Election Ploy Fails...for Now
- In the wake of Cook County Board Chairman Toni Preckwinkle’s hasty exit as a possible mayoral contender, Sneed is told there is a move to fill the void with two male contenders in the black community: State Sen. Kwame Raoul and former Illinois Senate President Emil Jones Jr.
Sneed is told that top African-American business and civic leaders are scheduling a meeting in August with Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis, who has formed an exploratory committee, but a top source tells Sneed that Raoul should be regarded as a “bona fide contender.”
“There are a lot of bad feelings in the black community that Gov. Pat Quinn passed up Kwame as lieutenant governor, and that could hurt Quinn in the election,” said a top Sneed source familiar with the process of selecting a black consensus mayoral candidate.
Notice that Sneed doesn't say a "qualified" candidate, just a black one. But one of them has other ideas though:
- State Sen. Kwame Raoul, D-Chicago, said Friday there is no movement in the black community to draft him to challenge Mayor Rahm Emanuel and he wouldn’t respond to a draft, even if there was one.
“When I’m ready to do something else — and I’m sure that day will come — I will say it before anybody else says it. This is not the time,” Raoul said.
He's a tool, and has been for years, but he's trying to be a tool on his own terms, not The Machine's.

Is Kwame Raoul his real name or is it one of those made up black names, real name Roosevelt Williams or some such thing?
Kwame is a hideous gun grabber, for that reason alone I would not want him anywhere near the Governors mansion. No respect for 2A rights = no respect for the people of this "illinoyed" state ! Remenber that, Kwame when you move to restrict what we can defend ourselves with. The same for you, Dan Kotowski.
Plenty of good black republicans can step forward.
He has an office in Hyde Park, haven't we had enough of these damn fools telling us how we should live our lives?
Crystal Ball Said...
Preckwinkle was ordered not to run for Mayor by the White House. And watch, when Karen Lewis comes back from Vacation, she will eventually announce she is not running for Mayor... Blaming it on her exploratory committee.
Karen recieved a phone call while she is vacationing in Hawii, she was summons to the presidents vacation home. A deal will be struck and she will be taken care of in the end. The bottom line, Washington got to her.
Let's face it, we are stuck with this Mayor! Just my take of it... Watch Fox 32 News on Sunday Morning on how Preckwinkle responds about her feelings towards Rahm.
The machine is the strong horse in this race, and the machine has the might of rightness behind it. In the end expect the machine canidate to win.
We were wondering "WTF?" at that shit in Sneed's column.
It's read like Rahm al-Ghoul just farted out the first names of the first black guys he thought of that should have been more than happy to shill for him and dilute the pissed-off ghetto vote.
The smart ones are like "SHEEE-YAAAHHT! FUCK DAT"
Which is essentially what Raoul said... Read 'tween them lines Rahm!
Now whether he'll get an old fool like Danny Davis or the surviving Shaw brother remains to be seen.
Look for somebody currently on the City Council to proudly spread dat ass for Rahm.
Mmm-Hmmm...
From sea to shining muthafuckin' sea then peek upside-down from between their legs and grin...
Rahm has the worst case of "Itchy-Mind" of any modern era politician.
11 dis had another 11 year old female gonna be a 0110. How many more innocent children have to die before these incompatent bosses are replaced? Start w/ the Commander, & XO! Fillmore is on a record pace for homicides!These bosses gots to go!
011 XO Lemmer wants more boxes, more contact cards, more missions, more, more, more!!!!!! 10 year old shot in the coconut is somehow the poleeses fault according to Lemmer. So are all the other assholes getting plugged. Guess what?? Secret here for ya Cappy......NO ONE working in 011 gives a flying fuck about ANYONE getting shot in 011. It AINT OUR PROBLEM.
Hey Tommy, youwant more missions???? The only thing youre getting more of is PEOPLE SHOT IN 011, sucker!!!
Admit it Cmdr Evans. The westside just aint tameable like you buffaloed them souff side fools. We gots a whole different animal out this way. And that cancerous sidekick of yours does nothing but make things worse.
That's why affirmative action needs to be banned. It puts someone in a place/position who is not qualified but only got the job because of the color of their skin.
So yes, discrimination based on skin color is alive and well today thanks to liberals.
Affirmative action causes continued resentment, not peace and racial tranquility.
10 year old shot in the coconut is somehow the poleeses fault according to Lemmer.

