Kiss of Death?

  • Mayor Richard Daley said today he won't be endorsing anyone running in the Democratic Feb. 2 primary contests because he's too busy to worry about elections --- and besides, political endorsements don't matter much any more.

    "If I do endorse, you'll say 'Boss Daley does this,' you guys will spin that," Daley told reporters after a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the renovated CTA Brown Line station on Fullerton Avenue in Lincoln Park. "In this day and age it's completely different, it's a completely different environment in politics, I'll be very frank. Endorsements don't mean as much as they used to mean in the past."

Especially when your approval rating is hovering around 30%, right Richie?

In a way he is right about endorsements. The endorsement that really counts is still done in the smoke filled rooms by the slating committees. In many races the important thing is just to be on the Democratic ballot and if the wrong Democrat gets into the race they start putting in their shills to siphon off votes.

I like the way daley always says "frankly" as if to mean "this time I am not lying through my teeth, believe it."

Make no mistake, for those that matter, the nod of emperor 42 short still means a great deal. To sit near the little big man or to be seen shaking hands with him is all that matters.

Unfortunatly, we only have the illusion of choice.
Right now the powers that be are setting up the anti-incumbant slate to "carry on" in the face of taxpayer revolt.
Ask any real democrat how they "feel" about obama's change.
No mater who we vote for the same agenda is pushed forth with right or left window dressing.

OT, but at that new El station at Fullerton, they decided to pave the ground level with some nice smooth granite stones. Like an ice rink in the snow the other day. Smart move!!

Obama caught lightning in a bottle.

He is witty and likable and has an infectious smile and engaging personality. He is, however, far too inexperienced to be the leader of the free world.

He came along at a time when white America was hearing rumblings about liberal America succumbing to "reparations" to black America and decided that voting for a black President would "settle the score".

When all is said and done, and assuming someone will emerge as a shining light in the dim political landscape of U. S. politics, Obama will be dispatched into retirement after one term. There he will remain as a symbol (the black Messiah) to the World that America is NOT racist, and a symbol to minorities that ANYTHING is possible (though I don't think the Skulls or the Bilderbergers will want another black U.S. President for some time!).

Bilderbergers? Google it. Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy Theory did an entire show on them.

It's real basic math in a majority minority city. NO enemies of color and NO enemies to the left. Which leaves the rapidly fleeing white,hetero,religious nuclear family as the only group to fuck with. Only way he can survive.

As somebody said here a few days ago: Roseland...coming to a Mt. Greenwood near you soon.

2010 and 2012! We're going to start taking our country back. The Constitution will be brought back. Places like Chicago, Detroit and othe Democrat controlled cities will take a little bit longer since Socialism is so well entrenched. Have faith and stay the course guys, we can get our country back!

I hope that Chicago finally take this past year as a GREAT WAKE UP CALL, and hopefully the winds of Change in this City will blow in. I think "Little DIck" Daley has burned or should I say Stepped on enough of us in Chicago. How long do we have to as a the People of Chicago have to get pissed on by this "Little Evil Freakin leprachaun" have his way.
He talks alot of shit saying how we have to hold people accountable for what they do but yet when he does something or as he says " I not responsible for what my staff does, they made the choices not me." So yet when his staff which he gave the authority to do things make a big error its not his fault. Let's go back a few years he or his staff had that little kid on the city's board of building engineers, when the back porch callasped and several people died. Yet he "DICK Daley" I not responsible for the staff of engineer's, which he approves. Or yet when he allowed the city's streets and sanitation division rip up megs field, he says I wanted torn up yes but I not responsible that they did it before they got approval by the Feds to do so. When ever this is a issue that comes up he takes the step back and DUMPS THE SHIT on someone else. When will finaly step and kick this little "Dick" out of office. We as a city department allow it ourselves, by letting our union state that the "F.O.P." supports his Honor The Mayor for re-election. how often do you hear some guy/gal say how much they hate Daley for all the crap he dishes out to us. We never speak up and tell the FOP that its membership really dislikes that little ass-hole. We need to speak up as a Union and vote this little Bastard out of OFFICE. He holds us responsible for the most littlest things we do, to logging on or out for the day, he speaks out adimitlly about oh the Police have made a mistake and thier superiors will have to hold those or that office responsible for her/his actions. LETS SPEAK OUR VOICES AND DO ALL WE CAN TO GET RID OF RICHARD M. DALEY. LET'S GET SOMEONE WHO WILL BE OUR ALLIE IN THIS CAREER OF OURS. How is it that as a Mayor you can allow the streets and sanitation guy/girl all the O.T. they want but yet you or I risk our life daily for this city and the people of the city have to give a leg or arm to get O.T.. Get Rid of Daley finally. Thanks for the ears I may have bent. So Speak Out Against Him let the FOP know we dont want him anymore.

Do you really trust O'Brien, the White candidate? He's currently head of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation (Sanitary) District. We all know there are no Daley-style politics over there!

The Hat was a Gift from Huberman, The Coat from Tom Tunney. They like their little guy to be fashionable out in Public.

If David Hoffman loses in the primary or general election for senator, it would be great if he would run against Daley for mayor. Daley has refused to debate any oponents in past elections and the press gave him a pass. The media should get on him and stay on Daley until he agrees to a debate.
