GOP the party that believes if a rape ..... Oops make that a legitimate rape, the woman won't get pregnant.
GOP the party that wants to hand over social security to the economic rapists of wall st.
GOP the party that makes Dold look like a moderate.
Vote Dem for a better America

The democrats believe that raping taxpayers is legitimate.
On March 11, 2004, Schakowsky's husband, lobbyist Robert Creamer, the executive director of the Illinois Public Action Fund, was indicted in federal court on 16 counts of bank fraud involving three alleged check-kiting schemes in the mid-1990s, leading several banks to experience shortfalls of at least $2.3 million. Schakowsky was on the board of that group at the time.

The economy was good throughout the Bush admin, until the housing crisis kicked off. I suggest you read a bit more about what caused the housing crisis, as you are easy prey to Democrat's attempt to lump this into one neat little package. Kind of like they all voted for the war in Iraq, 99-1, and soon rendered the polictical yield in stepping aside and pointing fingers.

If Congressman Dold's voting record was identical to Rep Schakowsky’s, The Democrats would say that was only so he could be re-elected.

I could almost see our Country in 2023, after another term by President Obama and maybe two terms by Hillary Clinton, in economic turmoil. The Democrats would still be saying it's Bush's fault but we're going in the right direction. Just give us a little longer.

Cantor a radical? What would possess the author of this article to seek the extremist opinions of Jan Shakowsky? And then run an article allowing this extremist to do what the Tribune and other real media call laughable, portray Dold as a Tea Partier? And she does it to Cantor too?

Here is a NEWSFLASH for Patch: there are plenty of moderate Jewish organizations and moderate Jewish voters who are supporting Dold, a fellow moderate.

As Chairman of the Republican Party of Moraine Township I run across them all the time. They are all far too intelligent to be fooled by this nonsensical article which was designed to be what the Daily Herald calls "blatantly misleading" about how Democrats try to portray Dold.

Asking Shakowsky her opinions about Republicans is just as credible as asking Joe Walsh his opinions about Democrats.

You shouldn't be concerned about the few dead enders who still support Obama. They are either government employees, union lackeys, welfare recipients or trust fund babies with drug problems.
No one else buys into his hope and change nonsense anymore. The blame Bush game isn't working and their own race baiting tactics are working against them in polling too. They've made people so sensitive to being called a racist if they don't support Obama that when polled, a lot of those people claim to be in favor of Obama when in fact they won't vote for him. The race is a dead heat now according to polling, but it will be a different story come election day.
Working people know they are paying nearly five bucks or more per gallon for gas now compared to under two dollars before Obama. They've watched the prices of staple items quadruple in price in the last four years. And most (if they still have a job) haven't seen a raise in years either. Now we are hearing that the explanation of the debacle in Libya that killed our ambassador was a complete fabrication by the White House to fit the narrative that Obama has a good foreign policy. It's as much an abysmal failure as his domestic policy.

'patch'typical of many media sites/ democratic party shills/ promoting a left wing agenda. socialism only works until politicians run out of other people's money!......obama and the democrats are out of money....turn out the lights...the 'great society' programs are over.obama record= 45 million on food stamps/record deficits/an 'obamacare' that promises health care for all which is a complete fantasy/ the golden age of unemployment 99 weeks....a story today in the news tells of record apple crops but that farmers cant get enough 'pickers' so 1/3 will rot in the fields! with the obesity/unemployment issues in this country why not bus in the unemployed for some exercise and work? how about that for an idea! but no...too politically incorrect of course!

To quote JS, "He (Dold) is a radical in moderate clothing..." Straight rhetoric with nothing to back up her statements. How about this from JS's website
"Creating 2.2 million jobs"? When there are 23 million people unemployed. How about seeking $20 million for the Global Education Initiative (particularly for girls--why not all children?). She doesn't understand our problems, doesn't live in the real world. We need to try and get people to think critically why we support JS when we are on the verge of national bankruptcy and chronically unemployed.
We need reporting that holds our representatives to a higher standard as well.

Speaking of not deserving to hold his office....after our intervention on Libya. At a cost of millions/billions/. Obama state dept deserted our ambassador despite his pleas for help and was murdered......hmmm?and hewishes to be reelected?!?!