Parents were from Haiti.
Both were doctors if memory serves right.
Blacks who are educated to the ways of Chicago, democratic machine politics, saw this tactic coming from a mile away. I was literally just telling a friend Rahm would try to split the black vote, last week.
Sorry Rahm, this aint the 80's & prior. More & more blacks understand that just because a candidate looks like you, it doesn't mean he/she has your best interest at heart. Ergo an ever increasing number of Independent & yes, Republican black voters There are more NON-Democrat black voters than most know. It's this way because blacks understand that to come out & openly admit to not being a bling democrat, like far too many blacks, will bring lotsa grief. Most politicians, Black, White, Hispanic, or whatever, are in it for the money, plain & simple. The days of racially based politics are slowly but surely going the way of the Ford Pinto. This aint good news for the Jesse Jaxsons of the world.
Emil Jones? Really??
Be very, veeeeery, worried if Karen Lewis runs for mayor and has a chance of beating Tiny Dancer. She's so far left she makes Karl Marx look like a low-tax free market Capitalist.
From her own mouth it's clear that she hates-detests-loathes-anyone with a little bit of money, except of course for teachers and 'professional educators' like Bill Ayers.
On her first day in the mayor's office she'd unveil a City Income Tax, and you can take that to the bank. An Income Tax that'd be so draconian it'd be confiscatory (characterized by, effecting, or resulting in confiscation). Folks could actually move to New York City to save money.
Oh, and Karen Lewis isn't all that fond of White People either. Though it's sort of funny but she's never been called a racist regarding her Hate Whitey rants, especially all you evil *rich* white folk.

Karen Lewis would do her best to turn Chicago into a mini Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) with her playing the part of tin-pot Dictator Robert Mugabe. She'd just be confiscating white folks money instead of their farms and/or personal property.
Detroit would be a Paradise in comparison.
As long as chicago runs Washington the machine stays.

Post negative comment.
Wait 17 minutes. Post negative comment number two and use a different slant so you sound like another person commenting. You are so see through Mr. Number Two.
In case you aren't bright enough to get it, I just called you a number two. Ha!
Give it a rest Number Two. We are tired of hearing you 011 District children cry. From your post time, I assume you are a Tac child.
As for this post: substitute black for white and see what it sounds like. Not so good, right?
Kwame Raoul used to make a living in Evanston with another pathetic race hustler in an Evanston law office. His partner Lionel Jean Baptiste is a Haitian immigrant who was promoted by Jan Schakowsky to the Evanston City Council and, later, to a position on the Circuit Court of Cook County. Baptiste's most notable lawsuit sought slave reparations on a class action basis, but the case was tossed out.
Kwame Raoul hightailed to the South Side to grab Obama's former State Senate seat when the wonder boy was going to the US Senate.
He was not Barack's preferred candidate to fill the vacancy (when do Illinois pols listen to Barack as to filling vacancies?), but he flashed green to the ward committeemen and he was put into office.
Any self respecting copper ought to vote against Schakowsky who has leftist ties to the POTUS.
As long as the Candidate is Black, and Communist, (Democrat), thats all that matters. Millions to choose from in Chicago.
rudy guiliani for mayor
Seriously. How much longer can Garry keep his job. At this point we can put a chimpanzee in there and he could get the same results. At least he wouldn't keep telling us crime is down.
Kwame, a handpicked obamanite, wants Kirks US Senate spot. Emil 'ComEd' Jones is a Beavers-Stroger "its our turn" thief.
Rahm advisors can't rely on downtown Dorothy Brown due to another one of her recent slush fund antics.
Of course there's JJJr and Mrs. JJJr. and Mel Reynolds.
Rahm can't pull any of his trusted Cabinet advisors, (they might win).
So that leaves Carol Mosely-Braun. Dust her off, give her $250,000 seed money, 100 lawn signs and a couple 30 sec. spots on local tv. That's how I see it.
Anybody but Rahm.
Maybe Bruce Rauner can help out after he loses to Quinn, hmmmm.
4:09....
Who cares?
Now if they offered unrestricted VRI, that would save the children!
Now we have a 10 year old killed by gun fire and another 12 year old shot. Garry and Rahm have to admit the strategies are a complete failure. CPD needs a complete shake up from the superintendent all the way to the district commanders. It's actually embarrassing at this point to tell people that one you live in Chicago and two that you are CPD.
Bullwinkle had that same fucked up look in her eyes at her press conference that Dart had when he was ordered not to run.
The big money folks want this thing all for themselves and their instruments are Obama, Rahm, and Rauner.
And yes, they'll threaten Lewis or get Moseley-Braun, Danny Davis and Miguel DelValle to shill like last time.
Slightly OT:
Rahm's sugar-daddy and 2014 Combine candidate for governor, Bruce Rauner paid a bunch of teens to register/campaign for him at the Winnetka sidewalk sale yesterday.
The majority reaction was decidedly cool from his own neighbors. Several people loudly denounced Rauner when approached by the kids. One lady told them loudly: "He's terrible!".
Don't vote for this guy unless you want an underperforming 401(k) with lots skimmed off the top by Bruce's Money Manager friends.
Here we go again. From 330 Friday afternoon until 330 Saturday morning, 22 people were shot including the 11 year old girl who died and also a 12 year old. We are on pace for another 70 people shot this weekend. Everybody at this point should be calling for Garry's job at this point. Let's call it what it is. He's getting paid a large sum of money to develop and implement strategies to stop the violence in Chicago. He isn't stopping the violence and his strategies are a failure. He should be fired!

