Chris Kennedy is an exceptionally nice man. Like many liberals of the old cloth (Don Rose, the late great Phil Krone & etc.) Chris Kennedy belies the conservative mind-set of intolerant automatons in lock -step with Marxism, Planned Parenthood and Globalism. Rather Mr. Kennedy is an active do-gooder who walks the talk.
In my two decades and change of work for Leo High School, I have encountered Chris Kennedy and his kids quietly delivering goods and services to people in and around 79th Street, right in Pflegerland between Ashland and Halsted. Unlike the blonde Jesus who rules St. Sabina like a political ward healer, who never clears his throat, nor breaks wind without CBS,ABC,NBC, WGN, Tribune, Chicago Sun Times and Windy City Times acolytes holding back dozen or so nodding activists around Pastor Pfleger, the son of RFK does good without fanfare, applause and hack reporters.
That said, Chris Kennedy tows the Durbin Dogma too much for my liking.
I understand that. Chris Kennedy, an Irish Catholic, is not like me, or most of the people (white black, Mexican, ethnic) I encounter. He comes from the Lace-Curtain traditions that eschew rock-ribbed core values as obnoxiously quaint. He is a PBS Catholic, stamped and approved by Bill Moyers. His politics is not unlike many of the people in the more comfortable Zip Codes - Chris Kennedy is much more of 60643 than he is a 60620, or 60655.
My temperament has been formed by my faith, family and friends. Please note, that I might be the only member of my vast to have not cast a vote for Barack Obama and hurled one into the mix for Donald Trump. I vote Catholic, organized labor and working class values. Lately, I have voted for Republicans but I largely loathe the GOP as party of the Quisling tasseled loafer crowd ( Bruuce Rauner, Mark Kirk, Judy Barr Topinka, Chuck Percy, John McCain and John Boehner) and for Socialists (Bernie and Chewy Garcia).
Can you say"Property Taxes?" Chris Kennedy called our Cook County/Madiganistan system "extortion."The Democrats only have them to bleed and nothing else and Chris Kennedy has criticized County and State abuses. The is sucking dry!
The only GOP voice in Illinois that registers with me is Rep. Jeannie Ives.
Jeannie Ives has more balls than a bowling alley, if may hazard an indelicate metaphor in her praise.
Because the media is feasting on Chris Kennedy's liver, because he has offended the Cook County Democratic Titans and shall be cast eternally into the chthonic depths of Tartarus, or Peotone, maybe, that I am moved to shout for all and sundry within my limited sphere to vote for him against JB Pritzker, The Michigan Avenue Fats of the Pritzker pedigree,
Today the Chicago Tribune lifted a story from Ohio that was all the news back in July, in order to gin up some Chris Kennedy hate. Maybe SEIU can get the huge Rat put up in front of the Merchandise Mart.
It may take the Sun Times a day or two to catch up, because Sneed is working to help Kimm Fox.
If the media is piling on Chris Kennedy, I am all for him
I'd vote for Chris Kennedy.
I probably will take a GOP ballot to make sure that Jeannie Ives takes down Bruce Rauner.
