It is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. In the past when grassroot GOP candidates have the support of the people the local party turns their back on them. <br /><br />And we say Township government is screwed up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-54362498308098246732015-01-19T18:21:52.733-05:002015-01-19T18:21:52.733-05:00Update: The Chamber has a candidate tooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-70860011542916430832015-01-19T17:09:45.014-05:002015-01-19T17:09:45.014-05:00I would love to see Olgen Williams run against Andre Carson.

And nothing was said about Olgen by Anon 10:59 that was negative and no reference was made to his race. Maybe Pete Boggs and Anon 1:26 are the true racists displaying their prejudice today on MLK day.

Probably more likely to play their game as long as there&#39;s something in it for him too. Despite his past he could be less of a liability for the elitists than an unknown candidate with a strong moral compass. Toss him some campaign capital and see where it leads.

A culture of possibility &amp; success is one of redemption. Deputy Mayor Williams accepted the judgement of peers &amp; paid his debt in full; meaning it&#39;s cancelled, except as a counterfeit currency of bigotry...<br /><br />Upon what platform of piety does the &quot;ideal&quot; candidate stand, unburdened by any need for redemption? <br /><br />Judge Deputy Mayor Williams on his platform &amp; record of service; military, pastoral &amp; public.<br /> Pete Boggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12948800585492289789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-15159197843478892402015-01-19T10:59:28.447-05:002015-01-19T10:59:28.447-05:00Olgen Williams is a convicted felon. But, many in your audience bet that many (most?) of the GOP city councilors (except Ms. Scales) could become convicted felons if only the FBI would dig deep enough. Federal investigators would need to look no further than those that stonewalled the ROC investigation.<br />Gary, what were their names again? <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-38720964546202421902015-01-19T10:07:43.929-05:002015-01-19T10:07:43.929-05:00Anon 9:50: Did you forget that Democrat &#39;Howdy Doody&#39; Hogsett is running for for mayor?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-83405235212697788402015-01-19T09:50:25.060-05:002015-01-19T09:50:25.060-05:00Maybe there are some other soundrels/candidates who are interested.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
