BLITZER: Jack Cafferty's here with "The Cafferty File" -- Jack.</s>CAFFERTY: Question this hour is, how much do the two major political parties really care about you? Pardon me. Alan in California writes, "Absolutely none. If you're not a lobbyist or a big donor, they could careless what's best for the commoners and the country. All they want to do is continue their power and job. Never call them representatives." Dee in New York says, "The two parties care about me enough to attempt to get me to the polls to elect them to a job with better pay, benefits and retirement than I will ever have." Gregg in Arkansas says, "They must care about me quite a bit. They send me notices in the mail telling me how much they have accomplished in Washington. They call me regularly at dinner time and remind me how important my vote is to them so that they can continue to represent me. I'm so important that they even invented a machine to call me when they're too busy working on vital legislation to call in person. I guess I'm so lucky to have these conscientious elected officials working on my behalf. I sleep better at night knowing how much they care." Jim in Denver says, "Neither of them do. They only care about themselves and donors. But if it really comes down to a decision, I'll side with the Democrats because they seem to care somewhat about the middle and lower classes." Matt writes on Facebook, "They don't care about us. They only care about the bankers, the lobbyists and the special interest groups that line their pockets. Both parties are bought and paid for." Kirk in Minnesota writes, "On a scale of one to ten, minus 37."
