Okay, so it would appear that i haven't been banned (yet!

) and i would like to discuss some of this with y'all.

i'd like to start with a little background. This is partially from an 'e' i received:

Pull out of Iraq? Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago.

Body Count Jan 2008 ~ Jul 2008:
292 killed (murdered) in Chicago (Chicago Tribune)
221 killed (casualities) in Iraq (iCasualties)

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)

Thank all of 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.
Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.

This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois.

The State’s Pension Funds have been decimated by out-of-control, run-away spending.

A Pension Fund is where you pay in so much for years and years and years, and then, when you retire, they give you back your money, a little at a time (monthly) or in a lump sum, for which you pay a substantial penalty. These monies are what you could have invested in other financial instruments, like a savings account, and made MORE back from. So in other words, not only are these greedy basters spending every cent of the interest YOUR money is earning (part of which IS theirs, of course), they are also spending your ACTUAL MONEY. Oh, and this isn’t happening just in Illinois, but it’s where the candidate is from, and his track record bears looking at.
