I hope that my hard work and determination (and choice of a wife) will lead me to elevate myself from middle class to owning 13 cars and 7 houses.

BTW anybody can own 13 cars for less than 2,000 dollars. His cars will just be a lot nicer

whats going on in here?

9/23/2008 12:35:00 AM

Someone please explain to me how someone who owns 7 houses, and 13 vehicles can possibly
know anything about the struggles of people living in the middle class here in America??

Even my friends who have parents with $$, may have atleast one house and maybe a beach or mountain cottage....but 7...SEVEN....who the hell NEEDS 7 houses and 13 vehicles???

And McCain has the nerve to call Obama elitist...seriously...SERIOUSLY?? Someone explain to me what McCain has in touch with the Middle Class folks here in NC???

(side note, don't forget to register to vote for the Presidential race before or/by Oct. 10th, that's the deadline for NC

STOP FUCKING POSTING POLITICAL THREADS

NOBODY GIVES A FUCK

GO TO THE SOAP BOX IF YOU WANT TO POST THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT

OR JUST MAKE YOUR OWN GOD DAMN THREAD AND EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO MAKE A NEW THREAD, POST IT IN THAT ONE SINGLE THREAD.

9/23/2008 12:35:40 AM

But McCain was a POW. He know struggle.

9/23/2008 12:36:28 AM

CNN just reported McCain has 13 cars, Obama has 1.

9/23/2008 12:36:30 AM

nobody needs 13 cars or 7 houses

but good for him



although his wife is really the one with the money, not him.

money does not necessarily make you successful

(it also doesn't necessarily make you an elitist)

OhBoyee, if your going to state the news atleast tell the whole story man. Michelle Obama said that she was proud of her country b/c it's the first time she's seen people be so engaged in politics, and the massive numbers in which people are registering to vote. She stated it again on the show the , "View" a few weeks ago.


But McCain's 13 vehicles...I just dont get. I have an Uncle who runs a corporation in TN, lives in a 7 bedroom house and has his own lake built named after him and he only has 3 cars...one for him/his wife and one for my cousin.....

but NO ONE here in the good ole USA can even begin to know what a typical middle class NC family goes through and own 7 homes and 13 vehicles!!

McCain may be able to spell Nascar and enjoy a BBQ sandwich from NC at a race, but what could he even discuss with one of the fans in teh stands at a NASCAR race?? There's nothing wrong with being wealthy...I applaud his wife's 'old money'....but dont you dare go out on public tv/radio/newspaper calling Obama an elitist when he probabaly has about 3-4 waiters in each of McCain's 7 homes!

Fixed it for you.

Don't hate b/c the man had the brains to marry a broad with her own means.

If I had the money I would have 7 houses and 13 vehicles too. Actually I would have hundreds of houses and would rent them out, then buy more with the rental income off the first batch, I would continue to leverage myself with more houses and then invest that money in more houses.

I would keep them all under 50% LTV and they would always make money.

If you want to make an anti-mccain thread you should be able to find something more substantave than this to do it with.

shows that he knows a man's hard-earned money should be spent on himself and not pissed away in attempts to improve the lives of others

9/23/2008 12:43:27 AM

here's my answer, mytwocents.

i never said that the super wealthy have any obligation to help out the less fortunate (i would hope they would though), and if your stats are correct i'm glad to hear that john mccain is donating his excess money to charities. i personally donate about $0 per year to charity but plan to change that when I stop living from scholarship check to student loan check.

i was trying to make the point that "attempting to improve the lives of others" should never be considered "pissing" money away.

where did i imply anything resembling socialism? i don't blame, loathe, resent, whatever, anyone who is well off financially, but 7 houses and 13 cars.... really? it's not even because it's john mccain, i mean jerry seinfeld has what like 30 cars? completely ridiculous.

i guess i'd just like to believe that no matter what the situation you're never "pissing" your money away when you try to better another person's life. maybe that's just because i'm a naiive college student who doesn't have enough real world know-how to realize that people are inherently bad and shouldn't be helped anyway?

9/23/2008 12:43:58 AM

lol first off, if i could afford 13 cars, id probably have 20


and secondly, obama isn't exactly middle class either.

9/23/2008 12:44:56 AM

^ He was at least "only" upper middle class until about when he started running for president (because he wrote a book).

You couldn't say that for any of the other presidential candidates in the past couple elections.

9/23/2008 1:04:32 AM

7 houses...
McCain 1
Obama 0

13 vehicles...
McCain 2
Obama 0

These polls are starting to tip heavily in McCain's favor.

9/23/2008 1:06:14 AM

Kerry's wife and her money were bitched about 4 years ago. I don't see how this is much different.

9/23/2008 1:09:01 AM

just a side note, and I'm not a McCain cheerleader but just so that there is no mistaking:

In 2007 McCain gave 26% of his total income to charity, and in 06, he gave 18% of his total income...what percentage did you give?

9/23/2008 1:13:42 AM

really only one car?

fuck man, that's, kinda fucking sad

9/23/2008 1:15:29 AM

^^ McCain, nor his wife made that money by working hard. She inherited it, and he married in to it.

One thing Obama has that McCain doesn't:



His own brand of chopsticks.

I don't think he actually gets any money from the sale of them though
