Cindy McCain Dresses Fine

Wow! No wonder McCain has so many houses: his wife has the price of a Scottsdale split-level hanging from her ears.

The other day, Cindy McCain protested that she was indeed in touch with ordinary people. Why she did charity work (a kind of community organizing) and, therefore, could empathize with the downtrodden middle class.

She called Barack and Michelle Obama “elitist” which is the new buzzword for the Republican Party.

Then on Tuesday, she arrived at the Republican National Convention wearing $300,000 worth of upscale geegaws, most notably three-carat diamond earrings worth $280,000. The $3000 Oscar de la Renta dress that she wore might go to some needy lobbyist’s wife. She will keep the earrings.

Cindy’s clothes sense tell where her and her husband’s sympathies lie and it’s not with the middle class.

As a member of the middle class, I support Barack Obama because it’s obvious that people like Cindy McCain have too much money to spend. Obama supports a middle class tax break that gives 95% of working Americans a tax break of up to $1000. If there are any future tax increases to pay off the huge Bush debt, they will fall on the Cindy and John McCains.

Elitist Republicans wearing expensive diamonds and pearls will not, of course, like this. But real people will.
