    If Don loses by less than 100 votes, I'd be shocked if Moore voter fraud wasn't responsible.

      <![CDATA[Sometimes I wonder if those who don't vote or don't register to vote understand how much of their hard earned income is wasted by the gross mismanagement and misuse of the tax dollars we all are forced to 'pony up'.
    
    Property Taxes, (part of your rent, if you don't own property AND part of the price you pay for everything you buy, goods and services, 'cause the businesses you buy from pay the same or greater taxes than you do.)
    
    Sales taxes of all kinds.
    
    Income taxes, both state and federal.
    
    Licenses, Fees, Fines, Permits, etc. (also passed on to the consumers)
    
    Utility taxes, in addition to the sales taxes, which juice your utility bills.
    
    Mystery taxes you may or may not see, and couldn't know what they're for anyway.
    
    What's the calculation now, something like 40% - 45% of our GROSS income is taken from us in taxes.
    
    Every year we work from January 1st until mid May and ALL of our income earned during that time goes directly into the pockets of some government agency.
    
    Granted, many things that government uses our tax dollars for are beneficial to us all.
    
    Many, however, are not.
    
    Yet, year after year, decade after decade, there still seems to be a steady 70% - 80% of our fellow citizens who either don't vote or don't even bother to register.
    
    Our 'elected officials' pay lip service to 'getting more people to register', and only make efforts to do so that benefit their particular political party.
    
    WAKE UP, WAKE UP, SLEEPY VOTERS!
    
    Our fates are in our own hands.

      <![CDATA[Jim Ginderske(JG) is the one with the personal vendetta against Craig Gernhardt. It pretty much exploded when Craig exposed that the JG campaign had put political flyers for an event without permission or paying for advertisement in the Tribune&acirc;&#128;&#153;s Redeye. Several people got it in the Redeye including me. Craig G. may support Gordon over Moore but he is not part of the any campaign. In fact, RP Citizen fails to mention that Gordon got his share anguish on MorseHellHole especially when his daughter was dragged through the mud in Septemeber 06. Once again, JG campaign did the legwork.
    
    I don&acirc;&#128;&#153;t always agree with Craig. He may have a loud mouth but the most vicious and demeaning bullies (on multiple levels) are the JG blog team especially Tom &acirc;&#128;&#156;pit bull&acirc;&#128;&#157; Westgard who removed all his previous posts except when he posts under another alias. He&acirc;&#128;&#153;s constantly playing the race card. He doesn&acirc;&#128;&#153;t know a thing about being a poor minority and defines them as needy and helpless victims. On another note, I&acirc;&#128;&#153;ll leave you with less vicious side of TW:
    
    Men and Therapy
    Psychology Today, Sept-Oct, 2004 by Thomas Westgard
    "Is this what men can expect from therapy-getting blamed for everything? ("Man's Last Stand," August.) Women set men up to fail in marriage. From the beginning, the therapy is undermined by the wife's hope that the therapist will undertake to explain what she won't. No wonder men are hostile to it. The truth is more complex than blaming one gender. More important, laying fault solely at the feet of men will not get them interested in therapy--or in repairing a failing relationship."

    <description>
      
      <![CDATA[let's look at your 'enlightening' post, item by item.
    
    == "Attended a CAPS meeting and ...."
    
    If Don actually said something like this, it does sound a bit cold-hearted. I don't suppose, tho, that Moore, or any of his supporters, have opened their homes to the homeless lately, or ever, so what's your point?
    
    == "Chased black teenagers down the block ......"
    
    You don't mean to suggest that, were these teenagers' skin color NOT 'black', that they wouldn't have been "chased .... down the block", for whatever reason(s) that occurred, if, in fact, it did?
    
    == "Courted the white racist ...."
    
    I suggest that one checks out a map of the boundaries of the city limits .... 2/3rds of the northern boundary of the ward is south of Howard. Who are these so-called 'racist voters' referred to, 'north of Howard'? 
    
    == "Started the RP ....."
    
    Insufficient data to draw any conclusion(s)from. And anyway, so what?
    
    == "Got involved in the site location for ...."
    
    News flash: Most people without school-aged children don't want    to live 'close' to hundreds of kids, of whatever social status, coming and going daily. If you've ever lived near a grammar school, you'll know why.
    
