Do liberals deserve what they get?

Badnarik MAY still get 1 electoral vote by chance.

It's pretty pathetic to hear Democrats talking about exploiting anyone.

Which candidate was telling old people his opponent wanted to privitize social security? Which candidate was saying his opponent wanted to bring back the draft?

Marriage and abortion are important issues.

And what party ran an ad of the president pushing old people in wheelchairs over a cliff. What party claims that Bush is going to repeal the Civil Rights Act?

Not many Americans, whether in the ghetto or on main street are in true deep deep poverty meaning they have 0$. Even the poorest Americans own at least one television or vehicle.

America loves the Henri Ford story of a poor who became rich.
The matter of the fact is that millions of people did exactly what H.Ford  had done, but they never became H.Ford  and no one know their names. These people are the vast majority, while the Fords are the tiny-but-famous minority.

Shira,

My family came over here dirt poor. Although we aren't millionaires we have improved our lifes tenfold as compared to what life was like in the various countries my family came from. (Austria, Palestine, Lebanon, Ireland)

I'm going to point out that neith Bush or Kerry were born into a "superrich" family.  Well off, yes, but not on the levels of the Mellons, Duponts, Annenburgs (now), Gates (now), Waltons (now), Rockefellers, or Kennedys.  Where they lower upper class or upper middle class, in terms of wealth?  Yes, but they were not people were even in the top levels of wealth.

Not superrich but certainly "old money" and well-connected.  W's granddaddy Prescott was a US Senator.

Very few of our presidents haven't come from old money.
