Some interesting things about Chicago (Democrats)

I read about this on another forum and decided to do more research.

Deaths for past 6 months:
- 292 murdered in Chicago
- 221 killed in Iraq

Leaders in Chicago include: Senator Barack Obama, Mayor Richard Daley, Senator Dick Durbin, Gov. Rod Blogojevich, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., House leader Mike Madigan, and Attorney Gen. Lisa Madigan

They all are democrats, no republicans.

State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, which happens to be the worst in the country. Cook County in Chicago has a sales tax of 10.25%, which of course is the highest in our country. And the Chicago public school system has constantly performed in the top of the WORST in the country.

Barack Obama can't even run Chicago, come on guys.

Thoughts?

 

Not that I am trying to discredit your stats, but can you quote your sources please?

 

Here is one: http://cbs2chicago.com/local/chicago.summer.shootings.2.810166.html

Have to go back and look for others

 

lol desperate pugs

 

There is one key difference here. Those 292 in Chicago have likely already voted for Obama in the presidential election, where as teh 221 in Iraq are not.

 

221 killed in Iraq

what, in one day?

 

Did you read the OP's post?

 

Thanks for posting one of your sources. Pretty interesting statistics.

 

I have heard those same stats on TV. It is pretty much what I heard also.

 

http://icasualties.org/oif/ has about 189 to 220 depending on what you consider the last 6 months...

As for Chicago murder rates. All I could find was some facts indicating in a news story that there were 134 deaths already in the first 4 months of the year.

Either way, all the dead in Chicago will be voting for Obama.

 

lol i am not voting for either, nice try

I am just throwing the stats out for discussion.

 

There were more overall deaths in Iraq than listed for starters in 6 months..............

Obama does not 'run' Chicago, senators do not even start to 'run' a city.

 

I wonder how many dead people will cast votes in the election.

 

I wonder how many of the dead people are receiving welfare checks.

 

you guys feel like on a necrophilia fetish today?

 

Día de los Muertos is Nov 4th this year.

 

A very high percentage of dead people receive checks. I have read articles where dead people have received checks for over ten years.

 

'Some' do, when their family milk the system in most cases. Some put their loved ones in freezers to continue to receive checks w/o notifying anyone of the death.

How does a few rare instances make it 'A very high percentage' ?

 

I thought this is amusing also, I am not sure they are dead though.

 

The rest are probably illegal aliens.
