Alexi Giannoulias: He'd Make Tony Soprano Proud

[DowJones16WB]

It looks like Alexi Giannoulias has landed on his feet Governor Pat Quinn of Illinois has tap Alexi Giannoulias to run the state of Illinois Community College board.It looks like an insider helping out another insider.I guess Governor Quinn couldn't find work for over 12,000 people looking for work at a job fair at Chicago State.But he can find work for Alexi Giannoulias.

Google kimlene05 and read all the vile he spews

[hulkyone]

I'm a Democrat, BUT I CERTAINLY DESPISE ALEXI'S OBVIOUS MOB WORK. This victory for Kirk also sent a clear message to our bastard President Obama: YOU CAN'T EVEN INFLUENCE WHO HOLDS YOUR FORMER SENATE SEAT.

[jakenipperus]

he should have one, and hes damn hot

WE BEAT HIM!!!!!!!!!

[drifterted]

Kimlene05... You have definitely proven my point.

[macelloget92]

Chicago is all that matters in IL except for Champaign 

[echoplex89]

@macelloget92

i agree!

[D422008]

who do you think is in the top 5 in the world in producing corn and beans? illinois we put ethnol in your gas tank, whiskey in your glass, clothes on your back, biodiesel in your trucks to get your food to your house? beardstown and morton are the hog capital and pumpkin captial of the world. Hogs make bacon, sausage , pork chops . the only thing that has come out of chicago is CORRUPT POLITIANS! Peoria, Catapillar. Bloomington,State Farm, so see there is more to this state than Chi town

[drifterted]

@kimlene05 That is because only the uninformed and ignorant would vote for Giannoulias or Kirk and now even the ignorant have started to arm themselves with truth and fact (yourself excluded).

[drifterted]

@kimlene05 Your deduction skills are very lacking. I would stick to what you do best, name calling and repeating what you hear on TV because you certainly lack any sort of knowledge or intelligence on any subject. I did not vote for Clinton, Obama, Bush, or Barr as all appeared to me to be just like you, simpleton corporatists.

[TheAntinode]

very effective indeed

[drifterted]

Mike Labno IL US Senate

[drifterted]

@kimlene05 Leftatarian? Sounds like a Bushism... Libertarians are not left wing. You certainly are the poster child of corporate amerika brainwashing.

[drifterted]

I'm sure Kirk and Soros go way back(Both LSE Grads). He shows his Fabian Society thoughts because he certainly doesn't follow Hayek's Austrian or classical liberalism views. Kirks best votes are below and mirror Giannoulias.

Voted For TARP Bailout Funds in return for over $796000 in campaign contributions from the TARP banks and their Political Action Committees

Voted With Barbara Boxer to Ram Cap and Trade through the House HR 2454

Voted No On Energy Independence Drilling ANWAR HR 6515

[backagain20101]

@kimlene05 What is your two party system ?????? Republican's and Criminals ????

I'm sorry to say but Chicago has that rep tied to them " Criminal capital of the USA "

Just look what's come out of Chicago -- Obama, Alexi, Blagajerich and let's not froget Rahm Good luck Chicago i sure hope you all wake up and do some thing about this.

[drifterted]

@kimlene05 HA! Calling me names for not wanting to vote in another criminal. It's people like you that infested the Tea Party and brought with you corporate bought puppets like Sarah Pallin.

[drifterted]

@kimlene05 I'd like Mike Labno to take 20% from both Kirk and Giannoulias

[drifterted]

@kimlene05 You are a sell out. You state that you know Kirk and you are no fan of him but to spite Giannoulias you will vote for a verified liar.

I want people who don't follow politics to NOT vote and those who educate themselves to vote for who they agree with not for the guy that is second place in corruption.

[drifterted]

@kimlene05 It doesn't matter if Kirk or Giannoulias wins... How do you not see that? Kirk will vote yes on selling out this country just like Giannoulias will. At least with Jones you know he won't sell out.

[drifterted]

@kimlene05 Stick this in your youtube and watch it

Congressman Mark Kirk Runs Away from Iraq Vet, War

[drifterted]

@kimlene05 Perhaps not but he's not running for a state job. He did vote for TARP / Bank Bailouts and plans to vote for CAP and TRADE once elected. He's a huge proponent of the REAL ID act and is a liar. I can source the lies with URLs if you like.

[drifterted]

@kimlene05 I have standards and flushing a vote IS voting for someone that I know is going to screw up this country. I'm making a statement and upholding my standards and beliefs I have. You have all the right to vote for whoever you want, and stating that Kirk is a liar and Giannoulias is a crook is truth. So go vote for a liar that believes in taxing or a crook in the pocket of Obama. I have nothing against Jones except that I do not agree with his policies.

[drifterted]

@kimlene05 That's what voting for Kirkoulias is.

[drifterted]

Mike Labno for Senate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bwashington222]

We shall see? Is that your best response? Look "liberal Kirk voting liberal douche kimlene05", you keep spouting off about we "real americans" but don't even bother to capitalize the "A". What, are you too lazy? Naah. As we can see from your 4 month history of post to this page, you are intimately familiar with the CAPS lock. So it must mean that "america" is just an ordinary word for you. Kirk in the senate is a win for the liberals. A REAL American conservative would demand a better candidate.

[drifterted]

@bwashington222

Vote Michael Labno then!

[bwashington222]

Kimmy, I think you mean, VOTE MARK KIRK - THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS.

[bwashington222]

WRONG! I want to talk about the issues. Alas, I'm unable to penetrate ur thick, slanderous persona. I've even allowed u to drag me into your trash talking madness. (I'm so ashamed.) Kimmy, I could care less about the regurgitated campaign fodder and RCP stats. It's nonsense. The generic ballot poll you so confidently quoted, clearly shows a historical trend of BLUE since the 1950s. You call the blip in 94 a "slaughter?" Are u dense? "Slaughter" is the annual 28% big gov snatches from my wallet.

[bwashington222]

Kimmy you are obsessed with douche! What's the matter? Are you experiencing that "not so fresh" feeling? In that case, a "liberal douche" might do you some good. BTW the LCYNRF gang says "Hi."

[bwashington222]

"the lesser of 2-evils",whoa! Kimmy finally agrees Kirk is evil. Welcome to the truth, we've been expecting you. It's a huge swing from the usual "VOTE KIRK 2010" mantra. I wholeheartedly agree w caddy. Kirk is a borderline-liberal fence rider. Not very conservative, but very "confusative" with a wavering record that speaks for itself. Oh Kimmy, funny how you "true" caddy, but call me a "liberal douche..." I'd rather NOT vote than be a blind righty choosing "Republican" across the board.

[chicagojoeX]

In my life, I've only known politics in Illinois to be corrupt. I'd hate to see that change!

[ofcccaddy2004]

mark kirk and alexi could be the 2 biggest scumbags politicians in illinois.. i wish patrick Hughes would have beaten kirk in the primary's.. he was a true conservative

[bwashington222]

hey kimmy, check your REAL CLEAR POLITICS POLL... Apparently you can't just lie to America anymore. EXPERIENCE, INTEGRITY, REFORM. What a joke.

HA! and all your jabbermouthing didn't win ANY votes. Who's the SUCKA now? You'd better get down to the campaign office and intern the sinking ship.

I may still vote Kirk. But you're still a moron. (oops I flamed, hee hee).

[bwashington222]

And here come the homosexual innuendos... like a lost soul spewing nonsense on a screen. I'm guessing an IQ of 85 or so. Poor thing. You have no idea do you? Wow. I'm embarrased for you.

[bwashington222]

So tell me WHAT campaign nonsense did I smear? I'm listening. Did you even watch the Senate debates? You've got a lot of nerve calling ME a liberal. But whatever, I know where I stand and what I stand for. I voted Kirk into office. Do you have any idea what his voting record is? You call me liberal and shout the name of liar liar fence-rider from the rooftops? Can you explain that? Without saying RUBBER STAMP, FIRE PELOSI, 13 BILL and "obongo" Do you even have a point?

[bwashington222]

@kimlene05 Perhaps you hadn't noticed. You're statements are a bit redundant. RUBBER STAMP. I think we get the picture. If you've maxed out your vocab, try a thesaurus. Oh, and there you go again, accusing me of lying. So tell me WHAT campaign nonsense did I smear? I'm listening.

[bwashington222]

@kimlene05 Still boring.

[bwashington222]

Boring.

[bwashington222]

You're off base. I didn't "lie, deny, point fingers..." I never denied Broadway went out of business. But, blaming a single individual is an unsubstantiated opinion at best. No proof of fault has been presented by any authoritative agency. Look, any idiot can rant, flame others, and TYPE IN CAPS. I say again, do some research and get the facts. If the goal is to further conservative causes and candidates, stop regurgitating smear campaign nonsense. You're over 40. Act like it.

[bwashington222]

@kimlene05 - Regarding your quote, "this **** bankrupted his OWN FAMILIES BANK", that's a lie. Do some research. Get the facts.

Kirk, on the other hand, told multiple lies about his military service. When he got busted, his response was an empty apology and a smear campaign vs. Alexi. I will never vote Kirk again.

[theempress999]

Compliments of the Supreme Court dirty attack ads exist since they have proven to be so effective. Corporations have the most money hince support the most attack ads. Money also buy TV time. So all this is about is corporate america wanting to continue where they left all. People have a short memory apparently. They are so easily manipulated by ads, media spin and don't take time to do their own researches Its really the people who are destroying themselves, imo.

[jariece5]

i'm still voting for alexi giannoulias

[GayTexasBoy]

john mccain rapes niggers

[Adams1770]

Kirk voted against the Employee Free Choice Act which will make it easier to form a union by protecting workers from employer intimidition.

Hes voted against bills just like every other obstructionist republican to create jobs in Illinois.

Kirk voted for the job killing CAFTA - Standing up for big corporations while leaving working families behind.

The Republicans have no plan and only serve big business interest while lieing through their teeth and smiling in your face.

[ehong123]

@Adams1770 It's a good thing that Kirk voted against "Employee Free Choice Act", which will eliminate secret ballots. It's a union mob law that shouldn't be in place. The best plan for economy is to cut payroll taxes and business taxes to help business to keep jobs and hire new people. Republican will need to implement these plans to revive the economy, not government stimulus plan.

[JEDIALADDIN]

UNZIP the back of Giannoulias' suit and you will find BLAGO INSIDE!

[streetballerv310]

did you know alexi giannoulias is a cyborg? well you do now. MARK KIRK 2010 "bitches get stitches"

[jwv651]

Alexi Giannoulias would be the worst person for Illinois taxpayers. Blago, Rezko, Obama are his fellow crooks. We need real change in Illinois. Not this corrupt thug.

[guitarist62626]

This is a pathetic ad. I was worried for a while, but if the GOP is running desperate crap like this, then maybe I can relax.

[chad00023]

Alexi Giannoulias? hell no this guy is a career politition and needs to be evicted NEXT---?

[MrSimonGirty]

Can The Good Folks of Southern IL PLEASE rid themselves of the cesspool known as Chicago? I recently visited several other states and when I was asked where i was from I had to explain that I was from Southern IL not IL. Many people thought I was just joking around but i was serious. If you wanna find the place in America where Chicago is hated the most just visit the rest of the state, especially the Southern 1/4. They take our money and resorces to feed the gettoites.

[JEDIALADDIN]

@MrSimonGirty Amen! And the top Chicago hating Southern IL county is MINE! WILLIAMSON! AND WE'LL TEAR APART ANYBODY WHO TRIES TO TAKE THE TITLE FROM US!!! :)

@MrSimonGirty "gettoites"? The word is gHetto. Maybe you should be less concerned with "Southern Pride" and more concerned with the English language before you begin posting about your racists and paranoid phobias.

[taragruber22]

@MrSimonGirty

I'm from north-central IL and I agree - the state is dominated by the beast that is Chicago. I too am sick of people saying "Chicago?" when I say I'm from Illinois. There is much more to the state than just Chicago! The southern part is a completely different culture - more southern. It deserves to be it's own state - either that or let Chicagoland be it's own state and the rest of the state be known as Illinois. It'll never happen though . . . :(

[D422008]

@MrSimonGirty we hate Chi town in central illinois too!!! the chicago politiians took away from our kids programs such as 4-H. I was lucky enough to make it through my 11 years as a 4-H member and 4 years as a FFA member. These programs do not get enough credit!! they really have helped me become who i am today and people from chicago do not get to expierence these program so they think they are worthless!

[jwv651]

The last thing Illinois needs is another crook like Alexi.

[adivinity]

I consider myself a liberal. Im voting Brady and Kirk.

