I didn’t think the Democrat party allowed such people in their party.
No such animal exist as a “Pro-Life, Pro Cop” demonrat.
Is this Paul Vallas a DINO or is this just a campaign ad disguised as political commentary?
BeetleJuice ain’t goin’ nowhere till its Big Daddy has a suitable demonic replacment.
As long as the weekly kill count stays up, the BeetleJuice is safe. /s
“Could Chicago be about to elect a pro-life, pro-cop Democratic mayor?”
It depends on who is counting the votes.
Nope, not gonna happen.
I wasn't aware he was "against" it in the first place. If he had been REMOTELY "pro-life" in any of his past campaigns (going back to 2002 when he ran against Blago and Roland Burris), it would have killed him in the RAT primary.
Most likely, he is "against" it the same way Joe Biden and Dick Durbin are, e.g. "I PERSONALLY don't agree with it, BUT... I will blindly rubber stamp whatever Planned Parenthood tells me to, 100% of the time anyway..."
Who’s the most conservative candidate, in that race? I agree that, if Vallas were conservative, we should have heard it at least 15 years ago.
A better question would be "which of the Marxists running is the least Marxist?"
Johnny LoGalbo is running for Chicago mayor, as a write-in candidate, and he’s not liberal. He filed enough signatures, and someone filed an objection because he filed an old version of one of the forms, although it’s the form that a Chicago Board of Election Commissioners told him to use. He wants to cut tax rates, hire police officers, and tell them to help ICE. He’s pro-2nd Amendment. He was endorsed by Chad Koppie and Vincent Romano.
I’d love to see LoriLighthead lose. If John Dillinger was around, she would make him the police chief.🤓
Filing closed a month or more ago. She has 4 challengers that poll in double digits.
It sounds like Vallas is one of the those “personally pro-life” types. Allegedly he once said he’s “more of a Republican than a democrat” and that’s probably true, if he was in New England he would run as a RINO. But of course he has to tout he’s a “lifelong democrat” to attract votes.
His latest ad touts “right to choose” (pissed off my mom) and the enforcing the illegal gun law but lets not make the election a litmus test on abortion, it’s legal in this state. And the gun ban will be overturned. This election is about getting a half-decent, non-insane Mayor that won’t keeping wrecking the damn city.
I think Willie Wilson is probably to Vallas’s right (it’s hard to tell, Willie is weird) but it looks like Vallas has a great chance to win. Unless the polls improve for Wilson I will vote for Vallas, we CAN’T have a Lori/Chuy or Chuy/Johnson or Lori/Johnson runoff.
Lori is the worst mayor in history.
Ping to 35
I think she’s gone, it’s a question of which challenger wins. She may very well come in third (and not make the runoff) or even forth.
But keep in mind two of her challengers, Chuy Garcia and Brendan Johnson might be WORSE than her. She’s attacking Johnson from the right on policing.
Latest poll shows a statistical tie between Garcia (Bernie Sanders supporter who might have gang ties) Lightfoot and Vallas (decent).
So Vallas is “personally pro-life” like I’m personally pro-infanticide. Kill ‘em, Hoover ‘em, chop ‘em up, put ‘em in a salad, eat ‘em. Freeze them for a later snack, etc. But I’d never force my views on the public and would vote pro-life. Which is a more sane position ?
Lightfoot has zero morals. She will win if she has to fill out the blank ballots herself.
Hochul turned out to be far worse than cuomo, which I didn’t think was possible.
The never the democrats throw one of their own under the bus, there’s a reason for it and it’s never a good thing.
