Disposal Cars

Filed in National by on October 19, 2008

Even when McCain tries to tell a nice little story meant to humanize him and his family, he reveals his elitism and uber wealthy background that is out of touch with everyday America:

Presidential candidate John McCain has taken a lot of criticism from his Democratic opponent about the number of houses and foreign cars he owns. But that didn’t stop the Republican from telling a story Thursday in Downingtown, Pa., about his 96-year-old mother, Roberta McCain, and her car experience overseas.

“Two Christmases ago, my mother wanted to drive around in France,” he told the crowd. “She wanted to rent a car, but they told her she was too old. So she bought a car.”

The McCain family is so freaking rich that his mother could just buy a car in a foreign country and leave it there like a disposal camera after she is finished using it.    Add that to the fact that not many middle class American families can now celebrate Christmas in France.

    I can’t get over what a stupid bunch of gullible losers middle class Republicans are.

    She might have had it shipped back.

    Once, in Germany, I bought a child seat (rather than transport it in the plane). Does that count? Can I be an elitist now?

    God, people who achieve the American dream suck. When did being wealthy become shameful? If you hit the lottery or get a fat inheritance from a rich aunt, should you automatically become a target of scorn?

    No, Dom. But you don’t get to play the “I’m an average guy” card while calling your opponent an elitist. Something about seven glass houses…

    Don’t worry Dom. 2012 is right around the corner. You can give up on McCain now. We promise not to give you the business.
