Thought you would appreciate this. AREN'T THOSE GOOD OLD DEMOCRATS DOING A GREAT JOB IN ILLINOIS AND CHICAGO????? Subject: A wonderful state of Illinois with zero Republicans in Elected Offices. There are more people on Welfare in Illinois than there are people working. Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S. averaging $110,000/year. Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. You can't blame that on Republicans because there aren't any. Wow, are Illinois and Chicago great or what? 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 AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US. Here's the Chicago chain of command: President: Barack Hussein Obama Senator: Dick Durbin House Representative:Jesse Jackson Jr. Governor: Pat Quinn House leader: Mike Madigan Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike) Mayor: Rohm Emanuel The 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. Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in the country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in the country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us??? George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in the big house. (jail) Of course he was replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is...that's right, also in the big house. And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a few of weeks ago. That is because he is being sent to...that's right, the big house. The Land of Lincoln, where our governors make our license plates!!!!!!. But you know what? As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian."
