The Thomas Chronicles

That age-old axiom indoctrinated into you since you were in grade school is no longer true. The Republican Party isn’t the party of the rich. It’s the Democrats.

Democrats like to define themselves as the party of poor and middle-income Americans, but a new study says they now represent the majority of the nation’s wealthiest congressional districts.

In a state-by-state, district-by-district comparison of wealth concentrations based on Internal Revenue Service income data, Michael Franc, vice president of government relations at the Heritage Foundation, found that the majority of the nation’s wealthiest congressional jurisdictions were represented by Democrats.

He also found that more than half of the wealthiest households were concentrated in the 18 states where Democrats hold both Senate seats.

“If you take the wealthiest one-third of the 435 congressional districts, we found that the Democrats represent about 58 percent of those jurisdictions,” Mr. Franc said.

…

“The demographic reality is that the Democratic Party is the new ‘party of the rich.’ More and more Democrats represent areas with a high concentration of wealthy households,” he wrote on Nov. 5 in the Financial Times of London, in a preview of his study.

To political junkies like myself, this is not news. The only surprising thing about it for me is that it’s being reported at all.

You have powerhouses like George Soros (the billionaire who almost singlehandedly broke the British pound and who intends to do the same our Dollar), like Warren Buffet, the Hollywood Deep Pockets and the transnationalists billionaires all supporting Democrats and Leftist causes. In contrast, the Republicans are mostly supported by the American middle-class and small businessmen.

Surprised? If you followed politics these past few years, you shouldn’t be.

Another interesting news item. I think we’ve lost one of our staunchest ally in this war: Australia.

Unbeknownst to most Americans this Thanksgiving Holiday, Australia just voted in a Kevin Rudd as Prime Minister, who rode into victory under the twin promises of signing the Kyoto Treaty and pulling Australia’s troops out of Iraq.

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Conservative Prime Minister John Howard suffered a humiliating defeat Saturday at the hands of the left-leaning opposition, whose leader has promised to immediately sign the Kyoto Protocol on global warming and withdraw Australia’s combat troops from Iraq.

Labor Party head Kevin Rudd’s pledges on global warming and Iraq move Australia sharply away from policies that had made Howard one of President Bush’s staunchest allies.

Rudd has named global warming as his top priority, and his signing of the Kyoto Protocol will leave the U.S. as the only industrialized country not to have joined it.

Our list of allies are growing thinner than a Hollywood actress shoving pens down her throat every morning.

I’m looking around and I’m thinking to myself, How long will we be a sovereign nation?

George Soros and the world are hell-bent on breaking America. Soros himself said he spends more than $500 million dollars a year to influence our politics.

So far, they’re doing a damn good job of it.
