      <![CDATA["THE ABOVE POSTED BY AN ANTI-AMERICAN WHACKO
    November 30th - 4:50 p.m.
    IT'S DOUBTFUL THAT THE POSTERS WHO MAKE THE CLAIM OF ANTI-AMERICANISM ARE REFERRING TO CITIZENS VOTING IN EVERY ELECTION OR JUDGING INCUMBENTS ON THEIR RECORDS-WHAT IT SEEMS ,IMO, IS THEY ARE REFERRING TO THE POSTERS THAT MALIGN ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS WITH THE SAME BRUSH,MAKING USE OF LIES,INNUENDOES,AND DISTORTIONS OF PUBLIC RECORDS, ALL WITH THE INTENT TO CREATE PUBLIC MISTRUST AND DISTRUST WITH ALL LEVELS OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT,AND ALL WHO HOLD OFFICE. THE "VOTE ALL INCUMBENTS" OUT POSTER IS A GLARING EXAMPLE OF THIS SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR-A-L-L?THAT POSTER IS TRYING TO PERSUADE VOTING CITIZENS THAT ANY AND ALL DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED OFFICIALS ,WITHOUT EXCEPTION, SHOULD BE VOTED OUT IN FAVOR OF "CHAOS CREATING" NEWBIES,WHO THE MINUTE THEY ARE ELECTED WILL BE INCUMBENTS. ONE POSTER KNOWN TO BE THAT UNREASONABLE IS THE ONE NAMED "HUGH""
    
    
    "re:Patterns
    December 1st - 10:38 a.m.
    This has to be an example of what a poster refers to as "Seditous posting"! Apparently those who "Hate" public servants,and insisist on painting them with one "tarred"brush,now have it "worked out" in their DELUSIONAL brains that anybody posting against their anti-democratic hallucinations,is somehow connected to local government and somehow "abusing" something!If anything, readers should realize the old saying that the best defense is offense, and the HATEFUL "vote everyone out" crowd,by their assault, are covering their REAL AGENDA,WHICH is SEDITION---WEAKENING THE AMERICAN PUBLIC"S FAITH IN THEIR GOVERNMENT,ITS OFFICIALS AND DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM ITSELF!"
    
    
    "LIBERAL ANARCHIST GONE WILD
    December 1st - 9:55 p.m.
    THE ABOVE POST CAME FROM A HATE-RIDDLED LIBERAL ANARCHIST ANTI-AMERICAN/ANTI-DEMOCRACY MIND!WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT IT'S CREATOR IS ANARCHIST -IN-CHIEF,HUGH?!"
    
    
    "HUGH WAS UP LATE LAST NITE
    December 2nd - 4:14 p.m.
    3 AFTER 2:00 A.M. POSTS AND PROBABLE CONFIRMATION HE'S "THE VOTE INCUMBENTS OUT" SERIAL POSTER,ALTHOUGH, HUGH ,IT WAS OBVIOUS ANYWAY.SO WHEN ARE YOU RUNNING?"
    
    
    "THE BEST QUESTIO IS WHEN DOES HUGH RUN?
    December 2nd - 11:52 p.m.
    SINCE HUGH HAS SUCH A LOW OPINION OF THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM,WHY DOESN'T HUGH CIRCULATE ENOUGH PETITION SIGNATURES TO GET ON THE GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT FOR SOME OFFICE AS AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE! DON'T YOU THINK YOU CAN BEST SERVE THE TAXPAYERS THAT WAY, HUGH? COME UP WITH IDEAS,SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS, AND YOU CAN FACE YOUR OPPONENTS IN DEBATE AND MAKE YOUR SCURRILOUS ALLEGATIONS TO THEIR FACES ,RATHER THAN JUST CALLING EVERYBODY THIS AND THAT AND DISTORTING PUBLIC RECORDS FROM BEHIND YOUR KEYBOARD. YOU CAN EVEN CALL THEM CLOUT MONKIES AND THEIR CAMPAIGN WORKERS CLOUT CHIMPANZEES. DOESN'T THAT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING THAT WOULD SHOW WHAT A MAN OF HIGH PRINCIPLE YOU ARE ,HUGH? ANYBODY CAN COMPLAIN,DISTORT,AND SMEAR, BUT TO OFFER YOURSELF TO THE CCOURT OF PUBLIC JUDGEMENT, THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING YOU WOULD BE DRIVEN TO DO,HUGH!AND IF BY SOME MEANS, YOU WOULD WIN,WELL THEN YOU COULD VIOLATE THE SHAKMAN ACT AND FIRE THE DEFEATED INCUMBENT'S STAFF AS YOU KEEP TAUNTING THEM;WON'T THAT BE FUN FOR YOU, HUGH?AFTER THAT, A NEW HUGH WILL ARISE TO DO TO YOU WHAT YOU DO TO ALL CURRENT INCUMBENTS, LIE,SMEAR,AND BESMIRCH."
    
