Suffredin's Ingenius Campaign

Larry Suffredin, one of the biggest Democrat Party Hacks in Illinois. He's running for Cook County State's Attorney. He has come up with an ingeniusly unoriginal campaign slogan:

"Taking on Guns and Corruption for a change"

WFT? Politicians have been taking on guns and corruption - although not always together - for decades. So really, this is not original. Therefore, it is not a "change." Or are we misreading the sign? Perhaps the sign should say:

"For a change, I'm Taking on Corruption"

But Suffredin's slogan is ingenius in spite of it's unoriginality, and despite it's dishonesty. It is ingenius because it hits two major hot buttons with one phrase. And the Sheeple of Cook County have demonstrated repeatedly that they are stupid enough as a group to swallow it.

But not all of us will swallow it. Fellow blogger Lafew writes that Suffredin may have at least one conflict of interest:

Ironically, Larry Suffredin is still a "registered lobbyist" for the [Chicago Bar Association] according to State of Illinois records. Is there a connection in CBA's silence on whether Larry Suffredin is "Qualified" to serve as Cook County States Attorney, even though he may have never prosecuted a single case? Look at Lucky Larry's self proclaimed political resume. Is this a strength? A significant weakness? Is it a coincidence that the CBA is silenced by what seems like a conflict of interest? Is there a double standard? FULL POSTING...

If Suffredin was sincere about fighting corruption, how has he managed to stay silent for so long while his buddies, 49th Ward Alderman Joe Moore and 49th Ward Democrat Committeeman David Fagus have leaned on businesses and bent the polling booth rules for years and years? Suffredin is a liar, a hypocrite and another cog in the Machine. He's slippery. He's dangerous, and God help us if this guy gets into a position of real power. Of course, once he's in power, he will grab your legally owned guns. That'll just make it easier for his anti-liberty pals to complete their agenda of Total Control.
