Good for you Logan for getting this clip. It was the only thing worth watching on the Sunday morning shows. Each of these speakers was impressive in their own right. They didn't shy away from the facts about McCain.

I would like McCain to live with a family right now who are making moderate wages and striving to make ends meet. Let him live with them for a week to see what their worries are and how they feel about their future. Let reality slap him up side his head so he can see that not everyone has money to burn. Yeah, he was a prisoner of war, but these families are prisoners of the bush economy. They suffer too.

Well put! I was thinking the same thing and that's why I did the post. All three were dead on and they never let up. Rendell made one mention of McCain's military service, which they all need to stop doing, but otherwise, he was great. They deserved some attention and hopefully serve as a model for all Democrats when they talk about the differences between Obama and McMansion.

I don't know how many houses I have because I was a POW.

ATTENTION GOP..... you have a couple choices BUT they are mutually exclusive.....

1) john mccain is wealthy but doesn't know how many houses he has because POW experiences damaged his brain
2) john mccain is wealthy but doesn't know how many houses he has because he is clever enough to be president

DAMAGED OR STOOPID..... (could be BOTH but could not be NEITHER)

Wow these three articulated really well.

Great stay on message. It's not the problem of McCain having wealth. But he can't relate to the middle,lower middle class and working poor. He can't keep bring his POW status over 40 yrs or so ago, that is getting old and worn out.

I've had way more houses than McCain -- they were all rentals, and each slumlord was special in his/her own unique way.

One was a bookie, one was a drunk, one was a hermit, one was a regular Scrooge -- you get the idea.

Rufus. T. Firefly @ 11:

I think most of the reason people like McCain, even if they think he's full of shit, is because they feel sorry for him. It's amazing the number of people who will vote for somebody because they feel sorry for the person. I had a conversation with a girlfriend back in '96 that went something like this:

Me: Who are you voting for?
Her: Dole.
Me: Why? I thought you said you were liberal?
Her: Well, I am but I'm giving him my sympathy vote.

Reminds me of the concept of a "mercy f**k." Maybe too many Americans are willing to give Old Man McCain a patriotic "mf."

I didn't want Dole to win out of sympathy. I wanted Dole to win due to my own apathy and I didn't want the Dole jokes on Conan O'Brien to end.

It's about time these people got on the same page and combated the Right Wing Talking Points (trademark) from distracting everyone.

If McCain should get into the white house (god forbid) and he screws something up royally, is he going to blame it on his having been a POW? You can't milk that excuse forever.

McCain did admit to living at some time in four different homes. Even though he said the rest are investment properties, still most people can't even imagine owning four homes. That's more than most people own in a lifetime.

We own our home outright now, but I grew up poor as hell so I can remember what it feels like to wonder where the food will come from for dinner, if we have dinner. I know what it feels like to be evicted from a rental home...more than once. I know what it feels like to see daddy's car being towed away by the repo man....more than once. I know what it feels like to have a company come and repo the toys we got for Christmas. So even though now we, my husband and I, are very comfortable financially, I can experience by memory what people are dealing with today. McCain is clueless. This really is one of those things where you had to be there. He needs to educate himself. He needs to climb down from his ivory tower and experience life in the real world.

Each week at the market I pick up extra cans and boxes of food for the local food pantry. When we deliver the food and see the faces of the people there eagerly waiting to see what might be in the bags, I can see myself as a little girl and know the excitement I would have felt had we been able to visit such a pantry for help. I sure would like to take McCain with me to that pantry some week and let him intermingle with those families.

Ran across an interesting thought by Jessie Jackson in my local newspaper today:

We have one party with two different names........

hmmmm....

I think what was most damning about McCain’s response to the “How many houses” question wasn’t that he couldn’t give an answer but the way in which he responded.

If he had said “We use four of the houses we own and the rest are investments that Cindy has made and (like her taxes) I’m not going to get into that”, I think he could have escaped rather unscathed.

