Answer 1

Who cares

Answer 2

Oh both parties are controlled by wealthy people.

Answer 3

Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are also Democrats and two of the wealthiest men in the world. Not all rich people are completely selfish like conservative rich people are. Many liberal rich people want to pay taxes to create a great society. Republican elitists want to horde as much wealth as possible, while shifting the tax burden to the lower and middle classes through the flat tax or "Fair" tax. This is just a fact.

Answer 4

Buncha limo liberals!!

Answer 5

Those people in the Government are all rich.None of them Know what it's Like to deal with these High Prices.Bs none of them feel the pain at the pump.Nor high heating bills in the winter.

Answer 6

No. So what.

Answer 7

We are smarter...Go figure...

Answer 8

It's funny that the rich ones are the people being accused of wanting to raise taxes on the rich.

Answer 9

I wish I could fulfill that myth!

Yes, they are and all the prominent Democrats are rich, too. I guess they'll have to go back to saying we all live in the south and don't have an education.

Answer 10

I think you speak the truth!  Republicans are just more charitable, nicer, and happier too!

Answer 11

No, but most rich people vote Republican.  

Answer 12

There is no doubt.  

John Edwards

Ted Kennedy

Al Gore

The Clintons

Barbara Pelosi (Richest person in the House)

George Soros

Michel Moore

And if Obama keeps dealing with Rezko he will also become even more rich.

Answer 13

I think many of the the liberals and their lapdogs in the media don't want people to know the truth, but Forbes got it right.  

Look at the Kennedys, the Kerrys, the Clintons... And the huge media moguls like George Soros and Oprah... all rich, all democrats.  

Answer 14

You know I love this.  But lets not only look at the politicians, but also their supporters.  Obama has some of the richest supporters I have ever seen rally around a candidate.  And he thinks the Republicans are elitists?

Look at this small list of Obama supporters that were at the conference. Kanye West (who I read yesterday spent $15,000 on sunglasses. I wish I had that kind of money to blow),  not to mention Richard Dreyfus, Sheryl Crow, John Legend,Forest Whitaker, Angela Bassett, Dana Delany,Jennifer Hudson, Michael McDonald, Stevie Wonder and Take 6, Jessica Alba, Fergie and Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas, Matthew Modine, Susan Sarandon, Matthew Modine, Anne Hathaway, Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine, Kerry Washington and Lawrence O'Donnell, Wilder Valderrama Steven Spielberg, All four living original members played together at the convention — Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh and Bill Kreutzmann and lets not forget Oprah!  

Answer 15

Thank you for presenting the truth of the most often repeated lie. It has been perpetrated by the Democrats to promote jealousies between the haves and the have-nots.

Based on campaignn donations, I would think it true of the constituents as well.

Answer 16

Money doesn't separate the parties, mindless drivel does.

Answer 17

I knew about this before, but still being a poor man myself I can say that the gop has done little for my class.  

Answer 18

I consider myself a Republican and I am not rich.  I am rich with family and friends and I have enough to support my family and give to my church, but I am not wealthy.  

Answer 19

So whats your question?  How many poor politicians do you know of?

Answer 20

Well, of course, rich people are in both parties.  

Maybe, only Democrats are on your list because Republicans are tax cheats and put their money offshore!

Answer 21

I would love to hav ethe money of John Kerry, or the Kennedy's or Pelosi, or Fienstein or Reid or...or...or...or...or

Answer 22

Pretty close to equal - 6 of one 5 of the other - means nothing.  BOTH parties are run by big corporations - that is why we have a party system - between the corporations the networks and the talking heads that build and strengthen the party system in this country only the American people get screwed - and politicians will stay rich - dems or repubs - doesn't matter - all the same machine my friend.

Answer 23

Answer 24

Me..I would-a thunk it...
