“Are the perverts taking over the country?”

No, but they’re taking over the large cities.

I moved out of Chicago in 1970, and it was one of the best moves I ever made.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Things have gone too far I think.

[dfwgator]

We are starting to resemble Weimar Germany, where people are losing interest in government, and don’t even want to bother to vote, much less ever run for office.

You know how this movie ends up turning out.

For anyone who wants to get an idea of who Preckwinkle is, or how corrupt Cook County is, check out David Garrow's biography of Barack Obama, Rising Star.

You mean your sole existence isn’t focused on your sexuality?

[PGR88]

Two black female leftists, but one of them had extra lesbian diversity points.

[Kazan]

And, she’s a lesbian, too?! She’d be perfect human being if she’d now convert to Islam.

If any normal people still live in Chicago you need to get out fast.

[Licensed-To-Carry]

Sorry I should have said if any Deplorables still live in Chicago you need to get out fast.

[from occupied ga]

A threefer!! Wow intersectionality at its finest. This no doubt makes her more qualified than a mere twofer. Now if she were only a Muslim.

And cede even more territory to the Left? That's the whole problem in the first place. Conservatives turn and run instead of standing their ground and fight. It's just too easy to flee someone else.

But the day is fast approaching where there won't be anywhere to flee to.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Yep. Low turnout and lousy candidateS are not a good mix. There were actually some interesting candidates among the fourteen in the primary. About 10% of the total voters supported the two that went to the runoff.

[Truthoverpower]

No you cannot
You think you could never get worse and then......
Bammo!

[dfwgator]

Can’t vote for someone who doesn’t want the job.

And what rational person, would even want to get involved with that zoo. And therein lies the rub.

[dfwgator]

She’s going to make even Harold Washington look good.

[luvie]

Well, whoopteedo....who is supposed to care about their mayor’s sex life. If I lived there, I’d be more interested in how she’ll clean up that cesspool.

[luvie]

And low turnout [plus apathy] is how Occasional Cortex got elected in the Bronx.

And it's not as if her opposition was much better. Conservatives don't even bother to get involved in the cities, they know it's not worth their time and trouble. But it's going to have to change. I hoped Trump would have been the spark, maybe it still can be.
