So anyone not paying attention and just viewing at a quick glance their assinine chart would identify themselves more with that "straight-talking, just one of us kind of guys" McCain.

It's subtle, but they're experts at this shit. They know what they're doing.

It shouldn't even be close. After 8 years of this fuck-up in the WH, the Democrats should absolutley clean-up in November but CNN and others are doing their damndest to try and help McCain's pathetic campaign appeal to Joe Sixpack.

3. Doesn't matter. They're still husband and wife.
They live in the same house, they are raising young children together, they are a family.

8. Why isn't the media screaming bloody murder about Mrs. McCain's tax records being withheld?
Edited on Sat Apr-19-08 09:55 PM by rocknation
John Kerry's wife released a statement of her income, at least.

Cindy's wealth has nothing to do with what she's earned, nor does it have to do with she and her husband filing separately. And since she has a job running a beer distributorship, she MUST have some kind of income.

:headbang:
