Yeah, a really "critical" election. This fly-by-night grifter didn't even have to show his mug to get reelected. He just had to be black and be named Jackson.

I'll bet half the voters assumed he's related to Michael Jackson.

I am sorry, but the people who voted for this guy are just plain stupid. They are mostly incapable of rational thought.

If this were an isolated case then I might think differently, but it is not.

We are being overrun by inferior intellects. If that sounds racist, maybe it is.

But... it is absolutely true. The shoe fits.

It's not so much the intellect, #2, as the lack of integrity, honesty, judgement, morality, etc. I've known a lot of nice but rather dim people.

If it's a felony plea he's out.

Very interesting that the Chi Sun Times held this until the votes were counted...

And the kicker to this story........his wife, who is an alderwomen in the Chicago city council, stands right by his side while he bought a 40k Rolex for a "female friend"

Everyone here has the values of a snake----his wife will tolerate anything just to be attached to a "Jackson", and all of the people who voted for him!

Well, looked who they voted for president.

You are correct #2. It's genetic. Dr. Shockley knew it, Margaret Sanger knew it and the authors of The Bell Curve proved it.

Not all, of course, there are geniuses in the group but the average puts them in last place in the IQ department.

Racist? I guess so. Is it true? Unfortunately, the answer is yes.

Huge guffaw. Crooks talking amongst themselves.

AND the kicker, of course, even our FOX NEWS protecting the Jackson family by showing no interest in the story!!

Zimbabwe...we've arrived

What is this? Vote for the biggest crook?

Gongressman is not a bad gig for someone who never goes to work.

These people could be brain-dead, drooling, living in a state mental hospital and incapable of even wiping their butt, and they still get re-elected over and over again. People are stupid.

2, we know who JJJr's constituency is. Figures.

I thought he was at Mayo under treatment. Faker.

I'm sorry #2 & those who agreed with you. You are assuming that real people actually voted for Jackson. I'm much more inclined to believe that a handful of cronies entered ballots for the dead and too-stupid-to-vote or doctored ballots in sufficient numbers to get the win. That's how Alan West lost in Florida (people sitting in corner creating or fudging ballots). The "Chicago Way" made this election turn out the way the dems wanted - in the key state large precincts, where they control the voting (including my state of Pa). Outside Pgh & Philly, Romney won, as did most republican candidates for other offices. No one will investigate the Chicago Way crimes. PS - the folks at my voting place while I was there, including my wife and I, all volunteered to show picture ids - despite the corrupt/stupid judge ruling to delay it; & the staff there used them to look up the names.

@16 I was listening to Glenn Beck this morning and he had a caller who said he was in West's voting place and saw the people you were referring to. First they were said to be watchers, then someone said they were 'transcribing military ballots.'

Trash voting in more trash! Guess, some are born without a brain!
