How many common people did McCain meet?

Just wondering how many common people MR. McCain met when he was here ? As I see it He only met PEOPLE that had atleast $10,000 for dinner.

Which would you rather have, McCain taking money from the rich or Obama taking money from the poor? Yeah, that's what I thought!

No I just want 4 more years of a living Bush... hell... with McBush giving massive profits to the rich, so the poor cannot pay taxes..your back sided statement for Obama's method of collecting from the poor.
You can't
talk on this forum, without supporting the sins of the rich..who are you really?

I don't know about giving profits away, nobody ever showed up at my door giving me money. But the recent numbers came out. The top 50% of wage earners pay over 97% of income taxes. The bottom 50% of wage earners pay less than 3% of total income taxes. Last time I checked, the fair thing would be for rich and poor alike to pay something. We have to stop vilifying people with wealth. I know there are exceptions, but most people who are wealthy became educated, worked, and saved. It's not as if there were no opportunities for the poor either. If a young person is of modest means, they can have most of their education paid for with grants, not loans, but grants they never have to repay. All kidding aside for the moment, while we may prefer one candidate or another......is our life really going to change no matter who is elected? The sun will rise and people will go to work every day.

Unfortunately things will be different with whomever wins!
McBush..the rich will get richer and the poorer will get poorer, as we have seen the past 8 yrs. The war will kill many thousands more of our children, and maime thousands more. The sun will rise, but many will have to live in its warmth..no fuel for heat, no environmental plan for future concerns...a life of struggle and survival!
Obama..a shot at some cash being available to people of all means. A war that we cannot afford and only helped out Haliburton and Hunt oil (Bush' buddies) for life, being dismantled! Our chidren home, unmaimed and able to live a normal life, without being dependent on the government and then being vilified by people on these forums, as scumbag, welfare, poverty,and lazy wastes! Hope for somethin,g other than an angry, hot tempered McCain, mimicking Bush's reign!

So the sun does shine differenty, when whomever takes the lead! Vote independently and smartly. If you are not filthy rich..McCain is not going to embrace you!

RITE now with these two Clowns running I would vote for Ross PEROT , you or anybody that Showed the working person that THEY ARE important and that we have to keep the people of the UNITED STATES working in good paying jobs and NOT let the rest of the world walk all over us, and sombody that believes in FAIR TRADE NOT this B.S. of FREE trade.

I feel let down and disrespected by John McCain's pit stop in Buffalo.

I just wanted to know if MR. McCain meet with ANYONE that had a NET WORTH OF LESS THAN $1,000,000 , I would say NO. so IF he was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO interested in what the avg. AMERICAN wants or needs WHY did he NOT at least talk to the avg. person on the street ? here we are in one of the POOREST CITIES in the UNITED STATES and the only people HE was willing to even talk to are the RICH people ? HELLO , POOR CITY TO MR McCAIN / yes POOR CITY TO MR McCAIN would you like to know what the poor and avg. person [ the working people , the people that pay you ] THINK and what we NEED / I guess NOT he just wanted to take 1.5 Million dollars out of an area that NEEDS it one HELL OF ALOT MORE THAN You DO.

McCain is a waste of time. He stops in Buffalo to pick up money then leaves. We need someone who will listen. Obama isn't much better.

If that's the way you feel why don't you move to Cuba or Russia or another communist or socialist country where the government tells what you can or cannot do with the little money you have because that is exactly what you're are trying to impose on those that attended the McCain fundraiser. McCain didn't come here to glad hand the public he was invited to these parties by private citizens who are willing to support him. This money did not not come out of your pocket, or the public well, so why do you care.

I am not telling anyone what they can or can not do I just wanted to know why sombody that is running for pres. of the UNITED STATES doesn't even talk to the common person and not just the rich.

I don't think it really matters who does it. IT STINKS.

Isn't it bad enough that the city, state, and federal government treats WNYers like wet washcloths to begin with, only here to be "wrung out" financially?
In a time when many of our OWN politicians seemingly ignore us and our needs, we're looking for someone, ANYONE, to actually show us that they care...even if they don't mean it.

Fake the sincerity, we're used to it...but that doesn't mean we don't like it. After all, the people around here helped launch Hillary's political career didn't they?

He talks to the people all the time. Watch the national news and you'll see it. Just because he didn't do it in Buffalo doesn't mean he never did. Would you have voted for him if he talked to you? Of course not! You wouldn't vote for Jesus Christ himself if he was a Republican (which he is by the way)! Then again if Adolph Hitler was a Democrat running you'd be first in line.

The answer is simple, perhaps too simple for even you to understand.... McCain was not here to campaign, we was INVITED her to collect campain funds... he has a long way to go to catch up to Barry's war chest containing $70 million (McCain has about $20 million.

LOOKING at this Id say the people that invited McCAIN wanted to give him some big bucks now it seems that no one gives money unless they get something for it just what do the rich want from him ??? a possability is government work in west NEW YORK to help this area Is that to far out to think about ?
