So, what is surprising to me is that you can't see that Democrats in general much more closely align with the middle class than Republicans. MUCH MORE CLOSELY.
Nope, not true. The article I linked to start this thread proves you wrong. The similar article that you provided also proves your statement wrong. Whatever you were trying to achieve by posting the definition to middle class, you failed. You simply showed that your thoughts are very disconnected.
I respectfully disagree. The article you posted, was published in the "Politics" section of the "News Observer." It is fully sourced, not to Mrs Edwards, or her husband, but to Monty Johnson. It quotes Mrs. Edwards, from a source that was NOT identified. and the story ends thus,
quote:
But Johnson and his wife, Vanessa, are getting out. They put their land on the market for $1.6 million -- before Edwards' remarks, Johnson said -- because the couple can't afford the property taxes and don't like all the growth around them.
"Whoever buys it can have it," he said, adding he'll sell it to the Edwardses if they want it.
In the meantime, Johnson said he doesn't have hard feelings toward Edwards, but he does expect her to say she's sorry.
"I think she owes me an apology," he said. "And I won't feel right until I get it. If this is how they treat people in the White House, America is in for a helluva time."
I have the opinion, and it is personal, that your ability to comprehend is seriously compromised by a powerful indoctrination into the cult of elitism or the worship of elitism.
I am sure that you will disagree, but John Edwards, except for exercising limited political power is middle class, by definition. His wife Elizabeth does not represent me, has never asked to represent me, and if she keeps talking the way she has in this case will never represent me.
I am a Progressive Democrat. From My point of view at the moment, Bill Richardson and Barak Obama represent my persona political philosophy best. Both of them are likely to say something embarrassing in the next year and a half.
Of the choices before the American Public at the moment, I would take Edwards over McCain, and Clinton. BUT believe me I would and hope I am able to support the election to the Presidency of either Bill Richardson or Barak Obama. In fact, I would be overjoyed to see a Presidential ticket with BOTH of them on it.
