What a Softball
The mayor, who was raised and lives protected every minute of every day by men with guns, is in the Sun Times Friday, making fun of Fred Thompson for campaigning at gun shows:
Mayor Daley ridiculed Republican presidential hopeful Fred Thompson on Thursday for strutting his stuff -- and showing off his "machoism" -- by campaigning at gun shows.
Daley said there should be a national debate about gun violence. It should be at the forefront of the presidential debate among Daley's fellow Democrats and among Republicans now consumed by the war in Iraq, he said.
Actually Mayor, there has been a national debate about guns in recent years. And if we're reading the results correctly, you guys lost:
- 90 million gun owners in the USA
- they own some 250 million guns
- more than 40 states have some form of Concealed Carry or shall-issue laws.
And of those 90 million gun owners, 36 million identify themselves as Republican. Then throw in a few million independents and your red-dog democrats. Correct us if we're wrong, but didn't 50 million votes pretty much win the presidency last election? Thompson is campaigning where the votes are Mayor - kind of like you do in the churches and graveyards across the City.
And if the Supreme Court strikes down Washington DC's gun ban, we hope Fred will be here, campaigning among all the new gun owners in Chicago.

guns are bad
Screw mayor bable bable talk. Every day I advise honest citizens to purchase a fire arm in the suburbs as it there contitutional right. I tell the truth it cant be registered but with the CPD back logs you need something in your home to protect your life and home. F/k Blago @ Daley, Illinois citizens should have a right bear a fire arm with a permit like the other states in this country.
My problem is the hair gell police who arrest the seventy year old man who has the gun in the car. he needs the gun to protect himself when he walks in from the street to his home because we have given this city to the savage hoodlums in the poor blighted areas of the city.
Slightly of topic but related?
Labor tradionally votes democratic, but the dems tradionally raise taxes on the business's a.k.a. the business owners.
Now if the business owners have to pay larger amounts in taxes that means lower revenue to the bottom line. So if the business owner is making less money he has less money to grow his business which means he is unable to hire employees. So we eventually end up with higher unemployment....
SO why in the world does rank and file labor unions vote Democratic??
I know this is over simplified but it seems logical to me.
kind of like you do in the churches and graveyards across the City.

Wel-well said. This mayor mutt we have should just admit himself into Reed.
Anyone remember a few years back when he was admitted to N.W. Hosp for H.P. Total b.s. he thought he was President Roosevelt and had to be confined and totally medicated.
Liberal democrates are nothing but hypocrites. Anti gun advocate Rosie O'Donnell blasted Tom Selleck when he appeared on her old talk show for being a proud member of the NRA. Then it turns out old Rosie applied with the NYPD for a special permit to carry a concealed firearm. When that came out her reps said she felt threatened by a crazed fan. She wants to protect herslf, but doesn't want you to be able to do the same. Greatest bumper sticker I ever saw was about the anti gun, senior US senator from Boston, Mass. "More people have been killed by one of Ted Kennedy's cars than by any of the guns I own".
Hey King Richard,
The day the US Supreme Court strikes down your little ban, I am going out and buying my brand new AR-15.
You won't be able to do shit about it. Hurts, doesn't it, knowing beyond Chicago you are politically impotent.
The mayor said Fred should ask a police officer what he thought about guns. well, since I am a police officer I will happily answer.The second amendment has absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with hunting as so many politicians like to pretend. It has everything to do with rights.As we all should know, people are the only entity that can possess rights. The state has no rights, only limmited power and this limmited power does not include denying citizens their rights.I am not afraid of an armed law abiding citizen, I am afraid of a politician that has no problem with trashing the Constitution.I pray that the SCOTUS hears the case and settles this issue once and for all. The Bill of rights(all of them) are individual rights.
If he gets the nomination, I'm voting for Fred! A lot of people don't realize he's been in politics for years. It seems to me that he won't take any shit from anybody.
