Sign of the times?

Anthony Weiner is an out an out socialist who has represented the boroughs of Queens and part of Brooklyn for six terms in the US House of Representatives.  Most of the legal immigrants to the US first locate in Queens and at least part of Brooklyn. These immigrants take the lowest paying jobs, learn the language, move on up the economic ladder and tend to move out of Queens and Brooklyn with success.  In the beginning they are likely feeling vulnerable and are   somewhat dependent on one or more of the various government programs for the needy.  Therefore they are susceptible to the appeal of socialists like Weiner.  What's interesting here, is the story of the "I've had enough" crowd deciding to challenge a formerly very safe democrat district incumbent.  The retired businessman running against Weiner decided to challenge after watching him refuse to answer legitimate questions on Fox New about the socialist nature of the healthcare reform program then being rammed through Congress by the Obama administrations.  This will be one interesting campaign to watch to see just how wide-spread the disgust with the runaway administration really is. The article is here.
