Comments on: Dems seize on McCain's 13 cars http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/21/dems-seize-on-mccains-13-cars/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: blackpope808 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/21/dems-seize-on-mccains-13-cars/#comment-1775029 blackpope808 Sun, 21 Sep 2008 22:36:36 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=19688#comment-1775029 There is nothing more American than owning as many cars and houses as you can possibly afford! I am a registered Democrat and I don't have a problem with Mr. and Mrs. McCain owning however many cars and homes as they can afford. Is Mr. McCain out of touch with the American people? Well I am from Hawaii and can tell you that the school Mr. Obama attended is quite elitist and far removed from the world of the average salaried worker in Hawaii. As far as the UAW weighing in, let's face it, the UAW is equally to blame for the auto workers strife as the management of the companies the workers are employed by. If Mr. Obama's handlers had any sense they would be talking comprehensively about his plans to make these "changes" in our government and nation and CNN would be screaming for details rather than running "ticker" reports on non-issue charges.

That leaves 11 American cars that are registered to McCain. Most people own only 1 or 2 American cars or drive foreign made vehicles. Sounds to me like McCain has put his money where his mouth is when it comes to buying American. So what's the big deal? That leaves 11 American cars that are registered to McCain.

As a consumer every one has a right to expect value for the money they invest in items like cars. As an owner of GM car my experience has been dismal. Before Mr. Gettlefinger raises his finger let him insist on the UAW workers to produce quality cars. For manufacturing such poor quality automobiles, the UAW expects costly medical care even after retirement and liberal other benefits. The management of GM is more interested in pocketing money for themselves and the dealers are happy milking the customer for fixing the defects. In fact public ends up holding the bag to support the US auto industries. Noe they ask for $25 Billion in rescue package from the government. On the other hand if you buy the foreign cars, one need not worry about all these problems. I am not a supporter of McCain but it is a dumb argument to use against him.

Fact Check: Verdict: Misleading. McCain's summary ignores the fact that some of the votes were for measures to lower taxes for many Americans, while increasing them for a much smaller number of taxpayers. A nonpartisan examination also finds that the 94 total includes multiple votes on the same measures and budget votes that would not directly lead to higher taxes.

He has now stolen almost everyone of Barack Obama's lines: ie (change, enough, he just doesn't get it, wall street vs main street and it goes on and on). it's sad, an American war hero has become a bumbling puppet without a mind of his own. Americans vote for this man if you want but be prepared to deal with the consequences. I am no obama supporter and I was going to vote for John McCain, but now I realize that John does not deserve my vote. I will not allow party lines to dictate my vote, nor will I allow racism, sexism and all the other "ism" to dictate my vote. I am now searching for which one of the alternative parties to vote for.

Democrat plans to raise taxes are bad for the auto industry and the whole economy. In case the Democrats haven't heard, may brands of "foreign" cars such as Toyota, Mercedes and Honda are in fact made in the US. The fact that McCain has 13 cars is a non issue. It's also irrelevant that O'Bama owns only one car. I'm more worried about O'Bama's ties to anti-Americans Ayers and Wright and felonious slumlord Rezko. O'Bama's Socialist agenda which will destroy the economy is also a major concern. McCain's purchase of 13 cars is very good for US autoworkers and the US auto industry.

I hae no problem with the Lexus as it is a luxury car and many rich people buy high end luxury cars. Heck, even a lot of middle income folks who want to be seen as in the mix, buy high end cars. What I don't understand is how he owns 13 cars, unless you're saying that he has cars (which would make some sense) at each of his 8 houses. That is, at least 8. Now for the average charachter like me, I own a vehicle and so does my spouse. That's it. I don't know personally know anyone who, as a family, owns more than 3 vehicles. So, I can't see how Senator McCain can relate to people like me. Which is problably why he doesn't want to give me as big a tax cut as those folks who do, on avg, own more than three cars and more than two homes (which would be like McCain). Not wanting him to be an average guy in income like Biden and his wife Jill, just saying that his tax policies (and deregulation stances for the last umpteen years) seem to fit his lifestyle. Nothing wrong with that, at least for him and his cronies. Just that more than 70% of us don't fit that. In the end, the people who are towards the bottom will spend the money if you give it to them, and those who own the businesses will get it back. Lastly, does anyone realize that at the peak of the gas prices in July was also the same time that the rebate checks were showing up in the mail? Shouldn't take you long to figure out where much of that rebate money from the Feds went to. I have no problem with the Prius as it is a fuel-efficient car.

Firstly, so what if McCain has that many cars? If he can afford them, and he can afford to pay for the insurance for all of them and the registration money which goes to state government by the way, that's his right. Secondly, if several of his cars are foreign, so what? A good percentage of Americans own foreign cars, including Hondas. Seriously, that is being hypocritical because I am sure that a good percentage of people in the Democratic party own foreign cars, including Hondas. Thirdly, the article says only two of the 13 are foreign made; what about the other 11? Those must be American made if they aren't foreign cars, so what does that say? McCain has paid 11 times the money to buy American made cars as a person who has only bought one American car. This nitpicking and hairsplitting is part of the reason why McCain is not only still in the running, but has a decent chance of winning when he shouldn't . Obama and the DNC don't know how to win or run an effective campaign so they nitpick, hair split, and attack their opponent on things that don't even matter.
