Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, jr. makes room for the oppressed:
Daley the son has maintained as tight a rein over the city’s Democratic Party machine as did his father, doling out patronage jobs and contracts to loyalists and tolerating as much corruption as in the old days. But unlike his father, he was ready to cut deals with veterans of the hard-core, radical left who were working for their revolutionary ideas from within the system they once sought to destroy from without. There is no lack of such veterans. One of Chicago’s congressmen, Bobby Rush, is a former chairman of the Illinois Black Panther Party; Louis Gutierrez, a former leader of a Puerto Rican liberation group, the Puerto Rican Socialist Party, is another.
Not to mention “some guy in the neighborhood.”
Why would we e-v-e-r want this type of government for our country?
What has America been spoon-fed and is almost ready to swallow?
Certainly this is NOT what we have to look forward to, is it?
We still have a way out of this! Vote John McCain!!!
Musolinni was lionized by his countrymen and liberals in the US because “he made the trains run on time;” likewise liberals in the US now applaud Daley the Younger because his beautification projects have made Chicago into “The City Beautiful.” (which Orlando used to be called in pre-Disney days)
One can do lots of things with other people’s money and an autocratic iron
fist……At least the parks, trees and statuary will outlast Daley….but will
they outlast the damage his protege
Obama will do to the fabric of America?
If the price of Daley’s beautification projects is a Trojan Horse named Obama spit out of the Daley machine, I think I would prefer to suffer on without the parks……just ask the Italians about their trains and if they thought WWII on the side of the Germany was worth the on-time efficiency……..
The association between the Daley Machine branch of the Illinois Combine and the horrible things they’ve done with taxes (Crook Cook County has a 10% sales tax, the highest in the nation), cronyism, nepotism, corruption that has landed scores of politicians and their cronys in jail (including a close political associate of Sen. Obama) has been completely neglected by the press. What a bunch of shills. They should all have to register as Democratic consultants.
