And Harry Reid is one of the best Crony Capitalists in DC. They like to talk about being advocates for the poor, but actions speak louder than words.
----------------------------------------------
Corporate donors to a green energy nonprofit operated by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid’s (D., Nev.) former staffers and a current campaign operative have received billions of dollars in federal loan guarantees and grant money as a result of Reid’s advocacy.

Fulcrum Bioenergy began contributing to the Clean Energy Project (CEP) in 2013. One year later, the Nevada Democrat steered tens of millions of dollars in federal grant money to the California biofuel company.

Fulcrum is one of at least nine corporate donors to the Clean Energy Project (CEP) that have secured federal financing for themselves or a client due in part to Reid’s behind-the-scenes advocacy—activity that watchdogs warn could be construed as unethical.

Dems have been the unabashed party of Wall St. and Silicon Valley since the mid 1990's.

Prior to that it was the GOP while the Dems looked out for the middle class.

Now the GOP is more Main St.

Funny how things change.

So it seems to me that Republicans should be supporting initiatives (like a Constitutional amendment to overturn "Citizens United") that are aimed at getting the *really* big money out of politics.

Why aren't they?

Obama borrowed trillons from the Chinese to give to his rich fat cat buddies on Wall Street that supported him. The poor and espcially blacks have fared terribly under Obama's reign. Income inequality has accelrted at unpredented speed during Obama's reign.

Republicans are good for the middle class and the Dems are good at expanding the poor and rich.

Get it through your head; nobody in government has ever cared about the middle class or any class for that matter. As long as they got money in their pocket, like that great Democrat from California Barbara Boxer (thanks for giving her to us California retards) they don't care if you live or die.

It is what government is and if you think otherwise I might be reprimanded for what I am about to say but you're just stupid. Sorry but there is no other way to put it. Stupid.

How is the title of this thread possible?

All Democrats are welfare leeches. I read it here on this forum thousands of times so it must be true.

Lol...great.

You make a post about how Republicans are for Main Street.

Then...As soon as Citizens United is mentioned, you run as fast as you can to the first rich person you could find, tackle him, and cover his body with yours like the best damn bodyguards in the world would do for their clients.

And you managed to do it before the thread hit 2 pages. Lol..

Hey...I've got a few bucks in my pocket. Get over here and protect me from the big bad liberals while you're barely getting by on your wages.

Suckers. There's one born every hour.
