- Jan Schakowsky is not perfect. No politician is. However, she is one of the strongest true progressives in the House of Representatives. I'm a big fan of her work.

- Jan is the perfect example of what is wrong with politics and politicians. She enthusiastically voted in favor of a health care bill and stimulus packages that were so bad for us and our country, they had to be passed, on weekends, when they thought we weren't paying attention. Well, we are paying attention...and Jan has to go! Vote for Pollack in November!

- As for me, she is very much a left wing politician and believes everyone does not have to work for a living. She is a true Democratic, takes advanage of the blacks and illegals by giving them anything...Who supports her...SEIU the biggest corrupt union in the world and Acorn..What does that tell you...By the way...why does she not use her married name??? because her husband, I believed was convicted of a crime....why doe not the news talk about that...This year she is running against a college grad. from Harvard, who Barnie Frank tried to make look bad when he asked him a question...about Freddie Mack and Fanny Mae....The progressives will destroy this country if Americans do not wake up

- The Dems aren't by themselves when it comes to making & leaving a mess. The Republicans are just as good, if not better at leaving a mess for their children to clean up.
Left-wingers are not guilty & Right-wingers are not innocent! I blame both groups for the mess we're in & I blame the men the most because they think with their Nether Regions . . . those a$$holes!
