Unions Blast McCain as “the Real Elitist

In the Evangelical debate McBush said the rich americans are the ones that have 5 million dollars or more… While Barack said $250,000. No doubt McCain is the real Elitist!
Obama/Biden 08′ 12′

If you say it enough, some dope will believe it.
Republican Campaign Manual, . . . . . .

Yeah – he has the middle clasa americans in mind – most of us don’t own 6 homes, a jet, or 520 shoes. We shop at Walmart, maybe Belks or McRae’s, but we don’t have those luxaries at our disposal.

Desperation time for Obama. McCain “cheated” because he sticks to his convictions and he can answer questions unlike obama who changes postions so many times he forgets what his current position is.

Gee – how much $$$ did the Obama’s make during 07′= I believe it was in the millions.
GLASS HOUSES.

nothing like the clintons and their 150 million and the mccains with their 700+ million calling the guy with 2 million who payed his own way through school, and wrote two books, and donated most of the proceeds from the books to charity
yup
what an elitist obama is
hes so out of touch with middle class america… unlike the million upon million upon millionaires like the clintons and mccains

I don’t think McCain heard Obama’s answers. If he had, he would have entered the stage laughing his ### off!

East is east & west is west….
No one on these sites is going to change anyone else’s mind about the candidates. It’s an exercise in futility. As for me, I never voted republican in my life (would have, though, for Colin Powell) and now I certainly will not. They’ve turned really slimy and are NOT the party of the people. Besides which, I totally, unequivocably believe in separation of church and state and that seems to be a part of the constitution the republicans like to ignore.

McCain said, “I want everybody to get rich” but also said he wants to “inspire a generation of Americans to serve a cause greater than their self interest.”
So which is it? Aspire to be as rich as him or aspire to be a war hero like him?

cincyr, you can do both. In fact, you can do both at the same time. But if you have to choose, go for service in your 20s, securing your financial future from your 30s-50s, and service in your 60s and beyond as long as you’re able.
How hard was that?

“nothing like the clintons and their 150 million …”

And even with all the money they’ve since earned, they are STILL not elitists.
On the other had, Obama IS!
Maybe elitism is some sort of inherent trait which either grows or dwindles as one gets older…….
( I know one kid who’s 9 and has all the signs….)

Obama knows all about elitists…they are the ones that attended his fund raisers in S.F. sunday night and ponied up about 8 million….the group that agrees with Obama about middle Americans clinging to guns and religion during tough financial times. Arugula eating arrogant Obama….go back to Hawaii.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN!

What does having money have to do with being an elitist? How many of you would turn down $5M / year? How many of you would like to have those houses that John McCain has? If you had them, would you consider yourself an elitist? I wouldn’t. It makes no sense. Yes, many elitists do have a lot of money, but don’t confuse correlation with causation. Further, in this specific case, we’re talking about a man who spent years being tortured as a POW – Admiral’s son or not, millionaire wife or not, this man has made sacrifices that you and I can only have nightmares about. I would think twice before assigning the elitist label. You’re playing into the partisan nonsense that’s taking over this country.
What you should really be concerned about are the actual elitists, the people who believe that because they have money and social standing, went to a fancy school, or just have a bunch of people kissing their *sses, they are somehow intrinsically better than you and can therefore tell you what to do or can take your earnings and give them to others in a manner that they (being omniscient) see fit. Government is not your friend, it is an inherently evil (if necessary to a degree) construction, and the smaller the better.
As for this video, it’s laughable that it could be used as an indictment against Mr. McCain. Does nobody ask why this woman thought it appropriate to take out a mortgage with payments higher than her take home pay every month? I assume it was an ARM, but in that case, the best thing we can do is require clear, straightforward disclosure of terms on mortgages and similar contracts, and allow people to face the consequences of their decisions. Surely it does not require the dozens of pages of small print I signed (after reading them thoroughly) when I bought my first home this past spring. Regardless, this woman likely showed terrible judgment and now expects people who showed sound judgment to simply bail her out, which is ridiculous. I would have liked a nicer home, but I couldn’t responsibly afford it. Credit rating went down because you went into foreclosure? As it should. Why should Citi or BoA be forced to lend to this woman when they will likely lose their money? Who should have the authority to tell them they need to do that? Nobody – it’s their money, not ours.
America truly has become a nation of whining children – until we start seeing evidence of more responsible adults both in and out of politics, we are really going to be headed down the wrong path.

Good video. It shows how uncaring McCain is about those who are being foreclosed on. Many of them are victims of the deregulation of the lending industry as government laws that protected the consumer from predatory lending were weakened or eliminated by the Bush administration. (Deregulation equals higher prices for the consumer and higher profits for the industry.) When McCain says some are doing the right thing, by getting a second job to pay their mortgages, (instead of saying the unfair interest rates in these loans are unreasonable and should be changed,) he sounds like Mr. Potter from ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’ McCain is too rich and identifies solely with the rich to work for ordinary Americans’ concerns. Even with the military, he voted against improving the G.I. bill for our returning vets. He is only a friend to the wealthy.
