We'll Take Two of These

Kass talking about an aldercreature putting the screws to Shortshanks:
  • Ald. Scott Waguespack, 32nd, has two terrifying words for Mayor Richard Daley:

    Forensic Audit.

    It may not sound sexy. But having former IRS agents go through two decades worth of insider political deals and revealing it all to a tax base of voters that has been bled dry is something Daley and his boys would hate.

It doesn't have to sound sexy - but numbers don't lie. Numbers put Capone behind bars. Numbers could bring down Daley and Madigan and Burke and a dozen other assholes for a long long time.

This guy is very close to getting our votes.

That being said if he is the only serious candidate against Daley he will get both of my votes.

PLEASE DEAR GOD let this happen...

You can lie till your teeth fall out. You can lay as much ground cover as you please, set up an elaborate network of pigeons, stooges and fall-guys. You can cheat, deceive, steal and make as many back-door dealings as you wish.

Eventually, the forensic accountants will come knocking and when they do, it's game fucking over. There is no 'plausible deniability' within the confines of numbers; mathematics is as cruelly objective a bitch as there ever has been.

This city is a fiscal disaster and there is *absoulutey, positively no question* that this state of affairs can be laid directly on the doorstep of our legendary crooked dealings.

What we see today is a result of a compounding series of decisions made for the best interests of those politicians on the receiving end of graft, rather than decisions made to benefit the city and her people.

Please, PLEASE let this happen. A forensic audit (and its certainty of an outcome) is substantially better than the Feds trying to gamble with a jury on some half-assed conspiracy charge involving breach of public trust, or whatever. This will bury the little fucking toad once and for all.

Anonymous VOTE THEM ALL OUT . . . said...

There is not one them who deserves our vote.

The only thing this guy has done as an alderman is what... NOT vote for the sale of the parking meters?

How else has he shown he isn't just another one of the rubber stamp, give the mayor what he wants, Daley puppets?

I'm sure if you look, you'll find that they ALL voted FOR 90% to 95% of EVERY SINGLE Daley proposal that came before them in the city council.

If all those Daley proposals that the alderman voted FOR were so good for us, then maybe shanks really IS good for Chicago.

I CALL BULLSHIT!

WHO has hollered out and told Chicago's citizens that the mayor is screwing us all for the benefit of the Daley/Burke/Madigan Crime Family?

WHO has warned us that the mayor is out of control and needs to be voted out?

WHAT has ANY alderman done since getting into the city council, that can be regarded as ANY KIND of opposition to the mayor and his plundering of the city tax coffers?

WHERE have the dissenting voices been all along?

Sorry SCC... there isn't a mutt on that council who I see that is DESERVING of my mayoral vote. And a few campaign speeches at election time does not make it so.

We need a REAL opposition candidate to run. The assclowns already there who have done NOTHING up until now, are not WORTHY!

Understand something.

Scott Waguespack is a PROGRESSIVE.
PROGRESSIVE IS ANOTHER NAME FOR SOCIALIST. AND BEFORE THEY STARTED USING THE NAMES PROGRESSIVE AND SOCIALIST, THEY WERE KNOWN AS DEMOCRATS. Socialists continue to change the name they use to describe themselves, but the bottom line is ScottWaguespack is a PROGRESSIVE/SOCIALIST. Look it up yourself in Google.

Socialists march in lock step and follow the orders of socialist obama. And the socialist motto is "whatever it takes to achieve our goals..the end justifies the means." The corruption, destruction of our Constitution, the destruction of our freedoms outlined in the Constitution will continue under anyone who is a socialist/progressive/democrat!

We need to support a conservative/Republican who will defend and uphold the Constitution, our liberty and our freedoms. Right now, it is "anything goes" in government. The socialists step on the Constitution and make up the rules as they go along. Corruption and greed is deep and rampant. Our country has hit moral-rock bottom. We don't recognize our country any longer because of the soft tyranny coming from the rogue socialist in the White House, who is attempting to take total control over this country and turn it into another Venezuela, Cuba, England...

