What makes McCain think that attacking Obama on "spreading the wealth around" is a winner for him?

[Thrill]

For people who aren't rich. Which is most of the country, it sounds like a pretty good idea.

He was on this like it was a winner for him?? Why? Weird

[Clio the Leo]

1. Because John McCain just doesn't get it. NT

[FrenchieCat]

2. He's thinking he is running in the 1980s......

he's confused and erratic!

[Kool Kitty]

3. I think that McCain thinks

that if he says this, folks might just think that Obama is a communist or a socialist. Which is just stupid and/or desperate. McCain is flailing.

5. yep, that's McSame's thinking totally, code word to the base nt

[BayouBengal07]

4. It plays to the base

They're scared to death of a "Socialist" in the White House.

[TheKentuckian]

6. We weren't socialist under Reagan as far as I recall.

I reckon they'll get by, the poor, poor, oppressed souls.

[TheKentuckian]

7. dupe

[Union Thug]

8. Because the Maverick (tm) is still running on debunked trickle down (up) economic theory?

[msallied]

9. It's the classic Marxist trap.

Obama is about as much an economic centrist as Bill Clinton.

[pnwmom]

10. Because, unfortunately, many middle class people assume that means

taking more of their earnings in taxes to pay for the poor.

[LynnTheDem]

11. Coz john Mccain, rich boy, thinks all Americans are filthy rich like him.

John mccain, rich boy, thinks all Americans have to `get back to you` when asked how many homes they own.

John mccain, rich boy, like george w. bush, rich boy, is so far out of touch and always has been.

12. I just wish Obama had made it really clear

even though he did say it, he could have said it so much clearer, that it was the BIG COMPANY's (ill-gotten) wealth that he wanted to spread around to the rest of the 95% of the country, not the other way around like has been happening for the past decade.

[Beregond2]

13. I KNOW!

What fucking idiot! Oh no, please don't spread the wealth!

[SeattleGirl]

14. Exactly.

I like what Olbermann said after he showed a clip of that little remark: Most people are saying, PLEASE spread it around! Please!!

[Crunchy Frog]

15. Because we all think we're going to win the lottery and become multimillionaires.

[CitizenLeft]

16. even dumber:

"Joe the Plumber - you're rich! Congratulations!"

Bet that went over well with the 95% of us worried about what economic disaster is next. What a dumbass.

[barack the house]

17. It's all about McCain he doesn't care about any of the ordinary folk his taxes will raise. Oinkers.

[LiberalAndProud]

18. It's Rush's line.

McCain listens to Rush and really thinks he speaks for middle America. He's been hoodwinked.
