Rahm Finished?

Missed this one right after the election - from Chicago Magazine:
  • It’s the day after Election Day, and most of the analysis undoubtedly will center on what exactly happened that forced Rahm Emanuel into a runoff election against Jesus “Chuy” Garcia on April 7. And while that may be the biggest headline, one other shade to this year’s municipal elections is just how much the Chicago Teachers Union flexed its muscle.

    This morning I called Jesse Sharkey, the 45-year-old former high school teacher who took over as head of the CTU when Karen Lewis was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor last fall. (She has since returned to work.) For more on who Sharkey is and what drives him, read my interview with him from last November (part 1 here, part 2 here).

    Sharkey was on his way to work and tired—out late at Garcia’s victory party—but exulting in Garcia’s victory, not to mention the slew of victories (or at least forced runoffs) of CTU-backed aldermanic candidates. Garcia will be the next mayor, Sharkey says, adding that politics in Chicago has changed forever.
It's a pretty good article and hopefully, prophetic.

I am a CPD member. If "Chuy" is elected Chicago has De Blasio (New York) all over again. Rahm is the lesser of two evils! I would vote none of the above, if I had that option. Stay safe - and be well.

Time to get rid of some CLOUT in Chicago.

Only way to do that is NOT re-elect Rahm. AND, if Chuy turns out to be crap, vote HIM out in 4 years.

No need to re-elect incompetence, no matter what the race or ethnicity.

The city will move forward, maybe slowly, but it will.

All this fear that - "you better vote for Rahm, otherwise the city will go to shit."

HEY - it's already there. What you need to do is stop the "deals", turn the city around and THAT is not going to happen with Rahm in charge.

Just more HUGE $ projects for the connected few.

"Grow a dick and grow a brain" - vote Rahm out. THAT is the campaign slogan of the century.

Oh please God that would be great! Rahm is just the same old Chicago machine politics with a "very rich arrogant smarter than you" attitude. Chuy may not be that great but we need to try something different. The Daly Rahm stench has been around too long.

Many will rat their words for bashing Rahm. After the 2 commie, Garcia and Lewis win, both are one, the city will be a desert for all business' all around. The taxes you pay now for the do nothings will just go up and up. The old Soviets will be proud for Garcia and Lewis.
Rahm got an attitude, but tuff shit.

We have to try something different because Rahm is just the same as the "Chicago crime machine" that has been running things forever. We know what we're getting with Rahm and that's a hot poker in the neck. He's a snake! If Garcia fails chicago too then we get him out in 4 years also, but we have to try something other than Rahm. Vote Chuy!

Chicago's middle class is caught between a rock and a hard place, between Rahm looking out for his 1% cronies and Marxists Lewis, Sharkey and Garcia covering the other end of the spectrum. I worry they'll be raising a lot of taxes, and driving away businesses and employers, given the opportunity, but at least they won't be hostile and bullying like Rahm, nor (hopefully) pocketing and giving away as much. Garcia, at least, is listening to what people want, or don't want.

He is calm, measured Rahm , who might not always be likeable, but just wants to fight for us. There is a glass of water and a folded up newspaper on the table. The glass looks kinda smudged from his greasy little hands. There is a living room with too many chairs and bad window treatments.

We need a mayor that cares about all of Chicago not just a certain race or social economic group. I'm tired of all the attention on the poor and rich neighborhoods. Meanwhile the middle class get left out causing the middle class to flee. I myself plan on joining the thousands that are fleeing to other states for a better life. Years of same old political machine not only in the city but also in Springfield has me and my family fed up. Regardless of who is elected the future doesn't look bright. It's a little too late.

Chuy is an old school machine politician Ala Daley. He has bounced from office to office with the help of the machine. So if you think he will be a one termer if he screws everything up you are mistaken. He has promised the world and offered no way to pay for anything. Both the candidates suck. But Rahm sucks less.

It is nice to see all of the Rahm trolls surfacing all over the blogs. It is also hilarious to see posts damning Garcia as a Communist when Rahm's top media advisor is Axelrod (a genuine Red Diaper baby).

The key difference is that Rahm and his leftist pals see themselves as the "Vanguard of the Proletariat." They eat caviar while you subsist on oatmeal. They prosper while you slave.

Before the Machine was perfected, Chicago used to have mayoral elections in which different candidates came and went. Lifetime tenure and continuity have not made for good management. If Garcia disappoints as mayor, send him packing in 2019. Rahm is going to screw everyone over if he is reelected. He is a vengeful and arrogant person. How much vitriol will he expend after his humiliation in February? Wipe the slate clean in April -- it will be hell if Rahm returns to office. Think of the service you will be performing for the USA if Chicago derails Emanuel's national ambitions too!

