Jesus Christ. I'm speechless. Totally, utterly speechless.

I've thought I've heard it all.

Can't get any fucking lower than this:

This Oblahma doesn’t even take care of his own people:

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Jennifer Hudson’s mother was one of two victims shot and killed in Chicago earlier today.

Chicago Beats New York, Los Angeles In Murders CHICAGO (CBS) ― Chicago is the Second City in nickname and the third in population, but when it comes to murder, the city has the dubious distinction of being second to no city in America.

At least Bush and McCain secured Iraq, geez.

Ironically, I received this email yesterday -- from a republican relative. I didn't even know how to respond. She and I usually don't exchange political stuff -- respecting each other's differences. I was surprised she sent me this and thought it showed a bit of desperation from the right-wingers.

CHANGE -- CHICAGO STYLE

Body count.
In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago , 221 killed in Iraq .

Sens. Barack Obama & Dick Durbin,
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.,
Gov. Rod Blagojevich,
House leader Mike Madigan,
Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike),
Mayor Richard M. Daley (son of former Mayor Richard J. Daley).....

The leadership in Illinois ... all Democrats.

Chicago is a combat zone. Of course they're all blaming each other.

Can't blame Republicans, they're aren't any!

State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% - highest in country. (Look'em up if you want).
Chicago school system one of the worst in country.
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois .

He's gonna 'fix' Washington politics?????

Keep the Change!

I'm aghast.

Those people are fucking sick!!

I did some online research, and this is what I came up with as a response.

It was a poor analogy on so many levels. Cherry-picking one city to support their skewed logic?

I didn't send this yet -- I was waiting to see if anyone else came up with something stronger to add to it.

It's a fact of life.

But the republicans who exploited Ms. Hudson's pain as a campaign talking point are heartless and very cruel. That's simply disgusting.

New Orleans used to be #1 in murder-rate. Has Katrina ruined a southern tradition?

uncaring, incompetent putz! That's tears it. I am SO voting for McCain.

The maroon factor in this country is dumbfounding.
