Why are republicans considered elitist and democrats are not?

Question

Obama's campaign earned about a million dollars at a fundraiser hosted by George Clooney in Geneva where attendees paid €688 each to hear him speak and others paid €6,880 each to attend a dinner with him at Clooney's apartment. You people who forked over $100 dollars to his campaign -- do you really think he has your interests at heart vs the people who flew in from Los Angeles, Prague, London, and Zurich?

Oh yeah, and why didn't the media hoards follow Obama to Switzerland to let us see the beautiful people who party while we work? Oh yeah -- it's because we are not supposed to see that side of Obama.

Answer 4

Uhm....

The Republicans act like they invented the "e-word."

Answer 5

The Republicans are the party of rich corporations. The democrats have the interests of working people at heart.

Answer 6

Just by watching the two conventions you can tell why republicans are considered elitists. Just look at the people in the audience and you can see that there is no diversity on the republican side. Everyone looks like they work for some big corporation, whereas in the democrats look like everyday people.

Also, the democrats have a history of trying to help people that are struggling economically, etc. Republicans believe in "personal responsibility" even if it's not fair to some people who were born at a disadvantage.
