Considering the great state of Illinois figures to elect Obama by a healthy 25-30%, its fair to say that you are in the great minority while speaking for the citizens of Chicago.

By the way, where do you live again?

So it's Obama's fault that Ryan behaved as he did, and that the Tribune got the story? That's one powerful dude; who better to be president.

I'm in Chicago, and you certainly DON'T speak for me. It was actually good to know the Republican nominee for Senate was a sex pervert. It's not like George Ryan with his "License for Bribes" scandal, and the do-nothing for 6 years Republican senator Peter Fitzgerald hadn't already screwed over the Republican Party. Even without the sex club scandal, Jack Ryan was definitely not a lock to win the senate race because of the Republican Party's already tarnished image.

Oh, and as far as "refusing" the Kool-Aid, you're just drinking a different flavor. You betcha!

Well, he is a lying opportunist, I will definitely give him that. The most disturbing thing to me is that people actually buy into Obama's crap.

Considering that the Chicago Tribune has always been and still is a conservative newspaper, that is one powerful dude!!

Sure you do.

Generally speaking, when you claim to speak for a large group of people, you should make sure your opinion isn't in a vast minority.
