Democrats the real party of the rich

One of the great misconceptions in American politics is that Republicans are the party of the rich.  That title belongs to the Democrats, who regularly garner the big bucks of America’s moneyed elite.  David Elliott of the AP reports:

For as often as Democrats attack the conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch for their heavy spending on politics, it's actually the liberal-minded who shelled out the most cash in the just completed midterm elections.

At least, that is, among those groups that must disclose what they raise and spend.

Among the top 100 individual donors to political groups, more than half gave primarily to Democrats or their allies. Among groups that funneled more than $100,000 to allies, the top of the list tilted overwhelmingly toward Democrats — a group favoring the GOP doesn't appear on the list until No. 14.

The two biggest super PACs of 2014? Senate Majority PAC and House Majority PAC — both backing Democrats.

In all, the top 10 individual donors to outside groups injected almost $128 million into this year's elections. Democratic-leaning groups collected $91 million of it.

Among the 183 groups that wrote checks of $100,000 or more to another group, Democrats had a 3-to-1 cash advantage. The biggest player was the National Education Association, at $22 million. Not a single Republican-leaning group cracked the top 10 list of those transferring money to others.

Overall, for the campaign season that just ended, donors who gave more than $1 million sent roughly 60 cents of every dollar to liberal groups. Among the 10 biggest donors, Democrats outspent Republicans by an almost 3-to-1 margin.

The democrat party is composed of rich megalomaniacs and the parasite class the does their bidding.

And do not forget the enabling media.

Lots of old hippies who hit the jackpot but can’t admit that they were wrong.

This is why most liberal economic policies are designed to prevent upward mobility. The wealthy don’t want us to be able to afford to join their clubs.

Including the liberals in the GOP.

Democrats love three things:

"Democrats the real party of the rich"

The Republican Party is the party of the great American middle class--of the people who placed a man on the moon, conquered polio, and created the greatest, most powerful, richest, most just nation the world has ever known out of the American wilderness.

Yes, I know, some who did these things were members of the Democrat Party and other political parties, but if they were alive today, they would abandon the Democrat Party--and fast!--and become Republicans.

My parents would. My grandparents and great grandparents would.

They were all Democrats. If they were alive today, they would repudiate the Democrat Party and everything it stands for--immediately and in no uncertain terms.

They were among the people who made America great.

Obama handily won the over $200,000 crowd in 2008.

New York Times types want us to believe oppressed sharecroppers are holding up the Democrat party. And some Jack London cannery workers...

Truth is - - take out the nose-in-the-air uber rich white assh*le elites (1%) and the democrat party's left with black criminals, dependent women, and angry illegals.

Gruber’s minor compared to other mean-spirited wealthy liberal elites... and he's nicer... (think about that one for a second...)

Yup. Dianne Feinstein and her mega-millonire rel estate husband live atop a hill overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. He made his gold via real estate investments in China while she served on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Nice.

And the prize must go to Tony Rezko!
