Arrogance,Waukegan and the Internet

[s.wonder]

Crew wants to educate us? I think the crew might just be the ones who need an education. Sam Cuntingham - give me a break - I've been watching him since before he was sworn in as alderman so I know him well. There is nothing anyone, including Sam hisself, could tell me about him that would change my opinion of him. You can't negate years and years of the incompetent visionless low expectations that are Sam. Same thing goes for Hyde. There is no way I would ever vote for either of them for mayor..... even if the opposition was a turd.

The idea behind CREW is that citizens educate themselves. Citizens make an informed decision on their choice of candidate when they have had a chance to listen to ALL of the candidates. It really serves no purpose to offensively deride individual candidates; as well as being highly discourteous, it educates absolutely no-one.

Kirsty,
pardon me for being so bold but you need to read the posts of your co crew member Steve Kolber. Contrary to your more reasonable version, he, in supreme arrogant fashion, has said that:

“The intent is truly to educate the electorate as to the most qualified choice, and do what it takes as an organized and focused group to place that individual into office.”

And again, Steve, in full pomousity:

“Our sole task is to energize, enlighten and motivate the voters en masse to get behind a single qualified candidate who we feel has the passion, integrity and vision to lead our City”

I’m sorry but I don’t need an annoying putz like Steve Kolber to enlighten me let alone motivate me to get behind a candidate of his choosing.

Furthermore, there are many reasons people vote for a candidate. Being informed on specific issues is simply not that important to many voters here in Waukegan.
