Wasn't Abe Lincoln dirt poor? And Clinton wasn't rich.

Lincoln was back in the early days; and clinton wasn't poor.

But Clinton wasn't born rich. Neither was Nixon, who came from a very humble upbringing as far as I know. You said you have to be born rich to become president. I was just showing that you don't have to be.

well, it's gotten to the point as to where you have to have a good deal of money.
--- End quote ---
I'm not doubting that you'd need a whole hell of a lot of money to run for president, or at least your party would have to have it, but that doesn't mean you have to be born rich. It means you have to to what your told, keep your mouth shut on certain things, and know how to bullshit the masses.

how so?
--- End quote ---
Because now I have to listen to assholes like I Want My Donation Back ranting about how more black people need to be like them. White folks ask me all the time how I put up with the "lowlifes" I grew up with. They seem to think that just because I'm educated and because I've been called a "sellout" in my life, I'm automatically going to agree with them. The thing is, I'm not about to forget where I came from, or the fact that they would have gladly let me rot in there.
And yes, BTW, it doesn't matter to me whether you're black and you vote Democrat or Republican...if you're giving the crackers a certain limited view of the black experience that contributes to their racist beliefs, you're a sellout. For this reason, 50 Cent is as much of a sellout as Condi and Colin.
