thinkprogress.org — Sen. John McCain was asked to define where ?you move from middle class to rich? McCain reflexively joked, ?How about $5 million?? He then added that ?it doesn?t matter really what my definition of rich is.? Noting that ?McCain?s answer is just profoundly out-of-touch,? Ezra Klein put together a graph showing just how off-base McCain?s definition is

So heres the full quote "How about $5 million? No, but seriously, I don’t think you can, I don’t think seriously that the point is I’m trying to make, seriously, and I’m sure that comment will be distorted but the point is…that we want to keep people’s taxes low, and increase revenues. … So, it doesn’t matter really what my definition of rich is"So maybe they want to clip the "No, but seriously, because Mccain was joking at that number. Same old democrats as usual!The only real thing democrats can get him on this, is avoiding the answer but lies and things out of context are what libtards want most.

You should read the entire interview, genius. Obama's answer was pathetic... McCain went on to say he didn't want to take ANYONE'S money.

So, cutting spending is throwing billions of dollars into Iraq every year?That is McCain's idea of cutting spending? McCain's will cut spending like Bush cut spending. /sarcasm.
