Don’tchyaloveit?
They assume the voting trend indicates racial discrimination.
Does anyone consider that once blacks move in and start voting democrat LIKE THEY GENERALLY DO (with rare exception)then the voting trend of that city changed even though the other residents still vote the same way?
And when liberals start winning elected positions and start screwing everything up, LIKE THEY ALWAYS DO, the conservative voters start looking elsewhere?
So sure - there may be a racial aspect here - but not exactly they way they’re thinking.
I love Seattle, but we really need someone like Gulliani to come in here and clean it up.
Nice to see Colorado Springs high on the conservative list. That’s one of our possible retirement destinations.
“With all the phantom employees and voters in Camden, Im sure it is well over 100,000.”
LOL You’ve got that right!!
“concentrated parasite nests”
CPN bump. Great choice of words.
“decaying bastion of liberalism”
Another great phrase... bump. DBL.
Color me disappointed. I live in Arlington, TX and we are only #14 on the list, have to do better than that.
Sorry I didn’t reply. I had to go to work at 5 am to do shutdown type plumbing and electrical work at a bar, before it opened at 11 a.m. so that the state and feds can take half of everything I make, deflate my life earning through printing money by another half, and put me on a conservative, gun owning, political active, Tea Party street demonstration, Constitution quoting terrorist list.
Also, I couldn't help but notice that the top, liberal city is one that liberals want to bulldoze.
We like San Diego. I don’t know where the city ranks, we’re in Oceanside. The county in general has a lot of retired and active duty military. At least, keeps us from going to far left. Then there’s the ocean.
Hoboken is now filled with wealthy Yuppies, while Jersey City has condos on the waterfront that cost over a million. The Heights and Journal Square are rather dumpy, but nowhere near as bad as Greenville or most of Newark.
San Diego city and San Diego County voted for Obama. Dominated by smug a-sholes, despite the military presence.
You aren’t suggesting that Detroit is mismanaged, are you ?
There is a ‘critical mass’ of welfare recipients in any city .. beyond which the middle class is taxed to death to support, and just leave. Whatever conservatives/traditionalists/middle class that once lived in Detroit bolted decades ago. Same with all the other top liberal cities (except the college towns). We have become more segregated rather than less since the ‘60’s
“Interesting California had the most, “Most Liberal” (4) 3 north, 1 south
And California had the most “Most Conservative (7) all south
Break up California in to Northern and Southern and the Southern part has a chance “
We’re trying! That is misleading. The Northern end (above San Fran) of the State is staunchly conservative, but sparsely populated. LA should have been on the most liberal list.

I guess you don’t live here. Judging San Diego to be liberal by the vote belies the day-to-day evidence. Here’s a tip, if you think San Diego is a liberal place, stay away. We’re almost full from all those liberal retired military who come here and decide to stay.
Common characteristics of "liberal cities":
1. High crime
2. High taxes
3. High unemployment
4. High welfare participation
5. Extensive corruption
6. Rotten public schools
7. Population loss and abandoned areas
Common characteristics of "conservative cities":
1. Relatively low crime rates
2. Relatively low taxes
3. Relatively high employment
4. Relatively low welfare participation
5. Only moderate corruption
6. Functional public schools
7. Economic health and population growth.
Now, based on simple observation, how could one possibly contend that liberalism improves the state of the governed? It has failed everywhere it's been tried...
It’s kind of ironic that those die-hard Dems in the Lehigh Valley are exactly the folks Obama was dissing to the San Francisco crowd. The Dems I know in Allentown are big on keeping their guns, clinging to their God and religion. But you can bet your bottom dollar they voted for BHO.
they probably know almost jack about the issues ....they just vote Dem and have since FDR bagged em
they are still waiting on that 40 acres and a mule the radical Republicans promised them and toss in a litle hatred for crackers and you got a nice political cake
many of these Southern cities on this list were very conservative (but not GOP) before blacks moved in from rural areas en masse and whites fled to suburbs
now it's black Democrat cities surrounded by white GOP suburbs in every southern city I know of of size....only exceptions are the 2 or 3 with relatively low black populations like Nashville (25% black)(60% Dem) but the whites in Nashville proper are majority Democrat....huge northern migration here last 25 years and not the good ones...the good ones came to the suburbs not so much city proper
which I left recently btw...now in Williamson county....70% GOP...mo better
