Runoff Rahm
- For Rahm Emanuel, Tuesday’s mayoral election was the political equivalent of Groundhog Day: six more weeks of campaigning.
With 97 percent of the precincts counted, Emanuel had 45.3 percent to 33.9 percent for his top challenger Jesus “Chuy” Garcia. That’s 4.5 percent short of the 50 percent-plus-one vote that the mayor needs to avoid an April 7 runoff against Garcia. Millionaire businessman Willie Wilson was running third with 10.5 percent, followed by Ald. Bob Fioretti (2nd) with 7.4 percent and William “Dock” Walls with 2.7 percent.
All the media in the bag, a $30 million campaign chest, businesses and unions behind him...and they couldn't deliver him an election. They couldn't overcome one simple fact - Rahm is an asshole. His whole demeanor screams, "I'm an asshole!" And people don't like assholes.
Of course, now he's running against a commie prick with all sorts of gang ties. Should be fun.

A sad day for Chicago. But in the end the best man will still win. Rahm is that man.
What will FLoP do now? What do we do? Asshole for another 4 years or a gangbanger who marches with protestors? We are doomed.
That reminds me of that comedian Dennis Leary's song, "I'm An Asshole".
You said it best
Here is my analysis on some races.
- Rahm wins, but he was sent a message. A large group of African-American voters will vote for Rahm unless Karen Lewis is able to secure their votes. The whole election is may swing, if this happens.
- 11th Ward is the most interesting race of the night. Thompson will win narrowly.
- 31st Ward - Suarez is a L.
- 33rd Ward - Mell is an L. The machine is gone. Many of Dick Mell's Capts have defected.
- 41st Ward - Mary O'Connor is a L. Naptilano is the winner in a run off, contingent he gets Lomanto on board!
- 45th Ward - John Garrido is a winner, unless unions pour a TON of monies against him into the race, which may happen.
These are my guesses sports fans. No over and under figures were given.
Not really a good choice left, BUT - why reward a jerk with a re-election? If he loses, he is OUT of the picture.
His quest to run for US Senator - or President, stopped.
You can always vote out Chuy in the next election. NO ONE should be re-elected who turns out bad or is incompetent.
Everyone was so afraid Rauner would win. If he doesn't work out - vote him out.
It is very simple.
Box Chevy Phantom for mayor!
Can you say Garry Mccarthy I s toast? Anybody associated with him or his people are done. Sgt K.C. from 24 who is now head of research and development? Should have kept that star dummy. All you other pukes. It will be nice seeing you at roll again.
19th Ward voted 41% for Rahm...that seems way to high with all those city workers??
So we did our part and put Rhambo in a runoff. Now lets get back to reality, Chuy is a moron. I have to live in this city for at least another 10 years and some guy named Chuy isn't the answer.
Clerk Mendoza is the next Mayor after this election. Bank on it!
OT: Hey SCC did you see this? Can't wait for our body cameras.

