      <![CDATA[If only Tony Peraica can understand that a little honey with that lemon juice will turn the justifiably sour truth into sweet and palatable lemon-aid.
    
    Focus on the facts and add a bit of polish to the delivery of those facts.
    
    Criticize the actions and leave the condemning of the persons engaging in said actions to the voters.
    
    Shine the light of day on the shadows, not into the eyes of the voters.
    
    Walk and talk softly and place your cuts wisely.

      <![CDATA[Now, now, aren't you the pot calling the kettle black.
    
    
    "While the poor little misled citizens bitch & moan... YOU WHORES..." and Daley "..Stooges..." act like complete fucking hypocrites by saying 'Oh, Everything's Wonderful...' ... While... the poor little misled citizens get hoodwinked big time".
    
    "...it's some assholes like you...", with "...your machine politics bullshit..", with your attitude of "Fuck You Everybody, We're The Ones In Power...", that make "...people wonder..." why they ever elected "...fuckfaces like YOU".
    
    Try not to think you can "...put WORDS into my MOUTH..", because, while "Many try to make things civil...", you are not one of them.
    
    If you had an interest in making "...things civil...", you wouldn't be the "...FUCKING BASTARD!!!!!" that you are.
    
    "YAH, WE'VE HEARD IT BEFORE......", all your rantings, pejoratives, obscenities and insanities, so "...STFU...".
    
    This comment board has intelligent visitors, readers truly interested in civil discourse, though it's irritating to some to be subjected to "...assholes like you that act like complete fucking hypocrites by saying..." the stupid shit that your comments regularly do. 
    
    
    So, potty mouth, who really "...Is Full Of Shit"?
    
    I suggest it's you, "...YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!!!".
    
    Let's see if you can prove me wrong, by being civil, for once.

And STFU, Tony Prickracka's Stooges, Frank Coconut, Ben Jagovsky, Mick Dumbass & Their rogue bastards to the first degree. And DON'T give me any of your machine politics bullshit, Because when YOU WHORES take office the first day you'd probably say "Fuck You Everybody, We're The Ones In Power Now", While the poor little misled citizens bitch & moan, But some lameass Muzak recording puts them on hold. THEN people wonder, Unless it's some assholes like you that act like complete fucking hypocrites by saying "Oh, Everything's Wonderful Now", While the rest of the poor little misled citizens get hoodwinked big time. YAH, WE'VE HEARD IT BEFORE......

      <![CDATA[Indeed, it should.
    
    Yet, "...BASTARDS like YOU are not making it so".
    
    So, why won't you "..STOP whoring.." and boring us with your "..ONE-SIDED MONOLOGUE"?
    
    Why do you insist upon being a "..CONDESCENDING jerk!!!!"?
    
    Why must you continue to be a "..biased piece of crap."?
    
    "Look you...ONE-SIDED SMELLY...LEECH..", it's "..ASSHOLES..." like "..YOU...FREAKING HYPOCRITES!!!!!!" who "..SMELL..".
    
    "YOU ASSHOLES..." are "...NOT Jesus Christ..." but are "...Heathenous Ravens.." who "..would replace Jesus Christ with .." Richard M. Daley.
    
    Good luck with that.

      <![CDATA[All those 'may be unlikely' and 'may not be entirely likely or probable' and 'I wouldn't be rest asured' and 'I wouldn't say' and such.
    
    You don't know whether you're coming or going, do you?
    
    Then there's the bullshit about Miriam Santos, said bullshit containing a deeply buried grain of truth.
    
    Miriam Santos 'turned' on Daley in what way?
    
    Oh yeah, I remember now.
    
    She refused to cooperate in Daley's plan to rape and pillage the city's pension funds, Police and Firemen's, if I recall correctly.
    
    So Daley, along with the various participants in the scheme, framed/entrapped Santos, through an egregiously heinous series of acts, and you describe these events as Santos 'turning' on Daley?
    
    What a piece of shit you truly are.
    
    Alvarez will not do a damn thing concerning Daley's, Stroger's, Burke's, Mell's, Madigan's, Bank's, O'Conner's, Stone's, etc., etc., etc., ongoing criminally corrupt enterprises.
    
    Not a damn thing.
    
    You know it.
    
    I know it.
    
    Everybody knows it.
    
    Everybody.
    