First of all with the housing crisis and trying to paint Obama as an out of touch elitist there is no explanation as to why he wasn’t prepared other than he just can’t relate to the struggles of everyday people. This isn’t about how much money he has or having a senior moment, it’s a whole attitude and worldview.

Second, to say I’ll have my staff get back to you shows the “I can’t be bothered with details” mindset that we have had with Bush for eight years.

TheAdviceWeAllNeed @ 1:

Remember people it won’t be John McCain running the White House it will be the same people running his campaign. John McCain is nothing more than a prop.

John McCain is intellectually and mentally incapable of running our country and people can’t lose site of that.

Exactly right. The Republican party has a history of promoting celebrity and personality over intelligence and competence. All they look for in their candidate is a puppet who can win a popularity contest. Then the people who really control the Republican agenda can pull the strings behind the curtain.

It really drives them batshit crazy (more than usual, anyway) when they're forced to go up against an opponent who can beat them at their popularity game–and who possesses intelligence and competence as well.

Basically it's true. Both campaigns have the same tired "unelected" teams that have been in Washington since forever........hold yer breath and vote people.......just don't look behind either party's curtains.

Wish I could say the same about what happened on CNN's "LATE EDITION"

WOLF's theme of the day: Hillary, 20% deadenders, Biden’s past comments, and an obcene amount of free airtime for McCain attack ads.

At one point, Wolf and Gloria Bolger said Obama and Hillary don’t like each other, Obama should have consulted the Clintons on his VP selection, and cleared her debt. John King was an absolutre moron, and rest weren't much better. As foir the Democratic surrogates, they were piss-poor. Even a weakling like Republican Tim Pawlently was able to push back.

I'm telling ya, Obama and Biden better attack McCain (his running mate), Bush, Cheney, Giuliani and Lieberman for the next 2 weeks. The MSM are playing into the Republicans hands, and have teed them up for an unprecented attack on Obama at the GOP convention. The attacks on Kerry will be nothing compared to what they’ll do to Obama. Rev. Wright, Ayers and Infanticide will be thrown at him on national television. Theyll even go with subtle racism to rally the conservative nutbase.

Also, if the MSM’s behaviour today is any indication, they’ll let them get away with it. It’s up to Obama and Biden to hit back HARD, regardless of whether they’re 12 pts ahead after the convention. They’ll need a war room, a rapid response team, a shitload of surrogates and attacks ads ready to go on the air opening night of the Repubican convention.

Otherwise Obama will be 12 pts behind, like Kerry was 4 years ago.

They should have jumped in and HAMMERED him over his comments about how Cindy's father went off to WWII and then returned and got rich. Hmmmm... Did that have ANYTHING at all to do with the GI BILL? The same type of bill that McCain recently opposed? Does the man know he's being hypocritical.

It would make no diff. to him at all. These people do not have a concience like we do. We are here to serve their needs and when they need a war we are truly their "cannon fodder". Just ask them and they will tell you just that.

Everything about McCain's response to Couric's question was irrelevant: being a POW doesn't entitle you to a lavish lifestyle later on, especially if you pursue policies that reward ultra-rich people like yourself; having a father-in-law who pulled himself up by the bootstraps doesn't entitle you to accept the benefits of his hard work without working hard yourself; and neither of these facts can justify McCain's decades-long disconnect from the real America. I don't begrudge him or his wife their wealth--it's obviously their right to be obscenely wealthy, own multiple properties, fly on a private jet, wear expensive clothes, etc. But I do begrudge McCain his obtuseness, hypocrisy, and constant playing of the POW card.

John McCain knew the economy was in the tank when he said everything was fine last January. He was trying to give the impression that things weree just great under the present administration. Now he had changed his story and tells us that he feels our pain. As the prosecutors say to witnesses who change their testimony, "Were you lying then, or are you lying now?"

