Jack Franks Concedes Election to Mike Buehler — 21 Comments

  1. I do think that Cal might get a little bored with Jack out of the picture…

    Just a little.

  2. Nice. Time to move forward. BUT. Still. Trust no Democrat, ever. Consider the head of the snakes, Barak Hussein Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and the Trojan Horse, Biden.

  3. Tremendous news!

    My husband and I volunteered for the Republican candidates (nothing fancy) and it feels good to know we did our part.

    Mike will do a great job.

  4. Glad to see Franks do the right thing and concede, so the transition can start.

    Buehler will take office at the first of December.

    For the first time in 22 years, Jack Franks lost an election.

    He’s only in his late 50s and living on a GARS pension, and in spite of the life-change he’s going through both politically and personally, unless he moves away, he may still do something in politics.

    Given the Republican wipe outs in Lake, DuPage and Kane counties, McHenry County is the only collar county with a Republican majority on its county board, with a Republican elected board chairman.

    Additionally, all county elected positions are Republican.

  5. I’d like to formally announce my retirement as Franks’ chief shill.

    Of course, it would be rude to not say goodbye to a few friends….

    Questioning – aka Joe Tirio – I’ll never forget the day I figured out your handle because you were the only person ever to comment, “maybe it’s time for Joe Tirio to run for Chairman?” It wasn’t time then, and it never will be.

    Mark – I truly loved your ability to copy paste. You are second to none in ability to plagiarize.

    Cindy – You were the nuttiest Trump supporter out there and I enjoy, to this day, having called you “pond scum.”Don’t ever stop living up to your nickname.

    Priest – You were an impenetrable adversary, mainly because your head is impenetrable.

    Angel – did you, or did you not predict the rise of tik tok? Tik tok, meow??

    Duncan McHenry – I’ll always wonder where you went, but have to believe it was 100 mph on that motorcycle from your FB picture.

    Tonya Franklin – Whatever opioid den you find yourself in today, I hope it’s a warm one.

    To Fierebras – Aka Jack Schaefer – Just go to Florida already.

    And Cal, we have never had the pleasure to sit down and break bread.

    In the twilight of your blogging career, never forget that every Illinois politician has a penchant for good deep in their heart, except you Cal; you have a pension used for blogging.

    Best of luck to the rest of you – especially Gasbag.

  6. Don’t listen to him Mike.

    The only thing you can learn from him is how to be an asshole.

  7. Franks will now set his sights on The US Congress!

    As a fake Blue Dog Democrat.

    But his past will haunt him.

  8. Fair Play, as Peter Austin, the fellow who uses Oil of Olay facially, I bid thee adieu.

    And good riddance.

  9. Perhaps Franks and Little Eddie can now go on that overdue road trip they’ve
    been longing for. Route 66 2020 – what a gas ! 😃

  10. Awwwww Fair, I’m touched.

    I think you’re one of two supporters of Jack openly who made one cogent point in all your comment history.

    Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and again.

    I can’t wait to drop you from my payroll.

    Take up weather forecasting.

    They’re wrong constantly and have jobs too.

  11. Progressives will remember any McHenry County Democrats who told them to not primary challenge Jack Franks.

    Progressives will remember any McHenry County Democrats who told them to not bring up #metoo and Jack Franks.

    Progressives will remember how the “wise elders” of the establishment went with Franks.

    Progressives will remember how Jack Franks lost.

    Progressives will be mad at themselves for selling out and then losing anyway.

    But most of all, progressives will be mad at patronizing Democrats who pretend to know what’s best.

    McHenry County Democrats have a long history of trying to intimidate their PC to do the bidding of the party masters.

    Democrats have fewer PC this year than they did in 2018.

    Do you know why?

    Because people decided they didn’t want to deal with the THUGS of the McHenry County Democratic Party anymore.

  12. We are taking our county back starting with Mike Buehler.

    CONGRTULATIONS.

  13. Unfortunately half the GOP county ‘bored’ are total RINOs.

    Buehler get the charcoal ready for roasting them out if their mole hills.

    Start with Prim and Baby Jung.
