Elephants good; Donkeys bad.

Republicans for the rich, Democrats for the working man....not so much.

Another myth about "the rich" has been shattered - namely the conventional wisdom that they are all Republicans - thanks to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. A December 18, 2002 Washington Times editorial reports that donors giving "small and medium amounts" in 2002 overwhelmingly supported the GOP, while "rich or deep-pocketed givers" hugely backed the Democrats!


Donations $200 - $999: GOP $68 million; Democrats $44 million.

$1,000 - $9,999: GOP $317 million; Democrats $307 million.

The "fabulously wealthy" donors giving -

$10,000 or more: $111 million GOP - $140 million Democrats
(that's $29 million LESS given to the GOP than the Democrats!)

Among those who gave an incredible $100,000 or more: the Democrats raised $72 million - more than double the $34 million the GOP took.

So if the Republicans are "for the rich guys" why are so many of the incredibly wealthy giving so extravagantly to the Democrats?