Although it would be interesting to have a woman in the White House, there's something about Hillary that bugs me.
As for Obama, he's just not experienced enough (not to mention my out and out prejudice against Muslims). And before you beat me with a wet noodle, I happen to be Black!
No, Mr Mayor it's not called "machoism". It's called "patriotism". I suggest that you consult Amendment 2, U.S. Constutition for further details.
I bet the whole CAGE Unit was stroking off after hearing these comments
I can't fault the Mayor on that one. Fred Thompson is a JOKE!
Stay with "Law and Order," Fred.
The pay is better, and it's definitely something you can handle.
Daley is an arrogant, treacherous and spineless hypocrite.
Like a bolt out of the blue, this shameless scoundrel plays the race card on his insistence in relocating the Childrens Museum in Grant Park. How low will he go in his obsession for absolute power?
This egomaniac has more hidden agendas than any mayor in the history of the most corrupt major city in the nation.
Those that get sucked in by his facade of flower planters and wrought iron fences are oblivious to all the clandestine corruption that thrives on his watch.
The only other possibility is that they are the very beneficiaries of wasted taxpayer dollars they greedily slop up at the public trough.
The U.S. Attorney is well aware that "the emperor has no clothes".
Reenact the Assault Weapons Ban of 94. These weapons serve no sporting purpose. They should just tax the crap out of the ammo. Make those shells cost $500 a box! $10 a bullet! Ban reloading, since it could be used to make bombs.
I like when "know nothing nobody's" can make an emotional sweeping generalization like, "I can't fault the Mayor on that one. Fred Thompson is a JOKE!
Stay with "Law and Order," Fred.
The pay is better, and it's definitely something you can handle."
Have you seen his Biography. The guy is brilliant, was a Washington D.C. heavy-hitter (lobbyist 1975-1990),in the early and mid 1970's played an important part in the Watergate hearings during that era, and is a gifted lawyer (Vanderbilt),also served 2 terms in the U.S. Senate.
But all you can see is his last successful career as a film and T.V. actor. Go back to watching re-runs in your momma's basement.
This guy at 6'6 towers over "pimp-squeak" Daley by nearly a foot. That's why the Mayor soils himself just at the mention of Thompson's name!
The Bill of Rights contain ten ammendments to protect persons. Why do people who say they are for civil rights keep forgetting about the second ammendent?
ask daley what he would think about guns if he didnt have 2 cops from 001 24/7 sitting outside of his house and an armed entourage of armed policemen (the d2a security detail). JOIN THE N.R.A.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The CAGE unit is a joke.
Let the law-abiding people have keep their guns. They have to protect themselves against the thugs in this city somehow.
Prosecute the thugs you catch with guns with REAL gun laws, not this mickeymouse ILCS bullshit.
Oh, and leave the gun collectors alone please.
i'm going out to buy a new shotgun in his honor .
I think the mayor's biggest fear is once an honor roll student pulls a knife or pistol or is caught breaking into a house or tries to strong arm a visitor downtown, that a white victim is going to blast away, causing a race riot. There could have been five or six citizen shootings downtown alone this year over strong arm robbies alone.....it's NOT REALLY about race, but in this cesspool of liberality, its ALWAYS about race...
Every time a citizen asks me what he or she can do to protect him/herself I tell them the same things. Good locks on your doors, good solid doors, lighting, cut back the shrubbery, no damn privacy fences, good dog and most importantly, buy a firearm and take lessons on HOW to use it and more importantly WHEN to use it.For 25 years I've been telling people at crime scenes or whenever I've been asked. Along with the above I always tell them to join the NRA and to vote GOP. Once, only one time, have I gotten a negative response and that was from an extremely sheepish woman who said that she could never under any circumstance bring herself to vote anything but democratic. She didn't seem to mind the NRA part. The bigger problem is I know many gunowners who are not NRA members and who vote generally democratic, alinging themselves with and giving their support to those who would deprive them of their second amendment rights. The Bill of Rights is sacrosanct, all of them, not just the ones you may or may not like.
