Why do the Democrats attract so many poor people when the vast majority of wealthy people in the Senate are Democrats? It is so funny how the Dems twist the truth and pretend that the Republicans are the elite and exclude others when in truth the Democratic leaders have most of the money and simply appeal to the poor to control them. Any thoughts? Just look at Kennedy and Pelosi. Lets tax wealth and not income.

Democrats attract poor people because democrat pander to the lowest political common denominator. Democrats claim to want to help the poor, the uneducated, the minorities so when the time comes those groups will continue to blindly vote democrat.
It is true that Democrats have larger war chests and personal wealth than Republicans. At least in Kerry's case it was because he married a millionairess ... twice.

You're probably right, but shouldn't it say that Republicans net worth in the Senate pales to Democrats?

Any body who's a republican who's got a lot of money is a successful businessman not a politic an. Republican politicians are really failed businessmen who couldn't do anything else but politics which takes no brain power at all. Gosh who does that remind me of.... somebody who lives in the White House.

True and I guess they voted for the tax cuts too. Sounds like a double standard.
