When did we Americans get to the point of being such snobs?
I realize that Democrat politicians like to claim that their 'humble beginnings' ensure that they are in touch with the 'working people'. To which I usually say "Bollocks!"
Most people recognize that for what it is - hypocrisy & reverse snobbery! One is reminded of the political slogans from Soviet Russia, as in "he was proletariat, not bourgeois".
But conservatives shouldn't make apologies for anyone who may (or may not) have been born into 'big WASP money'? All that matter is if the person has anything sensible or original to contribute.
