Hard Leftist Takes Lewis' Spot
- Cook County Commissioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia (D-Chicago) said Monday he will challenge Mayor Rahm Emanuel in the February election.
“I think this city is not headed in the right direction,” Garcia told Early and Often, the Chicago Sun-Times political portal. “I’m hearing from people all over the city that the mayor’s vision and style are not what the city wants.”
Garcia is poised to mount a left-leaning campaign, trying to appeal to Emanuel critics disappointed that County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis did not enter the mayoral race.
So does this siphon off Rahm's left wing? And fracture the Hispanic bloc Rahm has been courting to counter the shift of black voters away from him?

Anyone know what Gary Chico is doing?
Sure would be a good time for him!
power to the people(or is it folks) chuy!!!!
CHuy a Sc-hill!
he has never had big dreams like being mayor. Check his bank account.
He is running to take his panic votes and that will give RAHM the win.
Rahm showed his ass by closing schools in black neighborhoods to get revenge against CTU for striking...
He knows that the Catered To Constituency is pissed about what he's done by closing schools and giving money to the kickback artiste charter school operators so his "f/u" to the Catered To Constituency is trucking in refugees from south of the Rio Grande to swell the Latino democratic voter rolls with fanatic loyalists who STFU and take whatever crumbs left over from fattening those phony fucks from the North Shore and the Gold Coast.
>Clink!<
Hark! Another $25K plate was just slid across fine linen somewhere on the North Shore!
Rahm dons his Riddler costume with a tutu, runs for the nearest window and jumps...
>Rushing Wind sound efx<
(Heh! Green long johns with black question marks
all over. How utterly appropriate... ;^)
"Money-Money ZOOOOOM!"
"We can't wait for the mayor to fix you wild-assed, out of control cops because you guys ARE the problem!"
This City is in one heck of a mess
politically and violently. So many other places in the country that are pure pleasure to live in, raise families and have a good time. Biggest sacrifice in some of those places, however, are good career jobs with loads of stability. Pretty lean out there. We're screwed either way, stay here or move there...we pay a price for both. Wish we had a serious good choice for Leaders.
Unless they dig up Harold and run him, Rhambo is a shoe in. No one has the money or name recognition.
The mope electorate doesn't care. Look at the sun times online, the first story is about the state of the Bears. Beer, wings and go bears, blackhawks and bulls. Don't complain when the property taxes come in the mail.
Rahm's got his votes already.
This will only divide Fioretti and Garcia.
Its over. Rahm will win with ease.
They're all communists. Every last Democrat.
He was PAYED OFF by the outfit (AKA: 9.5 and Co.)
Vote for the Communist!
Collapse the system!
Kill the Pigs...
I don't think that will work out well for anyone in Chicago?
OT:
That Nurse in New Jersey who is screaming Federal Lawsuit cause she says her basic human rights have been violated is making her profession look ridiculous. Lest to not bring harm to others.
"So does this siphon off Rahm's left wing? And fracture the Hispanic bloc Rahm has been courting to counter the shift of black voters away from him?"
Let's hope so
It's their turn. Time for a Hispanic mayor. Hey, we could use some more "elote" carts you the Northwest side.
Come one come all Hispanics!! Legal or illegal! Cast your vote for Jesus!!
Jesus is running?

The Romans called it "Bread and Circus".
Welfare and games.
In Chicago politics, a 'planted' shill is someone designated to run to pull away the votes from the opponent of the one who plants the shill. (based mostly on race, followed by popularity, exposure and/or party lines)
An 'independent' shill is one who runs on their own, again as a possible spoiler, with hopes that he/she is offered a deal by one or both most likely to be effected, a deal or position down the line to drop out and/or throw their support toward the one offering the best deal.
But then again, this is the Chicago way and you knew that.
Move along now, nuttin' to see here.
Shill, Part Deux:
Like they say in poker, If you're sitting at the card table with a group of players and you can't figure out who the sucker is... it's probably YOU.
Personally, I will support the Chicago Bears to the bitter end, and everyone else can go to hell. The Bears mean well and try harder. They are the only bright ray of sunshine in this hell hole of a city. Go Bears!!!

Gery, not Gary.
He has a job. He's not interested.
Don't underestimate Chuy.
The anyone but Rahm sentiment is huge. And his name is Jesus!!
You can bet Raccoon Eyes put this guy in the race to split up the vote. This fellow comes out of nowhere now to run for mayor? Very suspect.
Nah, he is just another sacrificial lamb like all the other ninnies they used to line up against Daley. He’s an outlandish fool; they wouldn’t let anyone else run.
"Chuy" kills.
"In 2011, Cook County led the nation by taking a bold step toward getting Chicago Police to stop honoring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers.
"Arizona shows us the worst examples of xenophobia and anti immigrant policies and the potential future of the entire country if we don't take it upon ourselves to act. We moved Cook County to prevent the federal government from turning us into another Arizona...” said Cook County Commissioner Jesus Garcia."

