Detroit-a shining example of the one party rule Democrats want for the US

[Boris The Animal]

Detroit had not had a Republican mayor since the 1960s. And as a result of the stranglehold that Leftist Democrats have had on that city, we've all seen the outcome. I say we should let Detroit rot to the ground as a shining example of what unchecked Liberalism has done. Now, idiots like Cigar think that would be all peachy.

[Chris]

And you wonder why there's opposition to liberals running the country into the ground.

And you wonder why there's opposition to liberals running the country into the ground.I have the same problem here in Buffalo. We haven't had a Republican in City Hall since 1965. And it's little wonder why Buffalo is consistently ranked as the third poorest city in the country.

It does not matter whether you have had a Republican mayor on the past 50 years or so, liberals will still blame Republican policies for Buffalo being in the position it's in. Just read our past thread on Detroit. Our local libs here still found a way to place the blame on Republican policies even thought Detroit has been controlled by libs for decades. They have no shame and can do this while believing their own bullshit.
In all my years, I have learned that no matter what the circumstances, it will always be the Republican's fault. Much like obama's sequester idea.

Much like obama's sequester idea.Oh, I concur. the only Democrat mayor that I actually liked was James D. Griffin. He was a staunch Conservative and didn't care who's enemies lists he made. The fights between him, (school superintendent) Eugene Reville, and (Common Council Presidents) George Arthur & James Pitts were legendary. But he cared more about the people of the City of Buffalo. Hence his four consecutive terms in office. As an added bonus, his Conservatism not only pulled the city out of insolvency caused by Stan Makowski, but Buffalo thrived under his leadership.

how about wondering why every time the right runs things they send us into a recession.

So the left running cities like Detroit and Buffalo, and states like Kalifornia into the ground is soooo much preferable, then?

WOW truer words were never spoken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If GWB would have had the balls to stand up to Christopher I did not know I got a 1% mortgage Dodd (D) and Barney the banking Queen Franks (D) as well as the congressional black caucus (D)

And ended the polices of Carter, given Teeth by Clinton and Reno! http://cw.ua.edu/2011/11/17/clint-carter-policies-true-reason-for-housing-bubble/

We may not have been able to head off the recession but we sure the hell would have been in better shape than we are now!

[Boris The Animal]

Why?Because Leftist scum like him and Jillian think that Liberalism is clean and pure as the wind driven snow.

And here is the funny part

THE ONLY STATE ON THE LIST THAT IS IN THE TOP TEN IN LIKELY TO GO BROKE IS LA. AND OF COURSE THEY UP UNTIL RECENTLY HAVE BEEN OWNED BY THE DEMOCRATS.

But if you look at the states in trouble they are all democratic strong holds

http://www.thedailybeast.com/galleries/2010/06/14/50-states-in-debt.html#slide10

So the states that don't have a lot of money can manage it because most of them are controlled by republicans, the rich states are gong broke?

Because they are run by liberals. I think that is funny as shit!

Yes, Reps can ruin America just as the Dems can. The logical conclusion ought to be to throw all the bums out.

Not all debt is a bad thing. Do you make a mortgage payment?

Not any more! but yes I once believed it debt, I have changed my mind!

And the city's and states that are listed have no way to pay their future bills! They are going broke, the poor states are not!

A mortgage payment is certainly debt. The question is whether you are gaining or losing equity.
