John McCain's unprecedentedly ugly speech today

The increasingly petty and ugly attacks on Barack Obama by a desperate, dying movement are a microcosm of the last eight years.

    I don't get it !

    I don't get it McCain and his wife own 13 cars and so many homes McCain doesn't even know how many he owns, his wifes income is 6 million a year. Doesn't the average person think that is outragous? Why would I want to vote for a man who has no idea what it is like to live pay check to pay check,hope your car makes it through the year, try to feed your family with the price of food today,shop at the goodwill to save money. At least I know Obama and his wife live like real people and have the same issues of the common folk. No wonder Cindy M was addicted to pain killers,she would have to be sedated to live with such a bad tempered,mean,horrible man.
