A Jewish guy vs. Jesus
What a country!

Rom’s done such a great job. How can anyone oppose Him?
All the ultra-rich have seen what happened in NYC when a real Leftist Nutter gets in. At least for them Emanuel is a crony.
Send a Federal bailout czar to run the shop.

The Jewish mob vs. the Union mob!!!
Maybe we can witness mutually assured destruction, but I doubt it. I suspect Rham’s huge money will put him over the top, although it’s money they would have liked to spend on other Dem candidates in 2016.
More self loathing Jews destroying our country. I don’t get it. Really.
To coin our # 1 outlaws famous saying before Congress.....”at this point what difference does it make”?
Outside Chicago, who cares which crook gets elected?
If tiny dancer loses it will be a source of great amusement to me. Chicago will collapse into financial and racial chaos all voted for by a benighted population
On Tuesday 7 April, Chi-town gets to choose: Obama's dancer boy or the Mexican:
Chewy the Mexican Born 1956-04-12 in Durango, Mehico |
The devil we know well? Or the one we may not?
Most people running for office today (from local on up) are corrupt liars...’Chewy’ would fit right into a sewer like Chicago.
“Badges,!!We dont need no stinkin’ badges!!”
