless” means what you think it means. The word you were looking for was “idiotic” since not only would hundreds of thousands of Americans pick lettuce for 50 bucks an hour, but thanks to our “fundamentally strong economy” even more would be willing to shovel for it.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:10 am
Obama is the …
Obama is the elitist, nothing to do with money, it has every thing to do with attitude.
Obama is arrogant, McCain isn’t.
Rezko is a criminal that gave Obama a deal, Obama said he was boneheaded for taking it. Calling him a liar?
McCain didn’t get any money from Charles Keating, The scandal is why McCain/Feingold worked for over a decade on finance reform… bipartisan work that McCain actually does and Obama makes speeches about.
Now you have some facts. Educating yourself would be useful.

Two years ago …
Two years ago before midterm elections barrel of oil was at 75 dollars. Nancy Pelosi and her left wing slime campaigned on lowering the price of energy and having a plan for alternative energy America needs in her 3′rd century and beyond. By election time oil was down to $60 a barrel.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:10 am
Since then, thanks …
Since then, thanks to Pelosi and the left wing slime oil this year hit $140+ a barrel. Great plan Nancy and the unemployed Americans thanks you. How the does she sleep at night under those silk sheets of hers she bought with her $217,000.00 a year salary?
August 29th, 2008 at 9:10 am
rjhunt14, are you …
rjhunt14, are you on same drugs as your self-proclaimed messiah Husain Obama is??? How is hitting the so-called 1% rich Americans with more taxes will solve the economic crises Pelosi and her left wing slime brought us 2 years ago? Please explain?
August 29th, 2008 at 9:10 am
If all hillary …
If all hillary supporters are racist liars like mitchfrnks, which I know they are not, then Obama truly would be in trouble. Obama gave Hillary plenty of respect; take her word for it. She says so; so I believe her. 95% of her supporters will behind Barrack.

winthiswar — You …
winthiswar — You are correct; there is nothing wrong with being wealthy. There is something wrong with a tax policy that favors the richest 1% in a time of economic crisis, however. Also, John McCain didn’t do anything for his wealth - he cheated on his first wife and then married mega-millionaire Cindy McCain. And finally, Obama purchased his home within the boundaries of the law; it was the best offer on the house. The facts are well documented; stop lying and stop buying the lies.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:10 am
Winthiswar…. It …
Winthiswar…. It will be when Husain Obama and his slimy left wingers “take America back”. Deal with it!
August 29th, 2008 at 9:10 am
There is no crime …
There is no crime in becoming wealthy in America, McCain worked hard for his, while Obama cut deals with thugs to buy his.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:10 am
Alot of Hillary …
Alot of Hillary supporters think Obama is an elitist patronizing ahole… We’ll see who’s bitter when McCain wins in November by a landslide
