Here’s another in a series of communications that will be aimed at 52nd District voters between now and the election.
It links Independent Dee Beaubien to Democratic Party Chairman and House Speaker Mike Madigan.
Here’s the address side:
On the address side of his latest m mailing, David McSweeney quotes big Dee Beaubien supporter Democratic Party House Speaker Mike Madigan’s calling for higher school property taxes to pay for teacher pensions outside of Chicago and asks, “Why is EXTREME LIBERAL Dee Beaubien running a negative and misleading campaign?”
On the back McSweeney explains what Democrat Madigan has in mind concerning shifting the Downstate Teachers Retirement System’s unfunded liability to local school districts.
I find the hand putting a Dee Beaubien letter back in a mailbox with the message “Return to Sender” amusing.
A stern-faced Mike Madigan’s visage peers out of the mailing. “She says she is a fiscal conservative, but she has accepted financial and campaign help from Madigan. This will make her beholden to him if she is elected,” the Northwest Herald is editorial endorsement is quoted.
Always amusing when a politician complains his opponent is running a “Negative campaign” in a mailing that is all criticism of that opponent and not a word about anything he himself would do.
Yea… McSweeney criticizing anyone for running a negative campaign is really rich.
He ran a filthy negative campaign against Gaffney, and is doing the same thing against Beaubien.
So, by McSweeney’s logic, McSweeney must be hiding something, right? He’s probably hiding his extremist positions on, well, pretty much everything.
Maybe McSweeney is trying to hide from his roots as Bank of Americas “ENRON” Banker.
That’s right, he was in charge of lending money to swindlers who stole millions of retirement accounts and investors everywhere.
How much money do you think he made off of ENRON?
Are McSweeney’s chances exactly the same as Joe Walsh’s. Yep.
