A friend of mine: "The GOP is made up of smart rich people and stupid poor people."

[Ardent15]

I think this is a good point. The former have brainwashed the latter.

[GodlyDemocrat]

1. Is the Democratic Party made up of dumb rich people and smart poor people?

The converse ...

[Ardent15]

2. No....

The Democratic Party is made up of the rest of the people.

[ixion]

14. well, no

there are several parties, and independents. Just sayin'...

[NoGOPZone]

12. Maybe. Do you fit either of those categores? nt

[DireStrike]

19. Mostly anyone with a conscience

...And the party fixtures that stop that feeling from passing through rhetoric and into policy.

[Qutzupalotl]

26. In their eyes, yes.

They think our rich are stupid to want to raise their own taxes even a cent. And they fear our smart masses.

[HopeHoops]

3. That pretty much sums it up, eh?

No WONDER the GOP hates education. Keeping a bunch of stupid sheep in line is so much easier.

[sam sarrha]

4. I've been harping for nearly 30 years that they are mentally ill, Pathological OCD, they are

out of control.. an elitist religious Cargo Cult is becoming more obvious, based on believing that Wealth is the measure of Gods "Favor" of a man/corporation, therefore it is a sin against god to tax a Rich Man or Corporation. by default the poor are being punished by god, and it is a sin to help the poor, they have a base of underclass supporters duped into believing they will get favor supporting the elite rich who are actually screwing them... this was common belief in even the Roman Empire.. Jesus was really upsetting the Apple Cart.

it explains all the mysteries of the GOP, all those .."WHAT THE HELL.??!! MOMENTS... and the NeoCons in particular

[Mrs. Overall]

5. I don't know if it's just the "poor"--my middle class republican relatives are simply "stupid".

They scorn any sort of higher education, are complete racists, and continuously vote against their interests because they do not possess critical thinking skills and are easily duped by bullshit (mainly FOX News and Fundamentalist Christianity).

[Ardent15]

7. To the corporatists in the GOP, anyone below them is "poor"

...including your relatives.

[Zoeisright]

9. I've got relatives like that too.

Frustrating as hell.

[Ardent15]

15. So do I, unfortunately.

[inna]

6. i've always said it's 2 categories of people who comprise the republican party -

1) the Wealthy, and
2) the Suckers

[gateley]

13. I'm gonna steal that, okay? I'll give credit, though. It's perfect! nt

[Cha]

8. Beg to differ..Rich stupid greedy assholes and

brainwashed poor people. And, very sad.

[Salviati]

11. Right, the smart rich folks know that the type of society that the republicans are pushing for

isn't good for them either. It's really only the shortsighted wealthy who are pushing for those kinds of policies.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

10. Some of the poor republicans are smart. Heres proof

Taken from the morons with signs post earlier.

Note: I had to re-type Morons five times because my fingers keep typing morans.

[Hannah Bell]

20. what are those signs about?

[OffWithTheirHeads]

24. Euthanasia. Death panels. Utter stupidity.

[Kaleko]

Euthanasia spelled Youth In Asia.

I suspect the couple in the photo has infiltrated a moron rally with their hilarious anti-health reform signs.

On the other hand, they could be genuinely brain dead.

[Hannah Bell]

31. oh. duh, i missed the connection.

[Cha]

23. No explaination..just take our dumbass word

for it.

[BlooInBloo]

16. And stupid rich people. Funny how some think rich = smart.

[Ardent15]

17. Yep. Just look at Dubya.

[Qutzupalotl]

27. and all the people who think they're in the top tax bracket.

[Liberal_in_LA]

18. The GOP is able to manipulate the working class to vote against their own interests...they distract

them with race baiting, gay marriage, abortion and such

[Duer 157099]

21. GOP = selfish rich people + stupid poor people

Dems = compassionate rich people + smart poor people

[bulloney]

22. The GOP is made up of people from all classes who don't know their history.

They keep promoting policies and ideologies that have been proven failures.

[samsingh]

25. well said

[rrneck]

28. There may be some overlap.

[TheKentuckian]

29. They attract the stupid, myopic, and greedy from all demographics

Some of the poor are like preemptively greedy, wanting to hoard money they may never even have they lust for wealth so much. You have middle class educated folks that are too dense to even think about the richer robbing them while they focus like a laser beam on anyone different or poorer than them for even going through their trash. You've got plenty of shortsighted and amoral rich people that aren't brilliant but more often riding coattails and grabbing all they can like one of those all you can get in 3 minutes shopping sprees.

[southernyankeebelle]

30. When they finally realized that they have been used they are going

to be pissed off. To bad so sad.

[jasi2006]

32. All the rich GOP I know are pretty stupid.

I worked for a few. Got their positions thru privilege, inheritance, cheating others. They are stupid because they believe in people like Bush, Cheney, Beck and Rush. The ones I worked for couldn't do simple math with fractions. They really can't think their way out of a paper bag. Maybe that's not all of them...but the ones I knew and worked for.

[d_r]

33. we call them

country club republicans and walmart republicans.

And they don't have the same agendas, and the more we can drive wedges between them the better.

[GeorgeGist]

34. Only one hitch ...

you don't have to be poor to be stupid.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

35. Maybe it should be...

The GOP is made up of amoral rich people and really dumb poor people. The rich and poor thinking and caring classes are Democratic.
