"Kerry isn't rich." Doesn't necessarily derive from the premise. However, Kerry probably didn't use connections to get into the Navy. Or assigned to a swift boat. Nor did he use family contacts to to bail out his failing businesses. He probably didn't have to rely on his father being vice president when he sold his stock without filing with the SEC.

Yes, its the politics of the rich and privileged in this country. Its speaks to the heart of the objections against Bush. Not only is he the product of overt pampering and privilege but he reminds us of it as often as he can. And he's managed to suck in many of you who will never be so rich or pampered or privileged. All because of tax cuts! You're right, of course. Kerry isn't rich. And he barely has enough influence to get a misplaced fire hydrant moved. Golly. Wow, what a screwin' surprise! Kerry's rich? Who told you, o wise one? Just remember there's a difference between being rich and being pampered. Its the difference between Chelsea Clinton. and Barbara Bush. Kerry got A's at Yale; he fought in Vietnam; he has fought for the rights of all Americans. His parents did not spoil him and pave the way by getting him free entry into Yale, the NG and Harvard. Like I've said, Kerry's and Bush's resumes say it all. Bush was best suited to be an owner of the TX Rangers. Too bad he overreached..............unfortunately, we are and will pay the price. There is no contest and it galls you. There is class and then there is jr. Deal with it!
