Gee, why don't we hear the bad, Dems?

Posted February 28, 2009 10:00 pm

Sure, the Democrats celebrate their inroads into the Republican bastion of DuPage County. But, what have they done for DuPage County? Nothing, except division, dissension and turmoil- their stock in trade. Why aren't they celebrating their record in Chicago, where they came from, and where they have everything their way? Why aren't they celebrating Rod Blagojevich? Why aren't they celebrating the political machine that put him into office? Why aren't they celebrating their great success with the Chicago school system, which has failed generations of students? Why aren't they celebrating the financial debt, $1.4 billion, which they have run up in Illinois government? Why aren't they celebrating Illinois' unemployment rate of 6.8 percent? Why aren't they celebrating the 15 percent rise in homicides in Chicago in 2008? Why?
