Most of us find that it is easier to remember a long list when it has been set to music. Someone has helpfully put this together for John McCain:

You're really treading in "North Columbus Middle School Students for Obama!!!" territory here, Megan.
I don't know the exact value of my retirement account. So the guy's rich, and doesn't have all of his investments memorized.
I had no idea the McCains had houses here in San Diego. They've got excellent taste!
Darren excuses: "So the guy's rich, and doesn't have all of his investments memorized."
He doesn't seem to have all of his memories memorized, either.
But he was a POW! Did you know he was a POW?
Seriously, he was a POW in Vietnam. He doesn't like to talk about it, but he was a POW.
He's an OWD--how can you expect him to remember how many houses his wife has? Remember, they aren't his and he really knows nothing about them (or her for that matter). In any event, he was a POW, so STFU!
So the guy's rich, and doesn't have all of his investments memorized.
This is totally true, and happens all the time. The other day, I had to remind a friend of mine that he owned a beach house. We actually argued about it... he just seemed to have forgotten about it, I guess because he usually spends all of his extra time at his mountain lodge retreat. Who hasn't had an awkward little conversation like that at some point?
The ad's cute, but a mistake. Now Obama gets grilled on Tony Resko and how he "forgot" to pay for the plot of land he "purchased".
Damn. My friend has a beachfront condo in Coronado and she voted for Romney in the primary.
For what its worth, this might play on the old meme but otherwise it's just dumb. Hell, it might even be dangerous: who wants to begrudge a guy who spent a lot of time in a tiny place an excess of houses.
themightypuck says: "Hell, it might even be dangerous: who wants to begrudge a guy who spent a lot of time in a tiny place an excess of houses."
Puck him! The miserable old bastard does NOT get a free pass on everything for the rest of his life just because he was a bad pilot.
He already used that Get Out Of Controversy Free card to excuse his days as a philandering weasel, anyway.
who cares? the hate for the rich is completely counter productive. i'm not voting for mccain, but this still makes me sick.
"just because he was a bad pilot"
I love it when leftists reveal their true natures. Nothing pushes the country away from the left as much as knowing what and how they think. I wonder what knowledge this genius has on how hard it is to fly a plane through enemy defenses.

Because McCain has spent a lot of time and money labeling Obama as an out of touch elitist and he's just a regular Joe 6-pack who is a real American. This was a very successful strategy for Bush in 2000 and 2004, so I say Obama is very correct in fighting this narrative so we don't have the election defined by "I'm voting for McCain, because he's a regular guy I can have a beer with".
I wonder what knowledge this genius has on how hard it is to fly a plane through enemy defenses.
Which is why McCain should never have been in that cockpit. If his Daddy and Granddaddy weren't Admirals he'd never gotten into Annapolis. Even if he got into Annapolis his terrible grades (near bottom of his class) would never had made the cut for pilot training without having his Daddy pull the strings for him.. The only reason he was a pilot and in the cockpit that day was because his Daddy made it happen.
This is the very definition of elitism, McCain has never had to do an honest days work in his life. He's always had a powerful family to ensure that he could do what he wanted, without the requisite hard work required.
The miserable old bastard does NOT get a free pass on everything for the rest of his life just because he was a bad pilot.
It is a bit funny that you think McCain needs "a pass" on being rich. There's nothing wrong with being rich. Reagan, Carter, Mondale, both Bushes, Dukakis, Clinton, Dole, Gore, Kerry, Nader, Obama, McCain... all rich. Like voters are really going to view a mansion-dwelling multimillionaire private-school alum as being an "average American" just because his rival has *multiple* mansions? Heh.
But I definitely recommend that Obama supporters keep dismissing McCain's Vietnam experiences as "bad piloting". Seriously, keep it up. If possible, accuse him of racism too.
I think Feist is an out-of-touch elitist. From Canada.
Okay, that ad is juvenile (though good choice of song to imagery), but who took things in that direction? McCain.
Hell, I want as many houses as McCain so more power to him. He won't lose my vote for that.
But he won't gain my vote for running a snickering, wisecracking "mock my opponent" campaign either.
Jordan,
The genius I'm referring to is MLJ, and I guess we can put you in the same category. McCain risked his life and you (a) insult him on a very specialized area about which I'd bet just about anything you know nothing, and (b) act as if his risking his life is some sort of priviledge we should all be jealous over.
