I don't know where you live, but here on the West Coast that's just
wrong. Many of those so called liberals do run some of the larger
cities. But as the neocons enjoy saying, most of the land in this
country is controlled by smaller cities and towns usually run by
mostly neocons. Here is Washington state it's been a long call for the
splitting of the state, mostly by the cons/neocons who feel their
voice isn't being heard. The Seattle/Tacoma area does maintain the
majority of the people of my state. And that majority does control
most policy here. But city by city and town by town this is far from
the truth. The problems many of us face here are a direct result of
con/neocon local policy.
It totally amazes me here that many of our local people will complain
and moan about being ripped off by the more affluent in our area, and
then turn around and vote them in after hearing a few of the neocon
scare tactics. What a bunch of morons. They get what they deserve.

Tom,
Did you ever notice that most of the big urban areas, with the big
breaking water mains and such (and troubling schools, and pot hole
filled roads) are not run by your pet bogeymen, the cons/neocons,
but mostly by liberals / political machine Democrats? Could it be
that pandering to unions and appeasing every interest group in site
has not worked?

I think the cons/neocons describe this as passing debts on to future
generations. Past generations built the infrastructure. Then the
cons/neocons got control and screamed "no taxes -- I want to be free"
(probably because they were hippies in their youth). Then the bridges
started to fall down, the water mains broke, and the power grid
failed.
Now guess who has to pay the debt: it is us.
