Why is McCain getting a free pass?
I have noticed that there was something said at the debate that has gotten no response from MSM or anyone else. During the debate, when the discussion was on paying taxes, McCain said (with a smug grin) "You should hear what he (Obama) thinks constitutes someone as being wealthy". We all know that McCain was referencing the amount of $250,000 that Obama uses as the drawing line for people who need to pay more taxes. My point is that McCain thinks that people who make the "paltry" sum of $250,000 are not considered wealthy by his standards. This is just another example of McCain being out of touch with the middle class. So why has this been ignored by the campaign?:spank:

2. White Privilege