    
    "Hugh,Hugh,Hugh!
    December 4th - 6:43 p.m.
    another false assumption by you,Hugh! why must anyone smart enough to see through your hatred for anyone willing to serve the public ,be labeled by you as a "clouted" whatever? THIS IS WHY you are consaidered an anti-democracy anarchist,if not a downright sedition artist! The democratic process requires REAL human beings to engage in it and not to be blanketly accused of "assumed wrongdoings". How would you, Hugh,feel,if people made "allegations" about the integrity of all "COMPUTER PROFESSIONALS" that have a relationship with,oh say a major Catholic University in Chicago?"
    
    
    "re:NOT SO MUCH
    December 4th - 9:44 p.m.
    IN THIS COUNTRY,HUGH, IT'S INNOCENT UNTIL/UNLESS PROVEN GUILTY! INSTEAD OF TELLING OTHER POSTERS TO TRY TO PROVE A NEGATIVE??, IF YOU CAN'T PROVE YOUR WILD HALLUCINATORY ASSUMPTIONS BASED ON TWISTED INTERPERTATIONS OF PUBLIC RECORDS,THAT'S LIBELOUS !"
    
    
    "re:I said
    December 5th - 9:48 a.m.
    WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE FOOLING?MORE TURNSPEAK-IT'S YOU WHO LIES WHEN YOU MAKE FALSE ALLEGATIONS BASED ON INTERPRETATIONS THAT ARE HALLUCINATIONS AND AGENDA DRIVEN!YOU ARE AN ANARCHIST AND MOST LIKELY SUPPORTING AN E-X-T-R-E-M-I-S-T PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO BOOT!, ONE WHO ATTRACTS THOSE WHO HATE THE TWO-PARTY SYSTEM AND OUR CONSTITUTION BY CLAIMING TO STAND FOR IT!"
    
    
    "re:Essentials
    December 5th - 2:44 p.m.
    What are You? You're Hugh, the Anarchist! Class must be out at the major Catholic University, so time to post some more false allegations. SINCE WHEN IS TELLING THE TRUTH,"LYING AND FOOLING THE PUBLIC"?HERE'S A QUESTION FOR YOU,DO YOU CONFINE WHAT YOU TEACH YOUR STUDENTS TO THE COMPUTER SCIENCES YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE TEACHING THEM ,OR DO YOU,HUGH, TEACH THEM TO MISTRUST THEIR GOVERNMENT AND ALL PUBLIC OFFICIALS AS AN ADDED BONUS!ONE MORE QUESTION, DO YOU ALSO TEACH THEM TO COMMIT ANARCHY AND SEDITION ON THE INTERNET? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW FROM HE WHO IS "HOLIER THAN ALL"!"
    
    
    "Hugh Is A NAMBLA Militant
    December 5th - 3:02 p.m.
    THAT says it ALL!!!!."
    
    
    "SO,HUGH!
    December 5th - 10:59 p.m.
    YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE GOOD ,HONEST PUBLIC SERVANTS; THAN W-H-Y HAVE YOU INSISTED,UP UNTIL NOW , OF TARRING ALL? I HOPE YOU REALIZE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN PURSUING A WRONG COURSE; THIS POST SEEMS TO BE A STEP IN THAT DIRECTION,AND I HOPE YOU'LL AGREE THAT ANARCHY IS NOT THE ANSWER.POLITICS HAS CHANGED, AND EVERYONE DOES HAVE A CHANCE TO RUN AND HOLD OFFICE, EVEN YOU!"
    
