"Proud owner of ONE house".
Don't you think buttons/t-shirts saying that provide a much more powerful and less ambiguous message of how out-of-touch McCain is with the American people?

I don't even own a house and yet I have numerous keys on my keyring; building, apartment, several for work, etc. I suspect that most American single-home owners also carry multiple keys. So, at best, the message jingling keys sends is murky.

I understand the message that we're trying to get across with this idea, but there has to be a better way.

1. I love it! And I hate the Key-Rattling idea. Bad, bad form.
Also need these shirts/buttons available:

Proud owner of ONE trailer home.

Proud renter of ONE house.

Proud renter of ONE apartment.

4. Lol. If you find one of those, do me a favor and pick one up for me too...
We'd LOVE to buy a home, but with this market? :scared:

5. One DUer (I think it was helderheid) came up with
"One House, One Spouse. Obama '08"

I've seen graphics of something that looks like a key bob with that on it. I have to say, I like it a lot better than the jangly cheap plastic keys.

9. "I Own ONE Home" is a shorter alternative. And I like...
"How nice for you John. I'm a Renter" also.

10. I want that "How nice for you John. I'm a Renter" button!

:thumbsup:

ETA: I liked the "proud" bit because it has a bit of an anti-elite sentiment about it, like your "how nice for you..." line.