Mark Halperin: "McCain House Gaffe one of the WORST MOMENTS of the campaign...for BARACK OBAMA."

First McCain tried to go for a sympathy angle by saying he didn't have a home or a kitchen table for five and a half years. Then he tried to excuse the many homes by explaining that Cindy's dad was wealthy. Why didn't he simply say we have four homes and some investment properties. Why the need to bring up the POW time and Cindy's dad? No one asked him to explain why they had the homes. The homes have nothing to do with his time as a POW. And the fact that Cindy's dad was wealthy has nothing to do with McCain not knowing how many homes he owns.

"I only have four houses and the rest are investment properties." Boy that puts me at ease! A house is a house is a house. How many are assigned to low income folks, JM because I'd like to apply, if I could find you in one of your "favorite four."
Just how dumb do you think everyone is?.......wait, don't answer that.

Mark Halperin no doubt has recieved his talking points from ROVE and SCHMIDT and is putting this shit out there as a warning shot to the MSM. He's a GOP whore and I take hi seriously when it comes this. And the likes of him and the usual MSM hacks will keep it alive following the Democratic convention.

Back in January, I would have been thrilled to have HRC as the candidate for president and still feel she would have been a great choice.
However, I am thrilled with the ticket as it is and think that having Clinton as VP or consulting her on the VP would have been a disaster.

Being that it's a non-local universe and linear time may well be an illusion, perhaps we'll start hearing McAskmystaff explaining his poor academic performance at Annapolis being due to his future capture as a POW.

Michael Moore hit the nail correctly on the head. There is nothing heroic about dropping Napalm and white phosphorous bombs on civilians so let's get over this bs about being a "war hero" and get on with the fact that mc cain will destroy our economy, our civil liberties, our standing in the world and each and every one of us if given a chance. The American Dream, as it has been so eloquently stated has become a nightmare from which we would all like to awaken.
Pass the salt, baby, we are all cooked if this moron becomes pres.
I just figured it out - he was born in 1937 - raised in the 50's - came back from Viet Nam damaged physically, emotionally,mentally and spiritually and some folks think he is fit to lead a nation in the 20th century? I think his day past many years ago.
It will be interesting to watch the juvenile attacks that his campaign comes up with.

I was disappointed to hear Ed Rendell still spouting the POW meme for John McCain. They need to stop referring to it at all.

Very refreshing to hear three very intelligent, civilized, and 100% correct politicians stating their case without recourse to smears, lies and innuendo. Made me realize just hoe shameful and morally bankrupt the Republican party is in 2008.

Zeppyfish @ 51:

First of all, anyone who runs for president is obscenely wealthy. Period. Throwing around this "you have seven houses" line is a dead end. Why not talk about POLICIES that Bush has put in place and that McCain will continue? Why get into this horrible name-calling? PEOPLE ARE EXHAUSTED BY IT!

One of the main reasons Obama was nominated was that he SEEMED to be above all this mudslinging garbage. Getting down in the mud with the Repubs will only lead to more voter fatigue. People want HOPE! Not the people on TV - the REAL people. I understand that CNNMSNBCFOX will parrot all this negativity, but who cares? We don't have to be like them!

sounds good but it's too late to take the high road. people don't play fair in politics. i personally don't care how many homes mccain has.....but his campaign started the nasty comments: he'd rather win an election than the war...he's elitist...he's a celebrity/rockstar..
in my opinion obama doesn't want to there but the proverbial egg has been cracked........many people look
at the glass half filled.....they've done plenty of control
group studies to understand human emotion/memory/
decision making....the art/science of negative linguistic
framing.....the (R) are masters at it. they design comments to require research by the voter to see if the
statement is true. most don't do the research they believe what they think they hear on the idiot box.

Sharon @ 58:

I agree to an extent on how the Dems refer to McCain's service.

