2. Anchorage, Alaska - Mark Begich (D)
3. San Francisco, Calif. - Gavin Newsom (D)
4. Virginia Beach, Va. - Meyera E. Oberndorf (a quick search didn’t reveal her affiliation, but she donated to the Virginia Democratic Party)
5. San Diego, Calif. - Jerry Sanders (R)
6. Anaheim, Calif. - Curt Pringle (R)
7. Raleigh, N.C. - Charles Meeker (D)
8. Seattle, Wash. - Greg Nickels (D)
9. Washington, D.C. - Adrian Fenty (D)
10. Honolulu, Hawaii - Mufi Hannemann (D)
So Democrats are mayors of the poorest cities. And the richest cities. Maybe they just tend to be the mayors of bigger cities in general? Could that be the only thing we’ve really found out today, something we already knew? And did I really just waste this much time debunking Glenn Beck?

Simply showing that the median income for those cities does not address the proverty issue raised by Glenn. You could have a city that has a lower median income, but the % of population below the poverty line is lower too. Who ever made that blog entry needs to take stat 101.

Democrat policy of handouts and entitlements creates more problems than it solves. The wealthy dems are happy to pay higher taxes to let someone else take care of the problems and the lower class dems (no pun) line up like good sheeple for the handout.

I do have to add that both sides of the aisle pander like hell. I am sick and tired of it. They act like the government is your daddy and the reason for this being a great country. Just say no when it comes to more government.