...and the result?
Cook County Pressured to Reverse Sanctuary Policy
By Jessica Vaughan, January 6, 2012
"Commissioners in Cook County, Ill., (which includes Chicago) are starting to feel some heat over an ill-conceived ordinance they enacted in September, requiring the county sheriff to ignore ICE requests to hold criminal aliens to enable the agency to initiate removal proceedings (detainers).
"Sheriff Tom Dart...released more than 100 illegal alien criminals from his jail back to the streets, some of whom have since committed new crimes, including assaulting police officers...one dead victim's family [spoke] about how the sheriff had released their loved one's killer, enabling him to flee from justice,
"In June 2011, an illegal alien and habitual drunk driver named Saul Chavez ran over and killed Dennis McCann, of Chicago. Chavez had recently finished a sentence of two years of probation for an earlier aggravated drunk driving offense. The judge set bond at $250,000, and ICE issued a detainer, but just before Thanksgiving, Chavez's brother appeared with the $25,000 cash, so the sheriff's office took the money and let Chavez run. After Chavez missed a court date (surprise!), police paid a visit to his house to take him back into custody. His roommate, the brother, insists he's just out running errands, but police have concluded that he has fled.
"The County Commissioner who sponsored the ordinance, Jesus "Chuy" Garcia, has replied to Brian McCann, the victim's brother, in a three-page letter overflowing with legal fictions and delusional statements. In the letter, Garcia insists that obstructing ICE efforts to take custody of criminal aliens is necessary "to protect the integrity of the criminal justice process."
"...even the most basic research would have revealed the existence of a federal regulation specifically permitting state and local police to hold aliens up to 48 hours (holidays and weekends excepted) – take a look at 8 CFR Section 287.7, which provides that a law enforcement agency "shall maintain custody of an alien" against whom a detainer has been placed..."

Judge Peggy Chiampas for mayor!
03:22AM. Yup that's what I was thinking too. I wonder how much he got paid or what promise he got from Rahm.
"Chuy" my ass. He's a ringer. Rahm is behind this. This guy is an idiot.
I would vote for this guy over Rahm. Rahm is just another rich fat cat Washington politician. Don't trust him. This guy sounds like he will at least attempt to hire police officers and bring manpower up from the dangerous level it is now.
Oh-oh, some of the plantation dwellers are rebelling against their masters. This is Drudge Headline: ...........
SHOCK VIDEO: BLACKS TURN ON DEMS
'THEY ARE ABUSING US'
Here's the video: ... Chicago Activists Unchained, Destroy Black Leadership
Pretty sure its Cory Booker leading the rebellion.
what is rudy guiliani up too, we need draft rudy for mayor, rudy would make a great mayor,
DRAFT RUDY NOW, SEISER FOR SUPT,
This idiot isn't getting any where. He was on the news and could barely articulate a sentence. Good luck with your last minute campaign, lol n
If someone found a way for every Hispanic in Chicago to cast a vote, he'd win in the biggest landslide in the city's history.
not sure about Chicago's population, but....it has bee said (accurate?) that one person leaves Illinois every ten minutes....
Chuy!
I've seen Chuy in action up close....
HA! HA! HA!
Hard leftist?
This clown wants his fingers in the till like everyone else.
Well at least he won't get the 250,000 votes from all the illegal fence jumping anchor babies living in the city, probably more like half a million actually. Thats next election, after Obama and Quinn make them all legal with the stroke of a pen. Sorry, "temporary visitors" what a joke. Hopefully Chuy takes Rhams pissed off voters away and Fioretti takes the cake. Fingers crossed, but with this city's history its a long shot.
-cop
I'm voting for Paschke
Curious.....
Masters and Hamilton are Rham guys working at County.
Preckwinkee is backing Garcia.
...SO what do Masters and Hamilton do. Give lip service to Preckwinkees guy Garcia and secretly vote for Rham?
***Its Crook County Politics Who can you trust
Hey 5:18 have you even considered the thought that one of the savages you deal with may have something worse than ebola that you were exposed to. Remember a few years ago when the media gave the impression that the bird flu would wipe out half the planet nobody paid attention to anything else. Ebola is the present day bird flu which keeps the masses (fools)glued to the television. Dont believe everthing you see on tv and remember the few people that do die of ebola are people with no health care, sick already or elderly. Pick up a book do your own research, and make your own decisions. Stay safe.
RhmBo is So Screwwed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. $15 Million
I vote for anyone but RhamBoo
Write in... Cooter
Please, let's be real here…. Rahm is a shoe in. He's got $17M in the coffers and plenty of outside donors if need be. He'll get the black vote, the hispanic vote, the white vote and any crackhead votes that the ACORN folks can drag out of their abandoned houses on election day.
The Machine will always win.
his son Lil Samy ran the dark side two six a couple of years ago!
Left of Rahm? Be careful what you wish for.

Typical Liberal SCUMBAG and being selfish to get other people sick with her disease she brought back from a foreign country, she had no business being in!
No different than the idiots that go to Iran or North Korea and expect the U.S. to help them out when things don't go their way!
Looking for a quick ghetto payday!
She is no different than a hoodrat!