HEY DALEY YOU ALLOWED ALL THE 50 ALDERMEN TO CARRY GUNS WITHOUT ANY QUALIFICATIONS WHATSOEVER, AND YOU ALSO HAVE WHAT 40-50 GUYS WATCHING YOU AND DRIVING YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY ANYWHERE THEY WANT IN A FLEET OF TAX PAYER PAID VEHICLES! DO AS I SAY NOT AS I DO MAYOR PHONEY!
I hope and Pray Marco morales gets here soon and tells all he knows to hopefully finally put a nail into the criminal minds of daley & street crew!
You mean the Mayor's 24 Armed Bodyguards who make Sgt's Pay?
I think the alderthugs should turn in their weapons
"My problem is the hair gell police who arrest the seventy year old man who has the gun in the car. he needs the gun to protect himself when he walks in from the street to his home because we have given this city to the savage hoodlums in the poor blighted areas of the city."
---Right on! the problem is the Tac teams and gun teams would jump all over that arrest as well. I have seen 60+ year old men taken into the station and then I see one of tac guys walking in behind with some old Musket from the Civil War Era!! give me a break, hammer the little assholes running around with their .380 Bersa or High Point Arms!!
Mayor hamburglar("roble roble roble") needs to stfd & stfu... this cretin has been surrounded by men with guns all his life so of course he doesn't worry about some sloping forehead pulling the air conditioner out of his window or sticking a gun in his face at a stoplight. I'm all for good citizens (read:responsible citizens) being allowed to CCW. And on a side note, I wonder how many of our packin' aldercreatures actually have an FOID and did any amount of training?? Good that the anti gun laws in D.C. were struck down by the SCOTUS, now the leprechaun is probably running and crying in his sleep, "wahh, my precious gun laws." Back mr. mayor sir...have a colonic sir...
.410 shotguns with slugs are perfect home protection for elderly, no kick, and once registered, perfectly legal.

Maybe they vote Democratic because there is a substantial amount of evidence that Democratic economic policies are better for working stiffs than Republican policies.
Last weeek Alan Greenspan said that of the 6 Presidents for whom he worked, Bill Clinton was the most economically astute and the most focused on long term economic growth. In his first term he got a tax increase through Congress. Even though Republicans claimed it would kill economic growth, the economy still exploded.
In 2004, Forbes magazine used 6 measures to compare the economic performance of the Presidents since World War 2, Truman through Clinton. They were surprised to find that generally Democrats presided over better economies than Republicans.
In terms of adding jobs, Carter was the best, Clinton was second. Bush #41 was the worst.
In terms of unemployment rate Kennedy was best, followed by Clinton and Johnson. The worst were Bush #41, Eisenhower, Nixon and Ford.
Here's a link to the article:
http://www.forbes.com/commerce/2004/07/20/cx_da_0720presidents.html
I also saw something similar about stock market returns. The Dow Jones Industrials did better when a Democrat was in the White House. I don't have a link for that one.

Because unions are in bed with the city. Mayor gets union votes, mayor keeps union around even though its more expensive than accepting private bids. That's how Daley's machine came to be in the first place. Daley has done a great job keeping unions in check in this city; which is why we still have CITY workers here. If Chicago made sense, it would accept private contracts for snow removal, trash pickup, etc. It already has grabbed private contracts for ambulances, so I'm surprised the Fire union hasn't pitched a fit....It works for Daley because if he doens't get the votes he wants, he could, in thoery, get a private police force, private fire etc. There are numerous municipalites that have private police, working hourly with little or no benefit because their local government is not dependant on their vote. That's why, if we VOTED for someone OTHER than daley, he WOULD BE GONE. Hell, we could put up our own candidate and vote him in, but the union bosses have everyone running scared. Because it works for them. Because they keep thier take home cars and golf outings.