I disagree that they should not ever discuss it. John is hiding behind a built up image as war hero when in fact it is more war victim. Is John more of a hero than one who was killed in Vietnam?
Or more of a hero than the American troop in Iraq that used his own body to cover a grenade that was tossed his vehicle with three other soldiers in that vehicle and the others lived because of his death?

John should be called out every time he uses his service as the excuse of a child that tells his teacher his dog ate his homework.

'Bout time!!

CNN and all the other media outlets try to deal only with the weakest speakers from the Democratic party and never normally invite such people

Can't wait to watch Schiefer's pandering to McCain in the upcoming debate.

Look folks as much as we like to attack McCain and his gang for this political mess this race has become. We cannot over look the roll our national media is playing in it.

I think the Democratic group above did a very good job of staying on message, however they are not the usual group of paid voices, these networks are presenting to us on daily bases.

This was just a small sound bite, presented to us early on a Sunday when most democrats are in Denver, at the festivities and not even viewing it. Yet if you tune into CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, other then Keith Obberman who is just one voice, you are going to find the same gang of cheap disgusting voices, slamming the democratic process.

They are on this mission to help McCain and the Bush administration pull this next election off, and as we speak, they are behind the scenes, with fat ass Karol Rowe, who should be in jail I might add, just pulling the same illegal strings, he pulled to get us Bush for two terms.

We need to be having good intelligent, concise, dialog about how we are going to accomplish winning this election and we do not need the powers that be to be in the for front of whom will be organizing and conducting the process.

We need to be talking about these voter registration departments in every dame state, to find out if they are fully equipped with paper ballots and that they all have more then enough poll workers to handle the enormous amount of people who WILL be voting. We need to be talking about making sure that most people will be voting on election day, because there is no trust in sending in your votes.

They are illegally counting them before our elections and then disposing of them, because they don't like the outcome. That is a fact.

We need to zero in on mainly these states, with Republican Governors, who are not shy about screwing around with our election process. We have to target these states and make sure we have ample coverage of concerned voters, to zero in on these people and keep close watch on their prospective process to assure a free and fair election. We know the cities and counties that are the most venerable and it will be no different this year, make no mistake about that.

McCain does not own, operate and control our media (or does he?). There is little or no mistake about what these people are doing. We know whom the real owners of these corporations are. We know what kind of people they have become and the very serious damage they have created in this country, in their quest to control our government and everything in it and we should make no mistake about that.

Now Obama just announced his running mate yesterday and look what kind of coverage he got. ( it just makes you sick to know these people are going to do whatever they can to derail this election). If McCain is doing as well as they and these bogus pollsters claim he is doing, then why is it necessary to derail the democratic process?

It is a known fact that through out the country, there are problems with voting machines and this is not something that is knew. We have been well aware of all the stolen elections and with the kind of coverage we are now getting from the very same media owned operation we have had though out this disgusting administration, whom will not go near this, other then a sound bite.

It is difficult to discuss our voting problems in this country if we don't have a cooperative avenue in our media (and we don't). They will read some of our complaints about this and then set up a team of unknown people in the form of a round table (most of them republicans or paid spokespeople), that will talk about the issue and then it goes away. Nothing is done.

This administration and the republican party are well aware of the voting problems all over this state, yet they have done everything possible to block any legislation that would derail the kind of conduct we have become so familiar with, our past elections.

Senator Obama presented legislation more then two years ago, that would give jail time to anyone involved with voter fraud. I can't go into all the issues he was promoting, its been so long , but it was a really good piece of legislation, that was stopped dead in it's tracks by the party on the right. I have an email from Senator Reid, that talks about his frustration on this subject. (he responded to me on this subject, because I was at his front and back door, pounding him to fix the problem.

As successful as I and all of you know this conference will be, it is not going to be the message we get from this right wing media. As was the trip Obama took abroad, they will derail it and we know this and then claim Obama does not have what it takes.

We know different, so we have to continue tuning into the liberal media, to get the right message from people who really do think like they have good common sense and simply ignore the bogus polling data they are now using.

