In the days following the Democratic Convention in Boston ... several billionaire Democratic activists secretly met at the famed Aspen Institute in Colorado...their clandestine meeting ... the New Yorker magazine reports in its most recent edition.
Details of the meeting remain sketchy... The Aspen meeting was supposed to have been a top secret within Democratic party circles.
When The New Yorker inquired about the meeting, an assistant to one of the attendees was surprised by the call.
"No one was supposed to know about this,” the aide told the magazine. "We don’t want people thinking it’s a cabal or some sort of Masonic plot!”
Apparently the leader of the secret cabal is billionaire Peter B. Lewis; the chairman of the Cleveland, Ohio-based insurance company, the Progressive Corporation.
Like another attendee, George Soros, the wealthy financier, Lewis has poured millions into Democratic 527 groups, including Americans Coming Together and Moveon.org.
Another billionaire who attended was John Sperling, founder of the online University of Phoenix.
Also present were Herb and Marion Sandler from California. The couple founded the Golden West Financial Corporation, a California Bank reportedly worth $17 billion.

When so many Leftist pigs get together at one time it always makes me wonder who got left, so to speak, paying for lunch after the others snuck away.
For the "party of the poor," the Democrats sure have allot of rich people running things, something they've always accused us of doing.
The Aspen Institute seems to come up a lot these days, most recently with the Armitage connection.
