      <![CDATA[I agree, Todd Stroger needs to be brought down.  He is a complete moron, incapable of running the Cook County Board.
    
    All of these incumbents need to be ousted.  They are like the plague.

      <![CDATA[John Stroger might have been a decent guy and he will be missed by many.  
    
    My only concern is the corruption that will continue to be part of his legacy, largely through his son, Todd Stroger.
    
    It's almost just too coincidental that he died at exactly 8am, amost exactly two weeks before the primary election.
    
    Being that coincidenal, I think this reeks of Chicago machine political corruption, especially with the bait and switch, pity votes he received to get his son into office.
    
    The 2006 election was among the most controversial in the colorful history of Cook County politics. Despite suffering a severe stroke just a week before the primary election, John Stroger still managed to secure his party's support by a final margin of 53% to 47% over Forrest Claypool. The severity of Stroger's condition was concealed from voters both before and for 3 months after the Democratic primary, possibly allowing his primary victory and preventing independent opposition to the replacement Democratic candidate in the general election. Although he overcame health complications in the past, questions still lingered regarding his ability to serve another term a Cook County Board President.
    
    Conspiracy theorists believe that he may have been on life support all this time to keep the Stroger Dynasty in power.
    
    We can end the Stroger Machine.  There is one left.

      <![CDATA[The racist, bigoted folks are sure persistent little clout minions.
    
    Let's see how long it will take for you to remove their blatantly un-American, anti-Democratic and slanderous casting of hate filled aspersions.
    
    Because, being an ignorant, hate-mongering, devoid of rational thought, clout sucking minion of the machine isn't an excuse for posting racist, bigoted and slanderous comments, comments intended to foment hatred, animosity, ignorance and violence against any and all who dare to protest against their patently evil ways.
    
    Though, should you choose to permit their vile words to remain, in the name of free speech, I'll understand the parameters of your version of what is, and is not, protected free speech.
    
    How about protecting this:
    
    HAVE NO DOUBT, VOTE INCUMBENTS OUT
    
    REGISTER TO VOTE
    
    VOTE IN EVERY ELECTION
    
    VOTE OUT EVERY INCUMBENT
    
    It's easy.
    
    Just Do It.

      <![CDATA[".....a MUCH STRONGER Democratic nominee would vanquish Peraica for a 2 term attempt."
    
    Like who?
    
    And "...MUCH STRONGER..." in what way?
    
    A "...MUCH STRONGER..." at being a liar?
    
    A "...MUCH STRONGER..." at being a sneakier thief?
    
    A "...MUCH STRONGER..." at bullshitting more citizens into believing that their taxes aren't being wasted, misspent, stolen, doled out to politician's friends, family and associates, and otherwise inflated to pay for all the incompetent, ignorant, dishonest and manipulative activities practiced by both Republicans and Democrats?
    
    Why didn't John Daley run?
    
    Why didn't Ed Burke run?
    
    Why didn't Dick Mell run?
    
    Why didn't Ray Suarez run?
    
    Why didn't Pat O'Conner run?
    
    Why didn't Billie Beavers run?
    
    Why didn't Bobbie Steele run?
    
    Why didn't Moreno run?
    
    Why didn't Claypool run?
    
    Why didn't 'name your favorite political hack' run?
    
    If the Democrats have such a deep pool of "...MUCH STRONGER..." candidates for Crook County Board President, why didn't they run them?
    
    Why run the Toddler at all?
    
    C'mon, Whatchatalkin'bout, give us your expert opinions on the whys?

      <![CDATA[And now the only questions that remain are:
    
    Who deems themselves the guardian(s) of this no longer open blog?
    
    What are the new rules concerning what comments will be removed and what comments will be so generously allowed to remain?
    
    What agendas are being catered to and whose agendas are they?
    
    And what effect will these newly applied censorship standards have on both the future nature of comments posted and the characteristics of those who will continue to post them?
    
    Apparently, as the Primary election draws ever nearer, the range of content of our comment 'privileges' will diminish exponentially.
    
    How close to being as irrelevant as the Times and Trib will the Reader dare to come?

      <![CDATA[You forgot an obvious one. Part of the case Mark Pera is making against Dan Lipinski in the IL-3 Democratic Primary -- besides Dan's horrible voting record and personal corruption -- is that his dad and the Chicago machine "pulled a Stroger" to install him as the Congressman in the first place (even though Dan didn't even live in Illinois at the time).
