Vote for Miguel delValle! Rahm is not interested in bettering Chicago.

Don't mean to get all political, but I just read Rahm's Wiki page, read some other info on him and the Chicago machine and pulled some gems for a These Blog Postings .  What does everyone else think about this kind of individual continuing to set the tone for our city?

 

I don't like it a bit.

 

Del Valle seems awesome!  anyone have any dirt I should know about him before joining his team for sure?  (hint... there was none.  I joined his team for sure!)

 

Love ya!

 

Going for a ride.....

Brrr......

I was planning to vote for John Hawkins, the Socialist Workers Party candidate, but am thinking about voting for Carol Mosley Braun, the only candidate with the guts to accuse a rival of hiring the Latin Kings to harass her.

 

Del Valle has always struck me as a clown and Emanuel as a criminal, but I will give them credit for being the only two to introduce a slight bit of hedging when pledging their support for slavery reparations, which all the candidates did in the debate at the DuSable Museum.

If they ever decide to redistribute wealth based on race, I am out of this town. Taxpayers are the real slaves...

Del Valle gets my vote. I'd rather vote for someone who I think would be ethical and develop a good working relationship with the city council.  It certainly doesn't hurt that he's taken a positive stance on bike and ped issues - much more than the other candidates.

Braun has plenty of empathy but no substance and a poor track record on actually getting things done.  I think Chico would be capable, but he's been promising the moon on a lot of things without as much realism on how to pay for them.  Emanuel just comes across as slimy.  I don't trust him at all.

I don't like any of these people, but criticizing them for taking money from the suburbs is a bit much. People in the suburbs tend to be part of the city, whether because they work or own a business or what have you. Even if they aren't, they have interests here, no reason for them not to buy politicians like everyone else. The out of state money is a whole different thing, of course.

This video breaks down the candidates on corruption and transparency and is really well done.  Made by an unpaid concerned citizen who cares about his city.

I just wanted to say thanks for posting that, it was a well-made, well-argued video. 

 

It didn't really convince me to vote for Del Valle since it didn't address my personal concerns and I don't weight various issues the same as the filmmaker, but that's irrelevant since I've already voted anyway.  If anybody's still up in the air about who to vote for I recommend watching this, it makes a good, calm, reasonable case for Del Valle and doesn't descend at all into the "I'm right and righteous and anyone who disagrees with me is stupid and horrible" tone that I expected.
