C'mon in Mexicans c'mon on in. You'll get frewww health care food stamps American jobs and represented by the Unions. And please hurry before the Americans find out what I'm doing.
My god there is no defending this man. My question is:
WHY DOES THIS PRESIDENT HATE AMERICA SO MUCH. why !!! ??
Here's the take
Obama is going to get bolder and bolder. Knowing full well that the press is going to cover for him. This is a given. They will 'protect' him - hide his scandals and give him a pass. I think here in the next year certainly after the 2014 election the media will not be able to continue. Osama's is still being restrained by the 2014 election. After that he will transform this nation through Executive Orders and then all h*ll is going to break lose and he is going to do one to many.
There is going to be something Osama does that is going to be a big mistake and the press, unlike in the last 4 years, will not be able to save him.
I think we have a very very good shot at the White House in 2016.
Rubio, Cuze Paul and Ryan need to drive our agenda. Booner can drop dead
I don't know Abbott personally but I have talked to him. He has lived in Lansing his entire life and he seems like a decent, intelligent and successful businessman that deeply cares about this city. So why is it that the underline political method of operation is that first you have to destroy someone's integrity then go after him personally and then if you have to destroy his family? It's not just that you have to criticize his policies but you have to dig deep and level such destructive campaigning. This is the new Modus operandi of Democrats campaigning.
This is a major reason Obama got back into the White House. Demonize the opponent - make them evil and make the populaces scared of them.
This has damaged this nation severely.
Walmart no no a SUPER WALMART is going to bring that whole area back to life. From what I found out is that SAMS just continued paying there lease on that building and the owners just said gee why not less headaches. The building that use to be Babies are US went out of business 10 years ago and so that did that play area next door.
So again ABBOT BROUGHT IN A SUPER WALMART. And when all those stores get filled up Sciackitano will try to take credit for it. this made is so unqualified for the job. Just like Obama was and is. Osama had zero experience as a CEO and didn't even finish his US Senate gig.
And as for the business that closed or left town it would have happened under Don and you know it. The property taxes are enormous. A jewelery store downtown Lansing - 800 sq feet pays $11,000 a year in property taxes. $11,000 - Rays repair shop @ Burnham and Ridge pays $24,000 per year.
Pick out any of those business that left or closed down - how many times did you patronized those stores. How many? No many did you? So if we don't buy there goods or services how are they going to stay in business??
They didn't leave BECAUSE OF ABBOTT - they closed down because a 100 different reasons. Open a bad business? underfunded? location location location? How about they couldn't buy there products cheap enough to be competitive with Walmart? How about the enormous city county state and federal taxes they had to pay?
A lot of the business are out dated and couldn't stay in business. How about the polices of your anointed one Barrack Obama polices that has saturated this nation. Gas going up to $4.00 a gallon and disposable income is less today then 5 years ago.
You sir are part of the problem. Your written words are exactly out of the Liberals leftist and unionist playbook. Don doesn't have a plan to bring business back to Lansing other then give them huge tax breaks and then give free goods and services to the minorities and liberal Democrats that will increase spending and the taxpayers have to foot the bill. I'm not a 1 % er - I am the 99% er.
Leave us alone. Please go sit in the corner and mind your own business and leave us alone.
I swear if these peepoo get into office I will be there worse political nightmare
In talking to Scickitano office we were talking about the debate at the library and a audience member asked Abbott what is he going to do about a youth center. The campaign worker said Abbott looked like a deer in the headlights.
What's wrong with the Patty Leach center? They want another one? How about one in each corner of the city? This is how Democrats think. They believe that government is to provide them with goods and services for free. This is what we have in Washington!!
Now lets look at this. The 'Democrat' audience member is seeing who can bring more goods and services to the community and Abbott is fighting to get them budget down so he doesn't have to raise taxes. Abbott brought the budget spending down for $39 million to $30 million and Don will take that budget right back up to $39 million again raise our property taxes when we are struggling now to pay for them. Why is this so hard for Democrats to understand?
The police got stripped of the illegal increase of 25% pay raise the month before they retire and it pisst them off. So they cam back and wanted a 5% compound increase which would amounted to about a 35% increase in pay. Abbott would not do it and they will push for Don for the increase.
The Public Works wanted him to lift the residency on the public workers and Abbott said no (which I disagree with) but it's his call. The public workers were going to support him and when he told them no they ran and whined to the unions and the union gave Don $2500 campaign donation on behave of the Lansing Public Works
Don will bring nothing more then massive increase in spending like Obama has plunge the city into debt and raise our property taxes. Folks we have enough to battle with the Democratic in Cook County and the State wanting more money from us.
Don has no plan other then shooting his big mouth off and complain about what Abbott is doing. I swear if Don gets into office I will be his biggest political nightmare. I will expose his progressive (what a dirty word) liberal leftist transformation of America. I am convinced with his lack of qualifications Don will ruin this city.
He has no experience in running a business. None. He wants to get rid of the city administrator so he can raise the city Mayors pay that will be $15,000 up to $100,000.
Don said to me he was proud to have voted for Obama. How do you really think it is working out for America? Are we better off today? Don will pursue the same agenda. Court the minorities and help them with money and programs. Jesus Lord we don't need this when the city is just getting turned around.
