I wonder what would happen if I or you "took" over some land in the area?<br><br>He gives goodies to companies like Wrigley like economic development gifts for a facility in Goose Island and yet winks and nods when the large Wrigley factory on the South Side is shuttered for good. (Hell if you can't make gum in Chicago than what CAN you make?) Let us not forget Wrigley's new fancy plants in Mexico and China..... The teachers union complains about NO MONEY.... facilities like Wrigleys paid a lot of money into the tax base. When they go the taxes drop and the reverse multiplier effect sets in with the loss of the high paying jobs that once were there. So you say turn the Wrigley factory into "loft" residential living and add more to the glut of such properties which are currently on the market.<br><br>Daley supported ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, yes ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, when he made the Chicago area "safe" for illegal immigrants. The police were ordered to not ask the question..... One naturally wonders if the dead can vote in Chicago then why not the illegal immigrants?<br><br>The there is Daley's ETHINIC CLENSING of the housing projects. He got the Section 8 certificates transferable out to the suburbs. He exported the gangs, crime, etc. out to the suburbs, just ask any suburban police department staff who work near Section 8 properties. He then yuppifies the former project areas after he has clensed them of those "problem people". Talk about blatent racism.....<br><br>And then there is the corruption. Ala Ryan, to cover the corruption and get the cudos of the liberal leftie intellectual media, he swings further and further to the left.<br><br>But then Chris Lauzen said that the former Sun Times building got a low assessment to be supportive to the Daley machine.<br><br>One hand washes the other in Chicago....<br><br>Oh, but why continue... no one cares anyway..... Why criticize Daley when you can go to the theater and rave about a show called WICKED! How appropriate!Louisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-12777710975635605262006-12-09T02:34:18.000-06:002006-12-09T02:34:18.000-06:00Near the end of your article, you say "...Fit...Near the end of your article, you say "...Fitzgerald knew all along that then leaker was Richard Armitage...".

If the police hadn't stood in their way, the demonstrators (rioters?) would have stormed the convention hall, driven off the Humphrey delegates. I do not think Eugene McCarthy would have accepted the nomination had it been offered under those circumstances. The "delegates" would have then turned to Ted Kennedy or George McGovern. The long term result would have been to set a precedent whereby leftist radicals could veto the convention choice by threatening to riot.Mike Beckernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-53632286542875740642006-12-08T05:40:13.000-06:002006-12-08T05:40:13.000-06:00What would have happened at the Democratic Convent...What would have happened at the Democratic Convention in 1968 had Mayor Daley acted more like the Mayor of Seattle did in dealing with the rioters at the WTO Conference? I think the rioters would have stormed the convention hall, driven off the Humphrey delegates and attempted to nominate Eugene McCarthy. I say attempted, because I don't believe McCarthy would have accepted the nomination under those circumstances. The delegates would then have turned to Ted Kennedy or George McGovern. That would have set a precedent that the radical left could riot and overthrow the party leadership at will.Mike Beckernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-55742211263792478792006-12-08T05:15:40.000-06:002006-12-08T05:15:40.000-06:00His father went to daily Mass, he rides in gay rig...His father went to daily Mass, he rides in gay rights parades.
