Einstein once said: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.:
Yet the disadvantaged habitually elect Democrats - yet remain
disadvantaged.
Edit: We could add a state to the list of cities that are stuck on stupid: California. Through the 80s and 90s the State of California had relatively good government, with two Republican governors servings eight years each - Pete Wilson and George Deukmajian - even though the Democrats had growing majorities in the legislature.
Then Gray Davis, Democrat, was elected, and with a Democratic governor and democratic legislature, spending got out of control, the state was/is perpetually on verge of bankruptcy, and Gray Davis was recalled, midway into his second term.
That gave California a nominally Republican governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Unfortunately for the citizens of California, the teachers' and other government employee unions mounted an anti-Arnold TV campaign, shortly after he took office, with commercials airing nightly for six or eight months calling Arnold a liar, accusing him of destroying the school system, etc, et al.
After the government employee unions had spent between $60 and $70 million on their anti-Arnold campaign, Arnold caved, even the Terminator couldn't hold up to the left-wing onslaught. Now California is facing a $40 billion shortfall, and the left-wingers are raising taxes and fees on everything in sight. They will end up driving more businesses out of California, as Gray Davis did, and dig themselves into an even deeper hole.
On a much, much larger scale than the cities mentioned above, California Democrats are "stuck on stupid."

PUBLIC OPINION > Chris Christie Should Stay a Republican
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has been at the center of media coverage for a while now. But more recently, the buzz has been about his proclaimed political party -- and whether or not he should change it.
I know this is your opinion - no matter how racist or wrong it it.
""Thanks to Glen Beck of CNN for the following info:""
another fat lie - glen the nutt beck did not research or make the info.
he got it from somewhere else.

I see many lies and many deceptions
You really need to wake up and smell the roses, Dennis - the Democrats are not the friends of minorities! One has only to look at the welfare state that existed before the Republicans forced welfare reform on Clinton in the 90s. Women on welfare, on AFDC, were stuck in a never-ending cycle, with as many as three generations of women living together and getting welfare. You need to read Star Parker's writings - she's "been there and done that" and knows that what the Democrats do is keep people down, rather than empowering them to do the best they can.
You know what, Dennis, I think that if I met you I would like you! But what you really have to get rid of is your automatic response that any opinion with wich you don't agree is "racist." I do not for a minute believe that Glenn Beck is a racist - if I did I would never watch him. I am not a regular watcher, or listener, by the way, but occasionally tune in to see what he is up to.
If you look at some of the republican state ?
Like Alabama ? You will see where it is at when it comes to unemployment.
Let's talk about Alabama ... a republican state ... at the very top of the list for unemployment
and at the same time the governor is sending $13 MILLION of the JOB STIMULUS MONEY to another state.
You still haven't discussed the point of the post, that the ten top cities with the highest poverty rates are all governed by Democrats, and have been so governed for a long time! Coincidence?
I blogs an article
http://www.sodahead.com/other...
look and see for the whole state
not just some cities .... see who the highest level of povery rests.
in the most racist states in AMERICA
mississippi, louisiana, alabama and I will let you see the rest.
I suspect that if you look at West Virginia you would see a high level of poverty, too, with a high percentage uneducated whites - race has little to do with it. The cities with the high levels of poverty, on the other hand, (with the exception of El Paso and Miami) are in the industrial North!
I really can't understand why you are so vehemently defending Democrats, it was actually Republicans who helped LBJ get the Civil Rights Act passed back in the 60s - Al Gore's father, a senator at the time, voted against it!
P.S. What are you doing up at this hour, it must be close to 2:00 am where you are?
ha ha ha ha - I won't go into why the education is low
because you will know my answer
"""you can't ascribe their poverty to racism alone. ""
I bet I can tie it to it.

I'm putting together a CD Cover for a client .....
making a Realistic Fire Place to composite a real photo of the singer into it.
searching for fire places for inspiration ... I hope to have it done in about an hour.
I just found a nice fireplace to replicate
have a good one.
but he didn't discover them
they were out way before he put them on his web site.
he's not the one who was the first to know this is all I'm saying
glorifying him for something he didn't do is a no no in my book.
I don't hate glen beck - I feel sorry for him - but I don't hate him - or no one else.
you treat him like if it wasn't for him ?
no one would know about this information.
like he discovered this information when he didn't ......
Crediting a site for information used in a blog is hardly "glorifying" the site!
How did the fireplace turn out?
waiting on input from SH's and the client .....
I blogged it
