it is "becoming harder by the day to take the Democrats seriously as the party of the common man."
.....................................................
John Kerry is a perfect embodiment of the takeover of the Democratic Party by wealthy elites. If elected, he would become the richest man ever to sit in the White House
...........................................................
John Kerry has actually pulled in much more money than sitting President George Bush this spring and summer. Mr. Kerry's monthly fund-raising totals have routinely doubled or even tripled Mr. Bush's sums. And while Mr. Bush has relied heavily on flocks of small donors, the money on the Kerry side has come much more from well-heeled individuals like the Hamptons beach-house owners who handed him $3 million in one day at the end of August.

So, which is the party of the people now?
.........................................................
Once upon a time, America's distaste for elitism translated easily into a distrust for conservatism. But today, with country-club Republicans having been swept aside by Nascar Republicans, there is nothing undemocratic about American conservatism. Among elites, it is now liberalism that is the dominant creed.

I think the last straw was when Mary Cheney did not appear on the stage with the rest of the family at the convention. I heard that she was asked not to go onto the stage with his partner. Bush really showed that he is still a divider not a uniter, this time dividing gay Republicans from their party. It seems many will now not vote for Bush, and possibly even vote for Kerry.
