Dems seize on McCain's 13 cars
Democrats eager to portray John McCain as out of touch with average Americans and as a flip-flopper seized on a report Sunday the Arizona senator and his wife, Cindy, own more than a dozen cars — including several foreign-made automobiles.

A Newsweek article published on the magazine's Web Site Sunday said registration records show the McCains currently own 13 cars — two of which are foreign-made: a Honda and a Volkswagen. That appears to contradict the Republican presidential nominee's past statements he only buys cars made in America. (Cindy McCain also drives a Lexus and daughter Meghan owns a Toyota Prius, but neither are registered to the McCains.)

Newsweek also reported Barack Obama owns one car: a Ford Escape Hybrid.<[/b>

2. That is funny... AND sad, so many people have this notion that John McCain
is a broke man.. mainly because he's old, dottery, and looks frumpy.

7. I think the last two elections showed us a lot about how much voters care about issues
As Adlai Stevenson said when told that all of the thinking people in America were behind him, "That's not enough ma'am, we need a majority."

8. People do not care about the cars houses. People know
his wife's inheritance. He can afford these things.
Most do not envy others good fortune.

9. Wow, some common sense.
Thanks for your words. While I am not a fan of McShame, he is my state's senator. Sedona and Phoenix are not exactly Chicago and driving needs are different. At least most of the cars are American made which means his money went to folks here in the states.
