Joe Biden Won't Forget the Number of Houses He Owns »
Posted By bluetexasvalley 1 year, 2 months ago in NewsJohn McCain got right on the edge of class warfare language along the lines that his pal (though resigned from the campaign) and potential Treasury Secretary Phil Graham(sic) did when the former Texas Senator accused Americans of being a " nation of whiners ".

In recent days, John McCain has said that the folks he considers rich are the ones with assets of more than $5 million. And he also apparently has forgotten the number of houses he owns.

Compare this to Joe Biden who in 2005 was ranked 99th out of 100 senators in terms of personal wealth.
And amazingly in 2006, Open Secrets lists Biden as 108th out of all US Senators (i.e., negative 8! How did he do that?) with a near negative value on total income and assets.
Biden has not enriched himself through marriage, book deals, land swaps, or even betting on Intrade.-

bluetexasvalley, sorry to burst your bubble about Biden, but when he was head of the Judiciary Committee, he received $27 MILLION DOLLARS from ungodly lawyers for work never completed. Check it out for yourself!

Second, Biden has run for President SEVERAL times and NO ONE whether they are Republicans or Democrats want this man to be President. HE definitely has had some SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS including 2 BRAIN ANURYSMS (sp?) and you hypocrites keep talking about John McCain's age.....what about Biden's? Biden is 65 years old!!!
Biden even said in one of his debates with Obama that OBAMA was not qualified to be president. (There couldn't be MORE TRUTH to that statement!!!) Also, you should know that Obama had a chance for a DREAM TICKET, and instead, he picks a guy who also likes John McCain and said, "I would be honored to serve with my friend, JOHN McCAIN". This pick just proves that all the pundits and all the people who said OBAMA doesn't have the experience in National Security to be President, were right on!!
Another thing, HE could have picked HILLARY CLINTON and had the DREAM TICKET and possibly a SURE WIN, but instead, he chooses Biden who received only 9,500 votes......compared to Clinton's 18 MILLION votes!!! DUMB!!!
And, one last thing......your last statement is totally UNTRUE! HE has been paid UNDER THE TABLE by elitist LAWYERS while serving as head of the JUDICIARY COMMITTEE and paid well....I might add. I think 27 MILLION DOLLARS is a good day for a crook.....don't you? ROFLMAO!
DEMOCRATIC PARTY UNITY???? ROFLOL! NOT HARDLY! There is a group who goes by the name of "Democratic Party Unity My A$$" who have vowed to be in Denver to voice their opinion! I won't be watching all the lies of the convention.....but watch out for the ROLL CALL VOTE! Hillary could be DRAFTED!!!
WHAT A COUNTRY!!!! Dems ALWAYS shoot themselves in the foot when it comes to winning!!!
Gee, pick a man who can win nothing NO STATES for OBAMA come NOVEMBER, or pick a WOMAN who has 18,000 MILLION votes, carried TEXAS, OHIO, PA, and more.....and OBAMA of course, picks a man who has been in congress since 1972...(gee, wasn't OBAMA saying he was for CHANGE and that John McCain was part of the problem in Washington, D.C. because he had been in the Congress so long? McCain didn't win his seat in the Congress til 1983! CHANGE? Nope! Just another LYING LIBERAL POLITICIAN!!!)
Way to go, Obama.....way to go! NOT!!! hahaha!!! -

Ah yes, the “memory” question.
Reply
Biden may know how many houses he owns but apparently does not know how many collage degrees he has or where his standing was at graduation!
''I think I have a much higher I.Q. than you do," Biden responded.
Claimed: ''ended up in the top half'' of his class
Fact: Biden acknowledged that he graduated 76th in a class of 85
the product of a faulty memory
Claimed: ''graduated with three degrees from college"
Fact: He graduated with one degree -- a B.A. -- in two majors, history and political science.
the product of a faulty memory
Campaigning for president in New Hampshire in 1987, Biden admitted he had misstated several facts about his resume after a man named Frank questioned his Syracuse Law School resume.
the product of a faulty memory
But the Delaware Democrat insisted today, as he had Sunday night in an interview with The New York Times, that some of the disputed statements were true and that his misstatements were the product of a faulty memory and the fact that he lost his temper
the product of a faulty memory

Biden is a good choice. He's experienced but not senile, he's got a lot of positives.

I noticed McCain's personal income (separate from his wife's) was 4 million last year.
Now you know why 5 million was the number he picked as being "rich". Incidentally he has 9 houses on seven properties for all those struggling to keep one. Or worse all of those who were foreclosed on.-

His income may have been 4 mil, but his worth is more like 40 mil, big diff, but he doesn't seem to realize that, among thousands of other things he doesn't realize either.

I agree, all those homes, he can't keep count, then is so out of touch with the economy that he says "the reason people are losing their homes is because they are irresponsible".. COLD HEARTED and out of touch is putting it mildly. -

Radiofreeeuropa, McCain is NOT senile. McCain IS however, something you nor BIDEN, nor OBAMA will ever be and that is an AMERICAN HERO who LOVES THIS COUNTRY and would give HIS LIFE FOR IT!

Now, about the houses, the reason McCain struggled with the answer wasn't because he did not know. It was because MOST if not ALL of these properties are in a TRUST in CINDY McCAIN's name and he would have to had explain all that to the news media and they would have printed out tons of lies afterwards.....so, he knows what houses they have......it is really NONE of your business. However, AT LEAST, his houses were purchased LEGALLY unlike BARACK HUSSAIN OBAMA's who owns a $4 Million Mansion in Chicago and didn't have the money to purchase all the land, so he made a deal under the table with now CONVICTED FELON, TONY REZKO!! Now, who would you RATHER trust this country to? A man who deals underhandly with a known FELON, or a man who pays for his house(s). By the way, HE and Cindy McCain have NEVER been foreclosed on. I know you wish it was true, but hon, it just isn't true.
One other thing, when McCain answered laughingly, what makes one rich and he replied...5 Million Dollars...he was JOKING! Something you dems don't get. McCain said there would probably be an add come out from the other side saying he said 5 million dollars makes you rich. LOL!
Then, he answered seriously, "family, good friends; good health; and freedom to choose and freedom living in America, the greatest nation in the world. THAT was HIS final answer! Sometimes, you dems are Anal Retentive, aren't you? Sheesh!
McCain and his wife have never had a house forclosed on. The houses they own are a result of Cindy McCain's inheritance! They are in TRUST! No foreclosures! Check it out.
Obama has a $4 Million Mansion in Chicago and entered into a under the table illegal land deal with now convicted felon, Tony Rezko! Gee, wonder why the Obama people want to keep Rezko out of the picture? Humm?

A plague on all your houses. Your political system is of the 18th century and is not adequate for the 21st. In the UK the electoral process lasts 3 weeks and yours: 3 years ? This means that the system is corrupted by monies laid out in expectation of largesse in the subsequent Congress and Administration.
