Nice, SCC. We can only hope!
Wish it was Green instead of Red. Tired of the same bullshit...
Now that's change we can believe in.
Been a Dem almost all my life I was hoping the wave was bigger! There is still to much blue!!!!
Love it!
2 years ago the Democrats were convinced that the 2010 election would be a "mopping up operation" of the Republican's/ Conservatives left in power. What fools they are.....
little video I made for today!

I am so sick of Republicans states being called "Red" states. When JFK was president, the "Red" states were democrat, as they should be. The commie media and leftist democrats didn't like the obvious comparison this invited because it was too close to home for them.
But I do like the tide turning on these leftist/liberal/communist/marxist dim-wits.
They've done studies and all the stimulus spending that Hoover and Roosevelt did and the stupid protectionist laws they passed turned a deep recession into a full-blown depression. I am also sick of these dopes constantly saying that this is the worst recession since the great depression. Wake up, during the late 70's (that's right, all of you Carter fans) we had double-digit unemployment, double-digit inflation, stagflation and double-digit interest rates. There was no mortgage money to be had for a while. But we can't talk about that because the democrats were in charge. The politicians and media act like it never happened. Things were rough until Reagan's 3rd year in office.
policeofficers vote today and make sure the family does the samethe real police
....From your lips to God's ears SCC...!
Hope and Change of the REAL kind.
In a couple of years admitting to voting for Barry the great divider will be like when everyone denied buying a Spice Girls CD, but they somehow sold millions of them in the US.
for everyone voting democratic
you will receive your halloween trick in the mail next week
real estate tax bill
big increase , that's why bills weren't mailed out in october
Nice clip.
Given what has happened politically over the last two years and what has happened electorally beginning with the hanging chads bullshit in Florida in 2004, if there was ever a time for people to vote and to be confident in what political party they are voting for, it is this election.
After this election, if it's close, there is something wrong with the count. I don't see how how this one can be close at all. Clear lines have been drawn and the Beck turnout in D.C. is evidence of it.
It should be a blow-out favoring (R).
I hope the Republican's don't again go RINO when given the levers of power.

Did my civic duty today....I voted
Just did my part to make it happened,I voted for all of the (R's).
Remember you have the power to retain judges. I know the list is long, but remember those liberal judges that always rule "no pc" and "sol".
The polls were crowded at 10:30 am and the people looked fed up. goodbye quinn you bum.
Quote from commentator left in the sun-times article on the Halloween shooting in uptown, "welcome to Chicago, if the taxes don't kill you, the honor students will." Vote dumbocrat!!
my favorite ballot today -- a full page of judges to vote "NO!!!!!!" to!!!!!
A beautiful view of our country in the near future.
Remember to give "RED JAN" Schakowsky the boot!
Show Obama that his "enemies" can even defeat communists in the belly of the beast!
Vote Pollak!
This "Blue vs. Red" thing -- I forget which TV network started it -- is really disingenuous, in that it's a complete reversal of the everyday, accepted, instinctive American vernacular.
I see that a couple of other people here noticed this too.
"Red" has always symbolized Communism. "Blue" has always been associated with good --"true blue," "Blue Angels," "blue sky," "blue blood," "Thin Blue Line," etc. Think of this and you'll probably come up with more.
I have grown used to these inversions. It's like, when they do a demographic map of the city, they'll color-code black areas as white, and white neighborhoods as black. It's just done to throw a wrench into your perceptions, to make it harder for you to think. I won't go into what the government-invented designation of "Hispanic" has done to the maps and charts.
...and here we see America swept by a "Red tide," and we're supposed to reverse everything we ever learned and remember that "Red" suddenly means "Republican." I was expecting to see Stalin pop up in there, and hordes of marching troops with funny helmets. It's gotten to be a lot of work...
Let's switch the colors of the traffic signals around next. The Irish are offended by the use of green, the Native Americans don't like red, and the Chinese are upset about yellow. (grin)
It's too weird.