THIS WORKING NO CLOUT POLICE OFFIC ER FROM EDISON PARK SAYS" A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHILE ON ACTIVE DUTY IN THE AIR FORCE FRED THOMPSON AND IS BEAUTIFUL WIFE LANDED AT OUR BASE IN KNOXVILLE, TN. I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MET HIM AND IS WIFE IN PERSON. LET ME TELL YOU HE IS THE REAL DEAL, VERY GOOD ALL ROUND GOOD GUY AND GAVE A NICE SPEECH TO THE AIR FORCE PEOPLE. I ALSO MET HIS WIFE , VERY INTELLIGENT NICE AND NOT STUCK UP UNLIKE A CERTAIN ,MIDWEST CITY MAYOR'S WIFE THAT I WILL NOT MENTION. GOOD BLESS AMERICA.
CHALLANGE: Mayor Daley, if you really mean what you say about firearm ownership dismiss your ARMED guards. Dismiss your wife's ARMED guards. Dismiss the ARMED guards who watch over your home.
Not gonna happen! It's do as I say, not do as I do, afterall, he's a liberal democrat and he knows better how you should lead your life than you do.
HYPOCRITE !!!!!
Blago and Devine, same goes for you!
The Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting. What it does have to do with though is the right of the people to arm themselves and protects themselves against a Government that wants to beat us down into the ground. It also has to do with the right of protecting ourselves from the people that live on the East Ends of most of the districts we live in.
Speaking of guns, the area 2 GUN TEAM knocked on the door of a 59 year old man in the 004th didtrict yesterday. They told him that he had several expired gun registrations and asked him if he still had the guns. They told him if he did not cooperate and sign a consent to search, they would arrest him for a FELONY.
The victim and yes I said victim who has never been arrested, now in fear of being arrested allowed the Area 2 GUN TEAM into his residence and turned over his half dozen guns. (shot guns and hand guns)
They then pulled an RD and event number and did a weapons turn in.
Two hours later the victim's 62 year old nieghbor across the street gets robbed at gun point by 3 M/1 gang bangers.
Outstanding FUCKEN job guys.
Don't believe me, just look it up!

stupid is as stupid does
Well I bought my AK at the Valpo gunshow today,fuck you Mr. Daley.
Fred has my vote!!Now back to reloading another 1k 5.56x45 rounds.

----------------------------------
Yeah, that's really great. You want to stand behind Clinton? First, the economic boom was caused the dot com industry. Secondly, it takes approx 10 years for a economic policy of a sitting president to take a effect, take a economics course. Lastly, because your hero who couldn't own up to getting a blowjob and being a coward that he was and is, he failed to worry about that little thing called National Security. But yeah, keep praising him. Man does the media have sheep like you hoodwinked.
The Keesing Bandit says---
I know the best way to settle this Daley/Thompson thing. Since they are both lawyers, let's see who had to take the bar exam the least number of times. Daley took three. How many for Fred?
Now, kees me you fool!!!
TO ALL CHICAGO CIVILIANS; IF THE POLICE COME TO YOUR DOOR AND ASK IF YOU HAVE FIREARMS IN YOUR HOME TELL THEM TO GO FUCK THEMSELVES, LOCK THE DOOR, AND HAVE ANOTHER BEER. THEN GO TO YOUR COMPUTER AND JOIN THE NRA AT NRA.COM.
As a police officer I appologize for the gestapo tactics of Daley's gun Teams. Those hacks in no way represent the real Chicago Police Officer.

Yeah 24 Bodyguards and the Shit load of Vehicles compliments of the Tax payers. Them's a lot of vehicles Richie! And gas aint cheap these days.
You also forgot the other Clout Baby crew that protects his office. Them's a lot of Policemen up on that floor. Do they do anything else but sit there and roam the building?
Let us not forget the other Clout Baby out of shape crew that babysits City Hall.