I realize jealousy is the driving force behind leftism, but you shouldn't let it out to play quite so obviously. There are whole swaths of the population not jealous of the fact that he was shot at over Vietnam. In fact, I find it hilarious that Bush not going to Vietnam was because of his family connections, McCain going to Vietnam was due to his family connections, and apparently BOTH are things we're supposed to be outraged over, at least according to the local leftists. It's almost like you repeat the same accusations no matter the circumstance and hope no one notices.
Or, maybe you're just out to make leftists look bad. In which case, well done!
It was a bad answer, but really lame shots. Just should have said "my family is fortunate and we help members of our extended family with their housing (i.e. daughter's condo, san diego condo for an elderly aunt..) as well as having some real estate investments..."
Or "well I didn't buy a house with the help of an indicted slum lord who made millions off of government rent subsidies",
Obama is nothing more than a corrupt Chicago pol who relies on terrorists to keep his political career going. It was nice that Ayers managed to tell the New York Times that the Weather Underground "didn't do enough" on September 11, 2001. I bet he was embarrassed about getting shown up that day!
Obama - leftist, terrorist supported, corrupt, wrong for America. He also doesn't think that the only African American Supreme Court Justice is smart enough to be there - I remember when we had a term for people who snidely disparaged the intelligence of prominent African Americans: racist.
I'm tremendously bemused by the notion that the Republicans were never going to mention Rezko--NEVER!--until Obama leapt on this gaffe and forced the poor little things into it.
Many of us aspire to wealth. We don't aspire to be so wealthy we can't remember how many homes we own.
I'd be happy to take the ranch in Sedona. Not being able to remember my ranch in Sedona is not a life's goal.
Many of us aspire to wealth. We don't aspire to be so wealthy we can't remember how many homes we own.
I don't aspire to be an Olympic athlete, either. That doesn't mean I look down on the people who are.
Jordan,
Seriously? Why do leftists rip heroes for their acts? Is it to mask their own moral and physical cowardice? On the heels of 30 thousand Americans dead in the Korean War and the real threat of a rising Soviet Union, the "elite" John McCain went to the Naval Academy where he'd be sure to enter harm's way. Maybe it wasn't his daddy's or granddaddy's connections, but rather a three-generation tradition of selfless service to country. To say, "McCain has never had to do an honest days work in his life" compared to Obama is sheer lunacy. What has Obama EVER done? I can't believe he has the nerve to dwell on McCain's houses, wealth, etc., when it is the very act of running for President that has made Obama a multi-millionaire. Obama was paid something like 40 thousand dollars to write his last book. Now, post-presidential run, he's enjoyed a tremendous..er, "windfall" I'd guess you'd say. First thing he does? Buys an almost 2 million dollar house. I'd say the pot is calling the kettle black, except I'd be accused of racism.
Seriously? Why do leftists rip heroes for their acts?
Because the man has never had to work in his life. He earned a coveted pilot position and spot in Annapolis because his last name is McCain. Second, being an Admiral is hardly selfless service to the country. Unless you consider a huge salary along with people to do everything from serve you dinner, to take care of your garden "selfless service" He cruised through life and when the going got really tough (wife in a car accident and disfigured) he divorces her for an attractive rich heiress.
Deborah,
"I'm tremendously bemused by the notion that the
Republicans were never going to mention Rezko--NEVER!--until Obama leapt on this gaffe and forced the poor little things into it."
The notion may be bemusing, but it didn't come from any of the above posts. Rezko will now be more effective because anyone reporting the McCain issue has effectively agreed the issue is legitimate and will have to report Rezko.
"Many of us aspire to wealth. We don't aspire to be so wealthy we can't remember how many homes we own."
I don't seem to recall this being a problem when Kerry was running. Rich by marriage, check. Divorced, check. Veteran, check? What could the difference be?

What was his excuse the OTHER 4 times he crashed a plane?
Grow a sense of humor, chuckles. You'll live longer.
Jordan,
1. Most people consider fighting a war work.
2. This is the same coveted spot George Bush was supposed to have used his fathers connections to avoid. How coveted was it?
3. McCain was a Captain, not an Admiral, when he retired from the Navy.
4. Most people would think the going got tough for McCain at least by the time he was captured by the North Vietnamese and tortured for five years.
Keep repeating that "cruised through life" meme. That's effective.
Dan writes: "But I definitely recommend that Obama supporters keep dismissing McCain's Vietnam experiences as "bad piloting". Seriously, keep it up. If possible, accuse him of racism too."
