-As I've stated before, I'm a political independant.
-I agree that BB's comment was a little on the clever side, ...but I don't agree that it was classy. I particularly don't care what a president's spouse thinks. I didn't vote for them or their opinions.
-I agree with Palin's reference to the Bushes as Blue Bloods, ..too bad though that Palin isn't a little more articulate. She has the right instincts but not the right articulation. Obama has all the wrong instincts, but has the shyter's gift of jive.
-As an independent who was orginally a democrat, then a Raegan republican, and now an independent, ..the charge of "blue blood" resonates with me. As a yung man from a working class democrat family, republicans were the rich "blue blood" factory owners who paid the workers little and kept most of teh money for themselves and their cronies. It was dem kids that fought wars and played football, while blue blood kids played squash and dodged the draft. Of course as you grow older, you learn more. What's that old saying? --If you're 20 and not a democrat, you have no heart; if you're 40 and not a republican you have nno brain!
-But the chagre of blue blood still resonates in this soul. As much as I like Bush senior for all he was and all he has done, when Palin used "blue bloods," silently I said, "right on!" ...there are a lot of us who think that way ...and, God willing, we will be voting in 2012
