“Our party has gotten to be a party of liberal elites. That’s great if you want to be in the minority for the next 30 years. That’s not where America is. Democrats have left our lunch-bucket allies behind.”
In an interview regarding his opposition to the EPA, Rep. Schrader makes the admission after after calling the EPA the “big problem for economic development in our region.” …

The problem isn’t he said it. The problem is they lied about it for so long and now that people are seeing through it, they are covering their butts.

Anyone think to ask ol’ Kurt why he’s consistently voted with the “liberal elites”?

Everyone knows it's true, so his saying it won't make any difference.

Democrats like to think their the party of ‘’the lunch-bucket’’ people(having been a blue collar guy I never heard that term, ‘’lunch bucket guy’’) but everything they do, every economic policy they come up with hurts working people.

Can you come up with something original? Your browbeating is doing YOU and US no good. Offer up something positive, already.

Well, do you see people fully intending to repeat the stupidity of screwing the country again? Again? Yup. Those of us having to suffer that stupidity when we didn’t help wreck America aren’t real upset at the discomfort of those that did.

Liberal “elites” are underwhelming in every way sans their ability to disbelieve evidence of their mediocrity.

The Democrats have always been a party of “elites” busy suckering the working class to vote for them. Slavery, racism, KKK, eugenics, and poverty - these are the products of the democrat party.

Obamas “economic progressive policies” overwhelmingly favor the 1% “elites”(Fed prints money, sends it to Wall Street… stock market soaring, middle class pooring)! Observe (with the exception of the hated Koch Brothers)… nearly ALL the richest 1% (Hollywood, BIG media, Gates, Buffet, Steyer) are loyal Democrats and Obama’s golf pals (having purchased their Obamacare and now FCC internet exemptions)!

If one spends two minutes with truth… they will quickly learn Democrat/liberals/”progressives” and socialists HATE the middle class (Karl Marx despised the bourgeoisie, for they tend to be independent and therefore hard to rule)! Think a moment… their alleged “beloved” middle class, especially the blue collar folks and independent small business… are where most the GOP vote resides these days. (I wish the RINOs would learn this).

Obama has not only hurt America, he has wrecked the Democrat Party—Once they were seen as the common man’s party—now its a freak show of special interests only. Once they elected people like JFK, Truman, now they have gone so far Left they are almost Communists or at least Socialists. They are ready to try to built a “Worker’s Utopia” (that hasn’t worked anyplace in the past).

This is even more true of UK Labour.

In the UK, there IS an actual working class (In America, “working class” or “working families” describes people who are NOT working). Labour was for years the party of the little guy, now they’re the party of college graduates in public jobs, homosexuals, and coloured immigrants.

They may never come back to where they were up to 1979.
