1. WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY THINKING ???
Campaign cash and the prospect of future high paying employment trumps ideology.

3. "trumps ideology"
i·de·ol·o·gy
noun, plural -gies.
1. the body of doctrine, myth, belief, etc., that guides an individual, social movement, institution, class, or large group.
2. such a body of doctrine, myth, etc., with reference to some political and social plan, as that of fascism, along with the devices for putting it into operation.
3. Philosophy
a. the study of the nature and origin of ideas.
b. a system that derives ideas exclusively from sensation.
4. theorizing of a visionary or impractical nature.


Let's say it trumps honesty, decency and common sense.

4. maybe the better question is...
why are the biggest protests and clashes occuring in "blue" states and cities? And why would these mayors choose to make decisions that have the effect of making themselves hated?

6. Probably most of them.
Just a guess, but I assume that the most noticeable OWS sites are in the more progressive areas... Which would naturally be more likely to elect dem mayors.
