Ok McCain has stepped into it BIG time.. and HOPE Obama and other demos call him on it!!

[samrock]

He is saying the poor and lower middle class who work are bums! He is insulting those who work hard for little pay!! They sweat and strive for their meager wages.. pay FICA taxes.. get NO breaks and on top of that are now called welfare receivers who do not deserve a break!! Taxes collected via income tax OR FICA are treated the same by the federal government.. Al Gore wanted to treat them differently .. remember the lock box?!?! well republicans laughed at him for that suggestion.. Obama/Biden and other democratic party people need to throw this insult right back into their face and shut them up!!! -

1. McCain is a gazillionaire who collects social security and gets free health care

a real douche bag

[BrklynLiberal]

4. Technically. McSame has been on the public dole his ENTIRE LIFE!!!!

The taxpayers have paid for every thing he ever had..All his health care, his education, and a lot more that we may not even know about. The only things we have not paid for, were paid for by his second wife. I read that it was Ross Perot who picked up the tab for his first wife's medical bills, so he never even had to deal with that.

5. And he gets disability too.

[Lerrad]

6. And he deserves it. n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

8. We all do, but we don't all get it.....

[Th1onein]

10. But he doesn't think anyone ELSE deserves it.

Just him and HIS friends. You see, THEY are the "entitled ones." Everyone ELSE is just a lazy socialist who wants a free ride from the system.

2. John McCain thinks most Americans are like him; filthy rich and born with

a silver spoon.

Sarah "avergae joe" Palin' is worth over one million dollars...and she thinks she's "average".

Sarah, darlin', you're not average. In anything.

[BrklynLiberal]

7. It might be a great idea to publicize her status as a "not so average" Joe.

Truth be told, I think she may be worth a bit over 2 million...not exactly your average hockey Mom.
I think her "fans" should be apprised of that situation.

3. Barack already on it in St. Louis speech today. He made reference to what McCain said about

Obama giving "welfare" with his tax cuts to hard working lower income Americans. Don't worry, he will hammer McLizard on it.

I can't remember the exact wording---will try and get it up later.
I was too wrapped up in watching it. My two daughters were in that crowd of 100,000!

[Quixote1818]

12. I just heard him say that on our local news

He said something like "John McCain is the first person to run for president who calls tax cuts for working people welfare". Not his exact words but something similar.

9. Not to mention he just stomped all over the Military

My family hard qualify for upper middle class where I live. the medium income for a two in come household is 160,000. Well I don't work and my Husbands is active duty Military as are a lot of my friends so I guess we are all bums to

[BlooInBloo]

11. He's trying to get people to vote against their interests by calling them "welfare queens"...

if they vote in their interests.
