John McCain Owns 13 Cars »

Posted By Neophile 9 months, 2 weeks ago in Political News

When you have seven homes, that's a lot of garages to fill. After the fuss over the number of residences owned by the two presidential nominees, NEWSWEEK looked into the candidates' cars. And based on public vehicle-registration records, here's the score. John and Cindy McCain : 13. Barack and Michelle Obama : one.

    Not surprising, he is an elitist to the extreme. From 8 houses, 13 cars, some planes, $500 pair of shoes, he is so out of touch with the state of this nation that its scary. Though it explains why he thinks only people making $5mill or more a year are rich... I mean how else can one afford multiple homes, over a dozen cars, and a plane if you don't make that much right?

    Big F@cking Deal.
    The guy and his wife have 13 cars (3 of which are street legal golf carts). Besides the Lexus and the Cadillac there is 2005 Volkswagen convertible in the garage along with a 2001 Honda sedan. Otherwise, there's a 2007 half-ton Ford pickup truck, which might come in handy on the Sedona ranch; a vintage 1960 Willys Jeep; a 2008 Jeep Wrangler; a 2000 Lincoln; and a 2001 GMC SUV.
    He!! with his numerous homes this way he has something to drive and not asking for rides or can I borrow your car like Obama. Can I borrow your keys and wallet? I like a man that has his own ride in life and not take me on one. If Obama wins there is going to be change alright. The change will be in your pocket after he taxes the $hit out of you.

    It don't understand what the big fuss is about. It's not even two cars per house. Don't you want to get around when you are in any one of your houses? You wouldn't want to wait for your spouse to come home before you can leave the house either. What if she had to go to the beauty parlor at the same time when you had a golf game?

    I like this part, some more of his little white lies.

    "I've bought American literally all my life and I'm proud," McCain said in the interview with Detroit's WXYZ-TV. But the rest of his fleet is not all-American. There's a 2005 Volkswagen convertible in the garage along with a 2001 Honda sedan

    We also live in Arizona and have 11 vehicles registered and we are far from rich. It happens to be a requirement to have street worthy vehicles registered whether they are driven or not, unless they are in 'restoration' status and not visible from the street. This includes motorcycles.

    WOW! We almost have as many cars as McCain! And surprise....none of them are Ferrari's

    Lots of jealous people on here. Now if you are ripping GWB for conning Texas into financing the Rangers' stadium and walking away with $14M after investing $500K that's one thing, but from what I've seen the McCains made their money by selling products that people want. Who cares how many houses or cars they have? In fact, don't their purchases generate jobs for auto manufacturers and construction workers?

    "John and Cindy McCain : 13. Barack and Michelle Obama : one."

    So the McCains are much more successful than the Obamas. Big surprise.

    Why are none of my fellow liberals mentioning that 3 of those cars are the electric bubble cars? That is impressive that McCain had the forethought to use electric cars to help save the environment. I must give him praise for his contribution to humanity.

    Many of them are too expensive for the average person to own, let alone 3 of them.

      lovemylibs...Too FUNNY!

      Ha ha ha ha ha...

      3 electric cars of 13 gas guzzlers and you praise him for his contribution to humanity! Get the shovel.

      Now that is the funniest inane remark on this thread. I must praise you for twisting the truth into one pretty piece of bs.

      I got 8 cars. One that actually runs and is my garage. Seven that don't run setting in my front yard in Wasilla.

        Dang...... Most of these stories are moronic!

        Are you telling me that it is 'BAD' to be successful? Heck, I've got 4 autos, 2 houses, 5 cell phones on my bill. Is there something wrong here? I have worked all of my life..... terrible, I know but so has McCain. He is a workaholic. What in the world is wrong with you 'people'??

        No wonder these raving Mcain lunatics are the laughing stock of the rest of the world. They would not be able to know a good point if it fell out of the sky and hit them on the head. If the mcain camp were in the olympics they would win gold for the amount of flip flops and lies they have told over time. He has 13 cars and 7 homes and calls someone else an elitist. And this ridiculous individual is supposed to understand about 600,000 losing there jobs, And so many losing there homes. Give me a break. And by the way in a survey over 70% of all europeans would vote for obama. Mcain has the appeal of 3 month old turkey for dinner.

        I want someone to win that doesn't hate women (see McCain's voting record), who doesn't want to vote against children (again, see McCain's voting record), someone who isn't pro-rapist (see Palin's extreme Pro-life views even in cases of rape & incest), someone who doesn't poke fun of community service/organizers (b/c they are volunteering their time to help the poor/needy), someone who doesn't want to continue the horrible policies that affect the normal people (they don't call McCain McSame for nothing), someone who wants to give the wealthy even more tax cuts (again doesn't work see our economy, unemployment, deficit), someone whose Chief Economic adviser & bff doesn't call the Americans whiners & the economic problems are mental only (see value of the dollar), someone who doesn't understand the economy & says it is stable, someone who doesn't own 7-10 mansions, million dollar parking lots, 13 cars, some planes, $500 pairs of shoes (again elitists don't give a crap about regular folks), and I could go on and on. I do not want McCain/Palin that is for sure! They have the potential to be worse than Bush & Cheney (and that is scary!)
