The Republicans (especially the ones at the top) constantly talk about how poor people need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps, yet they're represented by the likes of George W. Bush, a spoiled rich kid whose father bought his way out of Vietnam and into Yale and Harvard Business School and who had the presidency handed to him on a silver platter in 2000 by his father's friends in the Supreme Court. If anything, don't you think that Bill Clinton better embodies the principle of pulling oneself up by the bootstraps? After all, he doesn't come from a wealthy family, and he actually EARNED his way to Georgetown, Oxford, and Yale Law School. Some may argue that he was a draft dodger, but at least he had a reason. He was a student, whereas Bushy Boy was able to avoid going to Vietnam simply because his dad got him into the Air National Guard, for which he didn't even bother showing up a good deal of the time.
