Sounds like the opposite of the Kurt Russell movie ''Escape From New York''. Instead of an island of convicts, we now have an island of wealthy millionaires.

Well ol'' EDINTEX - I see, about like the rest of the Moran Sheep, must be about 17 to 25 yrs.old and totally Clueless not to mention a few other things, typical for a Republi-Goon, Blame it on everybody else But Themselves, they got caught with their hand in the Cookie Jar red handed and while still standing there caught, are Blaming it on Johnnie Come lately, That Republi-Goon Party will never-ever assume or Take Responsibility for their Actions or ever Admit any Faults they have, this is Exactly the kind of Absurd Mentality, that they posess and Display, it must never ever be our Fault and we must never ever take Responsibility for anything we''ve done ever ! Their Always, Always Innocent and have never ever done anything wrong ever. Thats a true Sign that, that Republican Party is in Serious- Serious Trouble when you have that kind of Thinking and Mentality and their Absolute Refusal to own up to anything they''ve done !

Or would it be the falling economy Bush inherited from Clinton? How about WWII or Vietnam which began with a democrap and was inherited by a republican.

You liberal democrats have a twisted view of history. Get some mental help.

LOL..

Oh-kay cowboy.. You tell em..

I guess you never heard of a budget surplus?

The people who need mental help are the dumb people who can only think in black and white, like their radio tells them to. So everything bad thats ever happened is a democrats fault. And everything good is a republicans doing. You think the world is that simple? I feel sorry for you..

And Bush just got out of office. Look at the mess were in.. By your logic, you should pin the blame on whoever has been in office.
Do you?
Of course not. You dont think. You repeat things that youve been programmed to think.

Hows it feel bein'' a robot??

Not too good I bet.But you wouldnt know, because no one has told you to consider it yet.
No one on your radio at least.

I agree that NYC is by far the most interesting city in the States. And I am a part time resident. But it is not as pleasant as London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo and other so-called Alpha cities. It is also over-rated on so many levels. It ain''t pretty like Seattle or Vancouver, but it is NYC.

Seems the Dems always are stuck fixing the economy after the fact. Just look at the History.

Do you mean like the wonderful economy Reagan inherited from Carter? Or would it be the falling economy Bush inherited from Clinton? How about WWII or Vietnam which began with a democrap and was inherited by a republican.

You liberal democrats have a twisted view of history. Get some mental help.

The Middle Class is what made NYC great. It is sad that the heart and soul of the city has had to leave. I guess it is now an island of multi- millionaires and dirt poor people who serve them.