    
    "YOU COULDN'T SUSTAIN IT
    December 6th - 12:32 a.m.
    BACK TO YOUR MUD-SLINGING-IMAGINE ME THINKING YOU ACTUALLY HAD A REASONABLE BONE IN YOUR BODY. NONE OF MY CLAIMS ARE FALSE AND YOU SAYING THEY ARE DOESN'T MAKE THAT SO,JUST AS YOUR LIES AND HALLUCINATIONS ABOUT A-L-L PUBLIC OFFICIALS, MAKE THAT SO. YOU SUFFER FROM EXTREME COGNITIVE DISSONANCE AND WE ARE BACK AT SQUARE ONE-WHY? BECAUSE TWISTING,LYING AND DISTORTION AGAINST AND ABOUT GOVERNMENT AND THOSE WHO SERVE ARE A CENTRAL FOCUS OF YOUR BEING!"
    
    
    "RE:THE SINCEREST FORM
    December 6th - 1:14 p.m.
    "NOT HUGH" KEEPS GOING WITH THE TURNSPEAK!HIS LATEST INCARNATION IS "JO SHMO",WHICH HE DELIBERATLY MISPELLS ABOVE.NOW "CLOUT MONKIES" ARE "MACHINE TOUTS"(LMAO)-"NOT HUGH" IS CERTAINLY CREATIVE IN HIS NAME CALLING. WHERE OH WHERE DOES THE TAX MONEY GO?-WELL , THOSE PLOW TRUCKS/SALT SPREADERS AREN'T MIRAGES;THE WATER FLOWING THROUGH CHICAGO'S PIPES ISN'T COMING FROM A MELTING GLACIER; THE STREET LIGHTS THAT KEEP US FROM WALKING AROUND WITH FLASHLIGHTS LIKE WWII BLACKED OUT LONDON AREN'T RUNNING ON PRAYER; THE POLICE AND FIRE WHICH GUARD OUR VERY LIVES WHILE RISKING THEIR OWN DO NOT HAVE TO BE VOLUNTEERS,ETC. I THINK I MAKE MY POINT,TO "NON-HUGH" AND EVERYONE ELSE!"
    
    
    "RE:YOUR POINT
    December 7th - 7:37 a.m.
    A BABY BOOMER,YOU ELITIST! NOW YOU TALK DOWN TO THOSE WHO ARE AUDACIOUS ENOUGH TO CHALLENGE YOU! YOU JUST CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR HATEFULLNESS IS CONFRONTED,AND YOU "MUST "TRY FOR THE LAST WORD,ALTHOUGH YOU SURELY REALIZE YOU WON'T GET IT,SO ROUND AND ROUND WE GO!WHAT YOU POST, AND THE HATRED BEHIND IT , WILL NOT GO UNCHALLENGED."

      <![CDATA[The problem that those touting for the established machine politicos have is that the truth is not on their side.
    
    'jo smoe' asks some very relevant questions, as do many who post comments here.
    
    The machine touts have no truthful answers that can help them stay in power, so they lie.
    
    "...where are all these dollars going.."?
    
    The machine touts can't answer this question truthfully, 'cause the truth will not set them free, it will only get them voted out of office.
    
    It's a testament to the tolerance and complacence of the voters that 'jo smoe' would say "...its time for a change and it has to happen sooner then later these legal crooks in the council need to feel what its like to be taken advantage of..." and then say "...not one of them should be allowed to serve more then 2 terms...", as if any of them should be elected or reelected at all.
    
    It's also evidence that the generational conditioning of the electorate has been very effective at convincing so very many citizens that they are powerless to prevent the rape and pillaging of their pocketbooks, by the very people who claim to be 'servants' of the public.
    
    The voters are not powerless.
    
