>>Uhhhh hold on a second there -- you think the Democrats are the party of the rich? lol

Look at median state incomes. The wealthier states are almost all Democrat. The Democrats by definition are the party of the rich, and watch out when the poor finally figure out that Dem leaders often are enthusiastic about anti-poor policies like offshoring jobs and importing millions of H1B workers to compete with school leavers.

Mind you, the GOP also seems to go out of its way to pursue impossible senseless ideas. In healthcare, celebrating removal of "personal mandate" (meaning compulsory participation) while promoting coverage of pre-existing conditions, is completely daft. But it was equally daft for the Dems to keep postponing/waiving personal mandate which is why it wasn't already embedded and unshakeable when the GOP took power. If there's a competition underway to see who can be the stupidest about joint spending for the common good, I'm not sure who might win.
