I understand we do not see the entire unedited version of the tape, but this alderman's father just caught a federal case for making forged ID's for illegals.

Yep one of my biggest reasons for not voting for Obama. He's a Chicago politician. They're as bad as the ones here in Rhode Island.

This belongs in "Slam Obama"

Do not say it is not a vaguely disguised attack on Obama. If you can't stick to one topic to post this junk in. Perhaps it is better posted on Free Republic.

Ooops now your Free Republic crack has made it worthy of the Slam McCain thread... If only you had kept your mouth shut.

It looks to me a kick-back situation is taking place. Condos? I suspect there is some money passing hands with this city official concerning the condos. Marion Barry did the same thing here in Washington. The new route plans for the subway system was given to his son who then purchased all the abandoned condos at the end of subway stations to be built. He did the rehab and sold these condos for thousands of dollars. Corrupt government is alive and well. Marion Barry was doing great getting over the people until, "The bitch set me up." crack pipe incident.

I used to say this Jokingly, but now I mean it. I have more respect for the likes of Al Capone than politicians and lawyers.

Amen. At least you knew where Capone was coming from

My Dad grew up back east and he swore to me that the milk they got in school came from none other than Uncle Al.

I was talking to an older gentleman awhile back who remembers young kids selling Joe Kennedys bootleg whiskey for a buck a shot at train stations and other public venues.
