Democrats keeping big cities in poverty?

I have many times thought about this, but have not yet seen it put down in writing. Most major U.S. cities are Democrat controlled, and have been for nearly 30 years. And, look where it has gotten them.

I know Glenn Beck is a biased twit, but this article is pretty factual, and makes a bit of sense. The types of people that live in the big cities like Democrats. Look where it has gotten them.

Commentary: The poverty of Democrats' ideas for cities - CNN.com

Chicago has been Democrat since 1931... 77 years. And, there ain't no signs of it changin'.

The last Republican elected was in 1950. Downtown & the college areas - U of M Flint and Kettering - get a lot of attention. The North and East sides get ignored. They're in the process of turning a flop house near downtown into apartments with rents starting at $960.00 per month. There's another hotel downtown that's been empty for 30+ years. They're spending 21 million to "Remove asbestos and hopefully make it easier to sell to a developer". I ain't saying the politicians in power are connected to the developers doing all the work, but........

BTW, the North's primarily black & the East is about 50% Hispanic. I live in the near North.

Seriously? I'd like to stay and fight.

hmm, this is weird. I just took a look at Forbes‘ 2005 list of the ten U.S. cities with the highest median incomes, and then checked out the political affiliation of the mayor of each: 1. San Jose, Calif. - Chuck Reed (D)
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?
