Benjie, Your working class hero synopsis doesn’t fly particularly when it comes to Bush vs. the democratic Bigs.
What caused Bush to bond with the rescue workers at the World Trade Center was he has some regular guy/ working class in him. If you’ve ever been to Midland/ Odessa Texas; it is as working class as it gets. Bush scrapped there in the oil industry. Contrary to the liberal stereotyping, oilmen aren’t all fat cats smoking stogies in Dallas. The roustabouts and wildcat drillers in Odessa are real salt of the earth guys.
Contrast that with the Dems. Have Obama and Biden ever held a real job? Johnnie Edwards when he wasn’t shagging the New Age goofball was talking about his mill roots in a 50000 square foot house. Both Clintons were nothing but grifters,lawyers and politicians. Kerry a toy boy for two rich widows.
Sarah Palin and her husband are real middle class Americans not elitists lauding the lumpenproletariat.
