John McCain is married to a millionaire heiress, I think they own 8 seperate homes. Clinton family earns an average of $13 million a year.
In the last decade Food prices have doubled or tripled, healthcare & higher education has doubled in cost, oil is 4x higher per barrel, there is a real estate foreclosure crisis, the economy is going south, fewer jobs offer healthcare, jobs are being shipped overseas, wages have stagnated, our economic policy always has money for war & tax cuts for the rich but struggles to get student aid or SCHIP, the national debt is almost double, we were lied into an unnecessary war by the Bush admin preying on our fears of terrorism, the constitution is being assaulted daily, the democrats are spineless, this war will cost $2-3 trillion in direct/indirect costs, we are torturing people in secret prisons, our reputation is destroyed, the corporate media has consistently dropped the ball on the important stories affecting our democracy, nobody is doing anything about global warming, we're being lied to all the time by a criminal government, Bin Laden is still free, accountability for the Bush admin is 'off the table', noone will talk about or address serious concerns about 9/11 or vote fraud, the Bush admin is trying to trick us into a war with Iran, etc.
I can't comprehend the mentality that makes someone think that a person who points out that these issues are making people angry and upset is elitist. What is even worse is when someone with 8 homes like John McCain claims to be a man of the people and people believe him.
And Hillary's voice was so fake and condescending. I can't understand why her supporters cheered. Can anyone explain that to me? I'm not trying to be rude, just curious. What makes a middle class worker who is probably struggling to buy food, fuel and healthcare while being terrified of losing their job cheer an obviously fake, condescending statement like that, esp from a multimillionaire? Did they not catch her tone of voice? I'm not trying to be rude, just curious.
