McCain's Mansions: The Houses That Greed Built

Most working families today do not have homes that have anywhere near 10 rooms. John McCain has 10 houses. Many working people in America have to work two and three jobs to provide for their families and pay their car loans. John McCain hops on a private jet. Is it any wonder why McCain champions a George Bush agenda of cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, helping oil companies turn record profits, and leaving working families to fend for themselves? McCain's velvet world leaves him utterly unprepared to make the tough choices we need to restore the middle class and ensure that everyone in America has quality, affordable health insurance.

-Andy Stern, President, Service Employees International Union (SEIU)

John McCain is soaring to new heights of hypocrisy on his wife's personal jet. He flies around the country bent on duping the public into believing he's "one of them," a regular guy who can empathize with Americans facing an overwhelming economic crush. What's more, he disparages those who oppose his ridiculous policy proposals as "elitist." But who's the real elitist?

The REAL McCain is a multimillionaire who owns ten luxurious homes. The REAL McCain backs President Bush's tax cuts for big corporations. The REAL McCain empathizes only with the interests of our nation's wealthy minority, not its money-strapped majority. But far too many are buying into McCain's deceit because the corporate press won't present the whole picture, so we created this video to educate the public about the REAL McCain.

Together, you have been a force in making sure The REAL McCain videos have been seen by nearly 6.5 million people. But as Frank Rich noted in his NY Times column yesterday, 40% of Americans hear too little about McCain from the mainstream media, meaning "the public doesn't know who on earth John McCain is." That's why it's crucial you ensure this video is seen by as many as possible, and that we use each and every tool at our disposal to get the word out. Send this on to five friends and family members, and tell them to send it to five people they know. Get it to your local news outlets and blogs and networking sites like Digg. Raise hell about McCain's economic duplicity!

AFL-CIO President John Sweeney summed it up best when he said McCain "simply doesn't understand the challenges America's working families are facing because he isn't remotely affected by them." It's up to us to tell people who McCain really is, a jet-setting elitist more concerned with corporate lobbyists than hard-working Americans.

yet Pelosi is the richest in congress,,,, that is above John Kerry Heinz and Ted Kennedy......How about Feinstein and Edwards(he is still a democrat) Hillary and the 150 milion?

[AnnieinOR]

are any of them currently running for the presidency at this moment? nothing wrong with being rich, as long as you are not out of touch. those you named are all in the party that helps the underpriviledged, unlike "mr. let them eat cake and 5 million is rich"

[AnnieinOR]

Sorry. Pointing this out would be playing the "class card" and of course no Democratic party candidate would EVER be so crass.

Every time a corporation exports some working stiff's job overseas, they are practicing class warfare. When Wal-Mart "educates" it's mininum wage workers that a win for Obama in November would be "disastrous" for working people, it practices class warfare. When John McCain votes against the new G. I. bill because it's "too generous", he practices class warfare. When a CEO lays off workers so he can ensure he get's his bonus, he's practicing class warfare. When an insurance company refuses to pay for a necessary procedure or medication a person needs, they practice class warfare. When members of the Congress don't want an average schmoe to have health care as good as they have, they practice class warfare. You SO DON'T want to go there!

C'mon people, including all of you struggling middle classers, as per the good Sen. from AZ, those making 5 million a year or less, get to work and reveal this decivious flim flam artist for who he is. Spread the word about the REAL Mc Ca in.

Thank you Mr. Greenwald! The free pass the MSM has given this man, while tauting daily their "people don't know who OBAMA is" meme, is not acceptable.

Obama NEEDS TO ADVERTISE THIS!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!

Make a commercial saying-

At a time when most average Americans are struggling,

McSame owns 10 houses, a private jet, and has an heiress wife.

Do you?

Obama and his family come from humble backgrounds and got to where they are by hard work and perseverance.

Stop with the class warfare. They are countless numbers of dirty rich Democrats in public office and private life. How much money does Hollywood blow on one night of the Academy Airwards just on fashion and party’s. I can go 1,000,000 directions with this post. John Kerry, Oprah, The Kennedy’s and on and on. There is no crime in being rich and that is coming from a man who has a wife and five children making
$42,000 a year. I bet you and all you writers on the HuffPost make more then that. So
why don’t you take up a collation and send me something. That right you rather have the government do it. Bet my taxes go up under Obama and I don’t see any benefit from it.

[lobear00]

hypocrites­onallsides­, come out of the closet your tax dollars are all over "Iraq" get a clue!
when you vote for a republican your supporting the rich. Better yet" run down to your local recruiter and sign up! "Help Cheny/Bush waste"Your tax dollars.

[hypocritesonallsides]

Yes, you are right McCain married to become rich. Obama had to go into politics be for he made some real cash.

[MHR55]

But we should vote for him because he wants everyone to be rich.

[chiefeditor]

No wonder McCain's definition of "rich" is so different from that of...everyone else on Earth: http://www.entertonement.com/collections/2183/John-McCain-Defines-The-Rich
