I’ve been saying that for years, that these are cities where every Liberal dream has become reality.You can show them cold hard evidence of something and they are like crack addicts in denial. You are trying to use reason with Idiots. But you are absolutely correct,

Democrats keep feeding the sheep. The so called conservative wolves have to pay the taxes while the sheep are taken care of. If you have enough sheep, you can never vote for change, it is inevitable that they will keep voting to be taken care of.
They do not realize they are losing their respect, their honour, their will to survive on their own. There is high crime when their is a lack of knowledge of good and evil, a low esteem, a lack of respect for one another.
This is the real problem facing America today. They do not teach your children a survival skill! Welfare states beget more welfare, it is simple as that.

It is amazing how they keep voting Democrat despite the poor results. Just look at the "war on poverty". We’ve been pumping money and more money into it for over 50 years and it never seems to get better. Generation after generation on welfare, no incentives to get out of it only more incentives to stay on welfare.
Same thing with high taxes. People from the Northeast have been moving South to Atlanta, Charlotte, etc., where the taxes are lower. They get to the South and what do they do? They vote Democrat, for the same politicians they were fleeing from.
I don’t get it.

Why do red states with such large numbers of rural poor have such poor health and education outcomes? The Red states generally site at the bottom for both.
Why do these people KEEP on voting GOP despite the facts?

Reason
You have probably asked one of the most pertinent questions in ages.
The people who vote these corrupt people into office are morons.
Plain and simple.
You have crooked bums ruining these cities while lining their pockets.
On the other hand you have leftists in the school systems that are indoctrinating children with a mindset of TOLERANCE.
You do not ruin a country overnight it takes time and patience.
The teachers union is one of the most powerful unions in the country and which political party do you think their support goes to?
Hey Reason,
it is good to be able to respond to a question posted by someone who has got a clue as to what is going on.

You know i can find a whole bunch of statistics and websites that support how evil and counter productive the republican party is.
Two can play at that game.
Btw, dont you think calling yourself reason is just a little pretentious? who do you think you are reasonable too? yourself? other conservatives? please….
My answer is simply an illustration of the tactics you are using. You think republican/conservative policys are squeaky clean? think again. Watch this space, i will find plenty of stats.

Then look at NYC before and then after Rudy Giuliani took office.
It was like night and day. It went from one the most dangerous cities in the country per capita, to one of the safest.
It’s a perfect demonstration that "their" way is so successful. I am sure there is a tremendous amount of pride for the job well done. I bet one of these community organizers will take the successes like these and get elected president some day. Oh wait he did. God help us all.
