Answer 5

To get into politics in Illinois you have to be trusted by the crooked people who run the Dem party,You have to start off as a petty thief and slowly graduate to major crimes but you must not get caught, This qualifies you as a prospect to become a nominee,, However if your father was a good crooked politician you are automatically qualified, If your Black Chicago is the place to start,Easy place to show your potential as a thief by coning the poor with phony promises of better housing,This never fails

Answer 6

Is it any coincidence that [Texas] is both heavily [Republican] AND dealing with a ton of corruption?

I feel you can replace the first bracket with any state, and the second bracket with the most prominent party in that state and come up with a similar flawed question.

Answer 7

It's not coincidence...it's logical progression.

Answer 8

No coincidence. I'm Chicago born and raised under the "Major Daily" machine. I also have a long memory. Just check out the "history" of one "Rev." Jesse Jackson. His "roots" go all the way back to Chicago and the Head Start Program, where several thousands of dollars turned up "missing" under his watch. Hmmm...People sure have selective memory. If people don't do their homework, they'll "fail" to recognize corruption when it rears its head, and deserve what they vote for. This goes for ANY candidate. I'm sure Illinois isn't the only state that's got a ton of corruption. It's just that Illinios is a little more proud of it and not shy to show it. <*)))><
