Some Facts We Should all Know

God
A State with No Republicans!"

Very interesting...Note this. A US State with zero Republicans in office - The State of Illinois. Think about this.

Some interesting data on the 'state' of Illinois... There are more people on welfare in Illinois than there are people working. Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S. averaging $110,000/year. Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. Wow, are Illinois and Chicago great or what? Be sure to read till the end. I've never heard it explained better. Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago? Body count: In the last six months, 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago. 221 killed in Iraq; AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.

Here's the Chicago chain of command: President: Barack Hussein Obama · Senator: Dick Durbin · House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr. · Governor: Pat Quinn · House leader: Mike Madigan · Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike) · Mayor: Rohm Emanuel · The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats. · Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago. · Of course, they're all blaming each other. · Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! ·

Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

>> State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

>> Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us?

>> George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in the prison.

>> He was replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is that's right, also in the prison.

>> And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of weeks ago, because he is fighting to not be sent to...that's right, prison.

The Land of Lincoln, where our governors make our license plates.


But you know what?

As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go broke before the country does.

"Anybody who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian."

Don’t forget Detroit another good example.


Some of you might find these data interesting. ALL SHOULD.
There are actually two messages here. The first is very interesting,
but the second is absolutely astounding -- and explains a lot!

A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.

Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:

U.S. 65%
England 46%
Canada 42%

Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:

U.S. 93%
England 15%
Canada 43%

Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six
months:
U.S. 90%
England 15%
Canada 43%

Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:

U.S. 77%
England 40%
Canada 43%

Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:

U.S. 71
England 14
Canada 18

Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in "excellent health":

U.S. 12%
England 2%
Canada 6%

And now for the last statistic:

National Health Insurance?

U.S. NO
England YES
Canada YES

And check this last set of statistics!!

The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.....

You know what the private business sector is. A real-life business, not a Government job. Here are the percentages:

T. Roosevelt................... 38%
Taft.................................40%
Wilson ........................... 52%
Harding.......................... 49%
Coolidge........................ 48%
Hoover ...........................42%
F. Roosevelt................... 50%
Truman...........................50%
Eisenhower.................... 57%
Kennedy......................... 30%
Johnson..........................47%
Nixon..............................53%
Ford................................42%
Carter.............................32%
Reagan...........................56%
GH Bush.........................51%
Clinton ..........................39%
GW Bush........................55%
Obama............................. 8%

This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!

That's right! Only eight percent -- the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big Corporations how to run their business?

How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers?

They've spent most of their time in academia, Government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers." They should have been in an employment line.

Pass this on because we'll NEVER see these facts in the mainstream media.

"One of the penalties of not participating in politics is that you will be governed by your inferiors." - Plato
 
Long history of northern states being opressed by the Republicans. The solution is voting some morally shallow Democrats into office.. They continue to promote a good deal "wellfare wise" and those on the dole continue to vote for their real opressors.

The tight gun laws do nothing except restrict the weapons from the hands of law abiding citizens. As evidenced by the crime rates in Chicago.

Obama is the answer. I just haven't figured out the question to which he is the answer of.. As proved evident early on he doesn't have the resume to be hired as a manager of a fast food resturaunt.
Then to stack up your Presidential Cabinet with cronies without a clue. Inexcusable !

Remember Benghazi! Especially when the Wellfare Party brings Hillary to run for President.
 
its only getting worse, I keep looking at the media outlets and wonder just how much more BS can they spew without vomiting, it seems it is an eternal presidential campaign going on. To those who say throw out the ones that have been around too long, realize that we have the most inexperienced President in office this country has had in modern times. many people voted for O, just because he was new and not part of the crowd, see what that got us? I agree that there are a lot of the established government that that need to be putout to pasture(Reid, Pelosi, McConnell, McCain, Graham etc...), but just electing some one to replace them based on them being new got us where we are with O. Make your votes based on where they voted, what their history is, what they stand for, and not what their race is
 
Almost agree with that 100% CryOL. The sentiment (repeated by many) is that were we to throw them all out and start fresh we could not do any worse. I am not smart enough, nor do I have the desire for politics. I will keep sending my tax money up there, voting and complaining until something favorable happens.
Registered Democrat raised in a household full of Dems that are fully convinced the Republicans are out to get them.
 
I Agree with ya'll.

Ridge, dont' count yourself out for not being "smart enough". Reading your posts here you obviously have more than just a lick of common sense which is light years ahead of most in DC.

"Not crooked enough" is a better excuse.