Jan Schakowsky's views on Dold are newsworthy? Really? Since this is not a paper and the electronic ink is free, I guess anything will do for a story. Jan Schakowsky, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Bernie Sanders, Mike Madigan.....when will this country learn that these type of people exist to serve themselves and not the constituents. I should probably throw in my opponent for 9th District Senate, Dan Biss, into this group as well. They really have no clue, but what the hell, it's not their money they are playing with...

Eric Cantor, Virginia's favorite bailout queen.

After the first bailout vote failed, he stamped his feet and demanded that Pelosi round up her dem sheep and get the bill passed. Cantor is a petulant twit.

His wife sits on a number of bank boards so you can see where his bread is buttered.

"Eric Cantor was willing to put the full faith and credit of the United States of America on the line for his fiscal madness," Schakowsky said."

A pinko has no standing calling out anyone for fiscal madness.

Nancy "Manson Eyes" Pelosi:
According to Pelosi’s 2011 financial disclosure statement, the Democratic House Minority Leader received between $1 million and $5 million in partnership income from ”Matthews International Capital Management LLC,” a group that emphasizes that it has a “A Singular Focus on Investing in Asia.” A quick trip to the company website reveals a featured post extolling the virtues of outsourcing.

Obama the hypocrite:
Opensecrets.org data, a group that uses data from the Federal Election Commission to report candidate fundraising, reports that Obama has received more than $152,000 from Bain capital employees. Three employees alone at Bain Capital have given a total of $96,400 to a joint committee on fundraising operated by the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

And then there's Valerie Jarret, close advisor to Obama and well known Chicago dirty dealer:
Valerie Jarrett’s financial disclosure form filed May 4 lists a line of credit from a Bermuda insurance company valued between $100,000 and $250,000.

Congresswoman and current Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), has got to be one of the most incompetent, polarizing, and habitual liars ever to serve as Chair of a major party. Whereas everyone these days has been making a big stink about Republicans throwing around harsh rhetoric, it has recently been shown that when you want to see how it’s really done, you ask a Democrat.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is the worst kind of hypocritical Washington politician. She has called out Governor Romney for his wealth, while having a Swiss bank account and plenty of investments in foreign drug companies of her own. It has also come to light recently that she has been amassing a great amount of personal wealth. Not only has her bank account been expanding rapidly, but so has her number of luxury cars. One wonders if she would be as reluctant to answer questions about such things.

The all around undisputed champion of harsh rhetoric, lies, and being caught in lies has got to be Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Not only has she been caught lying and saying hateful things, but he has done so after repeatedly calling for increased civility.

Really, Jan, a squirrel alert? Rep. Schakowsky is so far out of touch with the constituents and the economic needs of her Congressional District, she probably thinks that she is running against Bob Dold for her Congressional seat ! !
She has no economic or jobs solutions for Illinois, so she has to play the old game "There's a squirrel! " (and everyone looks) to take the voters eyes off her own ineffectual policies and ideology that is stifling (killing?) small business growth here in Illinois and our Nation. If you are even mildly interested in getting the economy growing again in the 9th Congressional District, check out her real opponent, Tim Wolfe, a small business owner and pro-small business proponent. You can check out many interviews of Ms. Schakowsky on YouTube, and in print, and come to the conclusion that this Congressional District needs private sector jobs, new fiscal leadership and not a continuation of her self-described "progressive" ultra big government solution. Don't let Jan Schakowsky play "the squirrel game" with your vote.We need paychecks, Jan, not squirrel alerts.

There's one of the dead enders bringing up "Cheney." What their rabid fascination is with him is beyond rational thought?
Put down the Prozac bottle (or bong) and listen; Bush and Cheney have been gone for four years. The fiscal, employment, foreign, debt and high prices, low wages mess you have now is ALL on Obama! And if by some tragedy he gets elected to another four years, it will be an even larger mess. Obamas incompetence is only exceeded by his arrogance and the delusions of his followers. I realize you're prone to eidetic memory, but come on? Wake up and smell the cat food already!