Why not? He is a racist. And a pandering moron. I like how he named John Lewis as one of the 3 people he would look to for wisdom, when Lewis says McCain has NEVER reached out to him in any such way. But I guess that's all part of his supposed record of "fighting for civil rights."
Sheesh.
My Republican friends are right. We shouldn't discuss McCain's brief and undistinguished service to his country 40 years ago, which he exploits so shamelessly. Let's talk about his record:
adultery
corruption
falsehood about Christianity in front of a pastor
60 plus flipflops on his "sincerely held" beliefs
inability to count to 7 or 11 or how many house he has
damaged memory due to old age and excessive consumption of alcohol
his denunciation of the religious right as "agents" of intolerance, followed by a rush to ass-kiss anti-Semitic whackjobs like Hagee
the fact he votes with that bungling imbecile Bush over 90% of the time
By all means, let's talk about issues and records.
mj writes: "I don't seem to recall this being a problem when Kerry was running. Rich by marriage, check. Divorced, check. Veteran, check? What could the difference be?"
Repiglicans yammered ENDLESSLY about how Kerry owned a property overseas, married into his money, etc. They also disparaged his service constantly. Remember all the little Repiglicans wearing bandages with little purple hearts on them at their piggish little convention? I do.
Now you just sit there and take it, chuckles. You have it coming. Your bad pilot and his endless references to being a POW are looking for a 3rd Bush term, and no sane, rational adults want that.
MLJ
Kerry owns property overseas? Who knew? I recall people pointing out that then as now that when leftists claim rich = evil it never seems to apply to Democratic candidates or their families.
People who served with Kerry pointed out that his use of his military record was hypocritical because he spent his entire time in the military trying to get out, and then went in front of congress and called them the second coming of Genghis Khan.
Is there something wrong with you that you have to call people you disagree with names? Is the "pig" comment a reference to pink skin? Why is it I'm unsurpised you're a racist?
I don't want McCain to be President because I think he's crazy and has a constituency not unlike Putin's. His drinking and ditching his wife and getting shot down don't really bother me that much. To be fair, I don't really know the guy that well but that's my vibe. I could care less about his houses.
I should add that although I'm sure someone has floated the idea in the past, if I were working for the Dems I'd suggest they riff on McCain's hero and note that McCain speaks very loud, and if elected President, will be carrying a relatively tiny stick.
Why not? He is a racist. And a pandering moron.
Thanks, Moe.
See, I strongly dislike John McCain, but I want Obama to be President even less. So when you hurt Obama by launching ill-considered insults at McCain, that's just the best of all possible worlds. Obama is less likely to win, and people who actually like McCain get a little more disgruntled. Win/win for me.
mj writes: "I recall people pointing out that then as now that when leftists claim rich = evil it never seems to apply to Democratic candidates or their families."
The issue here isn't that it's evil to be rich, chuckles. It's that McCain is an out-of-touch elitist who is either too stupid or too oblivious to know how many houses he owns. Remember that the next time you hear a McCain spokesmoron yap about how Obama eats arugula.
"People who served with Kerry pointed out that his use of his military record was hypocritical because he spent his entire time in the military trying to get out, and then went in front of congress and called them the second coming of Genghis Khan."
McCain went on 60 Minutes and admitted that he was a war criminal, so why aren't you upset with him? Both men were honest about their service back then, but McCain no longer is. By the way, did you know he was a POW? Really, he was a POW.
"Is there something wrong with you that you have to call people you disagree with names? Is the "pig" comment a reference to pink skin?"
If you weren't an out of touch elitist you'd know that not all pigs are pink.
mj:
The point is that Bush avoided serving in Vietnam through family connections, while McCain served, but not well (possibly shouldn't have been a pilot, for example) through family connections.
Whether or not Kerry "spent his entire time in the military trying to get out" (Is your source for that Jerome Corsi's "Swift Boat" book? He's a real racist, by the way.) are you actually questioning Kerry's combat record? Most people in the service would love to get out of a combat zone (except for the murderous psycho/sociopaths) but nonetheless manage to serve well.
When McCain calls Obama an "elitist," leftists are bothered by the hypocrisy of a man who is a member of an elite by birth, divorce, & marriage to an heiress, as opposed to a man from a relatively humble background who used his intelligence, abilities, & so forth to earn his membership in the elite of accomplishment, not inheritance.