You know the polling data, given to us by the very same people that are laughing and playing with the process, simply does not jive with the massive numbers of people we are generating to make sure we get a democratic process,not just the President, but all the avenues important to this country . It is a fact that democrats have and continue to register voters in record numbers, all across this country and in most states we have gained in numbers of more then two to one.

This is a fact that is not reflected in the polling data, that Zogby and Ressmussion claim is so accurate.

This consistent rant for Hillary is also a fabrication of facts. They forgot they did a survey just weeks ago that told many of us that 64% of these so called Hillary supporters had already got on the winning Obama side, and there were only 18% were still undecided. Now we are back to this clear fabrication of she has eighteen million people, just howling foul play. She set up a meeting for her so called supporters and it was noted, that very few if any bothered to show up. These are the same republicans that crossed over to vote Hillary folks. That fact, along with the bogus polling is all they have to go on.

They are simply not being truthful and we all should if we don't know why that is. If they wanted to be honorable in any kind of fairness light, they would admit, they are polling only people who use land lines, that many many Americans have simply disposed of, in favor of cel phones, but that the figures they can give us is the best they can account for because of the changes of demographics in phone usage.

Don't forget your 9-car caravan if you want to go to Starbucks.

While Rep. Jackson's point is well taken, I thought the same thing. Grandpa McSame and his pill popping wife don't do any of the mundane things the rest of us deal with on a daily basis. They don't cook, clean, cut the grass, grocery shop, fill the gas tank, find parking spaces or even pay their own bills. They and their children HIRE what are hopefully registered Democrats for those tasks.

Where have Democrats of this caliber been during the last 8 years? Maybe it was because there were no "whining", subject-changing, obfuscating Repigs to distract.

Senator McCain: How well have you and your family done under the Bush tax policies since 2001?

Wait, wait. There were three Dems being interviewed at the same time with twice as many Repugs on to "even things out"? That can't be right...

re:So when John McCain gets up in the morning and leaves his house to lock his door, he has to shuffle through a number of keys to figure out which key works

What on earth makes you think he carries the keys to his houses? That's a job for one of the servants and probably hasn't unlocked a door in years.

Sorry McTrollop but I've never been able to afford something you might consider a "house" in the Bay Area for the last 16 years until very recently. The only reason I can now is because of the housing market/sub prime mortgage crisis and that I/we happen to be doing well (one was laid off but we managed after selling off my collection of early American art pottery) and I have some money in my 401K. That's hardly something I like to be proud of, especially now while others are now eating shit, either because they over-extended themselves willingly or thought they were going to cash out when the market was still skyrocketing and waged their "dream" on a shaky only interest loan (or some other snake oil from your buddy Phil Graham and the banking industry). A great economy? Nope. Middle class stimulus checks? Wrong again! Gas Tax Holiday?! Fuck you John McCain! Maybe if I was a POW I could forget about some of my seven houses…

Oh Yeah,

Wow a Jackson that speaks and makes sense! I like him already!

I think its a slap in the face restoring Fla. and MIch. votes now that they don't matter! Obama fought to see my vote only counted half to secure his nomination. If we had our full votes then the outcome may have changed and he was not going to take the risk! He stole the nomination and the dummycrats in charge allowed it! I will not give him my vote or John so i choose to write in Hillary Clinton and I hope the 18 million other Americans do the same! It is sad when a country as great as the U.S.A. has no better candidates to offer than these 2 clowns!

When is this "we can find examples of wrongdoing in both parties, so they're exactly the same" nonsense going to be put out of its misery? Sorry, but if you're looking for purity in this world, you're going to die looking. Most realists do what they can to improve a situation, even if it might not be to the degree they'd like.

Thank you rekroc! I've said this a lot myself, but not as well as you have.

