    interesting theory.

    too bad it isn't working out for him that way. everyone else remembers how many houses they own. :D

    This guy's ridiculous. Doesn't know how many houses he owns, doesn't know the difference between Sunni and Shia, doesn't know that Iraq and Pakistan don't share a border, where does all his supposed "experience" come in? A voter in New Mexico suggests reinstating the draft and the first thing McCain says is "I don't disagree with anything you just said." What is going on? I don't see how anyone is voting or considering voting for him. It's amazing.

    Obama got his sweetheart mortgage with the help on a convicted felon, and he also used to own many properties in Chicago that he was going to Section 8 out and be a slumlord. He failed at that though.

    John Kerry owned multiple houes as well. Somehow I doubt many here were complaining about that four years ago.

    i would hate the people that tortured me too. does that mean that i hate all people? i don't think so. also i love how you say "allegedly tortured him" like maybe all the reports are somewhat false. sorry i am also waiting for the links on your past post. take your time. :)

    I would say he was "allegedly tortured", at least by McCain & Bush's definition. Much of what was done to McCain is not in the limits of "torture", at least according to those two. http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/08/was-mccain-tort.html

    Are you kidding me? That is one of the lamest excuses I have ever heard to justify something. That's ridiculous.

    Anyway, assuming he did say that just to "fit in", that's pathetic and desperate. If you have to try to "fit in" with the American people, you probably shouldn't run for president. That would just go to show how desperate he has become to win this thing - more desperate than trying to portray Obama as Paris Hilton. In other words, a new all time low (a bar he set himself).

    McCain is out of touch with reality. Telling Americans they wouldn't and couldn't work in a labor field for a whole season for $50/hour, to not remembering how many houses you own, to saying the whole ailing economy is just "psychological". The thought of this man determining the future economic policies of this country are beyond scary. The notion that people can actually vote for a man who plans to continue the same policies that have absolutely ruined this country (say what you want, but I call our enormous national debt, a $482 billion deficit, $4/gallon gasoline, a mortgage crisis, a student loan crisis, and rising health care a pretty big problem) is beyond my comprehension. When you vote with Bush 95% of the time of the last couple years, I have little to no respect for you. When you switch positions on countless issues just to "fit in", I don't think you deserve to run this country. McCain is desperate, pathetic, and Unfit for Command.

    What are you talking about? How come all McCain supporters do is defend McCain's faults with "Well Kerry did this, or Gore did that, or Clinton did this...". Personally, how many houses a candidate owns doesn't do much for me - I think McCain & Kerry are both "out of touch" with working-class America, but I can deal with that. I said that about Kerry in 2004, and I'll still say it. It's not McCain owning 7 houses that bothers me, it's the fact that he didn't know. Now, you can take it in two ways, both of which are pathetic and make me think McCain is qualified to be president. He's either losing it because of old age, or is an elitist. I think it's both - and both make me think he isn't ready to lead this country.

    I'm not a McCain supporter. I'm just calling out the double standards here.

    Obama also owned multiple properties, even if he had no intent on living in them.

    and McCain tries to paint Obama as an elitist? You know, the guy that just paid off his student loans last year...

    Whats wrong with being elitist? Isn't that the best, what you want as president?

    of course you know this is not the issue...the issue is, mccain had no clue how many houses he owned, not that he owned multiple houses...

    no double standard here, just some fella who has no clue about is own personal finances and economic standing...

    true. but if it took someone until this story to realize McCain has no clue about economics, then they're clearly politically inept.

    (not that I'm accusing any of you of that)

    I understand your point, and agree for the most part...

    Sadly, many simply see the 30 second attack ads and that's all they know...

    This is such a non-issue, on both sides. McCain is fucking loaded. Obama is fucking loaded.

    You know how I know? They can afford to run for president.

    This whole line of political discourse is so distasteful. I'm sick of both candidates going down this road.

    Obama: "See? McCain doesn't know how many houses he owns! He's rich!"

    McCain: "Yeah? Well, Obama just made millions of his books. And he just took a vacation to a private Hawaiian island. And he bought a multi-million mansion with the help of a convicted felon!"

    It's so unbecoming of both candidates. It's like a giant "I'm poorer than you" dick-measuring contest ... and it doesn't matter one fucking bit in the grand scheme of things.

    So you think McCain is just forgetful?

    Look, one of two things happened here:

    1) McCain didn't want to admit how many houses he owned, because he wants to paint himself as a populist.

    or 2) He's got a bunch of properties, including various condominiums ... he doesn't know what he owns and what he just rents. He didn't want to give a false answer, so he said his staff would look into it and come back with an exact answer.

    It's not like he said, "Duhhhhh! I don't know!"

    As I mentioned before, I think this is a total non-issue ... the left's equivalent of the Obama flag-pin.
