Rambi, you're the one who claimed you had no dog in the fight and now you say your dog is facts. In fact, in one post, you said two contradictory things. It's probably that kind of loose, stream of consciousness language that gets you into frustrating positions. Your response to my initial post was: "I really haven't anything to say to that post. It would be pointless given your obvious mindset." What exactly was my "obvious mindset"? If you want to toss out little hand grenades like that one, you need to be better prepared to engage in a real discussion. Petulance is not objectivity.

If we're looking at facts, Caroline Kennedy co-wrote two books on civil liberties with Ellen Alderman. Both books list Ellen Alderman as the first author. How much Ms. Kennedy actually wrote is an open question. Ellen Alderman could have been using the Kennedy name to get published and drive book sales. When you have millions given to you, all kinds of things ordinary people struggle to accomplish can be made to happen effortlessly. Besides, millions of people have published books, does that make them qualified to be Senator? Sarah Palin was elected Mayor and Governor. She wasn't "handed' anything. Sarah Palin began with almost nothing and accomplished what she has through hard work, spirit and a willingness to serve others by working for them in government. She put herself in new and challenging situations throughout her adult life Caroline Kennedy is a Debutant. Her appointment to the Senate is nepotism pure and simple. What has she really accomplished on her own to warrant appointment as a United States Senator, besides giving millions to the Democrat party? Millions she inherited and never earned on her own.
