"Right now we don't have a voice at the table, and real people will suffer because we don't have that voice at the table," Maddox said, adding the party must do more to differentiate itself from Republicans.

I guess it wasn't "real people" that gave the Republicans a win. The "real people" must have been so intimidated by the Royles Royces, BMW's, Jags, and Mercedes parked outside the polls by the priviledged voters that they were too intimidated to vote.

"They are the party of privilege; we stand for opportunity for all," Maddox said in a short speech punctuated several times by applause. "They're for Wall Street; we're for your street."

Yes, that is exactly their problem, they do stand for "opportunity for all", the opportunity to be labled one of the "evil priviledge rich" if you and your wife make a combined income of 100,000 a year, heck if you make 60 grand your rich as far as Demoncrats are concerned.

They are for your street alright, intent on moving members of the "evil, rich, priviledged" middle class off their streets and into the poor house.

The demoncrats problem is that people have begun to know just who they mean by evil rich, and that they personally, working stiffs putting in 50 hours or more a week, are neither. Speeches like this lame excuse, will do nothing but bury them deeper as they pander more to the minorities engulfing the nation. It's not going to do much for Bush either.

something else very interesting is happening.. the Democrats have to continually re-define who the "rich" are.. apparently they don't realize that a large percentage of their base falls into that category... apparently a Republican who earns $100,000/yr is "evil-rich" and a Democrat who earns $100,000/yr is a "potential candidate"... or at least a potential campaign contributor, who can afford to buy a night in the Lincoln Bedroom..
