Video: Republican running for Jesse Jackson, Jr.'s seat

Despite revelations shortly before the 2012 election, that Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL) had become so mentally unstable that he believed he was a reincarnated chariot driver, he was still overwhelmingly elected with more than 60% of the vote. Now, just a few months later, he's going to serve significant jail time for using campaign contributions to enrich himself.

Enter Paul McKinley, a Republican who is running for Jackson's old seat. Watch McKinley explain how the Chicago Machine works in less than three minutes.

This guy understands what's going on better than more than a super majority of Congress (both houses):

Video: Registered Socialist Jesse Jackson Jr. is Certifiably Insane

The left's tired attempts to compare Barack Obama to Abraham Lincoln just got a whole lot more pathetic. It's amazing how the hatred for the principles of the Republican Party simply will not stop Democrats from invoking Republican presidents like Lincoln and Reagan whenever it suits their twisted agenda. In this case, Jesse Jackson, Jr. attempts to make the argument that Obama needs to go around Congress to get Stimulus II passed because Congress is rebelling just like the confederate states did in the Civil War. Perhaps the most insane part of this is Jackson's assertion that the 'Congress is in rebellion.' The opposite is indeed true; the Congress has been neutered.

Before watching this video, take note that Jesse Jackson, Jr. has been a registered member of the Democratic Socialists of America caucus (DSA). Translation: he's a communist. This video should further demonstrate that. It's also an interesting add-on to North Carolina's governor - Bev Perdue - suggesting that elections should be suspended so Congress can focus on jobs and Peter Orzag's argument that the US needs a little less Democracy.

Video: Jesse Jackson Jr. wants to Change U.S. Constitution

Jesse Jackson Jr. wants it to be the law of the land that every kid can have an 'iPod' and a 'laptop.' He also wants to fix unemployment by changing the Constitution. The words that came out of Jesse's head hole known as mouth only come from one of two kinds of minds. Either: an uneducated child or a wicked man who wants to see the consequences of such destructive ideas being implemented. Jackson's logic is that if everyone has access to health care, it will drive demand for doctors up. If everyone has the right to a home, it will drive up demand for contractors.

Small problem, Jesse. Where does the money come from? Also completely lost on this corruptocrat is that the Community Reinvestment Act allowed minorities who couldn't afford homes to get them. The CRA(P), more than anything else, helped to put the U.S. economy in the dire straits its in.

This guy better have to testify in the next Rod Blagojevich trial. The first go round implicated JJJ as potentially being the most corrupt of all those involved in Blago's pay to play scandal.

JESSE JACKSON USING LEBRON JAMES TO DISTRACT FROM JESSE JR.?

Until Jesse Jackson inserted himself into the LeBron James story I intentionally stayed away from it because in light of all that's going on in the world - and in this country - lately, it's about as consequential as a fly problem in someone else's yard. It's sophomoric, ponderous, and insipid compared to something like, I don't know, the corruption trial of Rod Blagojevich? Perhaps not so coincidentally, Jesse's son, Jesse Jackson Jr. has probably been implicated more than anyone else at that very trial in recent days - it has become painfully obvious that Jr.'s attempt to denounce "pay to play politics" was a big fat lie based on the recorded phone conversations played thus far.

It's almost as if a distraction was needed. Is the elder Jesse running interference for his son by publicly saying that Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert has a "slave master mentality" with respect to James, who Jackson says Gilbert views as a "runaway slave". Eugene Kane at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel sees Jackson's assertion as ill-advised:

Raising his voice in support of James by evoking slavery seems like a foolish move.

James has been paid millions in salary and endorsements since joining the NBA seven years ago. During his free agent excursion, he had the owners of several professional teams courting him for his services.

Sorry, Jesse; this guy is no slave.

If Jackson was truly concerned about racism, why isn't he speaking out against Rod Blagojevich, who is heard countless times on recorded phone conversations, played at his corruption trial, referring to Jesse Jackson Jr. as an "uber African-American"? The answer to that one is rather obvious if you've been following the trial. Jesse Jackson Jr., despite his indignant and adamant declarations to the contrary shortly after Blagojevich's arrest on December 9th, 2008 is revealed in recorded phone conversations to have offered money to Blagojevich in return for being appointed to Barack Obama's then soon-to-be vacant Senate seat.

The timing of Jackson Sr.'s ludicrous claims is indeed curious. Even more ludicrous are his comments during an appearance on the Ed Schultz program. Listen as Jesse tells Ed that if Gilbert's claim that James often "quit" during games is a serious charge and would amount to a "scandal". The real scandal is going on in a Chicago courtroom and Jesse Jackson Jr. is in the middle of it. Then Jesse Sr. lectures Ed's audience about integrity and cheating before wrapping up with a reference to child rearing.

Jesse Sr. is 3 for 3 on that one - scandal, integrity, and offspring. He just has the wrong controversy and it's by design.

VIDEO: JESSE JACKSON JR. RUNS WITH OBAMA'S FAILED POST OFFICE METAPHOR

Barack Obama's gaffe about the Post Office having problems while UPS and FedEx are doing "just fine" was not only repeated by him again only days later but is now being chiseled and refined by none other than Jesse Jackson Jr.

Unbelievable! JJJ actually compares the public health care option to a stamp and then provides viewers with an economics lesson that will not be lost on people who do not understand economics.

As for those who actually do understand where money comes from and didn't short change acquiring that knowledge by learning how to put a condom on in a public school classroom, it should be clear that JJJ is literally an economics changeling.

DISCLAIMER: JJJ is NOT an economics changeling because he's black. My motivation for identifying him as an economics changeling is NOT based on race. It is based on this absurd and disgraceful attempt at an argument using Obama's failed metaphor that he (Obama) actually used twice. The question remains though, is JJJ really this challenged when it comes to understanding economics or is this the only argument he feels he's got left? Either way, he looks foolish.

Enjoy.
