The watershed yr. for the Dems was 1968. An equivalent for the Repubs is '08.<br /><br />Not-to-worry. Like a pair of viruses, the two major dystopian political parties reconstitute their RNA and await their next host for infection and subsequent pandemic. <br /><br />I’ve lived in Cook Co., trust me, the Machine still exists. The election of Todd Stroger, Cook Co. Board President and political crony is living proof of its existence. <br /><br />As the Chicago Tribune once stated regarding the 1960 presidential election: ‘once an election has been stolen in Cook County, it stays stolen.’<br /><br />I vote against tyranny and not for skin color. BO didn’t even make the first cut.

Hey Nicholas,<br /><br />Why are my comments being deleted from the news comments section? It appears to me that any attacks against private citizens, racial comments, attacks on minorities, making fun of people that die or have misfortunes and posting libel, slander and lies about known people seems to be all right.<br /><br />Can you tell me why my comments are being removed?
