Just want to say that I’m a big fan of capitalism, especially of the crony species. America was built in backrooms and boardrooms. We Americans are a social bunch. We like to help our friends when we can. I like W more not less because he’s connected.

Let’s face it. W, Cheney, Kerry, and Edwards are rich as hell. More power to ‘em. The Log Cabin spiel worked for Honest Abe becasue it happened to be true, but none of the current candidates are “just like us,” and you know what? We don’t want them to be. We want to be more like them–rich! The Breck girl’s two America’s clap trap won’t sell outside the far left. Most of those Depression era dirt farmers now drive SUVs.

Sure the Great Communicator could talk to us like he was back home in Dixon, but no one ever forgot that he was a movie star with a mansion in Bel Aire.
