Chicago's Wackizany Republicans

More out of ancient habit than anything else, once in a blue moon I go to the Chicago and Cook County Republican websites to see what those clowns are up to now -- and they never disappoint.

Just to give you an idea as to how execrably useless and absurd Chicago's Republican activists are, I am reprinting below an exchange that occured in The Chicago Republican, the official site of the Chicago Republican Party, Eloise Gerson, Chairman.

The bizarre exchange of comments begins with a criticism of the blog piece's author and then devolves into absolute weirdness.

What is truly odd is that this exchange took place over a period of 10 months, when apparently these Republican dynamos had nothing better to command their energies.

Read it and weep:

Great interview, Lila!

I had the misfortune of dating the above poster. Gary needs to get some help so he can have an accurate perception of reality. Seriously, he just kinda forgot he had a warrant for his arrest for contempt of court! I tried to help him after he allegedly got evicted from his apt - fed, clothed, bought him medicine - but it was all based on a lie. He even tried to con me into marrying him! He KNEW he had a warrant after convincing me that all was A-OK with the courts and was finally arrested for it on 8/8/11. How humiliating! No wonder he never even tried to get a job! An employer would have reported his whereabouts to the child support agency! He even lied about his birthday (most likely because he knows I do background checks on anyone I date). That's what I get for trying to help a so-called "friend." He can go play the "I'm a poor little victim" game someplace else!

Wow. Jennifer Brower of Naperville, I think it best that you should have stayed on Xanax and Lithium for your Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Going off your medication and creating wild stories like this and being involved with your ex-husband the Nazi (see here http://onepeoplesproject.com/i...&Itemid=14), you should be seeking therapy!

LOL the “Conservative” Welfare King Baby Daddy owes his CHILD over $100K and dares to question my honor? Gary, who fed and clothed you, bought you medicine, and made sure that you weren't homeless in the winter while YOU were supposed to be looking for work? I did more for you than you ever did for your awesome daughter! She is a great person & deserves better!

It's amusing that the deadbeat dad dares to bring up MY divorce? You sound bitter like Marianne Gingrich does now that Newt doesn't support her anymore! Yeah, my ex-husband of a year turned out to be a loathsome National Socialist abusive mamzer piglet. So, I got a restraining order & divorced the bum. I also talked to the proper authorities and helped to ensure that no National Socialist group would thrive in the Chicago area. I turned a bad situation into a good one AND my daughter respects me for it. YOU, however, are the same deadbeat jailbird who refuses to live up to your responsibilities. How dare you call yourself Conservative when you refuse to work and rely on the government to support you! Gary, be a man, get a job and take care of your kid. You disgust me.

Jennifer Brower of Naperville, you misrepresented yourself as a Christian. You have not belonged to a CHRISTIAN CHURCH for several years. You belong to the Free Masons, an occult that worships all the worlds religions including Satanism. Not once did you ever sing or worship the Lord in church - a southern baptist church. You defend your LIBERAL sister and YOUR LIBERAL mother.

GO TO HELL BITCH! FUCK YOU!

Jennifer Brower belongs to the Free Mason occult, the one that worships all world religion including Satanism and is pushing for the one world order. Not once did you ever worship Jesus in church. You are also a confirmed NAZI sympathizer and very sick in the head with your Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It isn't right that you spread lies about a guy who dated you a few times and you are jaded that I rejected you!

This exchange is apparently ongoing and can be viewed in all its inanity at the Chicago Republican site.

Is it any wonder that this is an indisputably one-party Democrat town?

A Tale of Two Chicago Party Headquarters

A few years back I had the experience of travelling down to Chicago's 11th Ward. That's essentially Bridgeport and the Back of the Yards and is the home base of the Daley clan, Michael Bilandic and legions of prominent Democrat City jobholders, contractors and Federal indictees (the subsets of which have often overlapped.)

While there, I was amazed to get an eyeful of the 11th Ward Democratic Organization headquarters. Having spent much of my wayward youth wandering in and out of various suburban and city Township and Ward political HQs, this was truly stunning to me. I had never seen anything like it.

It is a 2 story concrete free-standing, edifice with "Democrat Organization of the 11th Ward," prominently etched right into the crown of the building. It evoked an image of solidity and confidence and permanence--kind of like a bank building in the era before banks decided to operate out of checkout lines at the local Jewel Supermarket (The bank? Take a left at the Deli Counter, a right at produce and it's there at the end next to the cumquats.)

This was a truly stunning building. If not for the identification etched into the stone, it could easily have passed for the main post office in Appleton, WI.

And mind you, this was only a Ward party headquarters. The Cook County Democratic headquarters occupies a suite of offices at a respectable building in the loop.

Fast forward to the new shared headquarters of the Cook County Republican Organization/Republican Party of Chicago.

It recently moved to a hole-in-the-wall storefront at 1549 W. Blackhawk.

Huh?

You need a mapquest search to find that it is a 3 block long side street that juts off of Ashland Ave. in the congested, hipster-doofus, Wicker Park neighborhood.

The office itself is a single room in a storefront beneath a 1910 vintage apartment building, complete with iron fire-escape ladders. I speculate that it must have once been home to the local cobbler or perhaps seamstress.

It contains 2 1/2 desks, a conference table, a 1-seater powder room and (for some inexplicable reason) a big screen TV. There are 6 parking meters out front to accomdate the half-dozens of party activists who may choose to visit.

There is no sign -- the makeshift one they had out front, I am told, was ripped down by the local hipster-doofuses and never replaced.

This pathetic little hovel represents the Republican party's retreat from decades of operating out of one or another respectable loop address, last one having been on West Washington -- as might befit the local outpost of a major national political party.

This eccentric choice of locale, was apparently dictated by the fact that the building is owned by Eloise Gerson, 42nd GOP Ward Committeeman and Chairman of the Chicago Republican Party, the latter being a largely ceremonial title. Presumably she takes a tax writeoff in return for donating the essentially unrentable space.

What is actually a little outrageous about this absurd location, aside from the fact that there is no actual parking for visitors, is that it is literally miles from any actual Republican voters and activists (if there still are any.)

Those few stalwarts left in the city are congregated in the far-Northwest side 41st Ward (which has the lone Republican Alderman) or on the far Southwest side in Cong. Dan Lipinski's district.

Of course to locate their headquarters in either of those realms, after retreating from the respectability of the Loop, would imply some shred of common sense on the part of Cook County and Chicago Republicans.

No wonder the denizens of the formidable stone edifice in Bridgeport smugly deride Republicans as "the stupid party."
