127. Complain about poor bashing while you rich bash
Funny, I thought you wanted class wrfare to stop.

"Let me give you a clue, folks: it's not the poor in this country who sent us to Iraq, who are raking in billions via corruption and illegal wars, who are profiting from fixed elections, sucking up to lobbyists, driving Hummers, living in mini-mansions and gated communities, stealing from state pension funds, ripping off the American people via corporate robbers like Enron, who are donating millions upon millions into Republican coffers, who own the RW hate radio stations and mediawhore outlets, who spew their twisted visions of our future from their RW think-tanks, or whose policies are being rebelled against in vigils all across this land."

There are Dems who drive Hummers, and other SUVs. Dems sometimes have mini-mansions, some do live in gated communities, and they are standing right beside us in those vigils, believe in the vaalue of the commons, think that corporate cronyism is repulsive even though some Dems even own businesses, and are CEOs of corporations (Jobs, Eisner, Buffet, etc), see the value in Universal healthcare, and what Bush is doing in Iraq is nothing less than war crimes.

I'm not rich, I work for a living, but I make a decent salary, and I have nice things. I her more rich bashing on DU than I do the poor.

I'm not doubting you have experienced poor bashing here, but two wrongs don't make it right.:hi:
