Willie and Bobby Wafflehouse
- Willie Wilson continues to be a potential kingmaker in the Chicago mayoral race.
The African-American businessman, who was knocked out of the contest in the Feb. 24 primary, says he had private meetings over the weekend with the two candidates who will be on the April 7 ballot: incumbent Rahm Emanuel and Cook County Commissioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia.
Wilson tells CBS 2’s [...] he’s already decided he’ll vote for Garcia. That’s based in part, he says, on his dissatisfaction with public school closings under Emanuel’s administration and also the city’s continued use of red-light cameras.
“My personal vote is for anybody except for this mayor,” Wilson said Sunday.
Still, he said, he could end up publicly endorsing Emanuel, depending on what members of his own community tell him. Wilson insisted his personal vote is separate from who might be best for the city as a whole.
So Willie is going to mislead his entire constituency by voting his dissatisfaction (Chuy) but encourage the unwashed masses to vote for Willie's economic interests (Rahm). So much for that "untied front" thing against Rahm, eh?

This is what happened. Willie met with Chuy, and promised him his vote.
Then he met with Rahm, who promised him certain future benefits, and he promised Rahm his endorsement.
Voila. My vote goes to the guy who I believe in, but my endorsement goes to the highest bidder.
please stop calling him chuy,, his name is
Jesus Garcia, it's pronunciation Hey-zues Garcia.
Willie Wilson is a honest man, he tells everyone who he is voting for. I voted for him and will follow his lead by voting with him.
He has the courage to vote his conscious and still back his community. To bad he didn't make it all the way. He is not a political guy, he is a business man and a straight shooter. That's why he makes 60 million a year.
GOOF
money does not buy power.
So MR. anti Whitey should just sell his vote already and be proud that the news finds him interesting.
Fioretti? same boat.
sore losers
Unfortunately, Chicago politics are not unique. They are practiced all over the fruited plain and in waffle houses too.
Alright Alright Alright Alright
Sounds like someone is willing to sell his endorsement, but only if they meet his price?
Some media guy sid on the radio that the Latino community will take to the streets if CHEW-IE is not elected.
It was said, Little village, Pilsen, and the good park people at Humbolt in 014 will pull an Old time Bulls win riot.
Also heard after hearing this, cpd cmdr Linda Flores will be formulating a plan to stop the violance after election and ne head of the command van in Pilsen. One leader all the way !
Money talks. To hell with what's right.
Soul selling. It's what they do best.
This is coming from the guy whose big campaign promise was to reopen Miegs field. He's really got his finger on the pulse of Chicago.
What a sell out! What did Rham promise him? He's rich so don't need money? I guess all those schools Rham closed means nothing to the black community!
Gotta love Willie. He's a laugh a minute. Has he spent any quality time with his son lately?
Our community demands jobs, opportunities & paybacks!
Don't be a sell out Willie! If Emmanuel promised you something best believe he ain't gonna come thru Willeyh. Don't forget that Rahm had to pay money back he was stealing from campaign for personal use. If Rahm new anything about finances and how to fix a broken city he would of in the 4 years he had instead he robbed the place blind. Obama will be out soon and the Feds will come in in regards Comptroller Rahm hired and dig, dig, I mean dig for answers and search the paper trail. You best believe Willie, someone's going to jail. Willie don't be part if the problem. Be part of the solution.
Willie's a whore.
He'll support the highest bidder.
Lawd Jesus, it's a fire!
12:22...
He makes $60 million a year because Ray Kroc gave him a McDonalds.
Willie is an oportunist.
He was in this from the start to hustle Emanuel.
Rahm's got my vote, only if he fully funds our pension by 07 Apr 15.
Jessie Jackson, Jr. who does he endorse? Willie Wilson who do the Jackson's endorse? Go figure don't trust their vote of confidence in the ballerina dancer!

Latino's couldnt care less, The novelty of having a spanish surname wears off quickly, look at ted cruz.
Willie was a "ringer" for Raccoon Eyes from the start. He drew away enough Black votes from Chuy. Now he will endorse the Raccoon. This was always plan B if there was a runoff. Politics will never change in this town.
"please stop calling him chuy,, his name is Jesus Garcia, it's pronunciation Hey-zues Garcia."
I won't vote for anybody who thinks he's the son of God.
The Wacky World of Politics in Chi-Town like no other!
Just a reminder, Cook County property taxes are due today. Pay on time or your property will end up on the tax delinquency list and up for sale at auction.
The Chicago Trib reported that candidate Chuy Garcia failed to pay property taxes on the home he inherited by his parents. He took advantage of the homeowner’s exemption on a second home for eight years while his principle residence was somewhere else. The Trib then slipped in he voted for the largest tax property tax increase in Chicago’s history.
Here is Rahm’s property tax legacy while he served in Congress. The Chicago home of four-term Democrat Congressman and likely new White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, doesn’t exist. While the address of 42XX North Hermitage is listed as Emanuel’s residence on the Illinois State Board of Elections’ website, there seems to be no public record of Emanuel ever paying property taxes on this home. Why would 42XX North Hermitage property owners Rahm Emanuel and wife Amy Rule not pay property taxes?
One reason could be because Emanuel and Rule declared their 42XX North Hermitage home as the office location for their non-profit foundation appropriately called the “Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Foundation”. As a non-profit headquarters, they may consider their home as exempt from paying taxes.
Both mayoral candidates have property tax skeletons in their closets!!! You tell me that there isn’t some candidate out there who can play by the property tax rules of those living on Main Street. Instead, the two top mayoral candidates have chosen to act like privileged tax dodgers from 121 N. LaSalle Street. What about all the empty political rhetoric of not paying pay their fair share? One set of rules and legally permissible tax strategies for political tax law passing elites. And another oppressive set of taxing policies for the unwashed masses.
Wilson said he agreed with some of the school closings. I think he is just jumping on the "anybody but Rahm" bandwagon.
lady gaga for mayor, seiser for supt.
He's only one vote. People will see right through him as a whore. True colors back stabber. He fits right with Rahm.

Latino's are too busy with jobs and responsibilities to riots.
Damnit to Hell!
Rahm has his minions crawling around on the blog and shitting in every thread about how Rahm knows what he's doing and how the running poll numbers are skewed and "You dumb city workers are going to ruin this city if you throw in with Garcia."
Rebuttal:
Rahm made it his personal business to:
A. Stop at fire houses and pick a fight by telling those guys, "You're gonna have to learn to bleed" when they voiced concerns about their pensions.
B. Send a message via his henchmen that "We' re gonna stick it in the Cops ear" in regard to pay and pension.
C. Pick a similar fight with CTU, then when they make noise about striking, has his flunkies in Springfield increase the strike vote threshold, then when they DO strike and he's forced to eat crow ass first and negotiate, he retaliates by dynamiting schools in mostly black and latino neighborhoods then shovel more money to his re-election fund kick-back artists charter school operator friends?
D. Intentional neglect of Chicago beyond the boundaries of Downtown and Near North.
The m/fers in charge aren't from here and they're
very actively stealing city service resources from the neighborhoods that pay the most freight to make this
damned thing go.
Rahm has offered not a damned thing of substance other than hurting working people and calling it progress.
A lot of shit-talk about the "tough decisions" Rahm made when all the fuck he's done was pick fights with what's left of Chicago's formerly formidible middle class?
Who the fuck decided this was sound strategy?
Or is this about busting these overwhelmingly decent and law abiding people out to steal from them?
Why didn't Rahm The Cowardly, Nasty and Deeply Closeted North-Shore Classist/Racist not go to the garden spots of misery, violence and hatred on Chicago's South and West sides and pick a fight with THOSE hyperviolent, artfully dodging responsibility, no contract with the rest of society motherfuckers?
Mistuh Dance Major is a financial guru because he made himself indesposable to the right people at the right time and backed into a $18 Million fortune by playing middle man?
So... These "smart" M/Fers like Rahm who laugh up their sleeves at everybody who isn't THEM, know best how to govern this city and state while trying to redirect the blame for the current financial mess from the immediate past regimes to the people who for the most part did nothing but work, put in their time and play by the rules?
The Catered To Constituents don't get fucked with like this because Rahm & Co. KNOW the optics will be bad when the catered to people and folks take up "the violence" and aim it at Rahm & Co's asses.
"Wait, soul brothers! We're on the same side against THEM!"
"But y'all fuckin' with OUR shit now so you grimy mufukkahs gotta pay."
Viva Hate.
Rahm is scared.
Rahm IS beatable.
Everyone deserves a chance, just like Harold. I have a good feeling!!
VOTE "Chuy"
"My personal vote is for anybody except for this mayor,” Wilson said Sunday."
"Still, he said, he could end up publicly endorsing Emanuel, depending on what members of his own community tell him. "

Huh?
please stop calling him chuy,, his name is
Jesus Garcia, it's pronunciation Hey-zues Garcia.
---------------
Hey chump. He put the name on the ballot. He printed the campaign signs. He goes by Chuy. Just because you don't like people calling him Chuy doesn't me shit.
America
I agree with Viva Hate
Have Rahm and Co. wear body cameras.
I'm always trying to pick a winner, now I'm stuck with two dozen "whiteys for willie" T-shirts! Might try to recoup some money with "righties for rahm" or "chicanos por chuy"
