look at how many people think the Democrats care about "the little guy"! What is your basis for saying that they don't? They promote unemployment among the least employable by way of minimum wage laws; they promote failure among among poor and minorities, primarily blacks (see separate list below); they support government schools and teachers unions, which may not be as universally bad as many right-wingers say, but in some cases truly Does effectively condemn children to poverty; they support the restriction of self-defense of criminals' victims, which tends to be TLG (the little guy); they tend to demonize and discourage businesses, without which there are fewer jobs, frequently with TLG being the first to go or not be hired; they discourage reasonable exploitation of domestic natural resources, which would create jobs and reduce prices, again, with a greater effect on the TLG. (Hmmm... The list is only Roughly in order of importance, but I don't feel like reordering it.)

Like labor unions, the Dems may have actually been good for TLG at one time, but not as much anymore. Dems in significant elected office are primarily interested in maintaining, increasing, or regaining power, partly by way of keeping significant voter blocks ingnorant and/or dependent. (Note that this should not be misconstrued to imply that I think the Republicans are all saints or whatnot, I'm only addressing some of the inconsistencies of Dem politics. As I said above, Both ruling parties owe much of their power to naivete.)

Deferred list from above:
Continued support of a victim mentality - Even if/where racism persists, the way to succeed is to overcome it, not sit on your butt and whine about it all the time. This is further reinforced by continued support/association with the likes of Jesse Jackson who are quick to claim racism whether or not it exists and never advocate that black miscreants be held accountable for their misdeeds.
Continued support for prohibition - combined with the above victim mentality, teaches inner city youth that the best way to get ahead is to become a gang member and/or drug pusher.
Continued support for broken families - welfare policies (and some feminist rhetoric) teach the poor that having a father around is at best unnecessary, and single parent families are a great predictor of academic failure and criminal activity.
