McCain's Disconnect
By Robert Greenwald
John McCain is soaring to new heights of hypocrisy on his wife's personal jet. He flies around the country bent on duping the public into believing he's "one of them," a regular guy who can empathize with Americans facing an overwhelming economic crush. What's more, he disparages those who oppose his ridiculous policy proposals as "elitist." But who's the real elitist?
The REAL McCain is a multimillionaire who owns ten luxurious homes. The REAL McCain backs President Bush's tax cuts for big corporations. The REAL McCain empathizes only with the interests of our nation's wealthy minority, not its money-strapped majority. But far too many are buying into McCain's deceit because the corporate press won't present the whole picture, so we created this video to educate the public about the REAL McCain.
As Frank Rich noted in his recent NY Times column, 40% of Americans hear too little about McCain from the mainstream media, meaning "the public doesn't know who on earth John McCain is.
AFL-CIO President John Sweeney summed it up best when he said McCain "simply doesn't understand the challenges America's working families are facing because he isn't remotely affected by them." It's up to us to tell people who McCain really is, a jet-setting elitist more concerned with corporate lobbyists than hard-working Americans.

The McCain camp's excuse for this is that McCain was a POW. Just how this is relevant escapes me unless they mean that the torturing of him turned his brain to mush. If that's the case, do we want him as president? Oh, sorry, I guess it would be unfair to hold a mushy brain against him if he got it by being a POW.
