We used to have rich guys who owned newspapers and voters who couldn't read.

No we have rich white newspapers which own politicians and voters who don't read.

Politicians never change. Only their methods. I was reading about Tammany Hall last week, and I realized that things really haven't changed much in the big cities.

Most Demon Rat "community organizers" should be jailed for racketeering. Fresh off the boat, the Queen of Chinatown in San Francisco starts bringing people unto her bosom. La Raza helps illegals avoid deportation and to vote in LA. Chicago - nuf sed. New York is clean (in comparison).