Steve Sadin, you should be utterly and completely ashamed of your supposed "reporting." You are a founding member of 10th District Dems and have pulled Dem primary ballots for many years running. Luckily nobody reads your trash articles--because patch is a joke publication--but it's still shameful that you would deem this newsworthy. Wow, perhaps the most partisan member of Congress is criticizing the Republican Majority Leader. Shocking. Not to mention that Pelosi was just in town for Schneider. Mr. Sadin: you should be ashamed of your biased reporting and maybe read the endorsements of two real publications: Daily Herald and Chicago Tribune.

also Dold is runing as an independent

Isn't Cantor the guy that votes HIS POSITIONS IN THE MARKET ?

Dold is running as loyal GOP
And votes as he is told to by the reactionary far right
His party puts a congressman on the science committee who believes the earth is 9000 yrs old
His party has members that believe its OK to kill your own children ( no not a fetus or Zygote)
His party believes the bible supersedes the US Constitution
his party is destroying the US middle class
His party believes slavery was GOOD for African Americans
His party believes corporation are people
His party has a POTUS. Candidate who believes when he dies he will become a GOD on another planet
HIS PARTY
HIS PARTY
AND ROBERT DOLD VOTES AS HE IS TOLD

I can see how you're "Bringing Down Briarwood."
Which or all of the following describes you?
A. Government Employee
B. Union Lackey
C. Welfare Recipient
D. Trust Fund Doper Baby
E. All the above

Do nothing Republican Congress. And before you cite a Senate Majority for the Dems. Do remember, the Republicans have utilized the filibuster to a great extent.

And my bringing up of Wasserman- Shultz and Valerie Jarret and the rest of the Red Diaper Doper Baby Gang was in response to Mr. Farkas.

The " do nothing Senate" is blocked not by the Dems
Rather the record setting Republican filibusters
Perhaps you didn't take Civics in High school
Which is an explanation why you make up facts ala Fox

Today's Republicans would deem Reagan himself as "too liberal".

To those saying that Bush turned the Clinton surplus into deficits, your right. Let’s look back at history to better understand why. With the last year of Clinton's presidency and the first year of Bush came the dot-com bubble burst and the economy began to lose speed and decline. With moves Bush made (like tax cuts), the economy started to get better, then 9/11. We took the war to the terrorists, fighting on their turf, not ours, and it worked. We all are safer because of these wars and should thank every soldier we see for their brave service. Despite these unforeseen issues, the economy started to turn around and actually boomed for a period of time after 9/11, then the housing bust. This was caused by both parties.

Well it's a little after 5 and Romney has already walked back the abortion position he took yesterday. So, I hope to get this right. I may be missing a couple of flip flops....In the Mass. Governors primary he was pro-choice, as Governor he was Pro-Life, in the Republican Primary he was a pro-life 'severe' conservative, in the General Election he stated he was not going to sign any pro- life legislation as President, and now 24 hours later he walks that statement back. Do you people see a trend here?

Afganistan is a mess, the middle east is a mess, Iran will have a nuke in a couple of months, and Obama lied about the embassy attack. Our bridges and infrustructure are just fine, relax this is an old lib line from the old school playbook. Iraq, no thanks to Obama who was against the surge, was pretty much over before Obama was sworn in.

Has Obama said anything different now than what he campaigned on in 2008? I'd like to know, since things are worse now than when he was sworn in.

She is an Anti-Gun Politician that is unfit to serve!

If you are extremely wealthy and lack empathy then Romney/Ryan are just right for you. If you are not wealthy but lack the ability for empathy and you're a low information voter, then Romney/Ryan and their GOP team may get your vote even though you may live to regret it when you can't get affordable healthcare, your wife, partner or daughter is forbidden from terminating an unwanted pregnancy, you lose your job at a small business and someone elses religion begins to rule your civil life.
If on the other hand you're an informed voter and like the rest of us then you better dust yourself off and get off your butt and help keep this country from falling into the hands of a Social Ideology that will undo 80 years of progress. These folks are social engineering us back to the 1800's and they now have a chance of winning and taking our country. Nuff said, get busy!

Patrick, are all those statistics really just a dog whistle for race matters? Your motivation must be social engineering should your needs be connected to getting a job.

Republicans: the FIRST political party in America that FORCES women to undergo an unnecessary, painful, costly, embarrassing, and religiously motivated internal vaginal probe procedure that may be against the will of the woman. I suppose men would bend over for a similar legislatively forced probing to determine prostate health before procreation activities were permitted by law!?! We call this Due Process. Why aren't women screaming at the top of their lungs about this obvious governmental abuse of power and loss of freedom? And the Republicans are the party of smaller government?

