Is there a difference in the role"BIG MONEY" plays in Repug & Dem Politics
If Dems had all the money in the world...wouldn't they be the "big guys on the block" and not the Repugs? Is it because we don't have unlimited funds like Jack Kennedy had that we can't fight back?

After all...most of us really respect the guy/gal who has "MADE IT" and we think they are "kinda cool" even if we Dems don't want to admit it. We kinda like to be witht he "In Crowd."

Sadly Jack Kennedy was the "last" of the "in crowd" for us Dems. We ended up with "Billy Bobs" like Carter and Clinton from the South or the
Southwest.

Why is it that Americans only want Actors and Crooks for California like Reagan and Nixon or charletans like the "Old Money Bush Crowd?"

What's wrong with us? We keep picking folks who "screw us" or "screw our minds up." :-(

1. Many Americans naively think they are nearer the upper crest
than they are. They also seem to think that one day they too will arrive.
