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.

PA PA, POW!

The more you hit him, the slower he’ll get!

“House thanks to Tony Rezko and a sweetheart book deal for Barry and a very high paying job hospital for Michelle.”

Did they point out that Rezko got Barry’s brother a sweetheart deal on his shack in Africa?

[Miss Didi]

Rush just played a clip of Barry making fun of McCain not knowing about his houses...he sounds desperate. Rush said he has resorted to screaming. I wouldn’t be surprised if he started cackling next!

I’m a bit weary, yes. It’s obvious to everyone that the media is in the tank for Obambi and if they try to pull a 180 for Hillary and ignores the obvious, then they will go further down the tubes.

"...and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon..."

Burn.

Time to play “Obamanopoly”....

STARWISE:

Do you have a link to that photo? The text is hard to read in the post and I would very much like to have access to the information.

Thank you.

I hope hildebeast wins the nomination... because if you think hildebeast’s supporters are pi$$ed... wait until you see what happens if ‘toon rips the nod from the messiah... his core base will riot and burn cities... oh yes... there will be no coming together of dims!

I had to google arugula.

Try saying that three times fast. ;)

[Southack]

She’ll offer Obama her VP candidate slot or promise a SCOTUS nomination, and that will be enough to keep his flock in her field.

[I still care]

I like the ‘john mcCain is getting good at this part”.

I have noticed McCain does great under pressure. He’s going to need that ability as president.

And then there was the reader email with the subject line “How McCain should defuse the house issue:

It’s really quite simple. Sen. McCain should offer to house Barack’s little brother George, thus fulfilling [America’s greatest moral failing] embodied in Matthew, “What you do to the least of these,” etc.

And we have a winner, folks!

[I still care]

I look at that picture, and can’t figure out what he needs all that space for. Is that an attached barn? Horses? Or is that for all his vehicles?

[normy]

his core base will riot and burn cities.

To steal another Freepers line...'there will be hundreds of dollars in damage".

[janismcgee]

How great would that be? McCain has enough houses that he wouldn`t even know which house Obama`s half brother was in! McCain`s money will totally eviscerate Obambi. Can`t wait for McCain to hook up with Romney. They will be unbeatable. This will be our dream team! Mitt and John!! Money WILL trump popularity. Pray and contribute to Big John.

It looks to me like an immense version of the “add-on shacks” I see driving through East Texas and Louisiana. They slap a new piece of house on wherever it fits, then another one onto that one...

Thanks for the reminder. Just made a donation to McCain via the website.

Viking kitty sensor on alert! Do I sniff a newbie troll?

[boycott]

Also, ... Unlike Obama, Tony Rezko didn't help him buy any of those homes.
