Rich Choices in November (Kerryopoly)

[kskiska]

"Most Americans can't afford yachts, private planes, thousand dollar haircuts or homes in Nantucket," Republican National Committee spokesman Jim Dyke said in a news release announcing a new video game on the RNC Web site. The game is called Kerryopoly. It's similar to Monopoly, but the properties belong to the Kerry family.

It's a curious line of attack. The logic of Dyke's statement would seem to suggest that most Americans can afford mansions on hundreds of acres in Texas and are fortunate enough to receive retirement or severance packages worth tens of millions of dollars, as Vice President Cheney and some members of the Bush cabinet did when they left private industry to join the government.

Asked what the point of this game was, RNC spokeswoman Christine Iverson said this was just the latest of four or five Web games the RNC has put on its Web site poking fun at Kerry. The most popular one so far was called Kerry vs. Kerry, which highlights the candidate's purported flip-flops on various issues over the years.

"Kerryopoly is yet another way to familiarize voters with John Kerry," she said. "It's interactive and a little more light-hearted."

But if most voters can't identify with Kerry's wealth, can they identify with Bush and Cheney's? "I'm happy with what I just told you," she said.

1. The Bush game has only one card in the pile

"Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200"

2. this amazes me considering all the money in the repubs hands

just for ads.......

They continue to call the other guy what they are...only they are it worse.....

Bush bought 660 areas......and spends most of his presidency there or somewhere else on vacation....or a boondoggle.....

They are really jealous of Teresa....she is a class act......

3. How about a game for Bush ? " Failure "

Follow Dubya through the years from one failure to another. See him get bailed out by his relatives and his father's rich friends. The problem is we don't know how his latest failure is going to turn out. I don't think even his father's rich friends can get us out of this mess.