You are a dreamer of the first order. There is nothing the mayor of Chicago can do to stop the slidding of the pension funds. No matter who the mayor is. As Gov. Rauner just stated, "Chicago is sliding toward bankruptcy". Yes it is and nothing can be done about it.Blame Daley and the teachers and trade unions for this. When it happens, all contracts will be null and void.

Will not happen. Scare tactics. There is so much money in hidden funds the Feds and state would laugh as soon as bankruptcy would be filed. Lol. Listen to Rahm and Rauner... Those are your sources, drinking buddy's that make "tough choices". Lol your an idiot.

Rahm's commercial should win an industry award for best acting and best direction. It's a fake, just like Emanuel and Rauner's so-called 'FEUD'.

These two didn't become enemies overnight and they're united in PLAYING US, trying to make the citizens buy into this bankruptcy thing.

They hope we'll forget about the billion or two in the TIF accounts. We won't, no matter how many times Rauner rattles the saber and winks at Emanuel when he thinks we don't see it.

For all you pro-Rahm fear mongers who are dropping your little pointy turds all over the blog like the rats you are?

Please eat poison and try not to die behind the walls...
The stink will be noticeable and you little rotten fuckers would be too hard to remove.

Rahm Emanuel.
Picked an ENTIRELY AVOIDABLE, VERY UNNECESSARY FIGHT when the first fucking thing he did after he blew into town and made sure his wedding dress was still in the crawl-space, was to make it HIS business to go to a fire house and shit-talk firemen about "You guys are gonna have to learn to bleed."

Yeah, good strategy...
Threatening people who can't fight back only because they have conditions of employment and compelling rules under pain of discipline up to and including suspension without pay, termination, arrest, prosecution, loss of their worked for pension because of arrest and prosecution and the humiliation behind that.

Same thing for Rahm's vow to "Stick it in the cops ear."

WHOOOO!
Nice!

Note that there is no evidence of Rahm pimp-walking through a "Catered To Constituent" no-go zone on Chicago's South or West Sides to play Mistuh Tuff-Guy
and talk his mega-shit to THEM about the hit THEY'RE gonna have to take to set this city on "sound" financial footing. (The definition of which, changes depending on which lyin' m/fer of the moment is talking.)

They have NO rules of conduct.
They have NO condition of employment
proscribing them from rightful, manly
retaliation in the face of such blatant
and artfully crafted disrespect.

As one would imagine a weasel falling into an
Amazon tributary full of Piranhas?

The Catered To Constituents, having no
compelling rules, would have gnawed Rahm's
narrow ass to a skeleton.

But we have THIS:

"We're voting for Rahm because he's tough and he takes no guff from you Coppers and Firemen. You guys pension and pay are outlandish. Rahm is gonna
take you guys on and make you take cuts to save this city. Fuck you guys and your $100K pensions and sweet early retirements. We don't get that so why should you? You bums ought to work and not draw a penny of pension until you're 70..."

Etc. Etc. And so on...

Hey Rahm!

You all should have your fingers tied in knots...

How come Rahm didn't take his "attitude" and show it to Dude?

Dude and his clownery costs this city more than the cumulative salaries and pensions of every copper since 1855...

Since it's all about money to Rahm and all about kissing his narrow tutu clad ass to you obtuse henchmen and "interns."

You fuckheads are so cute and clever.
Crunch THOSE numbers and get back to
us with your findings if you dare.

"Vote Rahm or ELSE!"

We're ALREADY living "or ELSE,"
ya bunch of fucking dummies!

I just want to be a fly on the wall in the White House, when O'bummer finds out that his lap dog lost the election.

Drude Report and Fox would go up for grabs.

It would be worth the price of admission!

Rahm had 4 years and didn't fix our pension. Keeps borrowing money and promising millions for Star Wars museum, Obama library, Obama school, etc... He has to go or we continue down the road to a lower bond rating and higher borrowing costs. Chuy is simply an anti-power vote, and won't be able to do anything for 4 years; but the cycle of Chicago Machine will be broken, for at least 4 years. Get out and vote for Garcia, and get your family out to.

BTW: Tribune article on Rauners budget says a lot:

"Rauner sought to defend his first budget proposal, which cuts $6.6 billion in spending, one-third of which would come from a constitutionally questionable shift in public worker pensions and benefits."

Gov. Rauner says that unions are "The Machine" not the graft taking politicians.
“The Chicago machine is a government union machine at its core. ... Until we deal with that, Chicago is lost,”
Corporate money, hedge funds etc. that buy profitable personal political agendas which benefit a small number of select people is ok though.

Gov. Rauner does not think Rahm has been tough enough, or rubbed people the wrong way enough. Tribune says Rauner faulted "Emanuel for not taking a more hard-line stance."

