    Corrupt, bribing public officials

    When I think of "Chicago Style Politics" I immediately think of a level of unethical and criminal activity designed to get elected or getting your guy elected at all cost while destroying your opponent and other along the way. That would include voter fraud, bribery, lying, stealing, rigging elections, dirty electioneering tricks, spying, bugging, cronyism with the unions and possible mafia involvement, political favors, and the thirst for sheer power.

    obama , protect your own, throw anyone under the bus , attack an destroy to a disgusting point anyone who disagrees with you then lie about it. Granted theese terms can be applied to alot of political people but Chicago has a very special way of it , they are more vicious and dirty than most as hard as that is to imagine. And for the race baiters it has nothing to do with being white or black its just the way that place operates because of the sheer liberalness an dirty tactics.

    Better than using dirty Koch Brothers money to fund Tea party cronyism not funding and exploiting Benghazi embassy improvements with Republican-funfed terrorist attacks and hypocritically blaming Democrats

    You do what you got to do to win. And you keep your pie hole shut. Anything else and you end up wearing cement shoes down at the North Branch. You hearing me? Now go pass that palm grease around at the 7th Ward. We've an election to toss our way.

    Al Capone days never left. The ghost of Richard Daley is still alive.

    I love these loaded questions. It's like asking how many ad hominems can you fit in a five gallon bucket.
