Comments on: Should Detroit Hold The November Election? http://rightvoices.com/2005/10/31/should-detroit-hold-the-november-election/ in all matter of opinion, our adversaries are insane.

I'm out in the extreme outer 'burbs of Detroit (close enough to know what's going on, but beyond the reach of Detroit politics), and that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's odd to me that the city council has at-large representation instead of wards. You could have the entire council living on the same block or neighborhood representing the entire city. You should read some of the stories of their antics. One councilmember, who had ran for mayor against Kilpatrick, accused him of rigging her chair massager to electrocute her. This same person has almost gotten in physical altercations with other members. Several have been investigated for using public funds to hire the family members of other councilmembers for $20+/hr to do minimum wage work. And it goes on an on... I’m not at all surprised by this.

I guess saying a corrupt election official and liberal Democrat being one and the same is a bit redundent. It's like the old Joke about what do you get when you cross a corrupt politician with a sleazy lawyer? Chelsea Clinton. I was going to say I would give odds that Currie was a Democrat.

The democrats run the place like it's their own little fiefdom. Corruption and crime are everywhere. Truly not the same city my mother grew up in where she could take a bus home from a Wings game at midnight and not think twice about crime. There is hope though, the city managers have screwed up so badly now they're on the brink of receivership. Maybe someday soon they'll throw out the corrupt government and start over fresh.

This is just one more reason Liberals can not be trusted in positions of power. This was the article I was referring to in a note to Kilo.