[bwashington222]

@adivinity Do some research. Get the facts. Kirk told multiple lies about his military service. When he got busted, his response was an empty apology and a smear campaign vs. Alexi. I will never vote Kirk again.

[Kane88andToews19]

I can't stand the sight of Mark Kirk but I'd vote for him 10000000x over if he's running against this clown

[RichardE8ST]

Republicans are the masters of deception, and you down state rednecks are too stupid to know the difference.

[ThePoliticalMoose]

The Resume of Alexi Giannoulias:

Senior Loan Officer of Broadway Bank

- Caused banks collapse with risky loans

- Loaned millions to mobsters

Illinois State Treasurer

- Left Illinois' credit rating on par with Greece

- Completely mismanaged pension funds

- Lost $80 million from the Bright Start college fund

Campaign Slogan: Just because I've failed at everything I have ever done doesn't mean I'm 'completely' incompetent!

[marion2431]

Obama rallies against Wall St greed and wants to reform our banks yet he's campaigning for Giannoulias who was a mob-connected banker. His bank was finally taken over by the Feds. By the way, his family took 70 million dollars in bank dividends for years. I wouldn't vote for either one of these guys. Obama talks with forked tongue.

[wogdoggy]

vote out obama's CRONIES..take chicago back..rick santelli for mayor

[logalogalog]

It's too bad that Illinois did not nominate Patrick Hughes. He is a true conservative. Sadly we are stuck with RINO, Mark "Cap n' Traitor" Kirk.

[BurritoSamurai]

OMG I'm a democrat and I HATE ALEXI GIANNOULIAS! ILLINOIS IS 13 FRICKIN BILLION BUCKS IN DEBT! :(

Thats from crook blago.

DO NOT BE DECEIVED ---- - after all the Republican 8 years and the collapse in the economy, are you going back there? People of Illinois, you should know better!

I want to see Alexi Giannoulias" BIRTH CERTIFICATE RIGHT NOW!!!

[MrTabby5000]

YES HES BROTHER TO AL CAPONE.

[logalogalog]

@MrTabby5000

I probably will. Kirk is a RINO.

[mping002]

vote 3rd party in november!!!

[jwv651]

You have to be from Chicago to understand Alexi Giannoulias is another corrupt money hungry, power grabbing politician. Our state is going bankrupt because of these corrupt politicians. The Democrats have ruined this state, We are broke!

[beepeelow]

Alexi's bid for the senate is on weak ground. He's too young, connected to a possibly failing bank, etc..

[ersatzmind]

bla bla bla, these allegations really mean nothing. the fact of the matter is, small banks give out loans to ALOT OF PEOPLE. people need to realize this. while his bank made some bad loans, they also made a loan to my dad who was able to start his own business from the ground up and raise a family, from nothing. alexi is an eager politician who happened to join politics at a scandalous time for Illinois, don't buy into everything you read/spoonfed.

[jimboster]

@ersatzmind

Is your father that Jaws guy they're talking about?

[jwv651]

I have voted for 57 years as a staunch Union Democrat here in Chicago and could never bring myself to vote for this corrupt Alexi Giannoulias. There is no way in hell he would get my vote or my families vote...I'm crossing party lines and voting for Kirk. Mark Kirk is our only choice to end corruption in IL.

[VoiceHunter]

Fire all incumbents of Illinois. Fuck Rod Blagojevich, fuck Alexi Giannoulias, and fuck Kirk.

But I guess I'd vote for Giannoulias.

[VoiceHunter]

Everyone in Illinois is legally fucked after this scandal (except for Obama, the guy who owned the seat in question).

Sorry.

[VoiceHunter]

What the fuck?

[WhereDidItAllGo7]

Thanks Illinois Dem Party...NOT!

[Claronium780]

@WhereDidItAllGo7 The Repubs have no chance of winning nback the Senate !

[milpool001]

@Claronium780 we'll see

[beepeelow]

Congrats Alexi on winning the primary. But you are weak and won't go further.

[midwayflyer]

I think your being genuine but maybe sarcastic... trust me, on the southside we vote republican...afterall, we work for a living!!!

[nsideirish]

Look at the results of elections in the city of Chicago. It is the whites in the Northwest side of the city (Polish, German, and Irish) and the whites from the Southside (mostly Irish) who vote REPUBLICAN. The whites in Lincoln Park, Wrigleyville, etc. are nothing but disillusioned yuppie liberals who grew up in the suburbs and know nothing about Chicago politics.