This is the first run-off election in Chicago history, according to Channel 2 News... You MUST be right; Rahm IS an asshole.
THANK GOD! Rahm is a huge danger to our pension with his backdoor poilitical deals. If he would do what is right he would get many more votes, but he will only make himself and his friends rich. It's shamefull that the police and fireman have to worry about their retirment after putting in over 9% of their yearly salary to a fund that was "guaranteed." Vote Garcia to save our future!
GOOD BYE RAHM , Id vote for Donald Duck just to get the Asshole out of there.lol
"Asshole vs Commie Prick" - The Chicago Way
Now we have a chance to dump Rahm and McCompstat at the same time. Vote April 7th!
How did our fellow officers running do? Most did not get an endorsement from our unions.
The machine can be beaten. The machine that has had a stranglehold on this city for decades. The machine that hasn't paid the pension obligations and put this city in the whole. The machine that has coddled criminals, stolen your tax dollars and enriched the relatives of the Daleys. The machine that is selling your lakefront park property to their millionaire friends.
Chuy may not be my candidate, but the City Counsel can keep him in check for four years until a real, honest Scott Walkler type comes up. Vote for Chuy. That will break the grip. Get rid of this unlikeable mongrel and his machine.
Millionaire Rahm declared war on retirees and cut healthcare.
I want him fired. I will vote for Chuy.
YES!!! Also 11th Ward in a run off. People are tired of these guys!
I can't stop dancing.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
This piece of garbage from Wilmette blew in here telling people they "need to learn to bleed" and that he was "gonna stick it in people's ears".
Fuck him. He is an asshole.
Go Chuy!
History was made in several ways: 1. The Newspapers, as I said last week carry zero weight! The era of cutting the section of the newspaper with the recommendations out and taking it to the polling place is over, gone; the papers speak for nobody under 65. 2. The power of the door knocker became more visible than ever. The Knuckle Draggers who were the City Workers and their kids were not out there ringing door bells and making promises. Those City workers, working for Tomsak and other Hacks are the guys who got Rahm into Congress in the 5th Cong. District; they were gone and Rahm lost. 3. Rahm is such an Ass and Narcissist that he performed a miracle: HE GOT JEWS TO VOTE FOR JESUS! 4. Obama's credibility was shown for what it was; WORTHLESS! The President of the United States could not turn a local election, that is amazing. 5.The power of the Latino electorate is about to be felt. Now we will see young Latinos mobilized, energized and inspired by a candidate who looks like their father, uncle or brother. The Chuy style is not the Lil Louie obnoxious bully bullshit, Chuy sounds reasonable and is a Neighborhood Communist. The next few weeks will be interesting and historic."G"
I'll make this very clear. I didn't vote for Rahm yesterday. I will be voting for him in 6 weeks. Chuy was and still the worst of the candidates. He is worse than Deblasio in New York. Be careful what you wish for. Sometimes you might just get it.
Doesn't this result fly in the face of hand-wringers who insist money is the only determining factor influencing elections? Keep hammering the Kochs and trying to restrict free speech, you turds.
Rahm surrounds himself with pip squeak Gutierrez and Bobby"should have had your hoodie on " Rush at the plumbers hall party last night. Rahm with his shitcago values needs to get his wedding dress and his contact card crime is down puppet and leave this dangerous city he screwed up and created
watch DeaNo try to Endorse Rham Now Against the wishes of POs
Of those running, it is plainly obvious that Rahm is the best man for the job. Will he have to come to the rescue of the democrat party next year?
Rhams Political Career will be flushed if Defeated in April
Don't let a Good Crises go to Waste Time to send Rhama packing back to DC
Vote Chuy!!
Thank you Jesus
I predict Rahm loses. People absolutely hate this guy. I can't count the number of citizens who have told me they hate this clown.
COPS Vote Cops Matter
Cops doing more with Less
Bye Bye Scotch Breath
Bye BYe 10.5 Hour Days

Just think, an illegal alien like Chuy as mayor.
Well, now we may get Garcia,
who's a communist. Winning!
I swallowed my pride and voted for a communist asshole to get the asshole in charge out. Next election we'll vote to get the commie asshole out.
We do this until we can get decent people to run. Maybe even a Republican for a change. Not a Rauner Republican, but a real one.
I'm certainly glad that Rahm was made to look like the asshole that he is. But let's face it - we have to support him. Chuy and his thug kid are not what this city (or police department) can afford to have around.
Of course, should Rahm lose it all his political career would be over...
Uh oh! I was hoping that would not be something this city has to worry about...any "gang ties" to Garcia. Chicago already has enough gang/cartel issues.

Nope. Didn't vote. I'm officially retiring in 45 days and I can care less about this city. My house has been on the market for past 11 months. Thank God for Section 8. Guarantee money. I have no ties to this shithole city thank God. I'm 55 and I'm not turning back. If anyone knows any dumb recruits that need a house tell them I'm practically giving my house away. 105th/Drake. 11 months is too long on market. At least I will get me some government money before the house gets destroyed. My advice to all. Retire Early, don't have kids, don't have any ties to this city. KMA Shitgago!! Adios!!!
The 19 th ward was labeled an anti Rahm ward. Yet 4 in 10 people voted for him. Cops, firemen , and teachers. O well now it will be a choice between a shit sandwich and a sandwich made with shit.
As a retired CPD living out of state, I congratulate all Chicagoans who saw through his bullshit and voted against this Piece Of Shit!
Keep the train rolling guys, and someone find out what Garcia's plan for the pension is.
Community involvement is antithetical to Chicago Democratic Machine politics.
Surprised that Daley with his 'medical hardship' didn't stick his octopus hands into the race and cough off some rigged votes.
As usual, not much in the way of good choices for mayor. No one of any value ever ran against Daley and he did not debate. What choice did people have? Now, even though Rahm is not well liked he is, for now, the best choice to keep this city from bankruptcy . If Chicago, which is billions in debt, goes bankrupt, there goes the pensions. The CPD pension is in worst shape then Detroits. The mayor is limited by law on how much he can raise property tax and he cannot raise it enough to save the pension funds of the police, fire and teachers. Garcia for mayor? be careful of what you wish for.Hopefully rahm will win and in another four years someone of substance will come along and I don't mean Karen Lewis
hahahahah rahm ur full of shit ur days are numbered
anyone but the current tyrant
(OT) new contract finally up!
http://directives.chicagopolice.org/contracts/FOP_Contract.pdf
Just posted about new contract how can you publish this with misspellings? Just started looking blatantly cannot spell who did this? Did you use spell check?
Example:
Article 13
Article 14 in the index pathetic this can be read by anyone what do you think?
I just love how they dress up Rahm as "tough", "can do", "not warm and fuzzy". No Mr. Emannuel. You are an ASSHOLE. A person who has no class and no tact. For that reason alone, I want you to lose.
Cmon SCC give the guy his kudos! Personally liked Fioretti better but hey it is what it is. His kid is the ignorant gang bangn piece of shit not him. What father wouldn't help his son even given that hes a shitbird. At this point he seems to be the lesser evil! Im voting Chewbacca all the waaay!!!!!
Roger L Washington got 137 votes. Too fucking funny. This guy is a police officer and four years ago he ran for alderman and on youtube he said "I stood up to racist white officers". Then quickly he took those videos down. I am glad he lost.
To all of my police friends who will trip over themselves to vote for a fellow officer: John Garrido or Chris Talifero. 1. First ask if they will sign on paper that they will make funding our pension a priority. 2. They will not vote for any piece of legislation that diminishes our pension or health care. If they are not willing then they don't deserve your vote. Police or not police. Also Garrido has to explain himself; why was he a Republican and then he flipped and became a Democrat?
Ohhhh, did that hurt?
2/25/2015 08:02:00 AM
If Rahm wins then he is mayor for life. Plus he will have complete and total control of the city council. That is more dangerous. We just experienced that with Mayor Daley. At least with Garcia he will be opposed by a city council that will stand up to him.
Rahm won the 19th and 41st wards. Everything aside guys and girls have to use common sense on here and realize that Rahm is a way better option than Chuy. People talk so much shit about the guy but cant ever give real reasons why hes so bad. Nobody is perfect and you cant agree with somebody on everything. Side note I had to stare a Garrido's face for the last 6 months with all the billboards and signs he has up. The guy couldn't get a win. How many elections has he lost. Just joking boss and good luck.
Off topic, here is a link that will hopefully raise your spirits in this age of anti-police sentiment in this country.

Wouldn't you know it, there was a call at the Swissotel last night for a disturbance. Seems Willie Wilson had his election night party there where his campaign brought in about two dozen urban youths to help hand out flyers, set up and be gofers. They worked from 7am to 10pm with a promise of some cash money in their pocket. But you guessed it, wii Willie and his campaign staff snuck out while nobody was lookin and stiffed his own peeps. Left them there with no rides to the south side and not a penny in their saggy jeans. Needless to say they were pissed! Guess Willie's illegitimate kid was right on the mark when he said his father was a deadbeat.
get rid of rham and then in 4 years get rid of chuy. the city will be fine.
Watch ....
McCarthy resigns...Rahm names Grau to the CPD as Supt to get the Spanish vote against Chuy ....

I lived through other one term mayors and we were neve hurt by them. In fact Jane Byrne was the best thing that ever happened to us.
I'd let some ghette gouster run the city before having rahm for another four years.

Another voice of reason!
Toss rahm, the dangerous little prick to the rubbish heap.
Rahm will probably win, But between 51-55% of the vote or so.
Thompson will probably win with no more than 55% of the vote. Though Kozlar seems like he has pipe dreams, He may lose in the end. Especially if there's shades of Anna Goral.
HE GOT JEWS TO VOTE FOR JESUS!
That's actually pretty funny. I forgot that Chuy's name is Jesus.
For the idiot that said he didn't vote your an asshole. I'm not for Chuy but against Rahm so you no who gets my vote. He'll be gone in 4 too. We can't stand by and watch the little prick ruin us farther. Both suck but I'll pick Chuy over Rahm any day. Hell no Rahm has gotta go

Please think that one through again.
No fan of Chuy here but consider that he he can be a one term play mayor and get bocked at every turn. We know that rahm is a true threat and we certainly don't want him running the show for another four years.
Hell, if we can live through Sawyer and Bilandic, we can stoache Chuy for one term. I left Harold out of that equation because he left me with a quote taht I still use.
When asked about his health, he said "evrything hurts but everything works". LOL
Ok so if you look at the map strong north side support, yet our police resources are being moved away. I am guessing our votes will be taken for granted, but boy would I love to force a commitment to increase police officers on north side in return for north side votes. Try leaving your garage open one night, will be picked clean the next day. don't take us for granted Rahm, protect your base!!!!

Wrong! The city is at this point compelled by State Court Order to cough up the 550 M in 2016. We have that money available through TIF and other funds as well. And, no, we are not Detroit. And, State Law in Il. currently prevents us from declaring bankrptcy. rahm has the posssible power now to fuck with us where as Chuy is kind of clueless in that regard. Better the one term ineffective pony show than teh devil we know.

If you lose the 19th ward to Sadlowski-Garza another CTU candidate there goes another pro Police voice
Wow scc, you are the one blog writer for this thread that has a bad tone. You can tell different people write different threads. You love that Rahm is in a run off, then you blast chuy for being a gang loving commie? Grow up a little, support Rahm or don't. You have the right to send mixed messages, it is your blog, but figure out where you stand and remember to not shit where you eat! I would vote for chuy 100 times before Rahm ever again. I'll take a communist over a little prick who has done nothing for police. Chuy said he will " hire" 1000 more police, not just "put more on the street"
I am noticing lot of pro-Rahm trolls on this blog since last night. Anybody else?

I read he had permanent resident status back in the 70's. I don't know if he ever became a US citizen. He has been elected to several offices, alderman, state senate, Cook County Commissioner. The choice is not between Rahm and Rudy Guiliani; it is between Rahm and Chuy.
Take your pick.
Everyone was saying "anybody but Rahm." Well, this is guy is the "anybody."

Here is my analysis on some races.
- Rahm wins, but he was sent a message. A large group of African-American voters will vote for Rahm unless Karen Lewis is able to secure their votes. The whole election is may swing, if this happens.
- 11th Ward is the most interesting race of the night. Thompson will win narrowly.
- 31st Ward - Suarez is a L.
- 33rd Ward - Mell is an L. The machine is gone. Many of Dick Mell's Capts have defected.
- 41st Ward - Mary O'Connor is a L. Naptilano is the winner in a run off, contingent he gets Lomanto on board!
- 45th Ward - John Garrido is a winner, unless unions pour a TON of monies against him into the race, which may happen.
These are my guesses sports fans. No over and under figures were given.

I'm glad I didn't lay any money on those picks.
I want to see what 10g would do, hey 10g, where is your money going in the runoff? Or are you laying back on this one?
Garrido is in a runoff in the 45th ward. We need to vote for him. We're going to need as much help as possible in the city council.
Pick your poison
Hope Rahm loses.....he's a dick...
Think Rahmis about as good as we get.
I support you guys in police and Chicago police and fire unions, but Chicago teachers unions are the worst. All the talk about restoring the Harold Washington progressive co- alition to me sounds like throwing Chicago back to the worst days - 900 plus murders a year, Chicago Public Schools the worst in the nation, with Communist Bill Ayers and a Liberation theology hate Whitey Catholic Priests like Pfleger presented as the only options of "reform"

History was made but future tactics are in place,I was called by representatives of my ward and asked if I liked a certain alder person,I was a little shocked but polite and they can call u asking if you like a candidate,also looking like a candidate and feeling warm and fuzzy about a candidate is personal,how did people feel and what group felt it when The Daleys were in charge,I really don't care what a guy looks like or background ethnically if he or she has got the goods!
Hey guys...
Stop playing gang crimes specialist BS in your head when it comes to voting.
Rahm wants to fuck you out of your pension, figure it out. His pinstripe wearing criminal friends want your money.
You have to vote for Chuy! Save your pension.
If you want to play Johnny Law, you should be the police in a red state.
Rahm's problem was that this polished commercials featured nobodies proclaiming was a great leader he is. For round 2's batch of slicked edited propaganda, it'll feature the big gunners and several of the Hollywood puppets of his brother (Robert Redford, Jeremy Piven) spewing visionary nonsense on Emanuel's love of this city. Rahm - take your suitcase, leave the wedding dress.
A 30 million dollar asshole just got kicked in the teeth. Never thought I would see the day that all that super PAC money would be washed away by the remnants of the old Chicago machine.
The machine is alive but not for Rahm and his cronies. The sooner we get the Napoleon prick out of here the better off we will be. Take your 1 percent PAC money with you and let the door hit in the ass on the way out.
Rham made this a sanctuary city, now he got bit in the ass. Chewy will dump McGoofy! Even calling in the almighty BO to rescue him didn't help. Oh, he's not liked either.
If Chewy gets the people who backed him to vote again, teachers, police, fire, spanish, regular people and Willie Wilson backs Chewy, RHAM IS TOAST. His big financial supporters who don't live here and don't vote here can't help.
The machine is out. Maybe the state, city and county can become a better place to live.
Now we have to get Madagan and Cullerton out to make Illinois and Shitcago a better place to live.
Washington is next for change.
DUMP HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, Even Burke the most powerful Alderman couldn't carry his beloved 14th Ward for Rahm, granted it is mostly Hispanic but his workers should have been able to sway votes towards Rahm, but maybe he doesn't want Rahm in , This Garcia guy was pretty on his money with his speech last night but looked liked a total loser during the debates, I suggest that he gets people that can deliver the facts on the condition of the city finances and other issues, otherwise he will once again look like a Buffo. I really am glad the Rahm got his balls squeezed a little, his pal Obama couldn't even sway the Black vote for Rahm.
Still RAHM supporters?
people actually think corporate types care about the police?
Hired Mr wonderful Gary from NY?
Closed multiple AREAs (what up with that detective club that throws xmas parties???)
Closed multiple districts.
Screwed everyone out of retro cash just for spite.
Chuy still lives in 1o district!?!
Let us see who the FOP endorses then we can all know who was bought out.
Wonder how much losing cost 9.5 and his sycophants ? At least this time the loss came out of their pockets
Seems to me people are pretty much divided in Chicago..Best response was the one with 5 history making events and #3 was the BEST.. still can't quit laughing..
That aside Daley stayed in office for years because 2 many were SCARED of what would happen IF he wasn't.. some of you would rather EAT SHIT.. than take a chance.. doing the same things over and over is a sign of INSANITY.. Mind you this came to U because of the SANCTUARY STATUS of CHICAGO.. from allowing neighborhoods to become a safe place for Illegals to set up office.. and DON'T kid yourself the illegals VOTE.. RAHM and the rest of the PROGRESSIVES should reconsider the ID for voting..next time you have a politician decide who should be given a free bee on following the law.. VOTE them out.. don't worry about the next ASSHOLE coming in get rid of the ASSHOLE that's there.. My guess CHUY gets it.. Chicago has more Hispanic's .. MORE Hispanic organizers THAN either WHITE or BLACK.. Blacks should take notice how the PROGRESSIVES have thrown them under the bus for the HISPANIC vote..
Very soon the police/fire pension will be resolved, and when I say very soon, like in the next 4 weeks. Bet on it ...
Um 1 of 47?? please tell me you aren't a city worker!
Rahm is running scared. Chuy is our answer for at least the next 4 years. How much worse could it be.
The hell with Rahm. Id vote for Mary Mitchell over Rahm.
First off, I am no fan of Rahm. I am a realist tho and believe that this city does need a strong leader. We do not want this city headed the ways of Detroit and I'm not so sure that if one of these other guys get in there that it wouldn't. You can't just give everything away and make everyone happy. You have to live within your means. I think if rahm would take major steps to shore up our pensions I would be totally fine with him being mayor for a long time. That's my big beef with him. Other than that, I don't think he's doing a terrible job. I applaud him for shutting all those school that were severely under attended. That took balls. Anyway, just my thoughts.
I want rahm gone. New mayor = new police superintendent. In 4 years we can send Chuy packing.
Here's the reality of both candidates. Rahm was never a Chicagoan and is merely using the city, which is us as for furthering HiS political career while he will leave this city in a wake of destruction . He's very liberal , a socialist in fact. Now Chuy is a Chicagoan, and a real machine guy. He may be a communist but he said he would hire 1,000 new coppers which will help our pension not to mention our working conditions. Rahm will has never and will never listen to anyone, HE knows all. I think Chuy will listen to people he puts around him, hopefully. We know with Rahm we have no voice, no interest in saving the pension, and he literally hates us with a passion. As far as gang ties with Chuy goes most if not all these west and south side alderman are hooked up,with the gangs and Daley was in bed with the outfit. I'm not justifying it just pointing out the reality of it. Overall it's not the best situation but who will harm us least and do something to,save our pension mess. Rahm wants to eliminate another 2,000 police officer positions with th 10.5 hr work day and he has Deano fully backing him on this. Chuy says he will hire 1,000 coppers which will boost the pension, for coppers it's clear, Chuy now, and let's see what happens in 4yrs. Also Macarthy is toast along with his lying carnival known as Compstat.

I predict Rahm loses. People absolutely hate this guy. I can't count the number of citizens who have told me they hate this clown.
2/25/2015 06:38:00 AM
I predict you are wrong. Evidently you didn't talk to the 208,000 that voted for him.
Here is my analysis on some races.
- Rahm wins, but he was sent a message. A large group of African-American voters will vote for Rahm unless Karen Lewis is able to secure their votes. The whole election is may swing, if this happens.
- 11th Ward is the most interesting race of the night. Thompson will win narrowly.
- 31st Ward - Suarez is a L.
- 33rd Ward - Mell is an L. The machine is gone. Many of Dick Mell's Capts have defected.
- 41st Ward - Mary O'Connor is a L. Naptilano is the winner in a run off, contingent he gets Lomanto on board!
- 45th Ward - John Garrido is a winner, unless unions pour a TON of monies against him into the race, which may happen.
These are my guesses sports fans. No over and under figures were given.
Hey big time loser. I love your analysis. Classic. If it wasn't for Thompson in the 11th Ward you would have had a perfect record. Wrong on every race, thats hard to do.
Tom Dart reached to skinny Sheahan and Joyce three months ago to get the donors to back his 2016 Mayor run. Joyce and Sheahan both told him to fuck off and now they are backing Garcia. The 19th ward is in shambles. What happened to the rise of Tom Dart. If he played his cards right he would be Mayor.
Just tell chuy to lift residency and he will get more votes
19th ward are fucked up who could vote for four fingers and work for the city !
South Park nailed it in season 8
"But Stan, don't you know, it's always between a giant douche and a turd sandwich. Nearly every election since the beginning of time has been between some douche and some turd. They're the only people who suck up enough to make it that far in politics."
Yup. Always, a giant douche and a turd sandwich.
Tom Dart could of had the political dream team of advisers of Pickle Joyce, Skinny Sheehan, and Ed Burke. Instead he chose political amateurs Helen Burke, Cara Smith, and Dana Wright who have abut the same experience is politics as they do in law enforcement/NONE. Tom Dart's third term will be a disaster and he will forgotten like a fart in the wind.. Sorry Tom you blew it! Your arrogance was your downfall..
Dumping Rahm and Hillary's last chance is over too...and toss out O'Connor (D-41) for good measure.