    What 'Time Will Tell' is, will the voters avail themselves of this prime opportunity to throw a giant monkey wrench into this pervasive corruption machine, by electing Tony Peraica, the only candidate for the Cook County State's Attorney's office who has shown the desire to do so?

      <![CDATA[Yet, It may be unlikely that Alvarez will indict or look into Stroger & co. However, I WOULDN'T fully rest on my laurels saying it's a given. Keep in mind the name Miriam Santos. A Daley-backed candidate who turned on him shortly thereafter. It may not be entirely likely or probable, But I wouldn't be rest assured that she'll be beholden to them. Though I wouldn't say that she'll be an enemy or adversary to them.....Yet as the old saying goes....."Only Time Will Tell".

    With the use of SpellCheck:
    
    "....is a very disturbed individual who suffers from self gratification delusions."
    
    Said description equally fitting most all publicly elected officials, their associates, and many of the self-declared 'leaders' of our communities. 
    
    Do you, by any chance, recognize yourself in this description?

      <![CDATA[The comments seen on this site are again the lies of Patrick Mcdonough. Mr. McDonough is still upset that his wife lost the election in Des Plaines, largly due to Patrick's involvment. Mr. McDonough lives in Des Plaines, works in Chicago, and loves to write to blogs, statements which he believes make Mr. McDonough look inportant. He references local and state polititians as though they are his associates. I have personally recieved emails from some of these elected officials who have stated that Mr. McDonough is a very distrubed indivual who suffers from self gratification delutions.
    
    Mr. McDonough, why not have another drink and dream up some more words to write. You know nothing about my business, or my association with Mr. Coconate. I have been keeping a file on you, remember what goes around come around, only when I make this file known, it will provide data and facts to back up my claims.

      <![CDATA[Actually, you've made a point counter to your intention.
    
    Those who have little to nothing of substance to say should be appreciated for their ignorant honesty.
    
    Ignorant honesty in that they are assuredly ignorant about how their honesty reveals how ignorant they are.
    
    As for these miscreants putting 'logical information' in their posts, if they were capable of anything but a mutated version of logic, they would be capable of posting something of intelligence.
    
    The fact that they do not is proof that they cannot.
    
    "Let us try to increase the value of this board."
    
    Absolutely.
    
    Begin by being a regular poster, sharing your own perspectives, opinions and observations on everything other than the comments of imbeciles.
    
    Post thoughtful commentary on both the subject at hand and the many related subjects this blog is all about.
    
    Be the kind of commenter that you wish to others to be.
    
    That will do more to 'increase the value of this board' than any moderation could ever do.

      <![CDATA[There should be some rules to not swear, use sexual references unnecesarily, and avoid mentions of feces, prostates etc.
    The main violator is Patrick McDonoug, but occassionaly it is Frank Coconate himself.  Republican Committeeman of Berwyn Castogiovone is also a vulgar poster who hates Peraica--fine put logical information about Peraica there is enough out there but not about feces, prostrates, bald heads, and if his wife is in Al-Qaead--PROVE IT--and take it to the FBI--but I doubt it--and to attack Peraica's wife because she is Muslim is biggotted or because she is Indian or Pakistani is racist.  
    Let us try to increase the value of this board.

      <![CDATA[Without diminishing the few truths contained within Marin's comments concerning Tony Peraica, and within yours, do we, as voters, really want to base our decisions on who to vote for, and who to not vote for, solely on the opinion of a broadcast media 'professional'?
    
    True, Peraica is a person whose personality is often irritating to experience, often giving the impression of a lack of many qualities one would prefer, in our elected officials, to be in abundance.
    
    But, in this case, for this public office, do we, the voters, really want a person we would feel comfortable having as a next door neighbor, or, do we want a person we can count on to aggressively investigate, indict and prosecute to conviction, the many, many, many thieving bastards and bitches infesting our city and county governments?
    
    Is it more important, to the taxpaying voters of this city and county, to elect, as our next Crook County State's Attorney, 
    
    1) a person we like, albeit one we have no reasonable assurance will aggressively pursue corruption in our governments and many reasonable and historical assurances that she won't, 
    
    OR
    
    2) a person, who we may not ever want to have dinner with, who has a verifiable history of being, not only willing to pursue corruption in our city and county governments, but EAGER to do so. And is fully capable of not only doing so, but of hiring assistants of like mind.
    
    Of course Marin is going to emphasis the negatives about Peraica, of course she's going to tout Alvarez, of course she's going to do what she's been told to do, by those who employ her. 
    
