I've always kind of held Caroline and her brother apart and respected them even though their politics do not mesh with mine, and can't see myself bashing her ever, but you said it. That is the hypocrisy of liberals and, sad to say some Republicans, have enough money to escape it. Would her father really have gone along with abortion and other life issues and some of the other liberal changes in the party since his life was ended? I'm really trying to understand where they are coming from.
I think it's the Irish Catholic in that family that has played a big part in their original choice of parties; I think there is bitterness towards Republicans and the heritage of some of us "others" going way back. But that doesn't explain why so many wealthy cling so tenatiously to the Democrat Party; the most outspoken and wealthy of them do not have lives affected like mine has been, so I'm not some elite Republican by any means. And I'm not a goose stepping Republican either. Why oh why do they push for such liberal, socialistic policies when they don't have to live it themselves or are unaffected by the consequences? The price of gas, for instance, would be nothing to them. But life issues, don't get me started, can't fathom it, know nothing is likely to change, still there are principles.
Would her father have gone along with what that party has transitioned into? Probably. It isn't all about their Catholicism by any means, and I've been a Catholic and hold many of their teachings dear.
That's where the most votes can be found. Legally and fraudulently.
I remember seeing some video of John Jr. right before he died and when asked the question what the first thing he would do if elected President, he said, “Lower taxes.” Besides his great looks, THAT really got my attention.

Correct!
I don't bash her personally because she has lead an upright life and raised three children
I'm sure she's a lovely and gracious person.
It's the knee jerk liberal part that gets me.
Not that she has said much but you know she won't expand drilling for oil (ANWR and offshore) because she has no idea what is going on. Her inherited wealth has shielded her from America's problems
It's easy to be an eco-freak when you are worth 100 million plus.
BTW Most of Carolyn's wealth come from gold. Jacquelyn Kennedy bought in big very early on the advice of a Jewish advisor Wall St big shot who's name escapes me at the moment