Everyone seems shocked that the 19th ward voted heavily for rahm. Want to know why?? His rubber stamp alderman matthew oshea endorsed rahm.
Why wasn't a binding VRI referendum on the ballot?
I'll cast a vote for Rahm Emanuel on April 7th if:
* he immediately discloses the exact amount in the TIF accounts and has that information open for inspection from this point forward. Any manipulation of those figures at any time shall be punishable by imprisonment - retroactive accounting fuckery included.
* portions of that TIF cash is immediately used to make the overdue payment to our pension fund as has been mandated by law. Annual payments will also be deducted from these accounts until our pension funding achieves a minimum of 90%.
Looks like "Chewy" will be getting the four votes in my house.
Hey SCC how about a thread on possible bosses to be the next superintendent?If Rahm loses I think McCarthy is out.Sick and tired of the NYPD way this ain't New York and these recruits have to be retrained after foot patrol because they don't learn shit.They are lazy and loudmouths.The frat boy recruit van is a joke atleast during the jump out boys they made pinches and learned to do paper.
johhny garrido for mayor.
"Nope. Didn't vote. I'm officially retiring in 45 days and I can care less about this city. My house has been on the market for past 11 months. Thank God for Section 8. Guarantee money. I have no ties to this shithole city thank God. I'm 55 and I'm not turning back. If anyone knows any dumb recruits that need a house tell them I'm practically giving my house away. 105th/Drake. 11 months is too long on market".
Obviously you're asking too much for your house. List it for a reasonable price (not what you think you should be getting for it) and it will sell
Ring-Ring!
"Sorry, Rahm can't come to the phone...
He's rolling around on the floor snarling, shitting and
biting himself like a gut-shot hyena."
Who is he gonna retaliate against for this "setback?"
Heh!
Is it possible we finally have a REAL election of sorts?
Hey Rahm!
No more walking away from the mic when somebody asks a hard and pointy question!
"now it will be a choice between a shit sandwich and a sandwich made with shit".
Well put. I will vote in April only to prove to my alderman that I voted (in case I need a favor), but I will spoil my ballot by voting for both candidates.
Rahm's National image is toast. He can never show his face in an election outside Chicago. Who would back a loser who made history as the first Chicago mayor forced into a runoff. He IS that unlikable.
That being said, we had better make sure he loses in April or we are stuck with this arrogant turd forever.
Chuy may not be my first choice, but he is the best chance to get rid of Rahm. Rahm has told us we are not getting our pension. Chuy will be minimized by the City Counsel. Let him have his term. Who knows, maybe the Republicans can resurface in those four years.
I'd vote for Daley to get rid of Rahm.
Go Chuy !!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad 41st O'Connor is on the ropes.
One of Rahm's rubber stamp votes.
Has never spoken out on our behalf regarding the theft of our pension.
Never pushed for additional funding for pensions during last four year term in a ward loaded with Police, Fire, Teachers, and other City workers.
Never objected to massive cuts in healthcare payments for retired workers.
Didn't object when Rahm stated that he wanted to get out of the healthcare business.
Any idiot can get you a garbage can or trim your tree.
'Statistically' Chuy needs 90% of all the other (non-Rham) votes combined to beat Rham in April. (All the other candidates combined)
This does NOT take into account those (app. 60%) people who did not vote this time around.
Bottom Line, Get out the vote and get out TO vote... No more Rham!
You're right SCC all the money in the war chest, fancy endorsements, O'Bama schilling for him.... that all doesn't change the fact that Rahm is a major league asshole who's out to fuck our pensions anyway he can.
You can't change a zebras stripes and his stripes are his biggest downfall now.
I'm not a huge Chuy fan but I'd love to see the carpet bagger Rahm given his walking papers in April
Which protestors did Chuy march with??
Ground Hog day....Rham saw his shadow,which was behind him the mayor of Chicago past,now 6 more weeks til Dooms Day!
Any Cop that votes for Rham needs to get their head checked!
In December, Chuy Garcia was protesting against the police. In 2007, his son was charged with attacking 2 police officers. The firm that gave his son pro bono representation was subsequently awarded County contracts. Know the person for whom you are voting.
Southside Cops for Chuy!
A vote for Rahm is vote to eliminate your pension and retirees HE will go after your pensions.
A vote for Rahm is a vote against more police.
Labeling Chuy a communist is false. Most people and definitely most coppers I know have no idea about communism. He is not a communist.
Also, I know many who have a past that includes fathers, mothers,brothers, sisters, sons,daughters, relatives that is not indicative of who they are as an individual.
Vote Chuy!
The 2007 felony attack against the police officers and the subsequent contracts to Mayer Brown were covered by dnainfo. The December 7th Old Water Tower protest was covered by NBC.
Nope. Didn't vote. I'm officially retiring in 45 days and I can care less about this city. My house has been on the market for past 11 months. Thank God for Section 8. Guarantee money. I have no ties to this shithole city thank God. I'm 55 and I'm not turning back. If anyone knows any dumb recruits that need a house tell them I'm practically giving my house away. 105th/Drake. 11 months is too long on market. At least I will get me some government money before the house gets destroyed. My advice to all. Retire Early, don't have kids, don't have any ties to this city. KMA Shitgago!! Adios!!!
Sorry to say this but you sound like a real ass.
...........Hopefully rahm will win and in another four years someone of substance will come along and I don't mean Karen Lewis
2/25/2015 08:02:00 AM
Rahm wins and he is in for life, just like Daley. He is wounded. Put him down while we can. If he gets more powerful we will never be rid of him.
"Politicians are like diapers. They all stink and need changing often."
And who changed or sought to change or forced the change to the current system of no primary and an open election with a majority plus one required? None other than the son of the master vote fixer, the chief corruptor, Richard M Daley. And this system has screwed them on more than one occasion since and I am hoping it screws Rahm this time.
As usual, not much in the way of good choices for mayor.
And that goes for Governor, and for President too. We have these candidates foisted upon us by the uni-party, it is all part of the plan. They don't want candidates the likes of Reagan, can't control that type. Instead we get a McCain or a Romney or a Rauner. The two party system is a mirage.
Looks like his sanctuary city illegals are gonna put him out of a job. That is unless they can fix the runoff like they did the last two presidential elections. Hoisted with his own petard.
Look who won in the Wards with majority city workers = Rahm.
WTF is wrong with these people?
If Rahm wins in the runoff election, things will get dramatically worse in this city.
He does not care about this city or its citizens. All he cares about is making his big business pals happy.
And, Chicagoans should be ashamed about the turnout.

