I don't care about the candidate's houses

No, I don't care. Do. Not. Care. Even if the rest of the [cough] left blogosphere has decided it's Tier Two of Axelrod's campaign and is going crazy about it.
Now, if I wanted to attack McCain personally, I'd ask him how he feels that his national finance co-chair helped kill and barbecue a dog while drunk in college.
Because that's genuinely disgusting, evil even.
Enough of playing pattycake with houses and patriotism, and on and on and on.
I mean, it's not even that we can't focus on the issues, or even try to tie McCain to Bush. We can't even get a good -- and truthful -- character assassination going. You are what you repeatedly do....

That sounds like a Bush stunt
doesn't it? Once again, all you need to know John McCain= Bush third term.
Animal abuse...
... is rife in the Republican aristocracy; see the post for many examples, including Bush.
Of course, now that we are all post-partisan, that doesn't matter any more.

The post gives them; they're horrific. This is no laughing matter, since it goes directly to the willingness of the administration to use torture.
Of course, since we are all post-partisan now, that doesn't matter any more. Torture is so over!

Heres your ticket, pack your bag:
time for jumping overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far,
maybe you know where you are
Fightin fire with fire

It's uncanny.
The point seems to be...
... that McCain is not a man of the people.
Well, I suppose it worked with Kerry, so turnabout is fair play.
But whoever thought that McCain was a man of the people?

The point: deflect criticism that Obama is out of touch
And from the media hysteria over this nonsense (Cindy, not John McCain, owns the homes; money doesn't equal condescension) and the McCain camps' feverish response to it, Obama likely struck a good blow to McCain while blunting criticism that he's out of touch himself. McCain messed up by not going after the fact Rezko was a slumlord who exploited the most vulnerable people in Obama's own district and Obama had no problem being close friends with him, let alone using him to buy a million dollar house even after he was publicly exposed.
If Obama makes the campaign about the economy then he'll likely win since I don't see how McCain is good enough of a candidate on the economy or has enough of a "man of the people" image to strike back against Obama and the media.
Ugh. So we either get Bush III or Chicago Boys Redux? Same shit, different flies.
me neither
nobody but a ferret owning studio apartment dweller with a room mate in Wrigleyville cares.
It's not the rich who most voters hate, it's the condescending rich they reject.
just the way it is in middle earth er America..
