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

Democrat mayors.

Interesting. Not that the Democrat city governments have anything to
do with it.

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.

You've gone so far over the edge I'm surprised you haven't accused the
liberals of using the Clowart-Pivin strategy........
By the way, those conservatives at the town hall meetings that you and
Scotty say were just concerned citizens? Did you happen to see Hannity
last night? They had the guy on that "organized" them, and in HIS words,
"to disrupt the town hall meetings" so that nothing gets accomplished.

What's 'over the edge' about the statistics presented. Care to comment
on them?

No, I didn't watch Hannity. I don't like his show.
