Tuesday, June 1, 2004 10:16 p.m. EDTRNC Offers Kerryopoly Game
The Republican National Committee said today it is helping John Kerry introduce himself to voters by playing Kerryopoly, the new web game that's sweeping the nation. More than 460,000 games of Kerryopoly have already been played.
With a roll of the electronic dice, players can land on properties like Nantucket, worth $9.18 million, Beacon Hill, worth $6.9 million or Idaho, worth $4.9 million. Players may also land on squares for John Kerry's thousand-dollar haircut, or his $5,000 bicycle.
Each player starts the game with $40,000 in Kerryopoly money, the average national household income. The goal is to make it around the board with as little debt as possible, meaning players must try to avoid landing on pricey properties like Kerry's Georgetown home, worth $4.7 million, or the space for the Scaramouche, Kerry's $700,000 yacht.
"Most Americans can't afford yachts, private planes, thousand dollar haircuts or homes in Nantucket. But they can when they play Kerryopoly. With a roll of the dice, Americans can find out how much John Kerry's proposals to increase the gas tax would cost them, or how much they would have to pay to have a John Kerry haircut," said RNC Communications Director Jim Dyke.
"After a few trips around the board, most players will be millions of dollars in debt, proving that John Kerry's lifestyle is out of reach and out of sync with most Americans," Dyke said.

The sad thing is that the liberal media and their friends at the DNC can fool enough Americans into thinking that Kerry "is a man of the people". Algore was about as removed from real life as it gets; he grew up rich in a hotel in DC, went to the finest schools, and only held a real job as a journalist and in the military. He held millions in oil stocks and private companies. Yet the liberal cabal was able to get him partially successful running as a populist.

The problem with Al Gore is that he looks like he's missing a batch of cigars and a feathered head-dress.

Cool! Class envy from the unusual suspects. Showing that Kerry is a tax and spend, limousine liberal makes perfect sense. However, whining about his vacation homes is about as conservative as demanding a welfare check.

- Put a gun against his head,
- Pulled my trigger,now he's dead,
- Mama,life had just begun,
- But now I've gone and thrown it all away
- Mama ooo,
- Didn't mean to make you cry
- If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
- Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters
-
- Too late,my time has come,
- Sends shivers down my spine
- Body's aching all the time,
- Goodbye everybody-I've got to go
- Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
- Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)

Whining about his vacation homes ... or exposing his hypocrisy? Kerry would have us believe that he is a "commoner" while Bush is an elitist.
