Garland, you must have missed the update--all the homes are owned by Mrs Cindy McCain in her own name. John McCain owns none. He signed a pre-nup.

You wouldn't have known, zoos, because you don't listen to Rush Limbaugh. It's one of his favorite terms when throwing flames at the "enemy."

I've heard many references to drinking the Obama Kool-Aid, and I've never thought this had anything to do with it.
| Me neither. I've always heard it in reference to his supporters being Kool-Aid drinkers.

That changes everything. McCain will then clearly get the homeless vote!

Just correcting the record. A big tempest in the teapot.

This guy is a politician from Georgia. If he doesn't know the connotations of "uppity" in the South, he's not knowledgeable enough to be in the Congress.

barrons, that is what I've been hearing as well, both from men and women. I am on several email lists and all have been favorable to Palin, with some saying the positions should be flip flopped. Yikes!!
While I like her and think she's helping the ticket, I don't think she's ready for the presidency (yet  ).
It will be interesting to watch how she performs in the debates and while being grilled on the Sunday morning shows. I wonder if Chris Matthews will get that tingle up his leg for her, or does he only swing for Obama?

Also Palin has not been spirited back to Alaska--she is out energizing the campaign that sorely needed a lift.
From the MJS
Rally update: Palin drawing interest
Cedarburg - The political phenomenon that is Sarah Palin drew many of the thousands of people who came here today for the John McCain-Sarah Palin rally.
Kristin Taubel, 42, of Watertown, a self-described conservative Catholic who home schools her children, said she made the trip so that her daughters - 8-year-old Claire and 6-year-old Camille - could be part of history. Palin, the first Republican nominee for vice president, is an inspiration, Taubel said.
"A refreshing conservative candidate for our country and for families," Taunel said of Palin, "and I think she'll make a big difference in Washington."

Yea, Hunt, damn him from not surrounding himself with racists..
That logic just doesn't sit well with me. We've already had one from GA say that they had never heard of the use of the word, I am in the same boat in a state adjacent to GA, so unfortunately for the CC grubbers the issue isn't as black and white as I'm sure you'd like it to be.

Sorry, it just doesn't fly. The common use of the word is just too well known. A politician should know better. Binx says he or she never paid attention to racial issues. A politician in Georgia can't possibly do that. The guy's either a racist or an idiot (or both, I guess).

Barrons--so he doesn't have use of them during the marriage? I thought pre-nups usually mattered only for divorce! That's pretty hardcore that he's not allowed to live in them while married!

Does marrying money make you more or less out of touch than inheriting it or earning it?

What I am saying is it's not something he worries about or even gives a thought to. It's Cindy's domain just as I don't know exactly how much money is in our checkbook--my wife handles that and I have no idea what's in there. If I need a check I have to ask for one.

Barrons, that's really the point. McCain never has to worry about money personally. He doesn't have to think about his mortgage, or his health care costs, or paying for gas, or any of that. Obama's well off too, but he at least had a mortgage in the recent past.

None of the candidates have had to worry about money (except maybe Palin) in many years.
If you took a poll of all the "Washington Insiders" I would bet that they all have a pretty big nest egg that they're sitting on, they all have healthcare, none of them worry about paying for gas, etc.
Does that mean that they're ALL out of touch? Let's throw them all out and get a bunch of TRUE citizens in there...
