Mccain

John McCain was joking around on Morning Joe earlier today about gambling on the baseball playoffs and let loose a verifiably false claim, saying "I'm not a rich man."

Now I know he just trying to say he wasn't a good sports bettor, but if he can fun around, so can I.

So here's the result -- a video, reminding John McCain exactly how rich he really is:

If you haven't read the Rolling Stone article on Johnny Mc enlighten yourself (it is online). You will see how poor in character Johnny Mc is.

McCain may not be a rich man but he has a great Blonde I mean Golden Parachute that few of us have. Can McCain ever tell the truth on anything???

McCain is right, he is deep in poverty in all the ways that truly matter.

A man without a soul is truly destitute.

He is right you know. It is his wife's money.

I don't think people realize that John needs women to carry him (Fiora, Palin, Cindy) in order to be successful.

No pulling "oneself up by the boot-straps" with McCain

Sung to the tune: If I were a Rich Man

I am not a rich man, even though my wife is in the top percent
When I file my taxes, I’m so poor I barely pay a copper cent.
Sure we have eight homes, 13 cars to move along, and where I hang my hat
Is beneath the Senate Dome, but………

I am not a rich man, even though I take donations by the ton,
When I was a prisoner I was stuck in war without a jet or a gun
Now I want to serve in the job that I deserve, but look at that Barack
How dare he challenge me, what nerve …….Remember

I am not a rich man, not elitist like Obama and his wife,
They have made their money selling books and telling stories of his life
Me I married mine, I love to gamble all the time
Every chance I get I put her money on the line
But……………
I am not a rich man, that’s why I have lobbyists and gurus like Phil Gramm
They make the money for me, Phil messed up when he showed that we don’t give a hamn
The poor are a bunch of whiners and those Obamas social climbers
Come November please forget, my many homes, cars, private jet, private jet
Just go to the precinct and vote for me, and you never will regret………….
Cause……….I am not a rich man

Pool ol' McCain lives on Tobacco Road. Probably hasn't had a meal in days.

I agree with McCain in part. He's definitely not rich in wisdom, self-control, humility, intelligence, honesty, or vision. His statement is a self-absorbed approach to pseudo self-deprecation. He thinks his history of lies and distortion better define him than the glaring truth. But, not all are taken in by his antics. We know what wealth is, and it's not measured by houses, cars and political power. At 72, he should have already learned that valuable life's lesson.

Like Chris Rock said on Larry King...trust the guy w/ one house and one car because he's the one that will be homeless if he loses his house!! Mr. McCain and his "Joe Six Pack" running mate don't represent me!

Sen. McCain is NOT a rich man. It has been obvious over the last 4-5 years he has mortgaged his soul to gain respect within his party culminating with his nomination of Republican Presidential Nominee. I feel bad for John. I think he would be a lot happier if he just retired at the GOVERNMENTS recommended age of 65-66.

Riddle me this: WHY is there a floor (35 years of age to run for president) and not a ceiling (65-66 like all other men and women who have jobs in the American Workforce)?????

35 minimum age for the office of Presidency
_______________________________

66 maximum age for the office of Presidency

He owns SEVEN homes (some estimates up to 9)
He owns an airplane
He owns THIRTEEN cars
Cindy wore a $300,000 outfit and jewels to the convention

And yet moronic middle-class voters who lost their only home think he understands them.

The worst of it is that Cindy was probably being restrained in her spending for that outfit. Don't forget the $750,000 credit card bill for one month.
