Surprised?

It shouldn't surprise anyone that the Democrats are afraid to be around real Americans. As much as the Ivory Tower members of the Liberal Elite like to talk about helping "the poor" (their term, apparently, for families making less than $100,000 a year at which point they become "the rich"), they largely have a great disdain for hard-working, blue-collar Americans. Viewing a NASCAR race as akin to visiting a Third World country, and thus recommended staffers to get hepatitis vaccinations before visiting, lines up pretty well for a group of privileged elites who become that they have the right to extra-democratically dictate the course of life for America.

GOP: NASCAR is contagious, but its fans are not

WASHINGTON - Being around NASCAR fans requires no inoculation.

That was the word Thursday from Republican officials after they learned that a congressional committee's Democratic staffers had advised aides to get vaccinated for hepatitis and other diseases before visiting NASCAR events in Concord, N.C., and Talladega, Ala.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said his committee aides were visiting health-care centers, detention facilities and other operations where they could be exposed to communicable diseases. He said the immunizations were routine for health-care workers.

"Democrats should know that there is no preventative measure yet designed to ward off the blue-collar values and patriotism that NASCAR fans represent," said LInda Daves, the chairwoman of the North Carolina Republican Party. "If they aren't careful, they just might catch some of it."