Bush & McCain are just two of the reasons "the left" is in favor of an inheritance tax, so that America doesn't develop even more of an (incompetent, spoiled, self-entitled) aristocracy of wealth than we are already burdened with.
In general, the word "pig" is in reference to (usually greedy) behavior. Pig skin comes in many colors; maybe you shouldn't type about things you don't know much about.
MoeLarryAndJesus:
Get your facts straight!! McCain wasn't a POW, nor was he tortured. George Bush said so!!
Malignant Bouffant writes: "In general, the word "pig" is in reference to (usually greedy) behavior. Pig skin comes in many colors; maybe you shouldn't type about things you don't know much about."
I do feel a little guilty about besmirching pigs - who are fine animals just trying to get along - by comparing them to creatures like Dumbya and Dickless and the mouthbreathers who support them, but I'm working with cultural signifiers here. And besides, "Repiglicans" is easy to say and people get it. "Retapewormlicans" would probably be more accurate but it would just be confusing.
The notion may be bemusing, but it didn't come from any of the above posts. Rezko will now be more effective because anyone reporting the McCain issue has effectively agreed the issue is legitimate and will have to report Rezko.
Except that it was already tried during the primaries and we saw how well that worked. Also, the Chicago Tribune seems to feel Obama isn't hiding anything. They aren't known as a lefty hot bed.
People who served with Kerry pointed out that his use of his military record was hypocritical because he spent his entire time in the military trying to get out, and then went in front of congress and called them the second coming of Genghis Khan.
Are you referring to the T. Boone Pickens funded Swift Boat Veterans? The same Pickens who welched on a bet? The same Swift Boat clowns whose claims were shown to be horse crap?
MJ:
What do you have to say about Dr. Phillip Butler? Did you read what he had to say? Is he a deranged leftist loon as well? Or are you the jealous one because truth has a liberal bias?
Malignant,
The truth is that you don't know what connections were used or if they were unfair. This is simply asserted as true by leftists, which means nothing. And therefore the point is that the same assertions are always made regardless of the circumstances.
I don't care about Kerry or his combat record. I try not to judge the actions of people in life or death circumstances, unlike the posters you are defending. These sad, small-minded people obviously have no understanding of the situation and their willingness to demean those risking their lives speaks poorly of them, their education, and anyone who defends them. Nor do I blame Kerry for wanting to leave, although I understand why his men felt as they did. Obviously some people, more traditionally, cared more and that is their right. Personally I found most instructive Kerry's apparent belief that voting for him because of his military service was acceptable while voting against him because of his military service was somehow out of bounds. And it's illuminating that the very people who supported Kerry in this claim are now engaging in the very behavior that was out of bounds a mere 4 years ago.
I'm sure everyone who disagrees with you is a racist. But if I recall correctly the leader of the group making the accusations was John O'Neill, not Corsi. Despite the lunatic ravings of the left many of their assertions proved true including the Christmas in Cambodia fantasy and the "I threw my medals over the wall" lie. These mattered more to me than his services because he used both lies to enhance his credibility on war-related subjects. Most of the other accusations were not proven untrue, they were just unverifiable or opinions. So I'm not sure what "charges" you think are inappropriate to reference, but feel free to outline them.
I also note that you personally believe Kerry acted acceptably in getting out of combat, but seem to think Bush is somehow sullied. Judge the R, excuse the D seems to the order of the left.
Regarding wealth: when the left stops trying to organize the country in order to punish those they don't like it will be a great step forward.
I don't want McCain to be President because the guy running on his foreign policy experience ought to know the difference between Sunni and Shia 7 years after 9/11 without needing Joe Lieberman to whisper it into his ear.
Joe,
Are you saying Kerry didn't compare us to Genghis Khan in front of Congress, or that it doesn't matter because Pickens didn't pay a bet? I'd like to know whether you're just completely ignorant or can't think logically.
"Except that it was already tried during the primaries and we saw how well that worked"
Since McCain's homes had not yet been brought into the public arena I'm not sure how you think this refutes my comment. I guess we'll go with can't think logically.
mj again: "Are you saying Kerry didn't compare us to Genghis Khan in front of Congress"
This again? Listen up, chuckles, and learn something. The US war on Vietnam was a goddamned atrocity. As McCain himself admitted, he was a WAR CRIMINAL who bombed INNOCENT WOMEN AND CHILDREN. What Kerry did when he testified in Congress was a much more valuable service to his country than his stint in Vietnam was.
