Just because Caroline hasn't been flouncing around in the spotlight doesn't mean she hasn't been working for the good of New Yorkers, especially when it comes to education.
As for you comment on Palin being possibly the best president we would have had, trust me you'll never know. She will never be elected. The core she appeals to is a very small minority of the extreme right Republicans. She doesn't have a prayer in hell of ever becoming elected.  |
I don't know how being independently wealthy, therefor able to pursue Daddy Joe's ambitions of politics that he couldn't archive, can be considered not sitting back on their trust fund. JFK had so much money because of that trust fund that he didn't NEED the Presidential salary. Looks good when your rich and forgo income that you don't need.
How sad that you, obliviously of the Democratic left elite, feel comfortable putting down a mere mortal woman, for being a common American. No rich kid degree for her! No wealthy family to support and direct her to politics. She had to do it the old fashioned way, work hard, feel the calling to serve the public and actually not have the class of the Kennedy's. She couldn't possibly be good enough to be VP, not good enough, right?
