Priceless

 

Dear Friends,   I have some serious questions for you: Have you ever forgotten how many houses your family owns? Have you ever worn $500 imported leather moccasins to an outdoor country music concert? Have you ever thought to yourself, 'You know, the only way to get around these days is by private jet'...? Of course, not. Only John McCain has.   In an interview published yesterday in the Politico, John McCain was asked how many houses he owned. His answer? "I'll have my staff get to you" - apparently, too many to keep track.   The real answer? The McCain family owns at least eight different homes, worth more than $13 million dollars. Can you say "out of touch?"   Today, the Florida Democratic Party is launching "Priceless," a new web video that highlights the fact that John McCain is just as out of touch with Americans as President Bush is. On the same day that he couldn't remember how many homes he owns, McCain said, "the fundamentals of our economy are strong." Maybe for George Bush, John McCain and their oil company cronies. Only someone who owns eight homes, flies around on his private jet, and wears fancy $520 European leather shoes can believe the economy is strong right now. You and I know it's tough these days, but the Party continues to need the resources to compete and win on Election Day. If you can spare $25, $50 or $100 today, click here to donate: https://secure.fladems.com/page/contribute/ McCain has said in the past, "The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should." But he added, "I've got Greenspan's book." Maybe now he will read that book because he still doesn't understand that Florida's economy is suffering. When I look around Florida, I see the first recession in 16 years, nearly 100,000 Floridians who have lost their jobs and a record number of families losing their homes to foreclosures. Unfortunately, John McCain's only solution is to embrace George Bush and propose the same failed economic policies that got us into this mess. We can't continue down this road. The Republicans are trying to change the subject with their smears, deceitful attacks and outright lies. We need to elect Barack Obama and Democrats up and down the ticket so we can change the way our government operates. Your Party needs the resources to fight back, so click here to contribute what you can to the Florida Democratic Party today.   Sincerely,   Congresswoman Karen L. Thurman Chair, Florida Democratic Party   P.S. Send this video to ten friends to spread the message that John McCain is not the man of the people he'd like you to think he is.
