Not remembering how many houses you own?
Or being purposely less than upfront on all the details of a cushy land deal you made with a shady money man like Tony Rezko? JammieWearingFool is on the same page.
McCain spokesman Brian Rogers responds:
“Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses? Does a guy who worries about the price of arugula and thinks regular people “cling” to guns and religion in the face of economic hardship really want to have a debate about who’s in touch with regular Americans?
“The reality is that Barack Obama’s plans to raise taxes and opposition to producing more energy here at home as gas prices skyrocket show he’s completely out of touch with the concerns of average Americans.”
Stop The ACLU wonders, too, if ”57 State Obama” really wants to go there. Oh, let’s hope so.

So the Democrats want to appeal to class envy. You shouldn’t vote for McCain because he’s rich.
Actually, my understanding is that Cindy McCain is the one with the money.
By the way, does anyone remember who the Dems nominated for president four years ago? I’m sure it couldn’t have been someone who married into wealth, could it?

The McCain people are apparently prepping a new ad hitting The One for his Rezko associations, while an independent group has put out a hard-hitting ad about the Prophet Barack’s buddy, William Ayers.
Methinks Obama is going to learn a lesson about glass houses and stones.
(BTW, my apologies for linking to my own blog, but the trackback I sent seems to have been eaten.

No problem, Anthony - I was able to rescue your trackback, thank goodness
and I just sent a trackback of my own to yours from my most recent post.

I’m not McCain’s biggest fan, but at least the Republicans finally have a candidate who’s not afraid of playing hardball.
I don’t care how much money a candidate has. I care about what he’s planning to do with mine.

I finally figured McCain out: he wants to run an honorable campaign and won’t fling mud first, but he’s ready for a brawl if the other guy starts one. His hero is Teddy Roosevelt, so this makes sense. And you can bet that ad about Ayers from the independent group got a smile from him, too. Mac is quite happy to get rough, once the other side has “gone there.”
I know he’ll frustrate the heck out of me at times as president, but, right now, I’m liking him a lot.
And I think there are a lot of people not giving his campaign enough credit.
And the Democrats have chosen that sanctimonious, anti-Semitic twerp Jimmy Carter as their opening speaker at the convention. I couldn’t have scripted this better.

I’m on the same page as Trish and Anthony. I’m tired of candidates who are afraid - or at least reluctant - to hammer the leftists hard on their weaknesses. Having just finished reading Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right, I’m encouraged that McCain’s campaign isn’t being wimpy.
By the way, there’s a new McCain ad that does a nice job mixing Obama’s own words with more Ten Commandments footage. It’s here, if you haven’t seen it yet.
