#1 Many of the same delegates who sneer at corporate America's influence on the Bush White House threw back glasses of chardonnay and Crown Royal bourbon paid for by some of the nation's richest industries.

"There's a huge contradiction,'' said Rep. George Miller of Martinez, who has been attending conventions since he was first elected to Congress more than 30 years ago

This shouldn't be too much of a contradiction for an old hypocritical, party-machine socialist like George Miller though. A member of the "Progressive Caucus," this POS is basically Berkley's Federal Rep. I've met this bastard. He has got looking down his nose at constituents down to a fine art.

Says one thing, does another. A typcial Democrat.

#2 "Democrats hail working stiffs, but party on corporationsâ tab"

Anybody who'd expect otherwise-- or believe anything the Democrats say-- is an ignorant fool.

#3 And even though Democrats are supposed to be the champions of the Little Guy, there are always stories coming out about liberals stiffing little minimum wage waiters...

...Independent researcher Tom Kuiper called our attention last week to a passage from Ron Kessler's 1997 best seller, "Inside Congress: The Shocking Scandals, Corruption, and Abuse of Power Behind the Scenes on Capitol Hill." Kessler's account includes a few choice quotes from one of the Senate dining room waiters, who used to regularly serve the Senate's wealthiest member.

Kerry is "real cheap," the waiter told Kessler. "He tips, but it is ten percent and below." The waiter noted that the Massachusetts Democrat isn't alone. Some of Kerry's less-gold-plated colleagues "either do not tip or tip very little. ... They might go out without signing their check or they might sign the check w/ no tip."
