What your about 2 read are comments that many of us are already thinking, but have yet 2 say. When I read it, it summed up John McCain and the Republican party in a nutshell. Read Schumer's comments below:
“It’s John McCain who wears $500 shoes, has six houses, and comes from one of the richest families in his state,” Schumer said. “It’s Barack Obama who climbed up the hard way, and that’s why he wants middle-class tax cuts and better schools for our kids.”
I don’t much care that McCain became extremely wealthy thanks to his second wife’s family fortune. I don’t care about his Armani clothes, his multiple luxurious homes, his wife’s private jet, or his Black Centurion American Express card. I don’t even care that he pays for Italian leather loafers what a lot of Americans struggle to pay in rent.
But I do care that he a) is running ads about how “tough” things are “for the rest of us,” as if he can relate to working-families’ pain; and b) is trying desperately to con Americans into thinking that regressive, Bush-like economic policies — the ones that created this mess — are the way to improve the national economy.
“For the rest of us times are tough,” but John McCain has opposed raising the minimum wage.
“For the rest of us times are tough,” but John McCain opposes universal healthcare.
“For the rest of us times are tough,” but John McCain has embraced ExxonMobil’s energy policy.
“For the rest of us times are tough,” but John McCain wants more tax cuts for millionaires, and hopes some of it trickles down to the rest of us.
“For the rest of us times are tough,” but John McCain cares more about celebrities and tire gauges than anything even resembling a coherent economic policy.
The idiocy radiating from the McCain campaign is, quite literally, disgraceful. If McCain is capable of shame, now would be a good time for it.
And my friends....in a nutshell that describes our current presumptive Republican nominee!
