How about Cindy McCain wearing the monetary equivalent of a multi-story house in Ruston? That's not elitist, no-no.. She's earned it, so why can't she flaunt it? (Wait that's being an elitist, right?)
Haha, there is a disclaimer that almost every price was estimated.. I wonder how accurate those figures are..

There is a vast difference between being "rich" and being an "elitest."
I'm an asshole! What's your excuse?
So rich people don't know how many houses their family owns, strut around lugging 280K+ earrings, and think being 'rich' starts off at an income of 5 Mil? No, doesn't sound elitist to me at all!
Didnt you know that Obama, who's always made below $300k/yr as a salary, and who has worked with the poorest of the poor in south central Chicago, is the elitist? DUUUHOriginally Posted by Yarfunkle

Private plane, $300k outfits, a dozen houses, 9 car escort to Starbucks = not elitist
Community organizer among the poor = LIBERAL ELITISTS

You two would then say that Sam Walton was an elitist because he had so much money.
Obama and his campaign has made many dumb comments that make me believe they are elitists. Such as, Obama's comment about how small town folks cling to their religin and guns, Obama's campaign manager disregarding Palin's experience as mayor of a small city (America is made up of tons of small cities, they arent all made up of dumbasses as Obama's campaign backhandedly implies). Obama is an intellectual elitist, most people running for prez probably are. Hell, you nearly have to believe you are to think you can manage a country this complex. One thing you cant do is walk around and wear it smugly like he does.
riiiiiiight
One, they arent mocking small cities, they are mocking McCain's claim that being mayor of a small city is some kind of magical experience that makes you the most qualified candidate instead of one who is completely unqualified and inept. However, that didnt stop the Republicans from acting like they were mocking small cities.
Two... gee, I couldve sworn it was the Republicans who outright mocked community organizers? Including an entire arena laughing and laughing at the idea that a community organizer does anything. How is that not out of touch and elitist?

You keep implying that leading a small town or "small" state carries less weight than being a community organizer, a state senator, a US senator or "running" a Presidential campaign. You're wrong. You really look foolish continuing to try to make these arguments
And you're exagerrating the "mocking" (no surprise). The laughter was because of the ludicrous argument that a being a community organizer makes you qualified to be POTUS.
If they want to bring up what Obama was doing 20 years ago as why he isn't qualified, then are you sure you want a sportscaster/fisher-person (gotta be PC) as vice president?

In the post you responded to, I wrote, "community organizer, a state senator, a US senator or "running" a Presidential campaign"
I've been doing some research lately, and I'm starting to lean towards the left on this one.. McCain just stinks Bush IMO. But gj on finding that week or two old post!
that original post is not atypical of a lefty who starts out hiding their true position, "I'm a moderate, but...."
You started off saying you're a moderate and have posted nothing but left positions. You should have been honest from the get-go.
surprise, surprise
Why Obama's "Community Organizer" Days Are a Joke
By Michelle Malkin
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/art...organizer.html
Let me clarify something. Nobody is mocking community organizers in church basements and community centers across the country working to improve their neighbors' lives. What deserves ridicule is the notion that Obama's brief stint as a South Side rabble-rouser for tax-subsidized, partisan nonprofits qualifies as executive experience you can believe in.
What deserves derision is "community organizing" that relies on a community of homeless people and ex-cons to organize for the purpose of registering dead people to vote, shaking down corporations and using the race card as a bludgeon.
As I've reported previously, Obama's community organizing days involved training grievance-mongers from the far-left ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). The ACORN mob is infamous for its bully tactics (which they dub "direct actions"); Obama supporters have recounted his role in organizing an ambush on a government planning meeting about a landfill project opposed by Chicago's minority lobbies.
With benefactors like Obama in office, ACORN has milked nearly four decades of government subsidies to prop up chapters that promote the welfare state and undermine the free market, as well as some that have been implicated in perpetuating illegal immigration and voter fraud. Since I last detailed ACORN's illicit activities in this column in June (see "The ACORN Obama knows," June 19, 2008), the group continues to garner scrutiny from law enforcement:
Last week, Milwaukee's top election official announced plans to seek criminal investigations of 37 ACORN employees accused of offering gifts to sign up voters (including prepaid gas cards and restaurant cards) or falsifying driver's license numbers, Social Security numbers or other information on voter registration cards.
Last month, a New Mexico TV station reported on the child rapists, drug offenders and forgery convicts on ACORN's payroll. In July, Pennsylvania investigators asked the public for help in locating a fugitive named Luis R. Torres-Serrano, who is accused "of submitting more than 100 fraudulent voter registration forms he collected on behalf of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now to county election officials." Also in July, a massive, nearly $1 million embezzlement scheme by top ACORN officials was exposed.
ACORN's political arm endorsed Obama in February and has ramped up efforts to register voters across the country. In the meantime, completely ignored by the mainstream commentariat and clean-election crusaders, the Obama campaign admitted failing to report $800,000 in campaign payments to ACORN. They were disguised as payments to a front group called "Citizen Services, Inc." for "advance work."
Jim Terry, an official from the Consumer Rights League, a watchdog group that monitors ACORN, noted: "ACORN has a long and sordid history of employing convoluted Enron-style accounting to illegally use taxpayer funds for their own political gain. Now it looks like ACORN is using the same type of convoluted accounting scheme for Obama's political gain." With a wave of his magic wand, Obama amended his FEC forms to change the "advance work" to "get-out-the-vote" work.
Now, don't you dare challenge his commitment to following tax and election laws. And don't you even think of entertaining the possibility that The One exploited a nonprofit supposedly focused on helping low-income people for political gain.
He was just "organizing" his "community." Guffaw.
