What do the top ten cities with the highest poverty rate all have in common?

Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961
Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn't elected one since 1954
Cincinnati, OH (3rd)...since 1984
Cleveland, OH (4th)...since 1989
Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican mayor
St. Louis, MO (6th)....since 1949
El Paso, TX (7th) has never had a Republican mayor;
Milwaukee, WI (8th)...since 1908;
Philadelphia, PA (9th)...since 1952;
Newark, NJ (10th)...since 1907.

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing
over and over again and expecting different results.'

It is the disadvantaged who habitually elect Democrats --- yet they are still disadvantaged.

(of course DC was not on the list but we won't go there either...need I remind you of Marion Berry?....almost, well actually did break the city....was a crack head....etc...)
 
LOL oh Mark.

Why do we insist on stirring up the simmering stew?

So when are we coming to see your new place for a mega-convention?

PICS PICS PICS DAMN IT!

Personally your kitchen and electrical service have piqued my curiosity!

Stay well and be a good little gi...er guy!
 
You know...toggles..

...that you all are welcome to come visit anytime (and that means Democrats too) you would like. I'm still trying to get moved in, but every corner presents a new challenge. Found out last Sunday that the sewer line had never been run OR connected. So....had to run a line half the length of the property, almost 3 acres, to the home across the street, and under the road.....UGH.....what next. Some guys are going to be here this weekend to help get the stuff out of the warehouse, to the garages, so I can go through the machines that I have. Some of which, are still in the crates from YEARS ago and I can't even remember what's in them!!! Hopefully before next year ends we'll have a hell of a wash-in! Mark
 
also toggles...

am waiting on the marble guy to get my kitchen countertops, Master bath, etc...done so I can post good pictures...did I mention the Master shower seats 8? Mark

Yeah, disadvantaged people are just so stupid.

From race baiting to poor bashing.

Here in California the Republican Party is pretty close to extinct. And politically, California leads the rest of the country by about five years.

Best of luck in next month's elections.
 
Huh, where is the logic?

Strange how come Minneapolis isn't on this list? We haven't had a republican mayor since 1961. We're one the bluest and most liberal cities in the country. The city council is made up of all Democrats and Green Party members, the mayor is a total liberal Democrat as well. He was just at a gay wedding reception that I attended as well... He was mingling with some drag queens. I am totally proud to say my district in the last election voted the first Muslim (YAY for something different, too many Christians if you ask me) into congress (Keith Ellison). Keith was totally for gay rights so he got my vote as well.

According to this logic we should be awash in slums and poverty, which we are not. What we do have is a highly educated population, ah that might explain it.
 
Ummm, Mark, in spite of our political differences can I reserve one of those shower seats? And will those guys who are helping you out this weekend be occupying any of them???
 
Pink elephants on parade

Top 5 Republican Sex scandals - some light reading from "the other side".

Mark Foley - U.S. Representative
(September 28, 2006)

The Crime: Sending sexually laced, gramatically challenged instant messages and e-mails to teenaged boys in the Congressional page program for more than 10 years.

The Hypocrisy: Chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children. One of the foremost opponents of child pornography in the Senate.

The Quote: “get a ruler and measure it for me”

Ted Haggard - Leader of the National Association of Evangelicals (November 2006)

The Crime: Paying male prostitutes for sex and snorting crystal meth.

The Hypocrisy: A powerful force in the evangelical movement, Haggard participated in weekly meetings with President George Bush and top advisors where he gave spiritual advice. He taught that homosexuality was an abomination and actively lobbied against gay rights.

The Quote: “I did not have a homosexual relationship with a man in Denver.”

Larry Craig - U.S. Senator
Senate Liason for Mitt Romney’s Presidential Campaign
(June 11, 2007)

The Crime: Soliciting sex from an undercover cop in an airport bathroom

The Hypocrisy: Craig twice voted against adding the words “sexual orientation” to the federal hate crimes law. Craig also voted to give states the right to refuse to recognize gay marriage–a right they already had, but the Senator wanted to really, really prove he didn’t like gay people.

The Quote: “I am not gay, I don’t do these kinds of things.”

Bob Allen - Member of the Florida House of Representatives
Florida Chairman of John McCain’s Presidential Campaign
(July 11, 2007)

The Crime: Offering an undercover cop $20 to allow Allen to blow him in a men’s room in a public park. After being arrested, Allen tried to explain that he only offered to blow the cop because the cop was a “burly black man” and he “didn’t want to become a statistic.”

The Hypocrisy: Allen was one of 21 Florida legislators to sign Gov. Jeb Bush’s friend-of-the-court brief supporting the state’s ban on gays adopting children, and he co-sponsored an unsuccessful bill that would have enhanced penalties for “offenses involving unnatural and lascivious acts” such as indecent exposure.