Chicago does not need ANOTHER Daley, another socialist/progressive/democrat!

We need to contact the conservatives/Republican party and investigate the candidates. Look up the local Republican organizations and attend a meeting and meet the candidates. It begins with ONE STEP. And we must take that ONE STEP and give this city a chance!

Step up, speak up and start the hard uphill fight to clean up the filth of this city, so that the Police can do their job...so that the citizens of this city can live in a civilized environment, governed by those who believe in the Constitution, freedom and justice.

Please people do not think like the above post does. It does not matter who runs against Daley. We must get him out of office. The little runt is so deep into the graft that if we do not get him out we will never get him out. No matter who runs against Daley be sure to vote for them. It will be alot easier to get them out in 4 years then it has been to get Daley out. Do not vote for Daley no matter what.

Daley has a stranglehold on the city. No matter who we vote for other then Daley, they will not have the corruption so entrenched, if we want to get them out we will be able to.

DO NOT VOTE FOR DALEY EVEN IF HE IS RUNNING AGAINST THE GREAT REVEREND ROBIN HOOD.

DALEY IS THE DEVIL IN DISGUISE, HE MUST GO.

Any why is he the only one who is requesting this , thinking this or suggesting this? Why wasn't this done YEARS ago? First of all is that the rest of the idiot council members are too scared to even to suggest that king corrupt would do anything evil and the second reason is that they were on the kahootz to stay w/in Daley's reach and go along with his $hit because they TOO will $benefit$ one way or another.....

I'm liking what this guy says, but his bite better be even bigger than his bark. Now for the logistics, who exactly will do a forensic audit? What auditing firm isn't Daley connected? How many books are actually at City Hall, legit and not legit and how are they going to detect that? You are going to need a slew of top-notch fraud examiners to get into every book at city hall for the past seven years or so, from the park district to board of education. You need to investigate everything from day one with the selling of the meters, the skyway and the destruction of Meigs. You need to look at all the contracts and interview everyone involved with the contracts because that has to be one of the biggest frauds around. You're gonna need tons of subpoenas and analysts to put it all together and then examine for criminal activity. Ethic violations? Well we all know that ethics have been completely wiped out by this administration. You also have to look through all the smoke and mirrors via Shakman and the hiring monitor. We all know the merit promotional system is a sham w/in the police dept. All easier said than done.

The only way to bring Daley down is to have someone wired up, have the phones tapped and see the investigation through no matter WHO is involved, including the White House and the FEDS are too scared to do that, hence Blago, Rezco and co.

And if the FEDS actually got involved, how many YEARS would it take for them to investigate? The FEDS are known for being very slow and drawn out because they won't touch anything investigative wise if they don't know before hand and are 100% sure that they will win (unless it has something to do with the White House). Daley could be dead before the FEDS indict him.

Daley didn't just turn into a crook over night...he's been like this his whole life, and why the hell has it taken 19 years for you all to "Finally be Fed up with him and his cronies?"

I've been voting against him since 2002, and don't care if a Democrat or Republican or Independent or some mook from the Green Party wins.

And for the moron with the
Democrat = Socialist comment.

I suggest you actually read some books on Political Science...and realize that if Democrats actually were Socialists; the whiners would have been Shot back in the 80's when Jimmy Carter took over.

There is a fine line between Socialism and Fascism. As well as a Fine Line between republican and democrat.

But there is a chasm between democrat/republican and Socialist.

Had to to deal with the Alderman several times and was always down to earth.

A forensic audit can't hurt, but be very, very wary of Ald. Waguespack. As pointed out, he is a political progressive and very dangerous. He will mortgage everything to ensure that entitlement programs and wasteful social welfare programs are funded. He will lie in bed with every social liberal around. He will cozy up to the reverends same as Daley.


He is not a viable alternative.
