[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps one reason his people vote for him is that he pisses off people in Moco, VA, Ward 3, etc.[/quote]

combination of that and the fact that the people he serves in the ward see him as their only voice. he does a lot in that community to keep them "in check" and continually backing him.

i say all this not to support what barry said but to explain his continued popularity in the ward[/quote]

Really? 40% unemployment is a great voice? There are other voices in the community. He's just an enabler for the lazy.[/quote]

when you live in such poor conditions and marion barry is that one person who is always passing out turkeys on thanksgiving and raising hell about conditios in the community (whether something is done about it or not) you appreciate and gravitate towards that as your source of hope.

there have been articles written on people who have gotten "help" from barry and value that gesture and in turn continue to support him. 40% unemployment may be true but when blind loyalty allows barry to stand up and say the problem is with the rest of dc government because hes out there "fighting for them" everyday.[/quote]

I also remember watching the HBO documentary about him and the other candidates talking about ending the cycle of poverty that helps to keep Barry in power and one almost got murdered Ward 8 residents. Barry's view of "help" is unlimited government no-show jobs.[/quote]
