RNC Offers Kerryopoly Game

RNC 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.

I just think this is the perfect song for our boy...

Bohemian Rhapsody

Words and music by Freddie Mercury

Is this the real life
Is this just fantasy
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy,I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesn't really matter to me,
To me
 
Mama,just killed a man,
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)
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
 
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me
Galileo,Galileo,
Galileo Galileo
Galileo figaro-Magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go
Bismillah! No-,we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me
 
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby-Can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here
 
Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,
 
Any way the wind blows....

Kerry favors raising gasoline taxes by 50 cents.
What is his position on raising the tax on fuel used by
his wife's Gulfstream 5? (current federal tax is 22 cents)

They forgot a square where you "win" and pay off your debt if you marry a rich widow.

Can you land on the rich widow a couple of times and find your fortune?

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