While the middleclass fight among themselves, Washington is one big family behind closed doors that maintain incestuous relationships devoid of party loyalties. It is for this reason that we should never have a loyalty to party but to policy.
At this point in time the Democratic Party’s policies are in the best interest of the middleclass. That said, it would be naïve to believe that unlike the Republican Party that somehow the Democratic Party is immune to corporate control. The fact is, they are. It is for this reason we got a less than optimal healthcare bill, a less than optimal finance reform bill, and so on.
When seeing news about some aid of some Republican being on the payroll of some rich liberal it should not come as any surprise. Activists for the middleclass and the middleclass proper need to keep their eye on the goal not the politicians. When we start realizing that the politician is but our tool that we created to do our bidding we will get policies that benefit the middleclass.
This type of story should give everyone a wake up call that the powerful that we have allowed to run the country inasmuch as they fight each other in public for sport otherwise live incestuously.

Top Palin aide is on Soros’ payroll
Revealed: the surprisingly close link between the liberal billionaire and the Republican superstar Video
Glenn Beck spent the past week denouncing the liberal billionaire and philanthropist George Soros as a "puppet master" who is orchestrating a coup "to bring America to her knees."
Given Soros’ alleged role plotting to destroy the United States, Beck and his Fox viewership might be surprised to learn that one of Sarah Palin’s top aides has been on Soros’ payroll for years.
That would be Republican lobbyist Randy Scheunemann, Palin’s foreign policy adviser and a member of her small inner circle. He runs a Washington, D.C., consulting firm called Orion Strategies. Scheunemann and a partner have since 2003 been paid over $150,000 by one of Soros’ organizations for lobbying work, according to federal disclosure forms reviewed by Salon. The lobbying, which has continued to the present, centers on legislation involving sanctions and democracy promotion in Burma.
Scheunemann’s client is the Open Society Policy Center, a DC-based advocacy group founded and funded by Soros. The Open Society Policy Center says on its website that it "encourages Congress and the Administration to press the military dictatorship in Burma to restore political rights and democracy."
In the course of Beck’s three-day look at Soros’ network of organizations and his links to Democratic politicians, the fact that a top aide to a likely GOP presidential candidate has been retained by a Soros outfit did not come up.
