[Dem-No-More-2]

Hi, I have been a longtime lurker, and this is my first post. I am a recovering democrat. I would like to ask all if they could email the IOC members to award the 2016 Olympics to Rio. Hillbuzz (yes, its a Hillary site, but they support Sarah Palin wholeheartedly) has a great post with all the email addresses. I think it would make a greater impact for Americans to lobby for Rio.

Thank you.

Go Rio!

Why reward the most corrupt city in America with the Olympics?

[GQuagmire]

Decision has already been made. Your attempt will be futile.

Do you like kitties?

I fear it is a done deal. Got to see the IOC up close and personal in 96. They will fit right in with the Chicago mob. Graft and corruption are what gets the IOC’s attention, they go to it like a moth to a flame.

Olympics in Chicago is like a mobster hyjacking a trailer truck full of goods. Criminals acting like criminals. If anyone thinks this is about sportsmanship and competition, it’s about thievery of the highest order. Chicago is dead broke! where is the money gonna come from? The tax payers of America! Anyone pissed off?

Can’t hurt to try!

I’m always curious about how Dems become conservative. The cliche is that a conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged. What changed your way of thinking?

Rio should get it because they are entitled. ;)

I like your thinking! Obama trotting off to Copenhagen to bring home what is nothing more than ANOTHER real estate deal that will line the pockets of Daly and Jarrett is shameful. Meanwhile, His Highness managed to pick up the phone for the second call to McCrystal in seven months. Either get out of Afghanistan NOW or provide the support to get the job done. Things done by half measures usually end up half assed.

Wow...Can't believe what I am reading...Yeah, Chi-town might be a messed up place, so is L.A., and it hosted the Olympics. Are you all really sooooooo jaded with politics that you would go against YOUR OWN COUNTRY hosting the Olympics??

WTF?!!! I want our Olympians to win GOLDS in OUR COUNTRY any chance they can get...SCREW RIO!!!!!!

Personally I would rather have the Resident spend his time jacking around with Olympics Committee crooks and Chicago venue crooks, than having any spare time to think up bad stuff to do like surrender to Taliban, Cuba, Iran, nationalize banks, nationalize car companies, nationalize healthcare and abort babies with public money.

Let’s keep the Whtie House focused on something that takes a lot of attention, keeps him out of the country, and burns time with minimal in-country impact so we can get rid of this nutjob naive egomaniac.

Oh and welcome to FR.

We'll help you out, but first you need to take the acorn employment test.

Dittos on the welcome. Has anyone heard that Valerie Jarrett (sp?), Zeros’ left hand woman, has a substantial financial interest in the property the Olympics would use if Chicago won the selection? I heard it on Glenn Beck this am radio
