I have a gripe on my mind tonight, and I might as well get rid of it. I'm
not saying Democra
ts are pure. In fact, I think this cabinet member/judicial candidate battle
was started not with Bork, but with Senator John Tower of Texas, when he was
nominated way back when for a cabinet position--probably in Reagan's cabinet,
and the Dems turned up some dirt about his drinking. I knew then that it was
a mistake and it turned out to be a horrible one.
But, when the subject of fixed elections comes up, they always mention
Kennedy, Chicago and Mayor Daley---that's an urban legend. John Kennedy was
enormously popular in Chicago. People loved him, he had the same charisma
maybe even more, that Bill Clinton has.Nobody had to bring any dead bodies out
to
vote for Kennedy in Chicago, II was present at the torchlight parade running
down Madison Avenue the Friday before the election. He sat on the back seat
of an open convertible, Eunice beside him, and the crowds were ten feet deep
on each side for the length of the parade. He didn't need dead bodies to vote
for him.
In contrast, fifty miles outside of Chicago, it is literally the south.
Cairo, Illinois is a southern town. There isn't a democratic poll watcher
outside the city of Chicago in all the rest of the state's 102 counties. In
Chicago the legend is that the city reports in first, then the rest of the
state
sees what has to be done, and fixes their figures for the Republicans.
So, I'm tired of people writing that illegal voting started with the
Democrat Chicago vote in '61.
As far as it pertains to the blue/red map and the obvious steal in THIS
election, think of the urban centers such as Philadelphia, Cleveland, and
yes, Chicago which is part of a blue state this year, I'm proud to acknowledge.
But, check out THIS fact. Some years ago, an independent named Dan
Walker ran and won, and then ran for a second term. He won every one of the
102
counties except Cook, Chicago's county---and lost. So, let's just muse for a
moment, and suppose that dead people didn't really vote in Chicago, but live
people who honestly believed in John Kennedy, and no republican challenger was
there to throw black people's ballots out?
What is my point? Well, other than being sick and tired of hearing that
Nixon should have won in '61, I'd really like everyone to take a good hard
look at the red/blue states. There aren't that many people living in the red
states,it's an exact approximation of the map of Illinois. There are tons of
counties there, but besides Chicago and the University towns, nobody much
lives
there. Because Illinois is a blue state, they couldn't pull here what they
obviously pulled in Ohio and the other states. So Kerry won Pennsyvania.
Probably not by what he should have.
40 Acres and a mule? Hell, blacks haven't got the vote yet..
