But Palin also didn't grow up rolling in dough but she couldnt' POSSIBLY know about the plight of the middle class because she makes good money now... and she also has every right to be successful. That was the point of my post so I figured if you were responding to it that you meant that he knows about the lower middle class because he has been there and Sarah Palin hasn't.

Sorry if responding to your post meant I was slapping you with a label lol
No, lol. Sorry, I should have just taken out what I wasn't referring to (I will edit my post to reflect such! ). Just cause I didn't make a comment about one doesn't mean I was implying something about them. Palin must be a hard worker to live in Alaska! I've had relatives live there and know it's not easy!

Not so much a label, lol, I just felt like I was being pinned to one side of the argument. All I was trying to do was make a casual observation! *hand shake*

There are advantages, drawbacks, and all sorts of things to both, I am sure. I know everyone says this, but, I hope that people can put aside their differences and focus on the issues at hand. If they are concerned about petty things and mudslinging, that is less attention devoted to more important issues.
