The Reps. are seen as the party of the elite I do believe you're correct about this. But it is a result of liberal lies, not of any truthful portrayal. The true "elite" are the Barbara Streisands, hell, the Clintons, the Baldwins, Tom Cruise, the Spielburgs. These are the people who think they are somehow better than the rest of us. The idea the Democrats are the party of the working man is just patently absurd. It is the Democrat party that has, for 30 years, grabbed money from the working class at an unprecendented rate to redistribute as they've seen fit. And this attempt to be a more populist party by acknowledging and employing people of color is seen for what it is. "What it is" is simply the Republicans' core beliefs shining through -- that if African Americans are given an chance to excel they will do it. It is obvious that Bush has put together the best cabinet in modern times. There is little question that Bush selected Rice and Powell based on anything other than sheer capability. YET, this doesn't fit with the Democrats' core belief that Affirmative Action should be employed, and that these two maximally qualified individuals have made it to the top without the benefits of Affirmative Action is killing the Democrats. Handouts, whether it be of money or of jobs, serve only to propagate the need for further handouts. The conservatives know this, the liberals don't. How can you call it "pitiful" that these two fine Americans have risen to the top based on their on accomplishments? Interestingly, no liberal administration has EVER had African Americans in such prestigious positions, yet this Republican administration has managed it, while finding the best conceivable people for these jobs. It speaks volumes about the competence of the current administration to employee the absolute best persons for every job. It is sad that liberals, in an effort to further their political position, will criticize the president for this. That's your truth........that doesn't necessarily mean its the real truth I don't expect liberals to comprehend the importance of receiving the news from the most unbiased, truthful sources possible. Let's face it: Liberalism, Socialism, Communism (closely related concepts) all rely on one thing: Misleading the masses. As long as you have control of the media (CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS) you can stay on target. It is a fact that FOX has created problems for the liberal/socialist movement in this country. I can't comment on Kudlow & Cramer, as I don't watch them.f the rest of us are evolutionary nightmares that need to be expunged I don't want liberals "expunged". I have a great deal of belief in the resilience of people, and even lost causes (you know who you are) can come around. It is not uncommon for people to become more conservative as they mature, as life experiences teach them the failures of liberalism. In the same way, even a purportedly mature adult can suddenly see the light and realize this his/her childish beliefs simply don't apply.