Wow, your statement says it all. "no one in 011 gives a fuck about anyone getting shot in 011."
What is your job? It's to try to police these people and prevent some of this stuff from happening. An 11 year old girl got shot in the head last night and died. Do you know any 11 year old kids? None of the deserves to die no matter what neighborhood they live in. But you "don't give a fuck." Maybe they need to replace jaded MotherFuckers like you with policemen that actually care... even a little. Policemen that might care enough to do traffic stops and street stops that just might prevent a little 11 year old girl from getting killed.

Agree, but make that the Mad Money Machine. None of these potential "contenders" have squat in comparison. They'll all fall off the wall, like dead flies- one after the other, just like they did in the last election. For this very reason: none had nor will have an entire city to steal from in order to finance their campaigns.
Obamachine helped put Tiny Pointer in position. Then, from the get-go, TP lied, schemed and stole from our cops, our schools & our taxpayers. His sole purpose- getting himself re-elected. Just look how shitty he's made our city.
Sadly, TP's got piles. I.E. more than enough Mad Money to poop on through to 2nd term.
It will be the Chicago Way, all the way.

Raoul was born in Chicago to Haitian immigrant parents, Dr. Janin and Marie Therese Raoul. Raoul earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from DePaul University and went on to receive his law degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law.

I agree with the posters calling for McCarthy's job. And it's not because of the constant shoitings, it because on Monday morning he will have the same old song and dance about gun control. Pause he keeps saying crime is down when everybody knows that it isn't. He manipulates the numbers and the gig is up. He has to go. Quite simply his initiatives and strategies don't work.

Forget about the 3 or 4 B's. Simply don't date what you police.
"Obamachine helped put Tiny Pointer in position..."
True enough, but they were almost doing cartwheels when Daley announced his retirement and Rahm was given a way to leave the White House. He was disliked and Obama sided with Valerie Jarrett over Rahm. Rahm was also faulted for the disastrous collapse of the House Democrats in the midterm elections.
Oddly enough, if Obama had not failed so miserably in pitching the Olympics for Chicago in 2016, Daley might have stood for reelection and Jarrett and her posse would have made big bucks off of the Olympic Village in sweetheart and insider real estate deals.
Emil Jones, Sr., and his gang have looted the City Colleges of Chicago, where many police officers once completed their classes, and now the same grafters are raping what remains of Chicago State University with Pat Quinn's blessing. Quinn has turned a blind eye to their corruption for the past six years because Emil delivered much needed votes for Patsy.
Choosing between Quinn and Rauner is liking picking between too nasty social diseases.

