$150,000.00 to dress the Palin family, and soliciting the Russian embassary for campaign donations? http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/10/20/mccain_solicits_russian_un_amb.html I didn't think they could come up with someone worse than W. but it seems they have.
the mccain/palin ticket is actually a secret conspiracy by the bush administration if they win, he figures he might lose the 'worst president ever' tag
It's possible, but not very probable. W. is going to go down in history as the All Star winner. Thing is he didn't accomplish this by himself. Cheney, Rumsfield, Ashcroft and Wolfowitz were actually the guiding hands. But he will end up in the history books taking the credit while their families end up rich and powerful. Not that the Bush family will be destitute, but I think their hold on power will be limited. And Rice maybe she'll get another tanker named after her.
with the way the democratic politcal machine has run illinois into the ground. i can't say that i have high hopes for the affirmative action candidate either. here's a few things you should keep in mind. one person who lives in illinois summed it up quite nicely Pull out of Iraq? Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago! Body count: In the last six months: 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago; 221 killed in Iraq. Chicago.... Who Runs it: Senators: Barack Obama & Dick Durbin Rep: Jesse Jackson Jr., Illinois Gov: Rod Blogojevich, Illinois House leader Mike Madigan, Illinois Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike), Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley (son of Mayor Richard J. Daley) .....our leadership in Illinois.....all Democrats. Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago. Of course, they're all blaming each other! Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country. Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. (Look 'em up if you want). Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country. This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he's gonna 'fix' Washington politics for us! Wake Up America! the bottom line is we're getting a bad deal either way this november. though this person forgot to mention that a fundraiser who put a lot of money into the barack obama campaign tony rezko has been indicted for fraud.
I noticed none of those politicians actually run detroit. Further, it seems to me obama is plenty "battle tested" if he came out of the chicago scene looking unspoiled. Where are you from, by the way?
http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/ilcrime.htm Looks to me like most crime has declined in Illinois within the last few years.
i live in missouri, but have friends who i went to high school with over in illinois. i have also been to chicago, some parts of it were okay and others were basicly slums with high rates of violent crime.
Hey, Forigners are a great source of campagain cash. Look at all the money Hugo Chavez throws around. They found a suitcase stuffed with Benjamins down in Argentina with Chavez' name all over it. Remember all that dough that Clint raised from those Buddists and Indonesians? remember John Hwang? Its like voter fraud, everybody does it, right? so whats the problem?
not sure what you are referring to... and Hwang swindled everyone. All the money he gave was returned.
Ummm, i think the last year quoted was 2007... for the full year... so, you might go check again. I live in a low population Repub state and our statistics are FAR worse. And getting worse.
They all kinds of Mccain supporters around here.. Fuckin signs everywhere. I'm just waiting to have a convo w/ one of them.
