I Just Saw Something Really Sad. And Then I Got Angry.

62. My own experience supports that rich assholes come in all parties, not just Republican

An asshole is an asshole, most of the assholes I have met are rich, the limousine liberals wrapped themselves up in "liberal social issue" righteousness, while agreeing with market based solutions and "business friendly" conservative economic policy they feel is common ground to be built upon.

They see nothing wrong with Clintonian welfare deformation and a "balanced" approach that requires the poor to give up more for the sake of bipartisan deficit reduction that enrich the rich by decreasing the poor.

Republicans are far worse in that they don't even bother with niceties such as equal opportunity, gay rights and reproductive freedom. Hard to want to hang out with assholes; in all fairness, let the assholes reform their humanity and deserve the right to "hang out" with us working poor slobs. They really don't get the right to pose in a picture with us and brag to country club snobs how well they treat the unwashed, we are more than the placeholder token friend in the stock Colbert photograph where they smile and point a finger proving their creds.

Some rich people are cool, but rare in my own experience, I am sure each person's experience varies.
