Al Sharpton's Chicago Town Hall on Gun Violence backfires ! :D

"""On Thursday, a town hall meeting hosted by Al Sharpton and the National Action Network to address gun violence exploded into a revolt against “Chicago Machine” politics, Mayor Rahm Emanuel, and the aldermen in City Hall, with panel and audience members calling to vote out their elected officials.
One 82-year-old preacher even called for “Tea Party” style meetings in some of Chicago’s south side communities such as Altgeld Gardens and Trumbull Park."""

Something tells me they'll just vote for the next person who comes along and offers them a better handout.

That's not meant to be a racial statement.  It's a statement about the mindset of those who vote for ultraliberals like Mayor Rahm, regardless of skin color.

I think its more of an Urban reality than is it a Rural one.  Large Urban areas are electing people because of what they say in an election compaign, fact or fiction.  Rural people elect people because they are our neighbors, we know them, for the rural dweller its more personal and in your backyard.

I agree with you.  It is the mindset of voters today unfortunately.
