<The Democratic Party is the party of the common working man.> **************** You mean the same poor working man that can afford to pay $5,000-10,000 a plate for a Democratic fund raising luncheon? Or the poor Buddhist Nuns handing over thousands. That might even justify the need to rent out the Lincoln bedroom. Must be awful, might even explain why Clinton/Gore have spent the last two years of every spare moment making calls from the White House and doing fund raisers. Or the poor Chinese handing over thousands. It hurts me just thinking about how much rice they must have sold to do that. I know it's a hard process, I collected returnable cans and bottles during my vacation just so I could send them a check for $8.95. JFH

flap, sometimes I tend to disbelieve your claim to have been a Republican, because you are so full of misinformation and cliches that sound like they are derived from the Popular Front era. Then I decide to give you the benefit of the doubt. Then, you say things like "The Republicans are the party of fat cats and corporate corruption", or "the Democratic Party is the party of the common working man", and I scratch my head again, and wonder how an intelligent Democrat could say such things, much less a former Republican. The Republican Party is the party of Main Street, primarily. No one has a mass party made up of "fat cats", and corporations hedge their bets. In fact, because of the bias in favor of incumbents, for years Congressional Democrats got more corporate money then Republicans. As for the Democratic Party representing the common working man, well, it has shown a marked propensity to ignore the interests of working people, like loggers, when they conflict with environmentalist goals, and to deride the culture of the working man, which tends to be socially conservative. How do you think the Reagan Democrat came into being?
