Thanks for posting!

5. the Bush home is a joke

notice the date it was built. it was done for political purposes. i already read about how they will not live there after they leave the white house.

it's disgusting the whore media would even include that as his home. if it was any Dem candidate they would have called it out for the political prop it was.

6. DK's home, just a simple home for a man of the people.

:patriot:

7. Sharpton's house is my favorite.

followed by JK's. But I really like the fact that Dean lives so unpretentiously. And as VT doesn't have a Governor's mansion, that's where he lived throughout his tenure as guv- and still lives.
