And you think the Illinois Republicans are any better? I used to live in DuPage county and the Republicans were as bad as the reputation of the Chicago Democrats.
The real proof was back in 1960 when the Republicans accused Mayor Daley of throwing the election for Kennedy and demanded a recount in the City of Chicago. Daley, knowing the corruption in the Republican counties said that he would agree to a recount if the recount was for the whole state, not just Chicago. The Republicans backed down.

  WRONG, skeptic.
  The recount in Illinois was stopped by NIXON, because he did not want to cause the kind of crisis that Algore was ALL TOO WILLING to unleash in 2000.
  Nixon, for all his faults, was a FAR BETTER MAN than Algore.

    Err, we aren't talking about the Nixon who had to resign the presidency for cheating on an election, right? The one recorded forever swearing and plotting and just in general being a corrupt doofus?
    So who is this nobel prize Nixon with the unfortunate name?

      And you're talking about the Daley I think you're talking about? The guy who made Al Capone look honest? Daley was one of the most corrupt officials ever to come out of Chicago. It's good to see his son maintaining the family tradition.

        Oh! I see your point...
        Chicago had a crooked dem mayor, so Prez Nixon was ok.
        It's a kind of balance.

      Nixon didn't have to resign for cheating on an election, an election that he won by the LARGEST MARGIN in US history, by the way.
      He was forced to resign, by Republican senators, no less, because he had engaged in a cover-up of a 'dirty tricks' campaign by underlings in his campaign. It is from Watergate that the phrase was coined, "it's not the crime, it's the cover-up'.
      The 'crimes' were so inconsequential, as to be silly. Nixon would have been better off if he had just left the bunch to hang in the wind, but he didn't, and the rest is history.

    Corruption comes in 2 parties, Republican and Democrat. Neither is lilly white when it comes to doing the right thing for the American people. They have cheated us, lied to us, one time to many. Middle class American is sick of all of them. That is one reason the dream act of last summer that McCain & Kennedy promoted and almost passed. Remember the bill where all illegals would have become citizens? Since the politicians have alienated most of the American Tax paying public they need 'new sheep' new voters to BS for a few years until they get smart, hence the need for making illegals citizens. They want their votes and their labor.
