I'm going to guess here Tom Delay?

[mackb4]

I don't like him,but I'll guess ***'s Dad [:o)].Clinton may be the only one listed whose parents were working class,he'd be my second choice.

[CSSHEGEWISCH]

I'll go with Bill Clinton, he grew up in Hope, Arkansas on KCS.

The current president Bush's father may have made money by OWNING part of the B&O, but not by serving the crews meals. Clinton's family life was dysfunctional but his pa seemed to be in sales when he had a steady job. That leaves Cheney (note spelling) and De Lay.

I have some notion the Cheney family were (are) big landowners in Wyoming, so I'll guess De Lay.

Did I manage to spell HIS name right?? [:I]

....None of the above....Delay's father worked in the oil fields.

I would probably say *** Cheney.Tom deLay isn't exactly the Railroiad Industry's best friend.Even though he hails from Sugarland,Texas on the UP (Ex Espee)'Sunset Route'and BNSF(Ex GCSF/ATSF) joint line to Rosenberg.Of course,DeLay is probably the Sleaziest Politician besides Ted Kennedy.

Cheney's the one. Heard him talk about his childhood railroad experiences.

[miniwyo]
