LOL!

Democrats live in fantasyland. A great love affair with celebrities, royalty, and the big patron who will magically wave a wand to rid us of our ills.

The last thing the US needs is a another spoiled brat who sees government spending as a way to grow us out of the recession.

The only fantasyland is the one that you created to make this post.

The Kennedy's are known to be a very reasonable and well liked political family.

Gee I'm glad this didn't quickly degrade into a cat fight.

I don't esp like or dislike the Kennedys, but honestly, who cares? This is like saying hey Johnny Carson's grandson is on a comedy tour or Joe Namath's grandson is going to be a college QB. So?

On the (R) side, there's the Bushes. And then there is the Udall family, both (D) and (R).

Dynasties are bad for the rest of us at large. I don't care how supposedly "qualified" they are, once you have two or more generations, you have serious problems.

We don't need a nobility by birthright in this country.

Yet, it seems that people long for royalty in any form they can get it in. They want to be ruled by an elite.

So sad indeed.