[Sylocat]

Great, we've got nine more months of THIS to look forward to, and it's an off-year election.

[VelvetHammer73]

Obama is the kiss of death for Alexi! If that is not enough he is all hooked up with the Seiu and that will sink him! Vote Krik!

[johndrew25]

It's amazing that polls show the GOP will pick up Obama's old Senate seat. National attention is revealing the corrupt environment that nurtured Obama and Rezko...

[hotspur666]

We need the ropes out for the demon-rat's hanging party!!! Starting with the Melon Head from Mombasa,

you know...the one with an Indonesian passport...

[beepeelow]

Voted against Alexi for the primary.  Will again during the election.

[xaviqaz]

If Kirk wins, will he switch parties before 2016?? The last "rinos" did: Chafee and Specter

[JohnRhysMusician]

No. His voting record is to the right of their's. He also has represented (my district) for 10 years and we are actually +6 Democratic, which means he would have switched a long time ago if he was concerned about keeping his seat.

Mark Kirk also has a Republican Party that is more moderate and more supportive of him than either Specter or Chafee, although Chafee might have been to left for the Illinois GOP too.

Illinois has 30 years of GOP governors, and the senator before BO was a GOPer.

[john51880]

That is true. But he is the only option! Vote Kirk! (you might have to hold your nose!)

[smcgrg]

The only thing that would make this video better would be "Blagojevich, Rezko, Obama" Because, you know, they're all friends.

[jjsanderz]

They should of ran Denny Hastert. He ethically defended child molesters and sexual predators.

[JEDIALADDIN]

God Bless America!

[Sabu113]

Got to be honest.... Kinda wanted to order a Dominos pizza after the ad.

[WhereDidItAllGo7]

So what if Alexi plays B-ball with Obama, it doesn't make him a better candidate. And why is the out-of-touch Dem party trying to use this guy because of his nationality. Alexi should just pursue something else instead of getting used.

[jimadoo]

Good ad! keep stirring the pot and this string of dirtbags likely goes all the way to the whitehouse. We just need someone with the guts to squeeze a few of these bastards and get them talking. I vote for waterboarding.

[chardonnay1]

that's friggin awesome.

TWIST THE KNIFE

about time the GOP grew a pair.

keep it up.

[john51880]

Yes way to long! Bipartisanship means twice as bad!

[ToddonCapeCod]

Come opnm, people of Illinois: What is this saying about you, who continuously vote in scum like this?

Hopefully, you've learned your lesson with Obama!

[john51880]

Trust me Illinois voter saw and learned that the entrenched party can be toppled! This State is tired of one party rule!

[ToddonCapeCod]

Yeah. My sympathies to Cohen.

Boo frickin hoo!

[john51880]

Ya That guy was colorful even by Illinois standards! hahahaha

[PaulRevere77381]

Alexi is toast. He's a crook just like his mentor Obama. These guys should run for office in Mexico.

[MrTabby5000]

@PaulRevere77381

We aren't to far from being mexico.

[yabruf]

Oh I'm sure the dimwit Illinois voters that keep voting the corrupt politicians in office will love this guy. He looks like he will fit in nicely there.

[bigdogsdontbark]

Every Politician from Chicago are part of the Mafia. Just look at Obamas healthcare. Obama says "I'm gunna give the American people an offer they cant refuse." And everytime Americans say "NO' Obama says "Let me explain it to you one more time."

[JEDIALADDIN]

I am from DOWNSTATE Illinois...the FEDS need to throw a net over the whole Chicago population and shout, "WE GOT YOU!" ...that is how deep the corruption runs....

[jjsanderz]

Ya, they need the southern Illinois values like unemployment and meth.

[JEDIALADDIN]

At least in Southern Illinois you can keep a boat or something in your yard and not have it stolen...

[jjsanderz]

If only they could keep teeth in their head...

[JEDIALADDIN]

@jjsanderz Better than the Chicago values of ruining employment for the entire state and being the DEALERS of meth.

[midwayflyer]

whoa wait a second... not all people from chicago are complete morons...just the yuppie northside freaks and the thugs in the ghetto.. The southside(not the ghetto but the good part) is all blue collar irish catholic workers who are hardcore republicans.. dont associate us with the rest of the progressive, soft yuppies that live in this city..

