Looks like you guys have your work cut out for you to pull out more people with your own “Chicago Tea Party” to swamp these guy..!

Democrat voters are the cretins who walk into the polling place on election day and vote for big government to confiscate more money... from their neighbors... so that it may be "redistributed" to them by Democrat politicians in exchange for their votes.

Can you imagine any behavior more rude and selfish? That's Democrats for you...

The "protesters" from this story are those very cretins, and they want big thuggish government to confiscate more money from their neighbors... and "redistribute" it to them. That is who these scumbags are. As always, whether they get what they want depends on whether the parasites outnumber the hosts.

This is what the gov always does when faced with a deficit. They never cut spending in their own ranks, they always cut the services so they can stir the leeches up and have them calling, as they are in Chicago now, for tax increases. They are trying the same thing in CA but I don't think it will work here as well. For one thing, most people in CA, even the libs, are aware that the illegals are the big money suckers and the next biggest unnecessary spending is done for global warming BS. Then we have all the extra people hired by Ahhhnold and others. There are many ways in every state to cut spending and corruption but it won't be done until the producers of each state stand up and fight back.

Chicago should be mounting counter protests with taxpayers, chanting "Cut the taxes, cut the spending!".

It took a few months to diagnose. We went the hospital / dehydration route as well. She currently takes two, 4mg cyproheptadines at night. This controls things most of the time. We also have some dissolve under the tongue ondansetron - 4mg for when things get bad and she’s going to have an episode. It’s such a bizarre condition. We too are hoping she outgrows it.

Erm. Those leeches and moochers pay no taxes. They’re chanting ‘tax the working folks more’ so we can keep on mooching on the system.

DING! DING! DING! WE HAVE A WINNER!!

On first read I got the same impression, that the taxpayers were clamoring to pay more taxes, but after reading it a bit more carefully it was more of the SOS. Tax-Takers posing as Tax-Payers demanding to be more heavily taxed. Hardly a shocker! Oldest story in the book. Reminds me of the great ol’ Christian hymn “Tell Me the Old Old Story”!

We are rapidly approaching the point where there's more people taking than giving. Newt described it as more people riding in the wagon than pushing the wagon.

Something’s gotta give!
