I'm posting my diary here because of
This Pie Fight, in which a fellow Kossack was mercilessly attacked by certain DLC-Leaning Partisan HACK Kossacks, for (God Forbid) stating his own personal beliefs. Sadly, many of those HACKS
don't even live in ILLINOIS, let alone DuPage County.
This will be my last word on the IL-06 Primary. In fact, I probably won't even read or respond to comments. Why? Because doing so has become futile...Especially here at dKos, where the blogs have been hijacked by said Partisan Hacks, who (shamefully) have no interest in REAL Reform.
Allow me to share with you what is REALITY...HERE ON THE GROUND...In DuPage County:
Last Saturday the DuPage County Democratic Chairman, to her credit, held a "Unity Breakfast", to try and bring the "warring factions" from IL-06 and IL-13 together for the General Election.
I did not attend. However, a delegation of Cegelis supporters DID attend, and actively tried to extend an olive branch to the Duckworth campaign. It didn't go well. I was briefed afterwards as follows:
Tammy herself was very gracious. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for her staff. Especially her campaign mgr. (David Lebreton) and another Duckworth staffer named Joe Schafer. The fact of the matter is that, by and large, they treated the Cegelis folks like DOG SHIT!
They were rude, condescending, arrogant and disrespectful. They rebuffed ALL attempts at diplomacy, and made it very clear that they didn't need or want the Cegelis folks' help, now or in the future. This is exactly what I've come to expect, over the last decade or so, from Rahm and his "clones".
So the fact of the matter is that we are not wanted or needed by the powers that be, despite all the lip service you may hear to the contrary.
By all means, Partisan DLC Hacks, feel free to Flame Away! As for me and most of my colleagues, we're moving on...Head Held HIGH!
THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is REALITY, HERE AT "GROUND ZERO"...And that's all I have to say.
