The former Louisiana congressman who famously hid $90,000 cash in his
freezer following an FBI bribery sting was sentenced to 13 years in
prison Friday, the longest term ever imposed on a congressman
convicted of bribery.

New Orleans voted a crooked politician back in even knowing he was
crooked? Why is it that the Democrat's voting base keeps doing this?
Can you say Marion Barry?

Maybe during Katrina, they got what they deserved from their Democrat
Mayor and Governor. I wonder if they've learned anything.



To answer your last question. No, they don't seem to learn.

The Democrats have contributed greatly to the poor - by keeping them
poor.

Interesting........
City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level
1. Detroit, MI 32.5%
2. Buffalo, NY 29..9%
3. Cincinnati, OH 27.8%
4. Cleveland, OH 27.0%
5. Miami, FL 26.9%
5. St. Louis, MO 26.8%
7. El Paso, TX 26.4%
8. Milwaukee, WI 26.2%
9. Philadelphia, PA 25.1%
10. Newark, NJ 24.2%

What do the top ten cities (over 250,000) with the highest poverty
rate all have in common? Democrat mayors.


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.

thing over and over again and expecting different results.'