Yeah -- a disposable, lemon-scented, one-term President. Just flush it away!
I think all of these job losses and foreclosures -- thirty-seven foreclosures in ONE high-rise condominium building here in Chicago on TV the other day, one household in 84 being foreclosed on -- and all of the empty, "FOR LEASE" businesses, more and more every day, are really creating what you call "backlash."
I get the little Nadig paper on the Northwest Side -- which I really like -- and two things have happened. It's gotten smaller from loss of advertising, and what's left of it is pages and pages of legal notices. It's like paying fifty cents for twelve pages of solid foreclosures in five-point type, with a few local stories thrown in about the girl's basketball team and a coming church rummage sale.
This is serious.
...and I'm still waiting for the investigation into Rahm Emanuel's apparent neck-deep involvement in the housing bubble...
I hit it a dozen times. I don't think the people in Lake and Porter counties are going to be happy about every single Democratic voter in Chicago moving east across the Indiana line, but that's sure what it looks like!
"Food desert," nothing. Wait'll they find out about the snow out there...
How do the great police officers of the city get paid without taxes? Can someone please explain that to someone who doesn't know?

Gonna be selling a lot of single-edged razor blades, a lot of little cans of Ronsonol out in Oak Park. Need something to get that "Obama" bumper sticker off the three-wheeled electric runabout -- not to mention off the Mercedes and the Escalade parked next to it on the sweeping brick driveway...
I dunno. Oak Park, Ill. -- east of Berkeley, Cal., south of Madison, Wis. -- is one of the few places where you can still see a "Peace" sign.
I actually saw a fund-raiser in an "ACLU" windbreaker going door-to-door there one day...
Maybe off topic, maybe not.
But, don't vote for Sandra Ramos for Judge. Witch used to (maybe still does, I've been gone awhile) represent the Cobras up around Artesian and Potomac. She named my partner and me in at least a couple suits.

A friend in New York who almost never votes told me that she's going out today to vote "Green Party" just on one issue.
There is apparently a 1/20th of 1 percent New York state tax on each stock market trade -- and the state has been rebating the tax as a sop to the brokerage houses!
No wonder outfits like Goldman Sachs pay out such huge Christmas bonuses that they tell their employees to "be discreet" about spending it all...
Think a minute. Today, stocks are traded mainly by huge banks of specially-programmed computers regurgitating stuff at each other at the speed of light, zillions of trades a second. This microscopic tax amounts to about $16 billion a year -- enough to wipe out the state deficit if they'd start collecting it!
Sidelight -- in 025, the land comprising the Brickyard Mall is owned by Goldman Sachs...

Sure, and aren't we all hopin' that the proprietor's got such a quiet, congenial arrangement with the Great One himself.

Slainte!
Funny, all the appellate judges had (d) next to their names, passed on voting.
Voted against retention on every other corrupt, hack, Cook County machine judge.
Doesn't do any good until others figure it out, but it does feel good.
for everyone voting democratic

Dead nuts on Balls accurate!!!
I just refinanced and received 600 dollars less from my escrow account refund to meet the increase in Cook county taxes.
The wife and I voted Republican across the board. Time for Change we really can believe in. I was a Democrat for most of my life. Not anymore.
Ward Heelers Disconsolate?
I am seeing something I've never seen before.
There is a polling place in 025 that I've been watching for years. It's always had the area around it very heavily covered with Democratic campaign signs -- the workers used to show up at 5 AM and illegally put the stuff right up to the door, and the Board of Election Commissioners had to be called. Always dozens of signs, though, as close as they could get them.
This year -- NOTHING.
There is not a SINGLE election sign within my field of vision from the place -- not even a block away. Unprecedented.
I can only surmise that Daley's ward heelers -- uncertain of their future -- see no point in even getting out of bed this time around.
It was difficult at first, but then became easier, you could say I enjoyed it by the end, a guilty pleasure. Hehe. A lifelong dem who punched a 99% republican ticket. Fuck you Daley and company.
Republican says...
Who r u guys Fucken kidding... if Republicans had had things running so smoothly when they were in charge, they would never had given up control of the house, senate and presidency... quit burying your heads in the sand... they all suck... quit voting along party lines and start holding people accountable... on both sides of the isle... from here on out, I am an independent... on races I couldn't decide on with no clear decent candidate.. just wrote in my own name
STROGER IS OUT!!!!!
It's Toni Preckwinkle.
Brian Doherty is out!
John Mulroe won his bar stool -- er, seat...
