Sounds to me like he's not anal about everything Cindy does, and goes about his own business as a Senator and running for President. Now maybe you think it's normal to be paranoid about everything your spouse does, but not everyone does.

Maybe he didn't want to let the world know that he is a gold digger.


Seriously, he should have said he had none in his name.

Community property is a different issue especially if she had him sign some kind of contract.

Maybe he is afraid to admit that his wife runs the show. Who knows for sure all we can do is speculate.


McCain '08- Homelessness gets everybody, even me.


Excuse the humor just trying to lighten things up.

LOL @ attempt of O.P.

and to quote Mr. McCain as a reponse:

"*chuckle* yeah...and i just stopped beating my wife last week"


A legally binding contract (marriage) makes the property his as much as hers


McCain owns houses.

I really don't even get the point of this thread other than a visually impaired version of follow the leader.

I don't get the point of the entire topic. Apparently the Obama campaign does because they're releasing commercials. Who gives a crap how many houses the guy owns?

I don't. But it'd be nice to see him being able to account for some of them. Look, in a few months this guy is supposed to be counting not houses, but ICBMs and stealth bombers as well as miles of oil pipelines and trillions of dollars that we owe to banks. Somehow McSame does not come across as a person who can do all of that.

paranoia has nothing to do with it. How in the hell do you not know how many properties you own.
How wealthy and out of touch are you when most people can't pay their mortgages and yet he has so many properties he doesn't know.
How is he supposed to run a country when he doesn't even know what his own 8 households are doing?
Must be nice to be so wealthy you don't know how many houses you own.

Do we really need to delve into this again? From your statement I guess we can assume that you will be sitting this election out, right? If you're anti-rich, you don't have a candidate in this election. EVERY CANDIDATE is loaded, just like in every other election since I've paid attention.

I really don't see what any of this has to do with anything.

Who cares if these guys are wealthy? Honestly? What's wrong with being wealthy?

This is just pure class envy and quite frankly its disgusting.

Actually I think it's more INDICATIVE of a tired man not being able to think on the spot.

No more INDICATIVE than Obama's remark that he visited all 57 states. Of course that was quickly written off by Obama supporters.

The same ones who want to make this a big deal.

Sorry about this ..double post.

Virginia is also a community property state. However ..if one owns property before marriage and it has no liens on it ..no moneys owed. It is owned by the originial purchaser..not both spouses.

If one takes out a second mortgage on said property it can now be considered communial..though it was originally paid off under the first mortgage.

None of these concepts were made clear in the rush to play "gotcha politics" and put everyone cheering for thier respective candidates and partys. These informations were left hanging while implications were made..with nothing made explicit...only the speculation about private propertys.

On the other hand ...the abortion issue has been used specifically and continually to litmus test the qualifications for any office in the land since way back with Roe VS Wade...was implemented. This is definitely a public forum issue. "Above my pay grade" in lieu of the number of years that Roe VS Wade has been in effect is not getting it in confidence among much of the Amercan public.

THe number of houses one owns is not of the same caliber or merit as a abortion in a public forum issue unless one is desperate in damage control necessitys. Thinking people know this...emoting people usually do not.

That political party..the Democrat Party had since back with Roe VS Wade to prep thier candidates for any and all questions..and dropped the ball...rather badly here. Now they must damage control with "Gotcha " techniques on placebo issues.
This shows poor political strategys and also a sense of entitlement beliefs to resort to such desperation.

THe sad thing from my perspective is that they so obviously think no one will see it for what it is..much less express the concept.

Not being able to answer the abortion question outside of the " Above my pay grade" reply clearly indicates to me that this whole political party is out of touch with America themselves.
Now to resort to this in distraction..in desperation..indicates to me that they are once again out of touch with those Americans who can think past the next sound bite and are not wont to get on the emotional rollercoaster so often used or misused to keep us on the voting string.

This is a desperation spin tactic.

I dont care if he or his wife own multiple homes....or how many. It is none of my buisness.

Thanks,