How about Rham's fake crying on the news for the 11 year old who was killed in Filmore ?? He says.. "this is not Chicago... We can do better" why don't you hire more cops asshole?? And let us take off the gloves for one month... You will see a huge difference. Your fake crying was not an academy award winner Rham it was horrible and "you can do better" HIRE MORE COPS!!!! don't you get it yet?? You took this job and things have gotten much worse... Send that carpetbagger back to Jersey and get someone in here who knows what the hell he is doing and not just some political hack no mind. Stop VRI and take that 90 million and hire more cops. Why is this so difficult to understand.

Looks like he's taking a page from the Phake Phather. Phony, phony, phony! Gotta work on that 'crack' in the voice to make it sound more realistic, Rham.
Chicago is short at least 2500 police officers , plus many full duty officers are hiding behind a desk .
Kids are murdered while full duty officers carry a gun to shuffle papers and answer telephones .
Make no doubt about this.
Come election time we will se several key African Americans get promoted to high positions.
Rahm will buy the vote from them.
And we'll all watch as they quickly forget what he did to them and their communities.
This is how the machine has always operated. Very sad.
The Elder Raouls were Hyde Park aristocracy...
That explains the stinkin'thinkin' of the son.
Now why in the heck would anybody run as a suicide shill candidate against the Rahmster when they know that he will put some sound bites together from The Messiah BHO like he did the first time which sort of sounds like an endorsement and will win the black vote and the election.
Because they may actually be getting money secretly from Rahm's warchest funneled through back channels.
If they play their cards right, collect even more money in campaign contributions but don't spend it and lose the election IT WILL BE THEIR MONEY. Reminds me of the movie “The Producers”, I prefer the earlier Gene Wilder version.
All they have to do is be careful with the accounting and pay the taxes, unlike Alderman Beavers and JJJr. and the money will pay for a nice retirement.

"How about Rham's fake crying on the news for the 11 year old who was killed in Filmore ??"
I am not a fan of the Rahmstein monster by any stretch of the imagination. But to diss him off on this case just ain't right.
When an 11 year girl sitting in an apartment playing with friends catches a bullet and dies if that doesn't effect you then you have to be just about coldest stone-hearted M-Fer that ever lived.
And since Rahm is in charge, it all his fault. What can he really do about it?
Hire more cops? An expensive and slow process. Especially after reading all the "de-policing" comments on this blog.
The City has dropped the ball by not supporting the police. Not appealing the opening of CR files, the reopening of the Sgt whose gun killed the woman, etc all undermine the working spirit of the police.
Shortage of manpower means riding the troops with no time off. Burnout is coming. Doing away with the 6 day work week was great. But the manpower shortage has virtually repealed that.
As for the shooting, murder and mayhem the black community has to finally get PO'ed and make a stand for a stop. But the society deteriorated over 30 years so it ain't gonna turn around overnight. There are no quick, simple solutions.

Political witch hunt on Quinn was called off because if they did a real investigation it would lead straight back to the White House. Someone will go to jail for the lost money, but it won't be who you think. This May damage Quinn but it could possibly have an element of friendly fire.

So the other option, keeping Rahm, is better?
I will vote for anyone other than Rahm. I will look at the candidate that has the most potential to beat him and vote for that person. I don't care who it is, Jackson Jr. even.
They will have four years to fail and then perhaps we can have a serious candidate come in because the machine won't be behind the replacement. Call it a four year plan if you will, but I will never vote for, or not vote against, Emmanuel. I realize a lot of damage can be done in those four years. Allowing Rahm to burrow in for that same time will be worse.

Thought this was all Garry's fault and the shortage of manpower. Years ago when this happened the CPD was at full strength and Garry wasn't here.
Anyone who thinks that is the answer to these killings is naive.
Yeah, Kwame Raoul...a libturd bleeding heart POS who sponsored the bill that abolished the death penalty in good ol' Il-leee-noise. Thanks a lot fuckface!! That's the LAST fucker we need as mayor in Shit-cago.
Carol Moseley Braun has been out of elected office since 1998. Bill Clinton bailed her out with a soft ambassadorial appointment that ended in 2001. Since that time, most of her business and political undertakings have failed miserably. She is almost flat broke, so she would make one hell of a mayoral challenger or a stalking horse.