Wow.

An update from your friend in the Department of Human Resources. Your boss is an arrogant ass. Since I last posted, Commissioner Choi and Garry McCarthy have been aggressively trying to figure out who I am for outing the manipulation of the lieutenant's test, so I'm going to be vague. From what I have heard, the sergeant's union lawsuit can be delayed by the City until after the election-and that's all DHR and the mayor's people want. No more media about this, and once the mayor is safely re-elected, a big FU to all of you who spent money on prep classes, scheduled vacations, etc because unless the lawsuit prevails, the test will be re-opened and the reading list completely changed. I am hearing it's all because your Bob Tracey has a merit Sergeant Frausto as his admin sergeant and that he has taken a very personal interest in shepherding her into an exempt position. We did the paperwork for his last admin sergeant Karen Conway who he succeeded in giving a gold star to as head of R&D without even being a lieutenant, so I don't see why he doesn't just make her but it must be for appearances. It's pretty clear here that if you are a white female who works for Bob Tracey, you are golden. I hope you guys don't let the issue die, because it all comes down to the amount of pressure put on the mayor before the election. Again, my identity is highly sought after, so let me say I heard all this at the watercooler and have no inside info. ;)

I am retired CPD and my wife continues to teach CPS. Jesse is a remarkable man; humble and kind, a genuine person,

+++++++++++++

All true, but will he fund the pension payment next year?

He has no plan.

No tax increases.
End the red light camera.
Limited use of the TIFF funds.
No Casino.

The teachers will be his main priority. SEIU is he major funding source. Remember they paid for buses to Protest the police in NYC and Ferguson.

Vote your pocket book not your emotions. That being said I still hate Rahm even thou I's leaning towards him.

What I like most about the Emmanuel family is wife Amy. She is never in the limelight or in any of the society woman's groups. The best part about her is she didn't even campaign for her husband. Not one commercial, newspaper article or radio show.

3/08/2015 01:24:00 PM

Amy Rule (allegedly, wink - wink) didn't want to move back to Chicago from D.C. and didn't want to take the kids out of their schools. She has no interest in what Rahm is doing and pretty obviously has no interest in what this city is doing. I bet she harbors a deep, abiding desire for her husband to lose this election so she can get back to real life.

I received 5 phone calls at the house yesterday every couple hours from 312 647 2906. Caller ID shows "Student Loan Re". Phone call was from Rahm Emanuel's campaign. My wife was none to pleased after dealing with all the nuisance telemarketing calls everyday. What a slimy weasel Rahm is. Count two more votes from one household for Garcia.

3/08/2015 09:25:00 AM
I've been getting those, but they are calling a relative's # (we live in condos in a two flat)and when she asked if she could say who she was voting for, the woman said, no, they had to know who I was voting for. Do you think they are calling cop's specifically and tracking how we are voting?

SCC, perhaps you should poll and see how many of us have gotten calls from this polling firm disguised as a student loan company.

Re: that newer Rahm commercial showing the 'warm & fuzzy' Emanuel - I laugh when that show that glass. It's probably a $5,000 crystal filled with some $150,000 a bottle white wine. (None for you, peasants!)

Sorry to inform you, pal, but your choices for mayor are both communists. At least with Chuy you will have one who isn't as evil. Vote him out in four years, but vote Rahm out now.

Rahm sucks, we all know that but if you ever want to see your pension you need to consider voting for him. Does anyone think Chewy is going to save our pensions? Does anyone think that in four years there will even be a pension? Chewy will get his money, play big dealer and advertise Sanctuary City and then declare the city bankrupt. Don't get me wrong, Rahm might do the same but it is a sure thing with Chewy. Screw Daley, I at least want the possibility to collect my pension.

3/08/2015 02:08:00 PM

Are you high? Rahm is determined to take your pension away. He told you he would. You are a fool voting for the person who tells you he is going to rob you of your future.

CPD Member also and I agree with The first Post that says Chuy is equal to De Blasio in a leftist social philosophy with no plans to get us out of the Financial mess we are in and only a plan to spend us further into bankruptcy. This is strictly a campaign about getting Rahm out and not for substantive change. So< Rahm is probably the lessor of two evils. Like Picking between Pol Pot and Stalin.

Shouldn't have any effect at all. Vote for the candidate, not the has-been guy standing in the background, hoping to hang on the successful candidate's coattails.

Actually, not much if you think about it...
If Garcia's people were smart, they would
manage that ignorant, drooling, farting fool
into a far corner and make sure he doesn't
move.

You sound paranoid. Election is a few weeks off and the candidadates have this conspiracy to see how the police vote all 10000 of us and which most of this blog say don't vote anyway.. I think they have more important problems
