The issue is really not McCain’s wealth or how many houses he has
Rather, it’s the combination of his and Cindy’s extreme wealth AND his being so out of touch with the average American that he says the economy is doing well and that the Bush tax cuts for the rich should stay.
Contrast this with John Kerry, who also married into wealth and yet kept asserting during his 2004 campaign his desire to lower taxes for the middle class, to stand up for the average American and give them the breaks that had gone instead to the richest segment of the population for the first 4 years of *.

1. McCain is a slave to the corporations and lobbyists
he tries to make you think he is on your side but he isn't. He's just a fake.

4. The Dems should do the same to McSame.
Why has McWar not released his full military record?
Why has McWar not released his full medical record?
Why has McWar not released his full financial record?
Why are 32 speeches he made on behalf of Ho Chi Min's regime STILL classified?

What is John McSenile hiding?

5. Kerry often used himself as an example of who should be paying their fair share
Republican talking heads are trying to spin this as an "attack on Cindy" or "class-warfare".

It isn't that -- as you say, it is an attack on McCain's clueless stance that the economy is doing pretty well.

He has so many houses he can't remember how many he has. Most Americans know how many houses they have. Most Americans realize the economy is not doing well.
