Do we have to say anymore about the integrity and intelligence of inner city voters, or Democratic voters in general.
We have shown time and time again how they tolerate poor behavior...this guy just passed a recall with over 65% of the vote...
And I am positive he would win an election held tomorrow...maybe with 70%

The last comment and link I made in the McGee arrested thread still stands.
Tom DeLay indicted! Do we have to say anymore about the integrity and intelligence of Texas voters, or Republican voters in general?
Bob Ney in jail! Do we have to say anymore about the integrity and intelligence of Ohio voters, or Republican voters in general?
Duke Cnningham in jail! Do we have to say anymore about the integrity and intelligence of California voters, or Republican voters in general?

Yeah, it sounds just as stupid when I do it.
Did any of these votes happen in a RECALL???
Let me get this straight, you are comparing Tom DeLay to Michael (Jackson) McGee???
That shows how out of touch with reality liberals can be...
Lets see all the things voters knew about McGee BEFORE the recall...
Been arrested twice in the year up to the election...
Threatened to "kill a bitch" IN COURT...
Caught with TWO social security cards and TWO drivers licenses...
And you are putting THAT on the same level as a man who served his people very well then was indicted LATER...and how long ago was that? Did he get convicted yet?
The fact that Jay even for a second believes Tom DeLay or any of these men are even in the same league as McGee shows a blindness, an obvious hatred for the "R"...
It's human nature to defend those whom you usually agree with, but democrat support of their own boarders on the manic. Did I say "boarders on the"? I should have said "is".
No, Game. My point is simply that you are making generalizations about not just voters in a particular aldermanic districts but about Democrats in general (and that based on a non-partisan election). And generalizations like that are stupid.
And while, for example, Duke Cunninghamn never threatened to "kill that bitch," he did bilk the US taxpayesr out of billions in cozy defense contracts to the friends that bribed him with houses, boats, hookers, drugs, and money. And voters re-elected him while he was under investigation.
But I don't take that to mean Republicans in general--or even the Republicans who voted for him--support that kind of behavior. You're using one particular nitwit to smear an entire political party (a party that does not even claim him). That's uncalled for, and, indeed, stupid.
And, blamin, I defy you to find any elected Democrat or party official providing unwarranted support for McGee.
okay Jay,
then admit that the people of his district are insane...
and I would like to point out that Jay atleast makes calm points that are thought out and have some sort of reason...not saying they are correct most of the time, but he doesn't just throw out names or not even address the issue
Jay,
The "elected" Democrats have the luxury of not giving public support. The voters is what I was refering to.
It also bears pointing out, again, that democrats have demonstrated they're more likely to vote in an indicted or convicted politician.
Why do you suppose that is?
"It also bears pointing out, again, that democrats have demonstrated they're more likely to vote in an indicted or convicted politician."
Really? Where are your statistics on that?
Actual results from actual elections. That's all.
Do you know how to goog?
blamin, McGee holds a non-partisan office. He was indeed elected from an area that, in partisan elections, often votes Democratic. But the support he enjoys is not partisan support, but rather community support. It isn't "Democrats" or even "Democratic voters" who are out there supporting him in this, but rather community members. As I said, the party doesn't claim him, and I don't see anyone who represents the party defending him.
And, frankly, from reading the press reports, it doesn't sound like very many people are supporting him at all--only a couple outiside the courthouse and one or two in. Even his big-mouth election-recall attorney has been silent since his arrest Monday. It kind of sounds like he's been abandoned.
Perhaps, blamin, since you don't seem to live here (your profile says "Eastern seaboard," although I suppose it could be out of date), you are not fully aware of who McGee is, who his supporters are, or the current dynamic. That's understandable. But I think it would behoove you to avoid the wild generalizations and assumptions if you don't.
Jay,
Like many Democrats who only look at DNC Talking points, you haven't seen that DeLay was indicted by a highly partisan and highly political Democrat DA. Most of the charges have been thrown out and truth be told, the DA in question should be up on charges of Grand Jury shopping and the same fundraising charges he got indictments on DeLay as this DA did the same exact actions, but being the DA, he isn't going to indict himself.
As to the voters of Milwaukee, did you look at the link I posted in the "McGee Arrested" post, because if you did, you didn't read with comprehension.
pcd, check you scalp. My point apparently went right over your head, and I'd hate it if you ended up as bald as I am over it.
lol...I'm working on joining you there...
Jay,
Check your partisanship at the door. You want to defend the Democrats protecting Murtha from a flagarant Ethics violation in the US House?
Again, did you ever work in a polling place? Or are you just pontificating without experience again?
As usual, Democrats try to defend themselves by insisting we shouldn't judge the 1% of Democrats with non-relative ethics based on the actions of the other 99%.
Sheesh.
Jason,
I'll challenge you on the 1% figure. The way the Democrats I've seen in CT, WI, CA, NV, AZ, and IA, there may be only 10% that are honest individuals.
Well, pcd, you're more charitable than I am.
;)
jay,
So, the "community supports him"?
Non-partisan, and all that jazz!
For some reason, I just don't see that many avowed Republicans in the inner city.
I could be wrong though. Think you can find the name of the two Republicans that voted for him and made this a "non-partisian" election?
