Red Blue Road Trip - Chesterton,IN - Oct 21 - Part 4

Chesterton is factory town turned affluent suburb of Chicago. In recent years farm fields have turned to housing developments and big box stores have replaced Main Street as the commercial center of the town. The area is reliably Republican in the reliably Republican state of Indiana. But Obama has made inroads, opening a campaign office in Chesterton in the hopes of swinging the state that went to Bush by more than 20 points in 2004 into his column.

People in this country have no understanding of what socialism really is.

And the U.S. does not operate in a truly free-market system. It has not since the early part of last century. We once had a true free-market and the result was disastrous.

Typical liberal reply. Why the name calling? Are you afraid that those that still don't drink the leftist koolaid or goose step to the socialist tune are a threat?

Obviously you must be on some government program to stand up for having your freedoms stole from you and you look the other way.

Remember the constitution doesn't guarantee entitlements.

[031467794]

Nice non answer.

Obama and the idiots in congress are looting our national treasure, restricting our freedoms and you give it a pass. Who do you think will have to pay? I'm sure you worried more about the MJ funeral and entertainment tonight that watching the constitution used as toilet paper for these liberal asshats.

I'm sure you have your govt entitlements and need to protect your income. Do you have a job?

You and your ilk are just Obamabot lemmings paying homage to your dear leader.

The president doesn't really impact unemployment figures. This is a worldwide economic crisis not an American crisis. The credit systems, stock markets, and bank systems are messed up. You didn't hear say that Bush was the reason for the recession. I suggest that our troops need more funding and Bush and the Congress taxes which causes us to borrow more money leaving us in more debt to a point where we can't fund our troops. Get your facts straight and stop living on hating Obama it don't work

[031467794]

luvs2teach00, it is obvious that you have swallowed the kool aid and much more. And since you proclaim bush spread the wealth to the rich answer this.....

When has a "poor" person hired people for a job?

I hope you obamabots like the change you voted for. 9.5% unemployment and rising.

[luvs2teach00]

What moron lowers taxes during a war? That is what Bush and the Republicans did. Businesses and jobs have been going away since the late 1990's when Republicans had control of Congress. So if you are going to blame democrats you have to also blame republicans. Bush neocon followers regreted their decision of electing Bush who spread the wealth to help rich people buy more yachts, houses, and golden toothbrushes. So shut the heck up brotha!!!!!!!!With your racist slant.

Repeat the republican catch phrases.

Love it. people who watch fox news and have no original thoughts. (I bet Eric has no idea the actual definition of socialism). I wonder why people in these places are not asking why all jobs are going overseas. WHY ARE JOBS GOING AWAY!!!?????