We should have learned a lesson from the Vietnam experience that would have prevented a similar mistake in Iraq, but apparently it didn't stick.
MLJ,
It's too bad we can't get everyone in the country to listen to you for a while. Childish and ignorant is no way to go through life son.
3. McCain was a Captain, not an Admiral, when he retired from the Navy.
I know that, I was speaking of him growing up in the incredibly privileged home of a Navy Admiral. Second, Kerry was mercilessly attacked on his war record either defend him with the same rigor you're defending McCain with or your just a hypocrite. McCain's response to any criticism is "I'm a POW, you know I don't speak of it often, but I'm a POW. However, I would never use the fact that I was a POW and was tortured in Vietnam even become political. You know, because I don't like to play up that I'm a POW"
Someone get MLJ a megaphone and crank it up to 11. Get more for the other "progressives" here as well. It worked out so well for Ned Lamont, and I'm sure it will work for Obama, this time, really, for sure. Sheesh.
I've been vaguely aware of the "McCain doesn't know how many houses he has" story, but if this video is all it has to go on, then it's pretty weak. McCain didn't say he didn't know, he only declined to talk about it. Sure, it might mean he didn't know, but the press really had to torture this out of the evidence.
Ten Reasons to Vote for McCain
1. He was a POW. You probably don't know that.
2. When he says things that disagree with what his campaign says, he is to be ignored, per his campaign. So he's flexible!
3. It's a filthy world out there. He's running a filthy campaign. McCain --a man for our times!
4. Did you know he was a POW?
5. He's not an elitist like Obama. Elitists are parvenues. McCain's money is old money, there's a lot more of it, and anyway it's his wife's.
6. He worked hard for that money. He had to dump his first wife, and run around behind her back.
7. You know, it's important to have a POW as president.
8. Damn economics! Let's declare war on a few countries.
9. How will we pay for these wars? Damn economics!
10. Sure he graduated at the bottom of his class at the Academy --but it was a classy class! Did I mention that he was a POW?
Politics isn't bean bag so I don't have a problem with someone taking a shot at McCain for not knowing how many residential properties his wife owns. What gets me is the picture at the end showing Bush and McCain hugging.
If McCain is such a lousy candidate then why do the Democrats feel the need to try to constantly associate McCain with Bush instead of confining themselves to McCain's own faults? If McCain holds a position that they think is wrong then why not just point that out? Is it really relevant that Bush holds the same position? Are liberals intellectual pygmies who can't prove a point and must rely on guilt by association? Apparently the answer to that last question is "yes".
mj says: "Childish and ignorant is no way to go through life son."
Is that why you're a fundamentalist?

Purely stupid. McCain is just Bush on steroids - a more hyper and aggressive wingnut who will probably get us into 4 wars to Bush's 2. The association is there because McCain has spent the past several years making sure it was there.
This country is worse off in almost every way since 2000, and McCain approved of the Dumbya Shitstorm all along. He's the one that was chowing down cake with the Clown Prince as New Orleans was drowning. McCain's towel-boy acquiescence to Bush's disaster IS one of his faults and it would be silly to refrain from pointing that out.
And did I mention that his wife is a pill-popping homewrecking whore?
Megan,
I really miss the much more rational comments section at your old blog. Can it be reinstated somehow? While still letting the idiots waste their time here?
Thanks.
Jordan,
I've already said I was unaffected by the accusations against Kerry. It is you who needs to attack Kerry to be consistent. Why do those on the left have such a hard time seeing their own hypocrisy when it's the first charge they make against everyone else?
MLJ
I'm a libertarian. Our disagreements are because you are a dishonest, hate-filled sleaze. I've never seen anyone use a confession literally tortured out of a candidate against him before. Congratulations on reaching a new low. I thought most on the left argue against torture in part because it produces unreliable results? I guess to you torturing the real enemy, Americans you disagree with, is acceptable. It's too bad we can't get you a national talk show.
For my money there is nothing quite so funny as two multimillionaire senators who frequently hobnob with the worlds most powerful people, fly around on private jets accompanied by a phalanx of armed guards call each other elitists. We all need to reconcile ourselves to the fact that anyone who runs for president is part of the "elite" and move on.
Does anyone have any evidence that significant chunks of the electorate decide who to vote for based on justifications like this? My guess would be very, very few.
I would also add my two cents worth of directly answering the charge above and note that there is a world of difference between launching an attack and hitting back.
