New DNC ad: How many homes do you own?

posted at 11:20 am on August 22, 2008 by Allahpundit

Picture the response ad that’s coming. Opening line: “The Democratic Party would never nominate a candidate who owns multiple homes. Would they?” Cut to photos of mansion after mansion, each tagged with its property value and synced to the sound of cash registers: $4.9 million, $6.6 million, $9.1 million. Grand total: $29 million, more than twice what ol’ Moneybags McCain’s properties are worth. Nail it down with a graphic citing the 2004 net worth financial disclosure — somewhere between $198,794,683 and $839,038,000 — and wrap it up in a bow with a shot of Barry O and his buddy Waffles palling around on the trail. Closing kicker: “The Democratic Party: For Multimillionaire Nominees Before They Were Against Them.” The script writes itself, boys. Chop chop.

I don’t think the joke is so much that McCain is rich…the reason why what he said was so gaffe-tastic is that he actually couldn’t remember how many houses he owns…when he’s been trying to paint Obama as an elitist.

I’m far more interested in how many starving, third-world siblings Obama has than how many houses McCain has. Because Obama’s the one who is so keen to pick all our pockets to help the poor. Whatever happened to “charity begins at home?”

Do the same ask people if they have a racist pastor, have any terrorist friends or if they have bought their house from a slumlord.

He owns zero houses; sounds like he’s more like the common man than any president in history.

Do they really think this junior high bullshit comeback is going to be effective?????
Good God almighty!!!!!!!

What a dumb question, no doubt from a child like moron.

Hey Oblahblah, at least McCain didn’t buy anything from your Arab pal Tony Rezko, or from your terrorist buddy William Ayers. But your pastor, the wrong Rev. Wright’s house needs to be looked at by the IRS!

This is just a distraction from the real issues!

I think most people see right through this stuff. Believe it or not they are more concerned with the price of a gallon of gas than they are with how many homes McCain’s rich wife owns.

Hey allah, McCain should hire you to do these ads. You are good at this stuff.

How many shanties has Obombem’s brother survived in?

Now are condo’s homes or rentals to someone else?

Home is where you live, love, and raise a family. We all only have one Home. But, many posses several houses (structures) that are used as investments for ones family that lives in only one home.
