Great article / must read.

Excerpt: "So let’s get this straight. Chicago’s economy is collapsing. Taxes are soaring. Criminals roam the streets freely. Violence is out of control. Public schools are failing. Government employee pensions have gone rogue. Black children are helpless, hopeless and inundated by drugs and gangs, while waiting for change that has never come. And all of this is built around the most corrupt political system in the country -- with four of the last five governors serving prison time. Close your eyes. Are you sure I’m not talking about a third world country?

So let’s forget Kenya and the whole birth certificate thing. Let’s concentrate on our own third world disgrace.

Obama’s Chicago is fast becoming hell on earth. There is no hope, and there is no change left in anyone’s pockets. There are only drugs, murder and corruption. Forget Kenya, Chicago is the third world geography that seals Obama’s fate."




Change we can believe in .....

whatever we think of the policies...

Democrates run nealry every big city and have run them for decades...
and nearly every big city is a wreck... hell on earth
yet their citizens still cling to the concept that the democrats - that have run their fair cities into the ground - have their best interests at hart and and idea how to solve the issues they have created

irony can be pretty ironic

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Socialists and statists never mean to be destructive, but they must show that they care more than the evil rotten scum conservatives. Taking wealth from the Daddy Warbucks of the world and giving it to the poor is a sure-fire way to create more poor, but they never ever see the results, they just measure their intentions.

If you are reelected by the poor, what incentive do you have to help them out of being poor. The Kennedy's have thrived on living off the poor.

Regardless of which party is in power,cities have always been given the better shake on the tax dollar return.Republicans have bought city votes many times over also.I like the fact that Republicans [ especially on this board ] have failed miserably in touting their candidate.Do we want FREE elections that emphasize beating an incumbant over putting a better man in ? What does that say about the gang mentality or the biased b.s. pumped out by Faux.Yes,indeed,the big money is courting your vote now but who will you be tomorrow ? Just another schmuck pulling the hook out of your mouth.Bill O'Reilly loves a fool

You continue to tute a bias view. You start well on most of your posts but then thro the REPO word, blame, shortcomings and anything else that you can find with FACTS.

I do agree with you that the cities always get a better shake regarding tax dollors, but to say the the Repos have failed to promote their candidate on this board...don't think so. They have a done a great job and have put what his pros and cons are. It could be said that the Demos on this board have not done so or as much, and always choose to use the excuse route for the failed policies.

Last but least the BIG MONEY...isn't one of the main points of the Demos at the start of the battle that they were outdoing the Repos money wise. So why does that not apply to the Demos (winning votes with money)? From my soap box...you are being like the doctor that says you should not smoke because it will kill you, but then you take a puff yourself.

what does that mean?
what major cities are run or have been run by republicans over the past 50 years?

Romney is a decent candidate...
but elections are about choices - and the choice here is between Romney and Obama
is Romney perfect? no... he's okay
but in comparison to Obama? he's such a clear choice

that's rhetorical nonsense
it's also a false choice
I want free elections that put the better candidate in... Romney is the better candidate

Fox news puts a product out that is popular... free market and all
the fact that nobody watches CNN or MSNBC isn't Fox fault!

a bit of history BTW - the media has ALWAYS been divided into political camps (ever read history of the revolution or the early elections? they were far worse than they are today!)

What changed is in the 1960s the media started pretending to not have a bias and the majority of people bought it...
then in the 70s and 80s only liberals seemed willing to withstand losing money to put papers and broadcasts out so the conservative media thinned and you were left with only one side - who pretended to be unbias (the major networks/newspapers)

by the 90s we started to see more conservative media fill the marketplace like Foxnews to restore the balance

I think it's helpful to stop pretending there is or ever was an "unbiased media"... you stop worrying about Fox or CNN being slanted... it's the nature of the beast and always has been
