I can't seem to remember where I read this, or which RNC operative said it, but yesterday I read something along the lines of "Edwards might not be the son of a millionaire, but he's the father of one" to try to debunk his legit working-class upbringing. This raises an interesting question: are the Republicans saying that it's only OK to be the father of a millionaire if you were born one? Or is it that actually working your way out of poverty isn't something they're down with? Hard to reconcile that with all the welfare queen bashing.
So which is it: stay poor or get rich? DB