The Quote: “I certainly wasn’t there to have sex with anybody and certainly wasn’t there to exchange money for it.”

Glenn Murphy Jr. - National Chairman of the Young Republicans
Chairman of the Clark County Republican Party
(July 28, 2007)

The Crime: Murphy got a fellow Young Republican drunk and then spent the night at his house. The other young man woke up in the middle of the night to find Murphy giving him mouth-to-penis resuscitation. After this incident, a 1998 sexual battery report came to light in which Murphy was alleged to have done the exact same thing.

The Hypocrisy: Murphy was a well-paid political consultant for Republican candidates and often advised them to use gay marriage as a wedge issue to paint their opponents as out of touch with traditional values.

The Quote: “I was in the Sound of Music in High School…don’t ask” (from his now-defunct Myspace page.)
 
again.....

just the facts girls. These are the top ten cities in THE US WITH THE HIGHEST POVERTY RATES. And Robert, Muslims ARE different. They would like to see our kind (gays that is) put to death... so yea, go ahead and vote for one....eventually you and everyone else, will see what happens to the rights that we have worked so hard for thus far. Mark it down. Mark
 
oh honey she has more hook-ups than cable!

LOL the shower sounds intriguing. I bet a lot more could fit in standing, eh?

Odd about the sewer. I have heard plenty of stories where one pays for a hook-up (*lol* pardon the expression) and it does not happen!

BTW there are things that have a statistically significant link exist all over the place, but CAUSE AND EFFECT are not able to be shown/proven.

Interestingly the super, uber, ultra mega, filth-rich wealthy become extremely philathropic and you know...the D word in political party affiliations.
 
ok boys...

estatesale - let's not get into the sexual thing
1. Kennedy with Marilyn
2. Kennedy and Mary Jo
3. Clinton - I did not have sex.....
and the list goes on.....
PUHLEEEZE
JeffG - Race baiting and poor bashing??? You can surely do better than that.
And exactly what is California 5 years ''ahead'' in?
Dealing with illegal aliens? Prunes? Raisins? etc...
 
Mark, saying that all Muslims want to put gay people to death is utterly preposterous. You have no idea what you are talking about. It seems that everything you learned you learned in a bigoted Christian church and that makes me sad.

Oh now isn't this interesting. Here is a list of poverty levels by WHOLE STATE (not just a few selected cities) in the USA. #1 has the highest poverty, #50 has the lowest. The states marked in red are red states that elected Bush in '04, the states marked in blue had elected Kerry in '04. 'nuff said...

~Muslims ARE different. They would like to see our kind (gays that is) put to death..

Interesting in that when the Muslim women are infubulated (which includes IIRC sewn shut) where do you think the men are sticking it?

The other interesting thing about the Arab cultures is that if you are a top (bugaron en Espanol, buggerer in English) you are a man; if you are a bottom you are gay.

Now there is a group that is TRULY hung up on their own (boiling-blood?) sexuality. [even more than us English-speakign puritans]. It is to the point that their religion tells the women- cover your hair and head; you are too sexy for your men and tempt them. Yeah blame THEM for men's hot-blooded instincts.

BTW I heard that Muslim women are circumcised (removal of cl*t) because it is SO big that they resemble penises, (offensive to the men) and that they would get crazy aroused just through normal walking and such. Of course it ensures faithfulness if women get NOTHING out of physical relations....

ooh another dissertation. OOPSIE
We now return to our regulary scheduled programme.....

Have no fear of being hated. Everyone hates everyone. It's what limited minds do.
 
~No bar soap in the shower for Toggles he'll be constantly dropping it.

LOL Is that a Greek joke or a Gay joke?

LOL My college roomate (and who was the mornon that put me in the jock dorm, anyway?) insited upon using Ivory brand liquid soap in the shower. I just HAD to laugh at a big macho footall player slathering that liquid all over himself. Do you have any idea what that stuff resembles? *FAINTS DEAD AWAY*
 
Well isn't this interesting

New Hampshire rates at 50. We are the state with the least amount of poverty? Well we are a pretty small state with a small population. I guess from people I have talked with, we also have about the worst welfare system or the best however you want to look at it. People can't afford to stay on welfare so they either get a job or move out of state. You are only allowed to stay on welfare for so long. You can work part time but your welfare is lowered. They provide you with job listings for you to fine work. You have to go on interviews and report back. The employer also has to notify welfare that they came in for an interview. No worky no payee. I guess they are trying and making progress that no family goes without but also that we don't have generations of familes staying on welfare. We also don't tie into the moral of another child and you welfare check goes up. What you get is what you get doesn't matter how many you pop out.