[JEDIALADDIN]

Thanks for the heads up and sorry for the over-generality of the statement....I know many great folks in and around ALL of Chicago....my son hopes to end up living there after college. The FEDS are salivating over Pat Quinn...you KNOW they are going to nail him next :) Ryan, Blago and then QUINN...it will still take the feds busting about the next 2 or 3 more IL Governors before Springfield starts seeing the Light.

[streetballerv310]

@JEDIALADDIN The man speaks the truth....I have a 5 year old cousin who lives in Pilsen, that little fucker is corrupt to the bone.

[VelvetHammer73]

Alexi has alot of Obama baggage!

[aitch748]

Wow. Now THAT'S a cool political ad. Stylish and sticks to the facts. Well done, NRSC.

[WhereDidItAllGo7]

Holy Smokes!

[johndrew25]

Rezko was Obama's closest friend in Chicago politics. It's time to kick the bums out!

[JEDIALADDIN]

Alexi Giannoulias is GREEK, yet his girlfriend is Italian

[KRKahn87]

You're a fucking American. An American who happens to be of Italian descent. Give it a fucking rest already.

[MrApolloEd]

Wow, the RSCC are scumbags. As an italian American I'm offended and can't wait to see Kirk go down.

[TheTrueConservative]

I am Italian American but you're thinking about this all wrong buddy.

[CaliBeach0007]

It's the NRSC. I'm an Italian-American, and I'm not offended in the least. We've become a nation of wimps, so sensitive to every perceived slight. Both parties do it, and it's ridiculous.

This ad offers a compelling case for Giannoulias's real ties to corruption. We're talking about a guy with no professional experience--but substantial family ties--who suddenly becomes a bank executive in his twenties. Who else does that? Meanwhile, Kirk was serving his country in the Naval Reserves.

[NoCensorshipYT]

Awesome and TRUE.

As a Chicagoan, I can't wait until Kirk, kicks his shady ass!

[JEDIALADDIN]

I want to see Giannoulias" BIRTH CERTIFICATE RIGHT NOW!

[jinx13big]

What a great commercial. giannoulias is crooked as an acre of snakes. Just keep beating the democrooks like pinata's.

[Zile77]

G-man is up to his eyeballs in family bank debt. Watch as suddenly they'll be an "error" in calculations that get corrected to show a profit. His buddy ObaoMao will make sure his little bank mess doesn't become the big issue, with a bailout using taxpayer money. Dems are so disgusting you just wanna shoot 'em all on Valentines day.

[JohnRhysMusician]

Proud to be from Chicago!!!

Go MARK KIRK!

[quinnac]

This. Is. Awesome!

[adidasaj]

anyone that thinks this is bad is ignorant

far worse ties have been the norm in Chicago for a very long time

go read a book like "Boss"

[ThhhTribe]

The selection of Giannoulias as the Democratic candidate, just proves that corrupt Chicago-style politics still exists. Also, you can't really blame the NRSC for this one. After all, it was the other Democrats during the primary election that opened this can of worms to begin with.

[StalinsLoveChild]

"This ad is a smear job by the NRSC syndicate" says Alexi's campaign manager Jimmy "The Shiv" Staffaroni. "A shameless ad" says Alexi pollster Tommy "The Angel" Messorelli. "Friggen Stugots!" says campaign organizer Danny "Don't Blink" Davinni. "Kirk is a real wiseguy" says campaign goomah Alba "Heart Breaker" Graziano.

[Eterna1Soldier]

Ahhh, you gotta love Chicago politics.

[tedsgarage]

They're going to link Giannoulias to every negative stereotype of southern Europeans.

[scola91660]

[whereiswaldo2006]

Giannoulias is a pimp. He never could have out-fought Santino.

[911Bovice]

Why did anyone thumb this down, it's a quote from The Godfather

[drd32]

Really tone deaf to the accent they were hoping to make fun of. I've still yet to see how Alexi was directly involved in this. Has anyone accused Giannoulias of any wrong doing?

[fairdale84]

This is despicable. It is ads like these that will make sure Alexi Giannoulias wins in November. Stick to the issues like the economy, the deficit, and terrorism please!
