Northwest Indiana Discussion

The 3 are not really posting about politics.

I tried to join in, but was labeled almost immediately by the other side, so why the hell should I continue?

None of the 3 are ever going to change their views at all either.

And the same 3 people are basically saying the same thing over and over and over ad nauseum in every single thread

I know what you are saying but it is the same way on all the threads where they are concerned. Join in the discussion and don't worry about the name calling. Someday they might grow up.

LMAO

Sort of like calling me expresso or happy jack a troll or using the term McBush or saying nasty things about Sarah Palin and John McCAin....?

That kind of "name calling"....?

Maybe arties dead cat has got partys tongue!

Well kids, there is absolutely nothing "political" in the city of Chicago no??

This is helping me to decide whether or not to trust o'bama with the dem political machine by his side. Again, "birds of a feather, flock together".


A Democratic machine in Chicago? Don't be naive

ST. PAUL — A Tribune news bulletin of great importance flashed on my electronic slave collar (elitists would call it a BlackBerry) at the Republican National Convention:

There is no Chicago Democratic machine. Mayor Richard Daley says so.

If this is indeed true, and no sane man would ever doubt the mayor, then I might as well kill the stupid idea of writing a Barack O'Bama column.

"I don't know where they get this, I mean, this idea that there is a big Democratic machine going on," the mayor told reporters last week.

And he didn't mean there was a little Democratic machine, either. Machine? What machine?

He was not purple with rage, hair askew, so he was not in his Mayor Chucky persona. And he was not haughtily invoking his Richard the Shortshanks persona, drawing upon his right as firstborn son of our great, late King Richard the Not-so-Longshanks.

Rather, the current mayor was applying reason. When Republicans dared suggest that Obama was not a mythic reformer riding on a unicorn named Change, but actually some sort of silky creature of the Daley machine (which does not exist), those foolish Republicans were so very wrong.

Daley does not want reporters from the Washington Beltway media establishment to get some stupid idea in their heads. That could ruin things, especially with the Republican ticket of John McCain and Sarah Palin ready to play the political reform/machine card on Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-Rezko).

The reporters might put on tinfoil hats to shield them from the channeling of Daley/Obama strategist David Axelrod, and such newfound clarity might cause the journalists to wonder, horrified, whether Obama's gentle unicorn is actually named Cosmo and draws a paycheck from the Department of Streets and Sanitation.

Even though Obama probably has this election won—he leads in the critical Electoral College states of Michigan and Pennsylvania—things could change if the media doesn't behave. It's much better for Obama if reporters focus on whether Palin, the governor of Alaska, was truly evil for trying to fire her former brother-in-law, the cop who allegedly Tasered his own 11-year-old stepson.

The Taser story, which will most likely end up on Jerry Springer or Maury Povich, will first be developed by responsible journalists, perhaps with the following headline:

"Palin Nephew: Don't Tase Me, Daddy!"

In the meantime, I know who started this Chicago machine nonsense. The blame belongs to a former federal prosecutor from New York who went after the New York mob and later became that city's mayor: Rudolph Giuliani.

Giuliani gave a little talk before Palin walked out on the convention stage last week, when she became a media star even though she hates the media. Americans forgot Giuliani's words of wisdom. He told several jokes about Obama, like a stand-up comic, before making the big machine reference.

"He [Obama] immersed himself in Chicago machine politics. Then he ran for the state legislature—where nearly 130 times he was unable to make a decision, yes or no," Giuliani mocked. "He simply voted 'present.' As mayor of New York City, I never got a chance to vote 'present.' And you know, when you're president of the United States, you can't just vote 'present.' You must make decisions."

And all the Republicans laughed and laughed, as if they know about decision-making The Chicago Way. How naive can they be?

When Obama is president and the red phone rings at 3 a.m. and Cosmo says that the Russians have put planes in the air, don't worry about it. He'll make a decision. He'll call White House chief of staff Bill Daley. Bill will call Rich. And Rich will call the boss of all the brothers, Michael Daley, the city's top zoning lawyer who'll be running the Justice Department, and a decision will be made. So don't worry.

"I couldn't understand. In 1979, I think I ran for state's attorney as an independent," Daley told reporters in Chicago. "I don't know where we get this, I mean, this idea that there is a big machine going on. Chicago and the metropolitan area is very Democratic and the state is. There's no, this machine, again. I thought it was laughable."

By Daley's reasoning, Obama's first machine patron, state Sen. President Emil Jones (D-ComEd) wasn't part of the machine either, even though for years Jones was double-dipping as a city sewer inspector. According to legend, Jones inspected sewers while wearing a luxurious camel's hair coat and alligator shoes and never got a speck of dirt on his finery.

And all the Daley political hacks in federal prison now, convicted of illegally rigging city jobs to build a giant army of political workers who had to get out the vote to get promotions, they're probably just dreaming. They're not really in prison. They're just having a nightmare. They'll wake up on Nov. 5.

There is no machine. Get it? It's laughable.

In the primary I voted D, but I did not vote for anyone for the office of president. I left blank about half the slate. I did vote for Bush 4 years ago. I had to hold my nose while I did it, but his competition was even worse. I am not happy with Bush, and never have been. I didn't like Bush Sr. or Bill Clinton. As far as I am concerned, the last good president we had was Reagan. Before him, Kennedy.

D or R doesn't matter to me. This fall, I will be voting all across the board, D, R, and Libertarian. Some people I have talked to refuse to vote this fall, as they are ticked about Hilary getting "cheated". I think Obama made a HUGE mistake by not slating her as his VP. THAT will probably cost him the election.

I am willing to give McCain/Palin a chance. If I do not like their performance, I will vote for a differant candidate next time around.Right now, they have enough experience and strength between the 2 of them, to maybe turn our country around. BTW, it is about blasted time that a woman was given the opportunity to lead our country. I would have liked to see Elizabeth Dole run, back a few years ago, but the glass ceiling stopped her. Now, the glass ceiling is cracked and falling apart.

Too funny. Bill Maher said it best." If you don't like what you have been eating for the past 8 years because it has made you sick why would you agree to eat it again for 4 more years?"

“We have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly.”

Bill Maher

TYPICAL DEMOCRAT LOVING ANOTHER TYPICAL DEMOCRAT

Judge: "Mr. Obama, under what grounds should this court grant your petition for divorce?"

Barack bin Obama: "Yer oner...Bill Maher said it best....."

TYPICAL REPUBLICAN LOVING ANOTHER TYPICAL REPUBLICAN. Some people NEVER learn.
