The Democrats' Fake Chant that They Are the People's Party

It is always infuriating to read and hear incessantly that the Democratic Party is the party of the people, dedicated to protecting the “average” guy / girl and his / her family. Democrats love to poke a pauper's stick in the eye of any nearby Republican, just to remind the world that the GOP is the party of “millionaires.”

Of course, we all know that this is rubbish, but in case you have any lingering doubts about which party is full of wealthy politicians whose interests are heavily weighted toward “the good life,” consider the following.

President Barack Obama is spending his holidays, all 17 days of them, in beach front homes in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii. The tab that the President will hopefully pay personally is reportedly about $6,000 per night. US taxpayers will foot a bill of about $4 Million for the required security and communications systems needed while the President is on vacation.

While the president and his family are on their 17-day luxury vacation, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is spending her Christmas at the exotic Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Ka'upulehu in Kona, Hawaii. The California Democrat's suite, which she has rented for the past two Christmases, goes for a gigantic $10,000 a night. Pelosi has been escorted by local police during her two visits, at a cost of $34,000 to local taxpayers.

Pelosi reportedly spent Christmas Eve at midnight Mass in St. Michael's Catholic Church in Kailua-Kona. Presumably, she gave a big contribution when the offering plate was passed, say $10,000, just to ease her conscience about the luxury of her own life, amid her rants about the GOP’s imaginary preoccupation with millionaires. But, then, it has often been proven that Mrs. Pelosi doesn’t have much of a conscience, does she?

GOP House Speaker John Boehner is at home in Ohio for the holidays.
