Black conservative brow-beaten into silence by Chicago Machine
Conservative Examiner ^ | July 11 | Robert Moon

Posted on 07/11/2010 6:01:27 PM PDT by curth

The same mafia-style Chicago thugocracy that got Obama into his state senate seat (by elbowing all his opponents off the ballot with an army of lawyers seizing on bogus technicalities) is now using the same brutal gutter tactics to silence an electrifying black conservative.

State senate candidate Cedra Crenshaw of Bolingbrook, Illinois is a brilliant, Tea Party-backed patriot who champions the free market, limited government, and legitimately got herself on the ballot with the required number of signatures.

But the Chicago Machine is threatened by her, so it hired some of Barack Obama's lawyers to force her out. The will of the people be damned.

Megyn Kelly needs to know about these *technicalities* and put her in touch with J. Christian Adams.

Obamas bastardization of the Constitution shall come back to bite him in the ass. The Constitution was ordained, this bastard is twisting to Satan’s delight. Time is on our side.

The trifecta of marriage, mortgage, and motherhood catapulted her into the independent thinker that she is today.

Calling Palin, Sarah Palin... One of your mama grizzlies could use some help.

The Uncle Toms’s are not the black conservatives as purported by the MSM but actually people like 0bama, Jesse Jack@$$ who are bought and sold by the Jim Crow plantation. Black people need to wake up and become aware the liberals are not their friends but are the same old Jim Crow type of people using B.S. subtle racism to keep them down versus the open, blatant racism after the civil war.

The Democratic Party is a self-imposed slavery for black people. My hat is off to any black person with the courage to be free of that evil master. It isn’t easy.

Well, she is asking for an audit of Illinois finances.

A Forensic Audit. :-)

The same thing happened in my IL state Senate district a few years ago. The Madigan-selected RAT incumbent is a Lipinski style centrist Dem who is very difficult to defeat because he has a big "aw shucks" bear-hugger personality and talks very conservative in public. Then a local group of Republicans found a saavy GOP candidate (Bob Shelstorm) on the horizon who started to create a buzz. He announced his candidacy and went around the district making the case that our state Senator may be a hell of a nice guy, but he switches his vote to do the Chicago machine's bidding when needed to pass socialist legislation. He exposed our "conservative" Dem Senator's gun-grabbing record and abymal ratings from pro-taxpayer groups. Suburbanites (the bulk of the district) started to turn against our normally popular Senator.

Enter the Chicago machine's lawyers and they promptly sent in an army of guys to nitpick Shelstorm's filing records and kick him off the ballot, even though he got well over the required number of signatures and had legitimately filed (something ridiculous like he had filled out page two in blue ink instead of black ink). Of course all the judges in Crook Co. are Daley-approved Chicago machine hacks, and the judge sided with the RAT lawyers. My Dem State Senator then ran for re-election unopposed on the ballot.

Shelstorm tried again two years later (my state central committeemen called me and asked for advise on whether she should slate Shelstorm or me, and I said I would agree to run but that Shelstorm would probably be a stronger candidate so I'd defer to him), and this time got himself slated by the state party AFTER the primary to surprise and RATs and eliminate the opportunity for any voter lists for the RAT lawyers to nitpick. Incredibly, they found a way to kick off the ballot AGAIN anyway, finding a technicality wrong with the state GOP's perfectly legitimate appointment paperwork (think Frank Lautenberg in reverse). Shelstorm then filed as a write-in candidate, and got a few hundred signatures, but it was a virtually insurmontable obstacle to win with the RAT unopposed on ballot.

Of course all those "abolish the 17th amendment" advocates say we should pay no attention to rigged elections, gerrymandered districts, and legal dirty tricks that ensure the outcome of our state legislature races are predetermined in most cases. Why, if we foolish voters would just pay more attention to the candidates on the ballot, we'll elect a decent limited government consitutional legislature. Sure.

The army of lawyers working for Mark Kirk is going after Randy Stufflebeam next, even though he too filed more than twice the number of signatures to get on the ballot and preemptively tried to starve off a challenge by striking out the bad signatures before he filed. But I wouldn't put it past them if they find a way in denying voters a voice in that race, too. Kirk had a conservative third party challenger for Congress in 2008 (Allen Stevo), who was promptly removed by Kirk's goons.

All of the freepers who say democracy is bad and needs to be eliminated might consider moving to King Richie Daley's monarchy in Chicago. They'd get their wish.

One of the people who copied the Constitution Party petitions was John Fogarty. When I tried to run for state rep., Fogarty was the lawyer for my objector. The objector was a next-door neighbor of my RINO opponent who was endorsed by Pat Brady, Tom Cross, and Elizabeth Coulson.

Chicago area democrats and (and RINOs too it seems) have done this to countless candidates. Another trick is just to run plants as Republicans.

It’s kinda like Nazi Germany before Hitler officially banned all opposition.

The Illinois Republican Party is doing the SAME DARN THING to other candidates, WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE??

They are trying to throw them off the Ballot, WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE??

Such Hypocrites!

It’s terrible when you do it to me, but I can do it to everyone else is the message!

Remember, The Republican PArty put out this e-mail:

This is the entire text of the Republican email:

From: Republican Organization of Lyons Township <> Subject: Attention EVERY Republican! To: Date: Sunday, June 20, 2010, 12:55 PM

The Illinois GOP is diverting all efforts to challenge those candidates’ petitions that may have a negative impact on OUR Republican nominees (it is our belief that these candidates will steal votes from Republicans.) Starting Tuesday through Saturday it is a must that we fill up all terminals.

All the Committeemen, Precinct Captains and Republicans (County, township and ward) statewide are being asked to divert their time and volunteers to this effort. We have 25 terminals and must fill those throughout the week to achieve victory in 2010.

This information is time sensitive – -One hour or two hours is needed CALL NOW.

For more information or to help in this effort, please contact ASAP:

Lyons Township contact: Ray Hodson 0r John Small Precinct Captain Coordinators

or

Jonathan Callaway Director of Volunteers Cook County Republican Party

Thank you. Executive Committee Republican Organization of Lyons Township

WELL they may not like Obama as their President, but they SURE like Obama’s style!!

To ensure that the Cook Co. GOP has more conservative leaders, we should ensure that conservatives run for ward committeeman, in all 50 Chicago wards, in the March 2012 primary. Carl Segvich, the 11th Ward committeeman, is conservative, but I don’t know of any other conservative ward committeemen.