    Whether she does so enthusiastically or reluctantly, may be interesting, as far as the integrity of Marin is concerned, but is irrelevant to the question of who will better serve the interests of the citizen/voter/taxpayers of this city and county.
    
    That being said, it is a good piece of advice, that Peraica should think long and hard about, for him to be much better prepared for the tasks which lie ahead, a few being:
    
    1) Do not presume that there are enough registered voters in this county who truly want those corrupt individuals infesting our governments brought to justice than there are registered voters who DO NOT want anything to change.
    
    2) Do not presume that there are enough registered voters who have the minimum amount of intelligence to realize the rare opportunity his candidacy presents, that opportunity being to have, for the first time in living memory, an opposition party's, (Republican), candidate as our County State's Attorney.
    
    3) Do not presume that because Alvarez was not, in any way, the Democrats preferred choice as their candidate, that she won't be given, by default, the backing the machine would have provided to their chosen candidate, the now defunct Bob Milan. 
    
    4) Ask the question: Why were there so many Democratic machine candidates running for this office in the first place? 
    
    Answer: Hedging their bets and internal party territorial squabbling.
    
    All the Democratic candidates for this office are tainted goods, with Alvarez, perhaps, being the lesser of many evils.
    
    5) Realize that the now obvious advantages that Alvarez brings to this contest, a few being her gender, ethnicity and her personal attractiveness, will be exploited by her thoroughly corrupted associates.
    
    6) Realize, further, that every last trick in the Democratic Machine's playbook will be used to ensure that their criminal enterprises are not endangered by a Republican Cook County State's Attorney.
    
    7) Finally, Peraica must, right now, embrace and engage in a campaign which, while emphasizing the valid reasons we, as citizen/voter/taxpayers, need his services as our next Cook County State's Attorney, acknowledges the real possibility that 'we' may not, in sufficient numbers, realize how badly we need him.
    
    Those who have doubts as to this need, need only check their pocketbooks, compare the amounts they regularly earn, from their daily labors, with the amounts they are left, with to spend on themselves and their families, AFTER they've been dunned with the many, and various, taxes imposed upon them, here in our county of crooks.
       
    Compare what your utility bills WOULD BE, without the additional taxes imposed by the city and county.
    
    Compare what your groceries would cost, without the taxes imposed by the city and county.
    
    Compare what the cost of owning your home would be, without the always rising assessments that routinely increase your property tax bills by factors of 40% to 100% every 3 fucking years.
    
    The above is just the tip of the iceberg, as so much of the cost of the goods and services we purchase includes the many taxes imposed upon businesses, small and large, in this city and county of crooks.
    
    Opportunity is knocking, for the citizen/voter/taxpayers.
    
    It's up to Tony Peraica, at this point in time, to realize what he will have to do, the adjustments in how he presents himself to the voters he may have to make, to neutralize the many means by which the skillful liars of the Democratic Corruption Machine will attempt to use, to distract, deceive and just plain bullshit the electorate into passing on this chance to, for the first time in living memory, have an individual dedicated to fighting corruption in government as our County State's Attorney.

Certainly, That political worker folly with the most vile word in the vocabulary will lax help his election chances.

      <![CDATA[Now even one of your most beholden allies Carol Marin says Peraica cannot, would not & will not win the election......Unless, He changes his bombastic, rough around the edges attitude & style. She said she had a few legitimate issues, But his style was a big turnoff. Yet if you guys rebut with the SAME spoiled sport attitude & try to convince to vote for Product "B"-type tomfoolery. You're just literally crying sour grapes. And you guys have nothing but a bunch of "Born To Lose"-type attitudes. Just LOOK at the races you have lost just recently. And Moneybags Tony Peraica will most likely have to seek the civilian lifestyles when it comes to 2010. Because, Unless lightning strikes. He will NOT win the State's Attorney's race, He'll be LUCKY to muster 30-40% of the vote....And he'll look AWFULLY FOOLISH if he marches at late night again with 70% of the vote in & LOSING 60-70% of the vote. His Republican support will most likely be halfhearted, insincere, lukewarm, tepid despite the GOP chairwoman's backing. His independent base?????, Are you KIDDING ME??????. Only some sour grapes-type losers like you-know-who will back him. Otherwise his support WILL be lackluster. His "grassroots" support is more like dry weeds.
