Sharpton said he disagrees with those who say she isn't qualified to be U.S. senator.

Oh come on now people. She's qualified because her last name is "Kennedy".

Not quite the Messiah now, but certainly one of the apostles.

Her aspiration is symptomatic of what's wrong with today's America.

A sober electorate would reject her presumptions and tell her to earn her way.

How about they just go pick some joe schmoe off the street.  Couldn't do any worse than his predecessors.  Hell for all I care it could be a jane schmoe.

The more corruption the more the masses will want people "too rich to cheat."

But it makes sense given that we are re-feudalizing America and the world.  Divine right of kings is no problem.

Based on some current and past federally elected politicians, the only qualification needed is a pulse. Looking through recent history, I would conclude that Caroline is over-qualified, relative to some of her presumptive peers.

I don't think there is such a thing.  Someone with the character to lie and cheat will do so no matter their situation.

Excuse me for a second, this is not directed at anyone at APS, but America as a whole:

/RANT ON

/Rant off

Well, maybe Caroline K., in the interest of openness, will divulge some information about those Fiji-baesd trusts where I hear the Kennedys hide their lucre.

This country was founded on the idea of rejecting kings and nobles.  Some of us remember that.
