Anyone care for a game of Kerryopoly?

RNC Offers Kerryopoly Game

The Republican National Committee said today it is helping John Kerry introduce himself to voters by playing Kerryopoly, the new Web game that's sweeping the nation. More than 460,000 games of Kerryopoly have already been played. With a roll of the electronic dice, players can land on properties like Nantucket, worth $9.18 million, Beacon Hill, worth $6.9 million or Idaho, worth $4.9 million. Players may also land on squares for John Kerry's $1,000 haircut or his $5,000 bicycle.

Each player starts the game with $40,000 in Kerryopoly money, the average national household income. The goal is to make it around the board with as little debt as possible, meaning players must try to avoid landing on pricey properties such as Kerry's Georgetown home, worth $4.7 million, or the space for the Scaramouche, Kerry's $700,000 yacht.

"Most Americans can't afford yachts, private planes, thousand-dollar haircuts or homes in Nantucket. But they can when they play Kerryopoly. With a roll of the dice, Americans can find out how much John Kerry's proposals to increase the gas tax would cost them, or how much they would have to pay to have a John Kerry haircut," said RNC Communications Director Jim ****.

"After a few trips around the board, most players will be millions of dollars in debt, proving that John Kerry's lifestyle is out of reach and out of sync with most Americans," **** said.

I agree completely with this Administration’s goal of a regime change in Iraq-John Kerry
even if that enforcement is mostly at the hands of the United States, a right we retain even if the Security Council fails to act-John Kerry
He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry
