Blue Collar Millionaires
September 18, 2007 01:48 PM EST

I thought the left wanted the "big money" and "special interests" out of politics. Isn't that why they embraced the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Act?

So why are all these libs out raising millions of dollars for millionaires. I guess it would be a shame if these rich people running for office actually had to spend their own money to do so.

Nice to know that them and their backers feel the pain of the working people. Recently Oprah Winfrey had a huge "Black People Can't Make It In America" fundraiser for Barrack Obama where they raised millions. This is the same Winfrey who did a "funny" skit on her show a year ago highlighting how she couldn't remember how to put gas in her car. Oprah and her friend struggled to find the cap, push the button on pump and debated over which number was showed the gallons put in and which number was the price of a fuel. Oprah admitted not having put gas in her car since 1988.

Doesn't that put her out of touch with just about everybody? I would expect most millionaires to at least know how to put gas in their car. Yet this woman who struggles with it feels our pain?

From just a light tracking of the left wing Democrat antiwar fund raising site Daily Kos it would appear that Edwards is the favorite over there. I can't help but wonder why a website that constantly bemoans how the poor working class can't get anywhere is interested in raising money for a millionaire. Again it would be a shame if this guy had to put his own money on the line for his re-elect bid.

And in news that's not worth mentioning, Hillary Clinton is getting hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions from Chinese immigrants living on welfare. Despite this, no one in our unbiased, non partisan media is even the slightest bit curious about where a bunch of people living on food stamps is getting these giant chunks of money to give to Clinton. Hillary and her wife have a long history of taking illegal campaign contributions from Chinamen who are hostile to the US, but I'm sure this current story is really nothing.

It's bad when these people expect us to pay for their miserable runs. But it's downright horrible when you consider what we're getting for it.

At every fundraiser these people go out and highlight their failures and tell us how stupid they are. According to them, Bush tricked them in to going into Iraq. Isn't it their job to go through all the facts first? Isn't it their job to sift through all the information? My boss at work wouldn't buy this excuse - so it confounds me that these people actually have people chomping at the bit to vote for them.

If Bush tricked them, then what are we supposed to think when they go to talk to people who truly are trying to trick us (like al Quada, the Iranians, etc)? The Syrians already have the Democratic Congressional leadership in their pocket. Pelosi assures us that the Syrians are peaceful - but as I already said, she is one who claims Bush tricked her.

So how is that? You guys on the left are truly unbelievable. You claim to care about the poor but you support millionaires who are out of touch. You claim to want the "big money" and "special interests" out of politics, but your side is run by those two things. You claim to want "honesty in government" but your lead candidate is guilty of taking illegal money - illegal even under the old laws. You want to tell me that Bush is a dunce - but your guys all tell me that they were tricked by the President.

You guys claim to be the smartest people in the United States...but of course, your stupid actions speak louder than your screeching words...
