It’s official, the month of October 2008 saw the lowest death rate of U.S. troops in Iraq for any month since the war began.

Meanwhile, the murder rate in Obama’s home town, Chicago, already the highest in the nation, continues to climb. The murder toll in Chicago for 2008 is 426, which exceeds the U.S. death toll in Iraq for 2008 by 144.

After decades of liberal control with massive federal spending the problem in Chicago just gets worse and worse.

Is this the kind of “change” Obama would bring to the entire nation?

So are you arguing for greater federal control of states DSR?

The supreme court is already moving that way. You are now arguing that the US Senate has a responsibility to govern municipalities?

We might as well follow the rabbit further. Then, since Cheney is part of the Senate, according to Cheney, and then, according to Palin, ultimately in charge of the Senate, isn't the situation in Chicago Cheney's fault?

Your rhetoric gets wilder by the second.

Maybe we should pull our troops out of Chicago?

You see, that is why he wants to create his own personal police force. 😉

The tripe that DSR posts is propaganda which only placates people who who already think the same way he does. It does absolutely nothing to convince anyone who doesnt agree with him/her. He is of a single mind set and dead set against putting forth his arguments that he will grasp at loosely similar concepts to make his point.

I would say that DSR has a point about Chicago save a few things:
1.) OBama is not to blame for it.. that city has been a bastion of crap since long before Obama was born.
2.) YOu can point the finger at other cities in the US as well.. its just convenient for you because Obama is a rep from there.
3.) You fail to include the deaths of civilians in Iraq. Don't civilians count in your numbers or Iraqi civilians not quite worthy enough?

Seriously DSR, come up with better ways to present your arguments than this. You need to get out of cage more.
