Mornin' Wncs, I'll take a stap at that question for rigsy for $200.00 please.
With all of her experience as a mother, school fund raising and her *deep political ties* Caroline Kennedy is asking Clinton for the appointment. In other words, she is wanting it handed to her. Why? Why not run for office and get ELECTED. Why even ask for an appointment to a seat, when voting should be the only way one holds a public office? (Appointment to me is more like a Monarchy) Her bloodline shouldn't excuse her from having to run for office and her experience as a mother, community volunteering and Kennedy bloodline doesn't quailify her for the job. The Dems nailed Palin to the cross for using her experience as a mother and school volunteer as part of her resume`. Why does Caroline Kennedy get a free pass from the Dems? :o) On Dec 29, 8:06 am, wncs <[email protected]> wrote: > Let's apply your standards to another president, shall we?
