    If that is the only thing you have against John McCain, I'd vote for him. But, I'm not going to.

    What about Obama? Maybe we should delve into his investments.

    I don't fault either one of them for having done well in life. My Lord!!!! they actually have more money than I do!! I think they should cough it up and give it to me so that I never have to worry about cash again.

    This attack is ridiculous!

    McCain's money comes from his wife and probably bribes from special interests. That might mean "prospered" to you but the rest of America doesn't think of it in the highest terms.

    The really sad part of this sorry episode is McCain's confusion. He's so confused he can't even remember how many homes he has. Whether one or more, most of America knows how many homes they have. Not McCain. He's living in his own confused little dreamland.

    Utter nonsense.

    Obama didn't have any "land dealings with Rezko." He bought one-sixth of a vacant lot from Rezko's wife for one-sixth of what she paid for it. What's the problem with that?

    And the McCain campaign tries to level charges of 'elitism' at Obama, who owns one home, and paid off his student loans with the proceeds from the sales of his first book. And golly, he grew up on Chicago's South Side while he and his mother lived on food-stamps. Somehow I just don't think McCain or his advisers appreciate the irony of their bullshit.

    If Obama wants to open up this cap of worms, he is going to regret it. Obama's past land dealings with Rezko puts to shame anything McCain has done, especially if is only crime is he and his wife have lots of investments in real estate and doesn't know the exact number.

    Naturally gabby and other Obamaphiles will completely ignore Obama's corrupt dealings with Rezko. Its much more important to make the Republican look stupid or too rich than to deal with the real ethical problems that faces the Democrat.
    And gosh, there was John McCain's involvement with John Keating...Oh, and the McCain's failed to pay the property taxes on a San Diego property. Haven't they heard of escrow accounts?

    As for Tony Rezko, there was no mention of Obama at Rezko's trial. It's just another case of the RWN GOP base throwing stuff at the wall to see if it sticks.

    You mean the media failing to do its job and actually investigate.

    You investigate McCain's confusion?

    I agree. The media should try to determine the full extent of McCain's mental deficiencies.

    Prove that and you can bring him down.

    You have no proof. Although, as I have said hundreds of times, to get into the position of being a candidate for President, one has sold his soul (to special interests) so many times there is nothing left to sell.

    I'm sure our definition of "bribes" and Obama's or McCain's would be completely different.

    As for his money coming from his wife? So what? Might I mention John Kerry?

    I am not bothered that McCain does not know how many homes he owns

    I am bothered by a Presidential candidate who does not know how many states are in the United States

    BTW, does Obama own the hut his brother lives in?

    Where did you get this misinformation? He spent his early childhood in Indonesia and finished growing up in Hawaii with his well to do grandparents. He didn't get to Chicago until he decided to start his political career.

    and did John and Cindy McCain but any of their homes, do a walkthru of the home with, and get campaign donations, from a convicted felon like Mr and Mrs Obama did?

    So that's not "prospering" in a socially acceptable sense. To most Americans, prospering means financial success as a result of serving the community. All McCain ever has done is serve his rich wife.

    And John Kerry?

    Let me guess you supported John Kerry blindly despite his arrival among the prosperous coming at the hands of marriage.

    Since when has it not been socially acceptable to marry into money? I don't support John McCain, but this attack is crap.
