The Misunderstood Democrat

Democrats are the elitist party not republicans. What you say??? I was just listening to our President present the State of the Union Address and realized what I believe to be the "true" position of democrats and republicans.

Why is it that Republicans have the image of being the elitist power-hungry party? If put some good thought behind that stigma the result is completely opposite.

Hear me out... The generic Republican message stands for smaller government where the American people direct the state of our country through a market system and network of states. In contrast, the democratic message seems to stand for more control of the Federal government. This obviously means less control from the American citizens.

The crazy thing is that the democratic party paints a euphoric picture of Uncle Sam (not me), taking care of the American people with programs and spending. They really do a great job at this! Unfortunately, the democratic voters don't seem to realize that the Democrat legislators are the "true" elitist group. They want to control more and more of your life for the "sake of your good" (sigh). The more they control equals the more that you will NEED them elected. It is a self serving form of public policy that serves only the policy maker.

Just think about it when you choose with a vote. Do you want the will of the American people or the American people's government?
