Your city, jobs move to China, middle class moves out, time to end democracy?

rdeany is just a garden variety not too bright internet troll.

Which republicans have said they want to 'end democracy'? Or are you lying.... again?

I hate having to explain things to you because the peroxide has damaged the roots all the way down to the cerebellum.

When a city is taken over by an EM, the elected public officials are bypassed. They have no say. You couldn't go to your alderman and complain there are rats or your garbage isn't being removed or your street lights are out. Because there is no alderman. Not really. He has no voice. You have no voice. You are no longer living in a democracy. It's been handed over to and EM.

This is a dumb question. Did you finally get that? OK, you can take the dazed expression off your face. Or can you?

Okay, so where does this prove republicans want to end democracy?

Are you seriously implying that an event like appointing an emergency manager indicates the effect of that action on local political sway is a reasonable barometer of the tens of millions of people who would identify themselves as republican?

You seriously lack any reasonable argument to stand on if you are attempting to lean on such a ridiculous premise to argue against.

Give me a fucking break. Look at what Republicans did during the last election with voter suppression. Even many Republicans were ashamed at what their party did. It can't be denied. Anyone with Google can find out the truth. You can't undermine democracy much beyond cheating and then trying to bully the country by threatening secession.

Ka-Ching!

Chuck, Chuck, Chuck! Did you see Deany's latest post? OMFG! I laughed so hard I let a little tinkle out

Dave, paying him to post at USMB to embarrass Liberal was one of the best ideas you've ever had!

Nearly half of blacks in Michigan will be without the right to vote. Nearly half.

Someone is going to have a lot of 'splainin' to do.

 

[whitehall]

What is it with lefties? Are they dyslexic or just stoopid? Thanks to O-blam-a's incoherent foreign and domestic policies we are in hock to China big time. If the Hussein administration would allow the US to be independent of foreign oil we might have a chance but for now the Hussein administration has made sure that union organization crooks will have a big retirement paycheck even when they run American companies into bankruptcy.

Mitt Romney's Bain Capital outsourcing Illinois jobs in Freeport to China -

2.4 million jobs lost due to China from 2001-2008

The Chinese funded Chamber of Commerce gives to Republicans 10 to 1 over Democrats. We learned that from the last election. The Chamber gave seminars across the US teaching business how to outsource to China the entire time Bush was president.

Why do you guys keep blaming Obama and the Democrats? The Dow proves it's not Obama. Remember, the Dow crashed under Bush.

Children under the age of 18 can't vote in any state, bub.

Huh?

 

[rdean]

How many of those cities taken over by Republican EM's have gotten out of debt and been turned back over to democracy?

How many scandals so far?

Republicans can't help ripping off America. Look at the opportunity that was Iraq. Rich Americans made out. Profited from a war they never paid for.

I get so tired of these USMB right wingers pointing to Detroit and making a racial issue out of it.

Detroit once had the highest per capita of any large city in the US. More than 2 million people lived there. While jobs were slowly being drained to other states, it was the devastating years from 2001 to 2008 that really put the nail in the coffin. Not only did middle class whites leave, but so did middle class blacks. From 2 million to a just reported LESS than 7000,000. A loss of two thirds.

And nationwide, millions of jobs were moved to China. The Chamber of Commerce put together seminars nationwide to teach people how to outsource to China.

Foreign companies can contribute to the Chamber of Commerce’s 501c(6) account, which the organization uses to fund political ads. (from the last election, we know the Chamber of Commerce gave to the GOP 10 to 1 over Democrats. Try to figure out why.)

So Republicans insist we need to end democracy in these cities because many of their policies have ruined them. That means they know how to "save" them? Just saying that sounds ludicrous. And for whites who think they are "safe"? Think again. 4 of the 10 cities targeted have white majorities.

And the worst part, the short time Republicans have been undermining democracy in Michigan, the EM program has been plagued with scandal. Managers giving themselves huge salaries. One company contracts were funneled to recently had a 26 count indictment from Justice Department. That's just the beginning.

Does anything think a bunch of white Republicans care about a bunch of poor black people? Remember "let him die"? "Feed the poor and they will breed"? And look what the GOP did in 8 years under Bush. Pretty much raped the country. Yes, and that means poor white Republicans were also slammed.

We don't solve problems in this country by taking away democracy. And we don't solve problems by blaming poor people who have been royally screwed. So Republicans please correct me. Does it say in the constitution it's OK to abolish democracy is things aren't "working out"?

I have never heard them make a racist issue out of it at all. A liberal Democrat issue for sure but never a racial one.

 

[westwall]

Oh... But that mass exodus from all of these Democrat majority cities, is strictly because of white republican racism. Yep, people are leaving democrat cities because of an incredibly tiny minority of racist white people who are forcing them out. What a fabulously stupid OP.

It's weenie...what did you expect?

WTF are you talking about Willis? Obama has taken us further down the fascist road faster than anyone in living memory.

Lucky for you.

For the Republican Party, being 90% white, it's ALL about race. Didn't one of their leaders finally come out and say the "black man" in the "White House" must be stopped or some such nonsense?

Ain't that the truth. Of course I think old weenie would figure out how to flounder in a bath tub.
