"These stories can go on being told forever not just about Alorton, but about hundreds of Democratic Party controlled towns, villages and cities. What these places have in common is that their corruption emerges from the absolute rule of one party.

By giving away their votes wholesale to the Democratic Party, African-Americans have handed over power to a corrupt political machine that offers them no alternatives; only poverty, theft and misery."

So true.   One has to wonder about other such places.

I had a sneaking suspicion that this town was somewhere in Illinois even before reading the story.

Obama must be darn proud of them. Him and his cronies do absolutely nothing to help African-Americans get out of this chronic dependency. They put on a great show on how much they care but behind closed doors it's nothing but laughter at the stupidity of their followers.

WOWW
Third world banana republic politics.

Pitiful. I'm in Illinois but very far south of Chicago, closer to St Louis.
Our town has a university, so it's very left leaning. If Republicans even try to get on the ballot they atre given a rash of baloney - the last primafry it was "You stapled your application to run papers and they should have been paper-clipped". I'm not kidding.

That doesn't surprise me at all about this story. They use their race card to profit just as any democrat does. They run that village, the same as this one runs the country. He and his cronies are the most disrespected politicians in the world...!

WOW!!!! Agree Maddog......really shaking my head at this in disgust, selling there foodstamps for drugs when there are hungry babies/children out there. WTH come on Illinois.

wow