    == "Thinks that business and city government operate ..."
    
    Message to knucklehead: If you really think that 'city government' is a not-for-profit enterprise, then you truly don't have a patronage job, sweetheart deal, or no-bid contract. 
    
    == "Has openly courted money ...."
    
    Like 'Dinky Moore' hasn't? Ask Jay Johnson what the going rate for payoffs is.
    
    == "Is endorsed by ......"
    
    This is the only item that should be remotely disturbing. Of course, if 'Dinky' had been endorsed by same, would you be trying to use this as a negative?
    
    == "Has received major bucks from ..."
    
    Do you mean to say that Moore's EVER turned down a single nickel, from any source? Also, see the relevant item above.
    
    So, we find that RP citizen really
    hasn't said much of anything worth considering at all.
    
    Typical 'Dinky Moore' supporter.

      <![CDATA[Not to diminish the egregious rascalism, and arrogant disdain for the less fortunate, embodied by that  scheme, but, the Mr. Potter-type spiders prefer the long-term 'Da Chicago Way' web weaving, which turns pennies invested into C-notes, albeit over a much longer time-frame.
    
    The web-weavers are patient folks, and seem to live forever.
    
    Lucky for the world that good people are being born every day.
    
    Now, the challenge is for those good people to not fall for the varity of bullshit that enables the spiders to weave their webs.
    
    No disrespect meant to those spiders of insect genealogy.

      <![CDATA[that's pretty damned good "Da Chicago Way," but I think the practice of moving a homeless shelter (preferably poorly managed) into prime real estate neighborhoods, later to be moved once the "right people" buy the surrounding property at depressed prices, warrants special bullet points for "advanced shenaniganizing."
    
    See the South Loop as  a "completed" and Uptown as an "underway" for examples of this time-honored practice of urban revitalization.

      <![CDATA[Let's step back a bit, and look at things from an historical perspective.
    
    Immense wealth can be gained from the manipulation of real estate values.
    
    Here's how it's been done in Chicago:
    
    1) determine which areas have the potential of being attractive to those blessed with high incomes and ample financial resources.
    (Transportation facilities, classic architecture, established parks and recreation facilities, proximity to the Loop, etc. are all pluses.)   
    
    2) Neglect the chosen target areas for as long as possible, for the purpose of depreciating property values by, among other means, decreasing safety related activities, (or encourage the perception of same), neglecting the infrastructure, pandering to prejudices, harassing individual, cloutless homeowners thru punitive building code citations, etc..
    
    3) Buy up, thru dummy corporations  and such, properties of those fleeing the neglected area, then neglect and milk said properties or demolish same.
    
    4) Continue accumulating properties, with or without buildings on them and continue to neglect the areas' remaining residents' basic needs, as property prices drop even further.
    
    5) Entice the ever optomistic and gutsy 'urban pioneers', with dirt cheap rentals and a few reasonably priced building sales, (tho still making you double to triple on what you paid for them)
    
    6) Watch and Wait, while the 'urban pioneers' do all your work for you.
    
    7) As the time to cash in approaches, stimulate the progress of the process by beginning the work of repairing and improving those past neglected infrastructures and increasing the activities effective in increasing the safety of residents, or the perception of same.
    
    8) Raise rents on all your previously neglected and milked properties, thus forcing out any remaining 'undesirables'. (and remember NOT to thank them for their past contributions relative to depressing property values)
    
    9) Cash in, BIG TIME, when those previously mentioned individuals with high incomes and ample resources now flock to the new 'hot' neighborhood.
    
    10) Oh, don't forget to juice the builders and contractors who'll also be gathering at your doorstep, begging for the chance to build on those vacant lots you've been sitting on or buy them for 20 to 50 times what you got them for.
    
    and

      <![CDATA[What's a white attorney know about being a minority? Not much from what I can see. RPCitizen/Westgard has his own race issue. He will unabashedly lump minority and the poor in one group while at the same time insulting these people. It's slap in the face for the minorities and lower income supporters, friends, volunteers, colleagues and staff of the Gordon campaign. Thanks to Westgard, the Ginderske campaign had to put a gag on this man for damage control from losing supporters and voters.

    Look at his chief of staff, he is a gay, black man. And they are friends. Joe should be a shamed of himself for spreading these lies.
