Tonight I called up the Tom Roeser show (Political Shootout on WLS 890 AM) and got on the air as the last caller. Here’s basically what I said:
- I am a Big City Democrat
- I will take Mayor Daley over pretty much anybody
- I think Bill Clinton was the best President ever
- I am voting for Republican Tony Peraica for Cook County Board President and will try to convince everyone I know to do the same
Then Tom Roeser asked if I was Peraica’s brother-in-law. They laughed. Then I got cut off somewhere after I said that it was “time for a change” (despite the cliche) and that for all I know Peraica is corrupt too, but at least he’d be a change because these guys in there now are comPLETE crooks for sure. Not exactly certain when I got dinged, but it was the end of the show…
Here’s more of why I am voting for him:
- Todd Stroger, the Dem, is a hack/ crook/ undistinguished-same-old-story man
- Peraica says he will continue providing unfettered access to abortion and I believe him
- He’s a Roman Catholic Croation immigrant who is married to a Muslim woman. For all I know that may be deceiving, but to me it indicates an openness and tolerance
- He uses YouTube clips on his site
Onward and Forward with Tony Peraica!
