How Many Homes Does John Kerry Own?

[Amianthus]

John and Teresa own 5 homes worth in aggregate ~ $30M.

[Christians4LessGvt]

Ted Kennedy probably lives in a shack!

[Michael Tee]

John and Teresa aren't running for anything, neither is Ted Kennedy.  None of this BS changes the fact that Obama and his wife (the "elitists") own and live in only one home and McCain and his wife can't even answer the simple question of how many homes they currently own.  Tells ya something about who's the "elitist" in this race.

Your lack of attention to details is amazing.

When was Cindy asked how many homes she or her corporation or trust owns?

As far as elitists go, Obama earned 4 million last year. McCain earned 10 times less.

<<Your lack of attention to details is amazing.>>

Nowhere near as amazing as your ability to shift the topic and confuse the issue.

<<When was Cindy asked how many homes she or her corporation or trust owns?>>

She wasn't.  It was McCain who was asked how many homes he and his wife owned.  And who could not answer that question.  Even though it turns out that his tax returns show he paid over a quarter of a million dollars in one year to the workers who toil in the McCain homes.

<<As far as elitists go, Obama earned 4 million last year. McCain earned 10 times less. >>

I would EXPECT a highly intelligent ex-law professor to earn substantially more than a moronic ex-pilot, but as far as elitists go, I'd compare eight homes to one home any time any place, and similarly I'd have to say that the McCains' expenditure on domestic servants is, uh, highly impressive to say the least.

Even if that one home is the gift of a lobbyist?

Hey, if McCain wants to raise the issue of lobbyists, that's FINE with me.  I wouldn't do it if I were in his shoes, but then again, I'm not in his shoes.  McCain's connections with lobbyists and his own activities in that field stretch from his Keating Five days all the way to his current campaign, where lobbyists for the Georgian government headed the campaign while McCain denounced the invasion of Georgia, saying not a word about Georgian provocations.  Almost as if . . . naaaah, he couldn't be running for President of Georgia, could he?

No one complements Lobbyists , but who elese is paying for both conventions?

And many another thing?

McCain has a history of attempting to push Campaign reform that isn't popular with the rest of Congress , I would not worry that his history with Lobbyists would be any thing to worry about , if McCain is unqualified for his connections to Lobbyists then no member of the Senate is qualified.

where lobbyists for the Georgian government headed the campaign while McCain denounced the invasion of Georgia,

Not true.

[Michael Tee]

<<No one complements Lobbyists , but who elese is paying for both conventions?>>

The question isn't who's paying for the conventions, but who campaign is HEADED by a lobbyist.

Both campaigns have people involved with lobbying. AKP (from whence Obama derives his campaign manager) is related (sharing offices and staff) to ASK, a lobbying firm.

Though it's nearly indefinable, elitism's like porn: you know it when you see it, and what somebody else likes doesn't necessarily turn you on.

And yet, we're electing the president of the US; still the most powerful person in the world. I don't want an underachiever working on my car's transmission. Why would I want someone regular sitting in the Oval Office? Sorry, give me somebody who's demonstrated a capacity to excel. The cliché gotcha question of journalist is asking candidates what's the price of a gallon of gas at a particular locale. Can the candidate demonstrate with a single answer that he (or she) is a person of the people? Brother, I don't care if the candidate knows the local price of gas. I care if he fully understands the metrics that drive up or down a barrel of oil.

So the question isn't how many houses John McCain owns. The question is: does he

Whose is not?

[Michael Tee]

<<Whose [campaign] is not [headed by a lobbyist]?>>

I dunno.  You tell me.  My information is that Obama's top campaign adviser is David Axelrod, a professional political consultant and head of a firm of political consultants, which is not at all the same thing as a lobbyist.  If you have other information, please share it with us.
