Thread: McCain's Mansions: The Houses That Greed Built

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 Houses That Greed Built

Are there any non-rich politicians?

Mrs. McCain's family earned their money. Why don't you talk about the
Clinton's who are worth over a hundred million but have never been
anything but politicians -- how does that happen?

The Houses That Greed Built

How is it greed to buy homes you can afford? The womwn in the video bought a home she could not afford. That is not McCains fault.

Every single one of those 'mansions' but one was a condo. I hardly call that extravagant living. I call that living in an overpriced area. His condo in Arlington is only priced $130,000 more than mine and that's because it's in Rosslyn next to the Bridge.

And you could tell that women made bad choices just by how high her % got up to.

The argument that McCain is evil because of his seven homes or whatever is ridiculous. Successful people often have multiple homes and sometimes it just makes sense, especially if they travel to a certain location a great deal.

The only time it starts to get "deep" is when he claims on the stump that while Obama is back in Hollywood that he himself prefers to spend his time with the real people, the American worker. Of course he only prefers to spend his time with the American worker during an election year, but lets not go into that.

There is no sin in a politician having money or making money, unless they got it from illegal methods including using their office improperly. People are free to own as many homes as they want, real estate is usually a sound investment.
