The Misguided Minority
Republicans represent the wealthiest 2% of the nation -- and that's all. It's surprising that the GOP still has a 26% approval rating. Who are those other 24%? They must be the "Misguided Minority", "The Suckers Who Are Born Every Minute", the Rush Limbaugh "Dittoheads", etc. They are supporting a party which has no interest at all in them whatsoever. Republicans only care about the rich. They are frank and open about their contempt for the poor. Just look at their jackal-pack ridicule of a homeless man who took Michelle Obama's picture because he owns a cell phone. Homeless people should not own cell phones. They should have absolutely nothing. Only the rich are entitled to have things. Who are these poor fools -- these 24% of Americans -- who are not rich and yet continue to support the Republican Party? They are like condemned men pulling the switch on their own electric chairs.

Pal - If you want to publish the accurate truth you should say the following: 25% of the 400 wealthiest citizens in America are Democrats. Another 15% are Bipartisan. So, give or take a few people about 60% of the wealthiest citizens in America tend to register and vote Republican.
The other thing you may wish to consider, ponder, question, meditate upon is why these awful, horrendous, greedy, mother-grubbing, job-creating, tax-evading, yacht-owning, profit-earning, slave-driving, benevolent, America-loving, misguided minority sons-of-bitches who invest and succeed typically lean to the right. Push them away and live with the consequences. I don't wish to be here when that happens - and it is happening and you are supporting it. C'mon CPJ -think it through.
@Thom: aren't we living in the very society that's been welcoming and encouraging these guys for the last 30 years? They haven't done us any favors; Rand was blinded by dollar signs when she imagined that the wealthiest, most powerful individuals are the ones who do the most good.
I'd rather be poor than homeless. I get the feeling that some folks would rather me out on the street just so rich thieves (of any purported political stripe) can stay "too big to fail".
@CPJ: the original lyrics of "This Land is Our Land" are all I need to remind me that what you say is basically true, but Democrats, as capitalists, do a lot to keep the poor powerless too. Less, perhaps, than their colleagues across the aisle, but they still do it.
