      <![CDATA['orion' comments on 'Crosscurrents' by Mick Dumke on April 3rd
    
    "Orion
    April 3rd - 5:52 p.m.
    Typical Jackson hypocrite BS.
    
    Jackson sold his soul to the Unions for helping his wife win and now he has to payback, but cannot do that 100% with the weaseling out in the 21st ward race.
    
    Jackson wants everyone to forget that while he was just out of school, trying to "find himself" (law school, divinity school, etc) he was on the payroll of the Hotel Workers union in a no-show job at $50K per year (good scratch in those days).
    
    The Jacksons are out for the Jacksons and anyone else be damned."
    
    and
    
    "orion
    April 4th - 9:37 a.m.
    Piasano:
    
    Because Frank Coconutty keeps bringing it up.
    
    
    Chicago Tonight:
    Take your canned responses about voter participation elsewhere. The 21st routinely has among the highest turnout numbers in the city.
    
    
    Jesse Jr. is a tree shaker, not a leaf raker.
    Like many legacies, if his last name was "Smith" he would be lucky to get a job in a toll booth."
    
    and
    
    "orion
    April 4th - 10:10 p.m.
    and you keep reading and commenting on it so there must be a splash guard on your keyboard."
    
    and
    
    "Orion
    April 6th - 10:51 a.m.
    Junior is trying to support candidates in the hope that his wife will not be spiting into the wind during City Council meetings without any allies.
    
    If any of these people he supports wins, they will form a "Jr." caucus of sorts against the machine.
    
    Jr. had better hope he pulls this out because he is up for election in February and he has made a lot of the locals upset. Whereas he has usually token opposition in elections, all of the Aldermen that are also committeemen that he has crossed could come back to bite him in the butt and at least make him spend some money on his own campaign."
    
    and
    
    "ORION
    April 6th - 3:02 p.m.
    Please grammar/spell check your post and resubmit.
    
    There are some parts there that are not understandable."
    
    
    Thus concludes the 'orion' comments on this article.

      <![CDATA["Jesse Jackson, Jr. is out for himself and does not care who gets trashed or removed. He that remembers, first you and then me is the wisest. If you go against friends secretly and publicly give them enough pats on the back to keep them calm. You will others in the same manner. Jesse is just like his father just younger and a better speaker."
    
    translation:
    
    Jesse Jackson Jr. is a natural politician, a shining example of the political animal.
    
    If you, the reader, can remember
    what I, the writer, do remember, we shall both be the wiser.
    
    A genuine political animal, such as Jesse Jackson Jr., will consistently act, secretly, to harm his/her 'friends', while publicly giving the appearance of helping them, soothing and placating his 'friends' whenever they express doubts about his actions.
    
    How a politician treats his/her 'friends' is an indication of how a politician will likely treat others, namely, his/her constituents.
    
    Jesse Jackson Jr. has learned to be as his father has been, and, in the opinion of this writer, is a younger and more accomplished version of same.
    
    and
      
    "There are some parts there that are not understandable."
    
    translation:
    
    I, the writer, orion, am too lazy and much too arrogant.
    
    I, the writer, orion, believe that I am smarter than the average bear and that I rock.
    
    I, the writer, orion, enjoy mocking anyone who I deem is not as smart as me, educated as me, intelligent as me and/or thinks like me, which is essentially everyone, living or dead, from the beginning of time and on into the infinite future.
    
    I, THE WRITER, ORION, RULE!!!!!

      <![CDATA[Jesse Jackson only takes credit for his wins but not his losses.
    
    Like Lewis Powell for Water Reclamation.
    or
    Andre for Judge
    or his 2 losing County Commissioner candidates who lost with his photos against Sims.
    like not endorsing John Stroger and being with the losing Forest Claypool.
    Never supporting Hispanic candidates although extorting support in the close appellate court race.
    
    In the last aldermanic race
    2ND WARD KENNY JOHNSON LOST BIG
    with the Jackson photo all over including other wards
    DENISE DIXON IN THE 15TH WARD
    LOST BIG
    NOT EVEN RUNOFFS
    
    Suburban races have kept many Shaw allies alive because of the stupidity and arrogance of the Jacksons just ask locals like Frank Zucarelli.
    
    Jackson extorts money from these candidates, foreces them to use his pollsters, buy billboards promoting his image including in areas it does not help, and his photo and photographers--it is a business to Jackson.
    Jackosn loves to take credit for things he had little do with like
    Obama or Alexi Gunulias.
    
    Jackson is a spoiled arrogant lying hypocritcal punk.
    Daley would of destroyed him and all his dirt would of come out.

    The media is very bad on this.
    Being anti-Italian is not justified.
