Higher murder rates. Dangerous. Terrible education systems. Rampant drug use. High unemployment. High poverty.

What does this say about Democrats when they control the government?

Throw in San Franfreako, and Hollywood...and NO WAY would I want my neighborhood like any of them.



Amerika...if you cannot even SPELL it, then you OBVIOUSLY know nothing about it. Why is it that where we have the strictest gun control laws, we have higher crime rates than those places with NO gun control laws? Answer: Because in those places with strict gun control, only criminals have guns.



dog of war...I would like a link on that one. Birmingham...DANGEROUS? Nobody there DOES anything. If someone pulled a gun on you, they would say "I am fixin' to rob you. You better start fixin' to give me your wallet." I say this as kind of a joke, but I was in Birmingham in the spring. NOTHING happens there, and DANGER??? I THINK NOT!

They have locked up those areas by pandering to minorities and creating sanctuary cities so the numbers of illegals will always be on the rise. This assures that, with such high numbers of minorities and illegals, a Republican can NEVER win.



That is also why the NY governor wanted to give illegals drivers licenses. Once they have a legal ID they can get on the voters list and vote for a Democrat, since the Democrats did them this favor. It would guarantee the state of NY to be a Democratic stronghold.



Dirty politics. Dirty politicians. Sacrificing our nations heritage and culture just to stay in office.

Actually, crime rates in those areas are fairly low--and declining. Crime rates in cities like Atlanta, Houston, etc--controlled by Republicans-are higher-adn rising. National violent crime rates fell under Clinton-but are rising under the Bush administration.



So--I'll take the Democrats, thank you.



Oh--BTW--10 of the 12 states (all blue states) that have banned te death penalty have LOWER than average homicide rates.



Those are the real figures from the FBI--not right-winghype.

What this shows is when a great number of poor urban people are placed in one place there will be crime. With the availability of guns they become violent crimes. Poor people vote for the people who support them, just like rich people. Since the only politicians concerned with the poor and working Americans are Democrats, they are elected mayor's in these cities.

Mike Bloomberg of NYC was a registered Rep who converted to Independent recently before him Giuliani was the Republican Mayor of NYC. Dems havent controlled NYC in a long time.

No, that is why I moved out to the country.



When democrats control something, taxes go up, spending goes up, waste is rampant, and it is not a great place to live.

Our government, all events risk-free, has forgotten our origins. we could desire to get out and vote in primaries and elections. no longer for the candidate that provides you us issues, for the candidate who has the coronary heart to decline, that's hurting us, we could desire to decelerate. The stressful area would be getting the those with that lots experience to circulate into government interior the 1st place. A newspaper columnist named Murchison wrote this in the previous the elections (i think of in 04?) "Murchison's regulation: no individual who desires to be President could desire to be allowed interior 25 miles of the Whitehouse." i like it!!!

it is people who are doing this, it makes no difference

if republican or democrats control the area.

do you think republican controlled areas are crime free?

criminals are criminals and will break the law no matter

what party is in office.

trying to blame the democrats for all of the above is

downright silly.