Saw Karen Lewis on TV giving a talk about the upcoming election and who was standing right behind her was extortionist Jesse Jackson Sr. Enough to make you barf. So you have Raccoon Eyes or Karen beholden to the likes of Jackson. Great choice.
nobody can be as bad as Rahm. whoever has the best chance of beating him will get my vote, another 4 years of this guy is unbearable. If we give this clown another 4 years, he will never leave. I will take my chances on someone new as no one will raise the funds that this prick can nor do they carry the same connections. He leads by intimidation and heavy duty clout. No one else can duplicate that, If they arent any good then it will only be one term.

gary chico for mayor
Just wish I could go back 20 years and decide NOT to take this job in the first place.
Very funny to see Sun-Times columnist/communist Laura Washington call out Kwame Raoul as a phony in today's newspaper. She pointed up the fact that he always floating his name for various higher political offices without actually campaigning.
It is disgusting to see the liberal simps fawning over this do nothing Raoul just like they did for another do nothing named Obama.

Be happy you took this job. If you have 20 years on you will be getting close to retirement and a nice pension.
All you Karen Lewis supporters that are LEO, seemed to have forgotten about this. Oh yeah vote for her for mayor.

Officially known as "Occupy the Justice Department," the event is endorsed by the usual group of malcontents, including "Educators for Mumia Abu-Jamal" – a collection of left-wing teachers from across the country.
Among Mumia’s many well-wishers in the K-12 community is Milwaukee Teachers’ Education Association President Bob Peterson, the entire Chicago Teachers Union, and the Rethinking Schools crew who produce anti-American lesson plans and teaching materials that are used in countless classrooms.

Now we have a 10 year old killed by gun fire and another 12 year old shot. Garry and Rahm have to admit the strategies are a complete failure. CPD needs a complete shake up from the superintendent all the way to the district commanders. It's actually embarrassing at this point to tell people that one you live in Chicago and two that you are CPD.

I would be interested in hearing your strategies for reducing crime.
Don't forget that Karen Lewis blamed the poor student performance on too many white teachers. She wants more teachers of color so the students can relate. A racist she seems to be.If you think the mayor of Toronto was the laughing stock of the country, wait until Karen Lewis is elected mayor fc Chicago. Jimmy Fallen will have a field day.

Be very, veeeeery, worried if Karen Lewis runs for mayor and has a chance of beating Tiny Dancer. She's so far left she makes Karl Marx look like a low-tax free market Capitalist.
From her own mouth it's clear that she hates-detests-loathes-anyone with a little bit of money, except of course for teachers and 'professional educators' like Bill Ayers.
On her first day in the mayor's office she'd unveil a City Income Tax, and you can take that to the bank. An Income Tax that'd be so draconian it'd be confiscatory (characterized by, effecting, or resulting in confiscation). Folks could actually move to New York City to save money.
Oh, and Karen Lewis isn't all that fond of White People either. Though it's sort of funny but she's never been called a racist regarding her Hate Whitey rants, especially all you evil *rich* white folk.

Karen Lewis would do her best to turn Chicago into a mini Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) with her playing the part of tin-pot Dictator Robert Mugabe. She'd just be confiscating white folks money instead of their farms and/or personal property.
Detroit would be a Paradise in comparison.

Karen Lewis is mixed so no need to be racist against white or black. Go peddle your fic-facts somewhere else.

You're not rich so she wasn't including you. Go take a nap so you'll be rested for your side gig.

Kwame is a hideous gun grabber, for that reason alone I would not want him anywhere near the Governors mansion. No respect for 2A rights = no respect for the people of this "illinoyed" state ! Remenber that, Kwame when you move to restrict what we can defend ourselves with. The same for you, Dan Kotowski.

I like "Illinoyed." Market that.
Yep- gotta split the vote.
