oh come on. I have three aunts, one deceased. I have not seen my mother's sister since mmm 1988 or so... I have not seen my father's sister, who lives in Scotland, since I was sixteen. I know some families are much closer, but I don't think I am unusual either. How far back would you take something like that? I am related to half of Quebec if you take it far enough back, and who knows what the Irish side got up to :)
Suppose he had spent campaign funds to investigate all of his relatives and discovered this about his aunt. What was he supposed to do about it exactly? Turn her in? Is this even a legal use of campaign funds? I think this is a stretch. On Sat, Nov 1, 2008 at 5:42 PM, Scott Stroz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Regardless, she is here illegally.
