Political Punch

Chris,

Very well spoken. Unfortunately, the people who most need to read it are the most likely not to understand a word of it.

It's really sad how many people have not a clue how the federal government is structured, and who has what authority and control. Civics education in this country is shameful. But hey, look on the bright side - American Idol is getting great ratings!

kwame needs to go. haveing strip parties in the monoghian mansion strippers disappearing, wife coming to mansion and having fights with strippers dismissing police officers that dont cooperate costing the city millions of dollars in lawsuits and detroit with highest foreclosures, crime and probably unemployment ooops not his fault

I guess he's not a slick as good ol' Bill.

What should happen to him should have happened to Bill.

1. Pay back the cost of the lawsuit and the investigation
2. Be jailed for perjury
3. Be disbarred if he is a lawyer
4. Be barred from EVER holding a political office again.

Any district attorney worth his salt would have already filed charges and had him arrested.

Donovan needs a slight refresher in historical facts.

The dotcom bubble was created due to certain regulations set forth by the Fed who was charied by Alan Greenspan. Alan Greenspan was appointed by Ronald Reagan. To even suggest that Clinton had anything to do with the dotcom bubble is a laughable joke as the bubble was already growing before that fool came into office. I'm guessing that next you're going to try telling me that it was Gore that really created the internet.

When Ronald Reagan was President he cut a significant number of income taxes. Coincidentally organizations such as UNICEF and other charitable organizations recorded some of the highest corporate donations of any period prior. Many of those records still hold till today.

Next, the President does not, in any manner, way, shape or form control the economy and to even insinuate that otherwise is to demonstrate your clear and utter lack of knowledge. First, the economy is, for the most part, an entirely separate entity from the government. The economy operates on it's own with very little real control from the government. That said, what control the government DOES exert on the economy comes not from the White House but from Capitol Hill. It is Congress which sets the budget and approves tax cuts/raises.

Just the fact that the DJIA has had incredible record closings the past year clearly proves you are wrong Donovan. Or are you going to try and say that Clinton is also responsible for that?

What's great about the DJIA being up and not the tech indexes is that INDUSTRY is sustainable whereas the tech industry obviously wasn't. You can thank the Republicans for the better economy. Oh, yeah, lowest unemployment records in decades. Nuff said.

I'm amazed that anyone can consider the "Tax and Spend" policies of the Democrats to be anything that could help drive prosperity when the only thing that drives prosperity is having more money in your pocket. It's simple really. If I get taxed more I have less. If I have less I buy less. If I buy less fewer are manufactured. If fewer are manufactured fewer are hired. If fewer are hired there are less earning an income. If there are less earning an income there are more on the dole. If there are more on the dole there is more need. If there is more need taxes are raised.

Are you seeing the pattern here Donovan? The top economic minds in the country do.

He shoul resign, shame on you Kwame, stop blaming others for your actions, take responsability.

Kwame is a disaster. To hide his affair with his chief of staff, whose husband was a childhood friend & coach of his sons' little league team, he fired two career police officers! This cost a poor city 9 million dollars. In January he was having sex with yet another woman, in a swank spa, after delivering a speech for King Day in North Carolina. We still don't know her real name. The cops' depositions stated that he picked up generic women in clubs in DC during the Congressional Black Caucus weekend. And there is so much more.

Well as for the public so continues the ways of government. Every generation has endured graft, lies, murders and anarchy from the political king pins.
Regardless of the party or the race it is a forgone conclusion that power over the public will eventually lead to the leaders doing what they believe is their right to twist and manipulate the system to their benefit.
the difference in this mayor and the gov. of NY is one accepted responsibility for his actions while the other wants to find a race card excuse to pu the blame on the media.
I believe the mayor is beyond usefulness for the city of Detroit, he should do the right thing and resign. Further court action will bring all the corruption to the top.
Power corrupts and absolute power makes for a murdering mentality.
His power has ruined him!!!!

He's the most corrupt mayor in Detroit's history. He's the only person IN history that even comes close to being as corrupt as Bush/Cheney.

And to those who blame the hadships of Detroit on Dems, just take a look at this COUNTRY under the likes of Reagan, Bush Sr., and Bush Jr. ... every time a Republican takes office, the economy plummets, but the ultra-rich get richer. Then a Dem comes along and restores the balance ... thus bringing prosperity to the United States as a whole ...cghCLINTONcgh! Republicans are the most selfish, self-serving, arrogant people on the planet and they have NO CLUE how to run a country! They only know how to cheat the system to increase thier own margins.

Call me a racist if you want, but one look at this clown and you just know he's a crook.

Bait and switch. What better way to take the focus off one's transgressions than to play the role of a victim. The worst is yet to come because evidence is mounting against Kilpatrick that he put a "hit" out on a young stripper and had her murdered because his wife came home unexpectedly and caught he and his police buddies have a big ole party(at the taxpayers expense by the way) There are even Detroit police officers living in fear for their lives for revealing his past behaviours. If you want to see political corruption at it's finest, read up on this poor excuse for a man. He is going to be stopped this time. He has gotten away with too much for too long.

Detroit has been run by Democrates for 40 years. If you drive around any part of the city you will see what could be compared to the devastation that Katrina brought to New Orleans. The only HUGE difference is that the disaster was man made and has affected 3 generations. It is truly criminal. This is what you get when Democratres have free reign.

He forgot to blame Bush.

How convenient it has become to blame all of one's transgressions on racism.
