democrats of old...

The democrats of yesteryear are nothing like the democrats of today. Lackawanna is a community of people of faith, and they hold to values that the new breed of democrats hold in contempt.

For example, are you aware that the democratic party supports NAMBLA? What is NAMBLA? North American Man-Boy Love association! NAMBLA is an organization of homosexuals who believe that young boys should be made as their sex slaves. These homosexuals lobby the government to make laws that legalize their rape of young boys.

Would the democrats of old support NAMBLA? Of course not! The new breed of democrat is really like a whore that sells herself to anybody who will give them money.

If the democrats of old really knew what the new breed of democrat is supporting, they would disassociate themselves from the democratic party.

Show the people of Lackawanna what the new breed of democrat is, and I think you'll be successful in your future campaigns

Definition of a Political Machine:
" An administration of elected public officials who use their influential positions to solidify and perpetrate the powers of their political party, often through dubious means.
Machine politicians make free use of the SPOILS SYSTEM and PATRONAGE, rewarding loyal party supporters with appointed government jobs.
Other machine methods include GERRYMANDERING election districts; planting party representatives in neighborhoods; making deals with judges, lawyers, and other professionals, "buying" votes by offering...........!.
When machine politics was especially strong in the U.S. , during the latter half of the nineteenth century, politicians would go so far as to offer beer for votes, and would embezzle large amounts of public money.
Machines also dominated party causes and conventions, thereby affecting politics at all level of government.
Machines are usually associated with big-city politics. The most impressive political machine of the 20th century was that of Mayor Richard Daley, in Chicago. "

Sound familiar? I knew " LacK " awanna is stuck in the past back-room- bar-room -belly up to the bar type politics, I just did not realize how far back we are stuck.

The democratic machine in Lackawanna is something else---I am almost ashamed to say I am one. I have been doing research on what all the parties stand for, and just like a budget--sounds good on paper.
All parties need a major reality check and the people in them, well.....there are classes to overcome greed.
And if someone needs proff just look around you, The City of Lackawanna infrastructure has been decaying from the inside for decades---every administration comes in and caves to the pressures of the job, "git theirs' ", and retire on a fat pension.
The City never changes and the people suffer and complain but The Machine knows how to separate the complainers by buying out a couple of their leaders with personal favors, AND.....
Here we sit a broken down old Steel City, limping along and having a slaughter house shoved down on the people who live in the poorest section of the City.
It breaks my heart.:(
