He may be a Democrat but he governs like a moderate Republican and thats why I like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If more republicans were like him philosophically(sp?), I'd be a republican. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daley doesn't deserve any political label except "mafia boss" The fact that he is still a mayor after all of the corruption that goes on around him, yet never quite seems to include him :rolly is a joke.

He's the mayor of the third largest city in the country. Why would he know the day-to-day dealings of every department? It's like saying the Superintendent of one of the largest school districts in the world should be considered corrupt because he didn't stop a group of 8th graders at Smith Jr. High from intimidating kids out of their lunch money.

I still don't understand what the big deal was about his ranting and raving speech. Personally I thought it was hysterical. In all seriousness though he's goofy.

IMO Dean would have been a much better canditate. The guy would have provided a clear contrast to GWB, and he has a history of standing up for what he believes. I have no doubts if Dean would have survived the knives in the primaries, he would be our President-elect now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wong & Owens Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Or like saying GWB should know what is going on in a prision in Iraq? Well, yes. I never held the president responsible for the actions of some 20-year old hillbilly manly-girl. How is Meigs Field a sign of corruption? From everything I've heard/read, most people(myself included) have no problem with the mayor removing Meigs. The only people who didn't like it are whiny business exec's who now have to get a ride in from O'Hare or Midway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never used it, I probably never will, but the peoblem I had with it is a rogue politician doing whatever he wants. Where's the checks and balances? He hardly took any heat over it.

He hardly took any heat over it, because nobody wanted the airport there anymore. I wouldn't let Springfield tell me how to run my city either.

To be honest I don't believe Rich Daley for one second when he saids he doesn't know what is going on during a scandel. He micromanages so much of this city, yet when a $500 million contract gets into the hands of a mob figure, all of the sudden he doesn't know anything. It doesn't add up to me. And I don't believe the Bush admin when they said they didn't know anything about Abu Grahd. It is the samething IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Daley is an asshole and, unfortunately, he'll probably be mayor until he decides that he doesn't want to be mayor anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowerCaseRepublican Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Or like saying GWB should know what is going on in a prision in Iraq? Taking the tangent further, Rumsfeld could and should be held accountable after memos supporting and advocating torture techniques were found sent with DoD approval.

Maybe you think this picture of Dean is funny but it's not, it's beyond offensive. You can disagree with his politics but this needs to be removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
