Things Are Getting Rough Out There (McCain is getting good at this!)

Things Are Getting Rough Out There

From McCain spokesman Brian Rogers, in response to the Obama campaign's new offensive on John McCain's houses:

Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses? Does a guy who worries about the price of arugula and thinks regular people “cling” to guns and religion in the face of economic hardship really want to have a debate about who’s in touch with regular Americans?

The reality is that Barack Obama’s plans to raise taxes and opposition to producing more energy here at home as gas prices skyrocket show he’s completely out of touch with the concerns of average Americans.

On the subject of houses, did McCain mention the hut Obama’s brother George lives in?

It’s funny, but the problem now is that Obama may be too weakened to fend off Hillary at the Dems’ convention.

I think I’d just mention that if houses were really an issue, why didn’t they count Heinz/Kerry’s?

McCain should offer Obama’s brother to live in one of his houses.... counter attack to the man who wanted to change political campaigns!!!

On the subject of houses, they may be homes that Cindy McCain bought.

In Obama’s mind, can’t a WOMAN be financially successful?

Dems seem to be crazy that Obama with his millions is unable to attract voters.

Dems usually buy voters. Reps convince them.

McCain needs to hit back on Obama with the shady deal he had with Rezko regarding his house. I bet that will shut Obama up real quick!!!

I’ve got my issues with McCain, but it is refreshing to see our side go on the offensive once in a while instead of cowering behind a tree everytime liberals attack us.

Kudos to McCain’s team.

Nicely done! It's a shame houses weren't an issue when [ahem] Al Gore and John Edwards were running for POTUS as one of "us".

Not to mention John Edwards's 35,000 square foot house, built during the last election campaign:

What's the carbon footprint on all those trees you cut down, John?
