Reaction to financial difference between Biden and McMillions
... Okay so I'm slow on the up take but I have to say that I'd rather have a guy on the ticket who is only worth $24,000 than one who doesn't even know how many houses he owns.
AND to hear him try to justify it: "Well there's the condo here and another here... and then investment property." Well isn't that SPECIAL?

1. Biden might be more in debt than I am
lol. I read somewhere that he's actually about 300,000 in the hole by one estimate.

2. And the neocons are trying to spin it so hard their heads are on backward.

Justification talking points from the GOP: Well it's no sin to be successful - Successful? He married money and was born into an Admiral's family. Exactly what did he do to succeed? It surely was not from any effort he put out. From the moment of McInsane's birth, he was destined to be rich. Is being born into a wealthy aristocracy the American dream?

Well it's his wife's money - So he's a gold digger. That certainly plays better - Not. He dumped his injured wife when he got back from the Vietnamese enhanced interrogation techniques camp and found a much younger woman with a whole lot of money. That's the American dream?

For the last 28 years, McInsane has lived in the lap of luxury. Is he really in touch with the real America?

4. I tend to look at the person's attitude more than their net worth
And we all can see who favors the ordinary person, as opposed to the one who favors his rich cronies.
