New Orleans and Ray Nagin not make the list?

Shocking list huh.. Liberalism has been such a disaster. Everywhere it's tried it fails horribly. Yet you still get these retards trumping it. They put the same liberal fools right back into office year after year. The stupidity is incredible.

One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting a different result. This is why LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER

"I think the best way of doing good to the poor is not making them easy in poverty but leading them or driving them out of it." - Benjamin Franklin.

Franklin would be considered a right-wing radical for stating such a mission today.

Bump.. Dumb liberals hate facts.

 

[Sekrah]

Not a surprise that Liberals don't want anywhere near this thread.

I would hide from my record too if it looked like that.

I'm not doubting the info, but would like to see the source.

I thought Mayor Races are Nonpartisan... at least thats how its suppose to be... man smarty pants... did they elect a democrat mayor either??

 

[JudgeWapner]

Also conversely I guess the richest cities have Republican mayors.

 

[Bjizzle06]

This list is bullshit. New Orleans and Baltimore have the cockroaches trying to get out, and they didn't make the top ten? Sean Hannity obviously came up with this list.

 

[Georgiaboy]

Mayor races aren't nonpartisan. See Chicago Illinois

Baltimore hasn't had a Republican mayor in 50 years - since before Pelosi's daddy was mayor.

Long time no see JW.....

US census:

Page 31 in the PDF

As far as the mayors its true as well....just go to Wikipedia and put "list of mayors" and the city......they will come up.

The inverse is not exactly true as I see SF among the top cities on the good list.

Baltimore is a shit hole... New Oreans is a shit hole... Newark NJ is a shit hole... Detroit is a shit hole... Much of Washington DC is a shit hole...

There is more than 1 common thread that ties these cities together.

 

[JudgeWapner]

Sup Base. Good to see you around. Thanks for the info.

Wow...So if those nine northern industrial-based cities had just elected a couple of Repub mayors, they're economies would not be in the shitter in the year 2008 as their industries have become either obsolete or relocated to warmer climates.


Who knew?

 

[C-Gold]

I notice a common theme with all of them...

:cripwalk::cripwalk:

 

[Preussen]

Are there any northern industrial-based cities with Republican mayors? If yes, how do they do?

 

[barman]

Of course

NYC has had a Republican mayor since 1992 (Giuliani followed by Bloomberg). Prior to that John Lindsay was Mayor from 1966-1973

Please share that, sir. Why keep hinting? Are you afraid that whatever you want to say will make you look like the woman at the Mccain rally?

 

[Preussen]

Of course

NYC has had a Republican mayor since 1992 (Giuliani followed by Bloomberg). Prior to that John Lindsay was Mayor from 1966-1973

And how does NYC do in terms of poverty?

 

[barman]

Depends on what part of the city you wish to reference

With a population of 8 to 9 million, there is a complete range of economic strength, including several highly populated areas with relatively dismal economics (A lot of Harlem; South Bronx, portions of both Queens and Brooklyn)

As you've likely already deduced based on the tenor of the posts within this thread, by far the leading reason why the cities cited in the lead post are economically depressed is because for between 80 to 100 years, they were all founded heavily on a manufacturing economy.

NYC, on the other hand, while it has a wide range of manufacturing, also has a virtually endless list of other industries; is the financical center for the eastern half of the USA and attracts literally hundreds of millions of out of town visitors annually.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City

Imagine Berlin x about 3 and you're getting a fair sketch.

Meanwhile, the cities listed in lead post all have populations under 1million, with most averaging about 300-400,000

When their core manufacturing industries crumbled during the mid 1980s-Today, there were far less legitimate economic opportunities within.
