McCain Owns a Honda Sedan and a VW Convertible -- Despite Having Claimed to Always Buy American Cars
Advertisements [?]http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/09/21/1...
First it was his seven houses. Now, Sen. John McCain has to explain his fleet of 13 cars.
According to a Newsweek item published online today, McCain and his wife, Cindy, own more than a dozen cars, including three electric bubble-shaped cars, called GEM's that the magazine says are popular in retirement communities.
But the ones getting him into trouble are the foreign-made cars. According to the magazine, the McCains own a Honda sedan and a Volkswagen convertible -- despite having once claimed to always buy American-made cars.
In an interview with Detroit station WXYZ-TV, McCain bragged that "I've bought American literally all my life and I'm proud." That was after explaining to the anchor that his daughter, Meghan, bought her own Toyota Prius.
UAW President Ron Gettelfinger, in a conference call organized by the Democratic party, blasted McCain on Sunday for not being truthful with voters.
"When he's in the midwest, he tells voters he supports the industry," Gettelfinger told reporters. "That's really a nice campaign line. But it turns out that John McCain wasn't being straight with the people of Detroit."
Gettelfinger cast McCain as an enemy of auto workers for supporting trade deals that he said would ship jobs overseas.
"We need a president who's committed to rebuilding the auto industry in America, not a president who buys foreign cars and then falsifies the truth when he thinks auto workers aren't watching," he said.
The magazine reported that the only car in McCain's name is a Cadillac. The others are in Cindy McCain's name. Another Japanese car -- a Lexus that Cindy McCain drives with the plates 'Ms BUD' -- is registered to the beer distribution company that she heads.

Oh My God!!! I am voting for Obama now!

The more the media throws out stupid crap like that the more the undecideds are going to move to the right.

They have older kids too. How many of those cars are driven by their children? The left becomes more and more pathetic every day. :thatsright:
ETA... They have 4 kids under the age of 25. They also have houses in different areas. Why is this so hard to figure out?

Err...I think most Honda production for the US is built here, and VW is opening a new plant in Tennesee, I think, which will also build Audi and Porsche........

So the DUmmies would be unhappy with Toyotas or Hondas built in America but approve of Daewoos built in South Korea and sold as Chevy Aveos? Liberal logic at its finest. :jerkit:

But Al Gore idling an entire motorcade while giving a speech inside a buidling is okay? DUmmie logic at its finest.