This should read "Commie Asshole vs Commie prick" since when is anyone who is in lockstep with Hilary and Barry not considered a communist.
Rahm was born an asshole. He's then worked at it all of his life so now he's an assholes asshole.
Too bad for Rahm even the Sheeple are starting to see him for the asshole that he is.
Lois Scott, the CFO for the city, gave an interview to the Chicago Policy Review, in which she stated that, " It's not that we can't fund the pensions, it's that we choose not to. " The city is neither broke nor bankrupt. Rahm, has to go. It's payback time.
I love this blog!
Hmmmm...
Bullshit the Fibune hid behind their paywall...
"Level With Us Mayor Emanuel"
"Why Rahm Emanuel Might Lose"
A bunch of ass-kissery by the editorial staff
since they're among the moneyed interest
who were hoping fervently that Rahm would
pull a rabid weasel out of his hat with a simple
majority plus one to seal the deal.
Rahm did not.
Now these nasty North Shore/Gold Coast classists
are harrumphing, tut-tutting and eye-rolling behind
their pince-nez about how the peed-on peons, the surviving formerly robust middle class rabble and
the first responder churls might exercise their
discernment and vote for the other guy in the
upcoming run-off.
>Mental image of the prophets of Baal naked, chanting, crying, flinging shit at the sun, dancing feverishly, copulating and desperately cutting the shit out of themselves and each other to hasten his coming<
The upright man looks on in disgust and measures his distance to avoid being hit by the fire from the sky that's sure to come...
"WAAAAAHHHH! We're smarter than you! Why won't you do what we say?"
Hey Fibune!
You m/fers are foul...
What did Rahm promise you for relentlessly running
his propaganda?
So glad I moved out of the city last Aug.
Can't wait for White Flight 2.0 to start if "Mare Chuy" gets elected.
Progressive Dems in Chicago can't wait to line up for their "gibsmedats" and "mo money for dem programs".
The old Daley machine is going to be giving marching orders to deliver Rahn the election. Rahm being mayor is part of the Nora Daley's succession plan. The plan all along was Rahm will be out of the mayor's seat before or after next term to move on to bigger and better things that his money can buy. Like Durbin's or Kirk's senate seat. I don't think Hillary will want him as a running mate since he can't even carry the Chicago mayoral election and has been so eloquently pointed out, he is an assshole.
If "Chewey" gets in as mayor, the odds that Nora Daley gets in next term plummets like a rock. The Hispanics will not let that seat go to a non-Hispanic. Rahm is scared of the consequences to both his reputation and political consequences if he can't win in a run off.
His political aspirations will vanish into thin air as will his political backing. Said in Chicago dialect "He ain't no lawyer so he ain't getting no judgeship like Bilandic."
I'm surprised the Fireman endorsement didn't clinch this....
If you guys Vote for Rham after he promised to fuck you then I have no words for you. You deserve what you get then.
Commie prick or Rahm... Hmmm, give me the commie prick.
If anyone remembers an old time comedian, Jack Benny, he is notoriously cheap. He does a bit where he is confronted by a stickup guy who says, "Your money or your life" After a minute he asks again, Jack Benny's response is, "I'm thinking it over."
So come on commie prick.
With Rahm he has demonstrated that he will screw us.....he already did screw the retirees with health insurance. He "saved" the city $27 million by screwing retirees.
If a turd jumped out of my toilet and got itself enough signatures to get on the ballot, I would vote for said Turd before I ever vote for our current Asshole-in-Charge. Chuy can't screw it up in one term any more than Rahm "Fuck ALL Y'all" Emanuel has.
I agrree with earlier posters, Chuy.
The city council will keep him in check.
Get rahmout!!
Garrido is in a runoff in the 45th ward. We need to vote for him. We're going to need as much help as possible in the city council.