Hey Mayor if you get rid of 5 of the 6 Bodyguards that Ald. Burke has, you'd save money there too. WHY 6 Bodyguards? And when asked by our News Affairs if this is true, they deny it becuase they get that information form 1st Deputy when asked. So, we cant totally blame News Affairs.
But hey, any media people out there want to know really who's "Assigned and Detailed" (Big difference) just a word, but easier to keep the "Detailed" person off the radar as a non exsistant unit member.
PUBLIC RECORD - Just asked to see the Unit Budget! And then take a look at all the "Friends and Family" who are in the nice spots and not becuase of some skill they possess.
Start stockpiling weapons and ammo folks.DO NOT register anything.Only the dealer has the 4473 that you filled out and local police cannot get it with out court order.
DO NOT consent to any searches period,it all a mindfuck.
Buy a gun safe and keep your shit locked up,helps keep burglars and snoopy gun teams out.
Anyone the mayor bad raps gets my vote
05:43 , if you don't don't the full story stay off the blog. You are probably another hegewisch copper who hides on the desk but bad raps everybody trying to work in your neighborhood.
12'00 AM I would be willing to bet the gun teams throughouit the city have arrested more felons than you stroke, bank on it.
The A/2 Gun Team and the Tact Teams in 004 have done more for the East Side and Hegewisch than most of you know. So go back to writing old lady tickets you hack, 0534
if he's anti-gun then why did his favorite son (patrick) join the army. hhmmmm
Lets put it into perspective, daley has lots of guards making unlimited ampunts of $$$$, burke has a fleet of drivers making unlimited $$$$, lets see if each one carries just 1 gun how many guns are there? LETS PUT ALL THE ALDERIDIOTS ON THE STREET AFTER ALL THEY ARE ALL ARMED, AND SWORN TO PROTECT THE CITIZENRY CORRECT? BUT THEN AGAIN THEY NEVER QUALIFIED JUST LIKE THE GANG BANGERS JUST CARRY AND SHOOT WHATEVER WHENEVER! 2 MORE YEARS THEY FUCK THIS CITY! LETS HOPE AFTER DALEYS NEPHEW TAKES MULTI-MILLIONS FRON "OUR" PENSION FUNDS AND THROWS IT ALL INTO HIS POCKETS THAT WE HAVE SOME LEFT FOR THE RETIRED BLUE SHIRTS! READ TODAYS SUNTIMES THE ARTICLE ABOUT THIS IS BEYOND CRIMINAL! DALEY NEEDS TO BE INDICTED NOW!! CUT THE HEAD OFF THE TOP OF THE CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE, JOHN GOTTI WAS A TRUE SAINT COMPARED TO DALEY!
Ah Mayor Daley, WATCH IT YOU ASSHOLE!!! You might be looking for a new job if you piss off any more P.O.'s
in thoery, get a private police force, private fire etc. There are
--------------------------
In theory a private police force can refuse calls, not go into areas of the city, no payouts to citizens. And the city is not connected to the actions.
It would not happen. Based on the fact no one would take the job. For the private company would be sued and lose all thier profits after the first lawsuit went to a cook county jury.

My son patrick if you remember the incident at my grand beach estate,beat the shit out of another kid about 5 years ago but he used an old reliable "baseball bat, and he is in the army protected so he can be mayor while showing he is a vet to get the vet and sympathy vote, it is all politics you knw" Truthfully Mayor Daley!
a/2 gunteam needs to start arresting REAL criminals!!!!!! do you know how to do that guys? or would a trip back to the academy for a 8 hr training session on "how to spot a real criminal with a gun" help you guys out? please stop fucking with tax paying citizens, and get the real bad guys. it's getting embarrassing.
0643, why don't you come show us you idiot.
Gun safe is no good. The gun team just faxes a copy of the search warrant to the safe manufacturer and presto, they give the combo!