“He (Dold) is a radical in moderate clothing. He is exposing who he really is when he hitches up with Eric Cantor,” Schakowsky said. Obama is hitched up with Bill Ayers and Reverend Wright. Using Schakowsky's logic, that would make Obama a radical Commie racist............

From Wikipedia: Husband's bank fraud and tax evasion convictions
On March 11, 2004, Schakowsky's husband, lobbyist Robert Creamer, the executive director of the Illinois Public Action Fund, was indicted in federal court on 16 counts of bank fraud involving three alleged check-kiting schemes in the mid-1990s, leading several banks to experience shortfalls of at least $2.3 million.[17] In August 2005, Creamer pleaded guilty to one count of failure to collect withholding tax, and bank fraud for writing checks with insufficient funds. All of the money was repaid. Schakowsky was not accused of any wrongdoing. Schakowsky served on the organization's board during the time the crimes occurred, and Schakowsky signed the IRS filings along with her husband. U.S. District Judge James B. Moran noted no one suffered "out of pocket losses," and Creamer acted not out of greed but in an effort to keep his community action group going without cutting programs, though Creamer paid his own $100,000 salary with fraudulently obtained funds. On April 5, 2006, Creamer was sentenced to five months in prison and 11 months of house arrest.Creamer served his five-month incarceration at the Federal Correction Institute in Terre Haute, Indiana and was released on November 3, 2006. Blaho was considering Schakowsky to fill Obamass' vacant Senate seat. Birds of a corrupt feather.........

The Tribune endorsement of Tim Wolfe says everything we need to know about where we are and where we need to be.

CHANGE: “The Chicago Tribune announced this morning they are endorsing fiscal conservative Tim Wolfe over Cong. Jan Schakowsky in the 9th District congressional race in Illinois. This is huge.”
Cong. Jan Schakowsky, a member of the Progressive Caucus, marches with Occupy and cavorts with radicals. She’s had a dinner held in her honor at by the Democratic Socialists of America. The Huffington Post included her in a list of politicians who started their careers as community organizers. Oh, and her convicted felon husband Robert Creamer wrote the first drafts of Obamacare from his jail cell while serving time for check-kiting.

Tim Wolfe is a private citizen, an accountant who has not dabbled in community organizing or professional politicanhood. He believes in the American dream and has his own American story. I’ve met him over the course of the campaign and have been impressed by his commitment to fiscal responsibility, tireless campaigning, and humility. He’s not seeking the spotlight or a cushy career like his opponent but to serve his constituents.

After reading all these comments I understand why I watch so much sports. At least they don't turn my stomach, don't take anything out of my wallet, and the sun still shines no matter who is president.

Just the other day the Daily Herald wrote in their endorsement of the current Congresswoman that they hoped Ms. Schakowsky would be less partisan in the future. Oops. Maybe the Daily Herald should have endorsed Tim Wolfe. The Chicago Tribune did. We need A New Direction for the New 9th. Vote Wolfe.

Tim Wolfe
Candidate, US Congress, IL 9th District
www.TimWolfeforCongress.com

In watching Ms. Schakowsky's interviews, and reading her own words, it it almost if she is representing the old pre-Gorbachev Politiburo instead of her Congressional District. Whether a person votes as an Independent, Democrat or Republican in the 9th Congressional District, the voters in the 9th Congressional district all live in Illinois! Ms. Schakowky's out-of-touch, polarizing ideology has done absolutely nothing to create private sector jobs and small business growth, right here in the Illinois 9th Congressional District. There is an opportunity to start re-building Illinois' fiscal future on November 6th; and it starts with having the courage and conviction to vote this extremely polarizing ideologue out of office.Split your ticket, if necessary, but this is important.

I got to know Jan by listening to her comments On Don Wade and Roma radio show.She is a shill for obama and the dems.

Will Jan Schakowsky be retired tomorrow?

For the sake of future generations, I hope so!

The Congressional Budget Office's just-released economic forecast for 2013 is dispiriting, to say the least. The GDP is expected to grow by only 1.4%, the unemployment rate will "stay near" 8%, the deficit will reach $845 billion, and ObamaCare will cost 7 million their health insurance.
