Grant Park was the site of clashes during the Democratic National Convention in 1968.
I agree there will probably be trouble no matter what. I also predict Chicago 1968 will look like a Sunday School Picnic compared to Chicago 2008 if Barry loses.

Missing from this great photo: Sarahs son, who is on active duty. Also, not in the photo, three of John McCain's sons, who have have carried on the family military tradition, with Doug McCain, who served as a Navy pilot and is now out of the Navy. Jack McCain, soon to graduate from the Naval Academy. Jimmy McCain, enlisting in the Marines at the age of 17. The latter returned home safely from his seven-month tour of duty in Iraq in February 2008

I wouldn’t want to be in that crowd either way but if Bambi loses that is going to be one ugly scene.

This is going to be the largest gathering of racists, bigots, Communists, Marxists and freeloaders in this nation’s history.

I’d better get some popcorn, so I can sit at my home in the suburbs (that Barry hates) and watch the fun on tv.

Maybe the Police could do a sweep for criminals before the election is over with???????? Sure hope the National Guard is there....but....they would be burning down their own city....what the hell....let them. Clean out Chicago a little bit.

And Obama and friends should’ve known this. The fact they’d put people and property at risk is just further evidence of how irresponsible they are.

Why haven’t I seen a post of the Kerry Supporters crying??
I have purchased a box of microwave popcorn and a pony keg of Heinekin to have for election night viewing. The meltdown we are going to witness will be historic and hilarious.

I’m guessing it’ll take longer for Chicago to burn down than when Mrs. O’Leery’s cow set it on fire.

I decided to stay away from the criminal elements. That would really get ugly. LOL!

Pray for rain and cold weather. Why? Less to worry about.