    HAVE NO DOUBT, VOTE INCUMBENTS OUT

    You know that everyone does not have an honest chance at even getting on the ballot, let alone getting elected, with the established, domineering, monopolies passing themselves off as two, separate political parties, namely the Democrats and the Republicans, vigorously suppressing each and every attempt by honest citizens to form alternative parties, to gain access to the ballot and to encourage all citizens to REGISTER TO VOTE and to VOTE IN EVERY ELECTION and to HAVE NO DOUBT, VOTE INCUMBENTS OUT.
    
    You know that your claims are substantially false and, thus, fraudulent.
    
    You know that your criticisms are false and, thus, fraudulent.
    
    You know that, were you to be authentically supportive of Freedom, Democracy, our Constitution and Bill of Rights, you would be promoting the HAVE NO DOUBT, VOTE INCUMBENTS OUT strategy, not fraudulently trying to suppress it.
    
    But you continue to do so, as is your right.
    
    Just don't expect your lies, innuendos, blatant exaggerations and distortions, and your glaring bias to go unnoticed.
    
    You support dishonest government and the dishonest means by which dishonest people gain and retain political power.
    
    That makes you part of the problem.
    
    HAVE NO DOUBT, VOTE INCUMBENTS OUT is a beginning of the solution.

      <![CDATA["Can he/she tell us how many voters will vote in the Illinois primary and next November's(one year from now) General Election."
    
    Hopefully, many more than the established political machines can ever hope to control the votes of.
    
    
    "What does the poster mean by "citizens" challenging incumbents in the Primary and General elections?-running against incumbents or voting against incumbents?"
    
    Both. In numbers too great to conceal.
    
    
    "Who is the poster taunting about clouted job(s) disappearing?"
    
    If you don't know, it ain't you.
    
    
    "Is the poster speaking in code to a or many specific individuals or in general to all who work under incumbent elected officials?"
    
    If, in your heart, you know you are doing an honest job, making every honest effort possible to serve the citizens whose taxes pay your salary, you are not the problem.
    
    In fact, many of those employed by governments, directly by government agencies and departments, and, somewhat indirectly, being employed at-will by elected officials, are routinely serving the public that pays them, honestly and sincerely.
    
    Many of these honest folks also long for the day when their honesty is valued and rewarded honestly.
    
    Many of these honest folks despise the few dishonest, lazy, lying fucks-with-connections that they must deal with daily.
    
    Corruption so entrenched as we have here will not be removed easily and without some unpleasantness.
    
    The blood-suckers will hang on tight and try to do much damage as they are removed by the force of the voter's Right to Vote.
    
    Honest people will recognize other honest people.
    
    Hardworking people will recognize other hardworking people.
    
    God willing, hardworking and honest people will soon be the norm in our governments.
    
    If the hardworking, honest citizens do what it will take to make this so.
    
    HAVE NO DOUBT, VOTE INCUMBENTS OUT
    
    Begin by applying this strategy.
    
    Create the genuine opportunity for honest people to be presented to the citizens as candidates for elected offices, Legislative, Judicial and Executive.
    
    Have Faith and Courage that the God of your choice actually cares about Honesty, Integrity, Sincerity, Humility, Kindness, Generosity, Rationality, Reason, Fairness, Intelligence and Justice for All.
    
    'Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself'
    
    'Do Unto Others As You Would Have Others Do Unto You'
    
    'Judge Not, Lest Thee Be Judged'
    
    
    Yes, faith in goodness is a tough sell these days.
    
    But goodness is the only thing of value there is.
    
    Everything else is snake oil.

      <![CDATA[A few better questions for you to ask are:
    
    How many citizens will be voting in the Primary Election?
    
    And the General Election?
    
    
    and

THIS IS WHY  you are consaidered an anti-democracy anarchist,if not a downright sedition artist! The democratic process requires REAL human beings to engage in it and not to be blanketly accused of "assumed wrongdoings". How would you, Hugh,feel,if people made "allegations" about the integrity of all "COMPUTER PROFESSIONALS" that have a relationship with,oh say a major Catholic University in Chicago?