A realist? Are you kidding?? The real situation is our two party system no longer works. Improve the situation?? For who? Us? We The People? Wake up. Politicians don't give a rats ass about us, it's all about them and their buddies who pay their way. Ever noticed that most politicians have more money than your average Joe will see in his lifetime. Yes I believe the Democrats will once again win across the board majority on the hill, but mark my words, in a decade or so it will be the Democrats who are the 'bad guys' and once again the Republicans will present themselves as the ones to 'save' the country. Starting the vicious cycle all over again. You know who are the real losers? The Country itself and it's People. Our Government has been corrupt for so long, people seem to think that's just the way it is. One day it will change. Our kids are going are going to grow up (if we haven't annihilated each other by that time) and change it. Yes, one party, two different names. A democratic majority will not change anything, a new President will change very little. Presidents rarely relinquish powers collected by their predecessors. It will be the same old, same old...just a different decade with a different name. Yes 'hold your breath and vote'. Vote like it really makes a difference.

Watch out, your arguements are concluding themselves, not healthy!

I thought all three were very good and hope that the Democrats will be unified on sticking to the issues, particularly the economic ones. Several people have commented on various threads that Cindy McCain's father is (was?) a convicted felon and also that their beer distributorship has or has had mob connections. Does anyone have any hard facts?

The question isn't so much, "How many kitchen tables does John McCain have?" The question I'm wondering, "How many medicine cabinets does that give Cindy?"

We've all heard of the "house with 7 gables" - well in McMoron's case, it's "McCain of 7 houses". This one faux pas will cost McStupid the election because it cuts deep into the heart of what most americans are facing right now - the loss of their hearth and home. To hear this vulgar little rich kid with PTSD attempt to connect the dots of his lack of innate intelligence in knowing how many homes he owns and blaming it on being a POW is the height of stupidity. I guess he saw the Bushitcos use nonsense logic and get away with it but it isn't going to work for him this time. People are getting wiser and know the semantics of Bush Doubletalk all too well.

Besides, what does this really tell us if we're looking between the lines? That truth is even more frightening and that is the fact that his synaptic activity in his brain is flawed in even thinking that being a POW somehow made sense with his incomprehension of how many homes he owned. That's downright horror in the making. Imagine this guy having his finger on the pulse of the world and forgetting what he's doing????

This has illustrated and will continue to illustrate just how patholigically out of touch this man is with not only what's going on in this country and the world but out of touch with himself mentally. He's impaired mentally and it's beginning to show.

So what we have here is a mentally handicapped (PTSD) senile bungling moron who can't remember what car he is driving or how many homes he owns coupled with a drug-addicted, anorexic, prematurely over-the-hill chickadee - imagine what an impression these two fools would make in the White House with foreign dignitaries? (**cringing**). What a duo, indeed!

BTW, just asking: whatever happened the the diagnosis we were supposed to be hearing about the mole which was biopsied earlier this month and the return of his cancer (invasive melanoma)? Anyone hear anything about that?

If he were to win, the nation would see him on chemotherapy along with psychiatric couseling - and on his way down the tubes physically and mentally. Not good.

"he’s so out of touch"

I don't think that is the message to 'stay on'. The message to stay on is not personal -- it's ideological. The Republicans believe it is not the government's role to help any one in trouble (except the rich). It's like Hoover in 1932 but worse. McCain is in touch with the message of his party. It's the message of his party that we should pounce on, not the fact that there's an old man out there being the spokesman for it. It's not a matter of being 'out of touch'. It's a matter of being wrong for this country.

P.S. Go ahead and wait forever for your perfect savior politician to come along and magically transform the system before you bother to get involved. The rest of us who actually give a shit about where this country is headed are going to make do with what we've got in an attempt to enact small, incremental changes for the better. Getting Obama elected instead of McCain is one of those small changes.

Remember people it won’t be John McCain running the White House it will be the same people running his campaign. John McCain is nothing more than a prop.

John McCain is intellectually and mentally incapable of running our country and people can’t lose site of that.