That IS amazing, particularly since Obama has a 70% approval rating in Chicago!
People know an asshole when they see one, regardless of who backs him. 55% of the voters voted AGAINST Emanuel.
If Garcia wins, He's another one-term wonder..........
2/25/2015 10:43:00 AM
Rather have one term of Garcia than two of Rahm
2. The power of the door knocker became more visible than ever. The Knuckle Draggers who were the City Workers and their kids were not out there ringing door bells and making promises.
Emanuel did have pollsters out, asking if you'd vote for him, and if not, why not.
I told the guy that my biggest problem with Emanuel was the danger he presents to city pensions, and explained our position.
The guy replies, "So, pensions," checks a box on his form and goes on his way.
Trouble with that is, "pensions" is way too vague, and could mean anything from shore them up properly, to "reform", to eliminating them completely. Emanuel could conceivably say, "I took polls and this is what the people want", and do whatever it is he wants to do, "for the children".
Once again, we're left voting for the evil of two lessers.
3. Rahm is such an Ass and Narcissist that he performed a miracle: HE GOT JEWS TO VOTE FOR JESUS!
ROTFLMAO!!!
A runoff?
Poor Mc Carthy didn't see his shadow - 6 more weeks of hiding from the media!

Asolutely true!
That's why you shouldn,t drop the city plan,, even though the city insurance plan costs as much other plans out there, it can be reversed either through court or another mayor.
Once you drop it, you cannot get back into the program.
HEY, Chuy, did you hear that? You can use it as one of your platforms to persuade even more cops to vote for you.
I understand the hatred toward Rahm, but do you folks really want Chuy to win? You think a guy who raised a piece of shit son who attacks cops is going to be an ally? You think his strategy of just running us further into debt bodes well for the future of pensions? Rahm sucks but Chuy sucks way more.
For the idiot that said he didn't vote your an asshole. I'm not for Chuy but against Rahm
Another Illinois election-we're voting AGAINST someone rather than voting FOR someone.
Our lack of decent candidates is sad, but the result of years of machine politics.

I know this was posted in jest, but it's important.
You can only have three referendums on the ballot. They load it up with nonsense to prevent important things from being voted on; things like term limits, the Chicago residency requirement, etc.
Illinois Politicians. They know what's best for you.
Hey SCC how about a thread on possible bosses to be the next superintendent?
Do we really want to discuss this?
Most of the decent bosses left under Weis. The rest under Mc Carthy.
The remaining ones probably don't want the job.
The next supe, if taken from inside the department, is liable to be terrible.
My two big issues with Rahm:
Trying to balance the budget on the backs of those who can barely pay (red light, speed cameras) and saying it's for the children...you could have said they're for the mourners at Graceland attempting to cross. Or Challenger "Bark" as the sign reads. Grown (yuppie) adults. Not children. You insult my admittedly modest intelligence as a voter and taxpayer. Asshole.
Second, taking that money and giving it to Depaul? The same one funded by the Catholic Church? Fuck them. Or some dumbass downtown beautification project. Fuck downtown and most certainly FUCK YOU. You let real Chicagoans down.
I'm voting for Garcia (again). If you value your pension, vote for Garcia. That is the bottom line.

Surprised that Daley with his 'medical hardship' didn't stick his octopus hands into the race and cough off some rigged votes.
To busy with all his Russian business associates. Hope the Feds are watching.
One term mayor's are best for Chicago. That is why I voted for Garcia and will vote for him again. It is our chance to get even with that fucked from the burbs Rahm. And fuck that annoying bitch from the burbs Mendoza.