Does anyone dispute that McCain's people have been trying to hang the 'elitist' tag on Obama for some time now? If that's the case, why shouldn't he reply? Is it because, according to various concern trolls, it will 'hurt' him? I leave it to the reader to devise an explanation as to why initiating attacks on Obama doesn't hurt McCain in the eyes of the electorate for whom they think they so obviously speak.

I didn't use his confession against him, chuckles. I have no idea what you're talking about, and neither do you. And by the way, he wasn't tortured - just ask the Bushpigs that he supports so strongly. He was subjected to "enhanced interrogation." The sad thing is that after making a show of being against such "techniques" he refused to vote for a law explicitly banning them.
MLJ
"I didn't use his confession against him"
Really? Show me McCain's quote where you claim he admitted to being a war criminal.
mj says: "Show me McCain's quote where you claim he admitted to being a war criminal."
" WALLACE: What did you do wrong in prison?
Sen. McCAIN: I wrote a confession. I was guilty of war crimes against the Vietnamese people. I intentionally bombed women and children.
WALLACE: And you did it because you were being tortured...
Sen. McCAIN: I...
WALLACE: ...and you'd reached the end of the line.
Sen. McCAIN: Yes. But I should have gone further. I should have--I--I never believed that I would--that I would break, and I did."
He's right - he DID bomb innocent women and children. But he wasn't tortured by his own standards, because everything that was done to him has been done to detainees under the Bush administration - and John McCain not only refused to vote to ban such practices, he supports using confessions obtained by them against detainees.
Why should he be allowed to retract his confession under these circumstances, exactly? Let him call for the invalidation of all such confessions and I'll cut him some slack. But not until then.
Notice that in the above post, I showed you where McCain admitted being a war criminal.
I certainly didn't change the subject to another lie, that McCain bombed civilians.
In addition, Bushpigs are Nazis.
Thank you.
A fake Moe writes: "I certainly didn't change the subject to another lie, that McCain bombed civilians."
It's not a lie. McCain was shot down during a bombing raid of Hanoi, part of the "bomb them back to the Stone Age" strategy that was aimed indiscriminately at civilian targets of a country that was no threat to the US. He flew over twenty such missions and has the blood of an untold number of civilians on his hands.
All for nothing.
This is to certify that I have known MoeLarryAndJesus for many years. He likes watching war movies, so he knows a lot about what it is like to be a pilot. Trust me. He does not have a job, because all jobs are taken by those elitists who have never had an earnest hard day of work in their lives. If they only gave him a job, he would prove to everybody that he was so much better. Trust me. You ought to. He likes cookies, and he believes that the best way to get more cookies is to tax the rich, because all rich people are Nazies. We all know that. I also agree with him that insulting other people is the best way to get your own point across. As a corollary to that rule, saying that the other guy "started it first" is a very effective way of proving your own worth. And, yes, I have almost forgotten, trying to be funny is just as good as being funny. Any thinking person would give you a full credit for trying. I know I am not being funny, but I don't know how to try. Agree with me anyway. Just trust me. Honestly... So, all of you, who don't like his position, are nothing but redneck stupid elitist rich Nazi stupid whore pigs.
A sphincter says what: "I have known MoeLarryAndJesus for many years. He likes watching war movies, so he knows a lot about what it is like to be a pilot. Trust me.

No, George Soros isn't a Nazi, Bill Gates isn't a Nazi, Warren Buffett isn't a Nazi. Richard Mellon Scaife? Might as well be a Nazi. Dick Cheney? Firmly ensconced in the Nazi Hall Of Fame.
I do know that the plural of Nazi is Nazis, not Nazies, Mr. Quayle.
"So, all of you, who don't like his position, are nothing but redneck stupid elitist rich Nazi stupid whore pigs."
Let's leave your daddy out of this. Your syntax is terrible. Look into some adult literacy programs. You'll be glad you did.

Yes, but the reason liberals always lose elections on this argument is that they confuse "elite" and "elitist." When McCain calls Obama an elitist, or when Bush calls Kerry one, or whatever, he's not saying "Obama's rich and successful," so the rebuttal, "Oh yeah? Well, McCain's rich and successful too!" doesn't really have any bite. He's saying, "Obama looks down on ordinary Americans." (Whether true or not, that's the attack.) That's where the whole "have a beer" thing comes from.
Wow, I've touched MoeLarryAndJesus enough to warrant his response. I am delighted to see that he found nothing else to challenge in my post but the spelling of the word Nazi in plural.
