The Nazi running as a Republican in IL-03...

[Polishprince]

ok--Ill put it another way::
....so you agree, a lot of people that go to KKK meetings are not racist/bigots???? this is your reasoning...they go to the meetings/etc

Trinity Church is not the KKK.

why do you think people go to church???????!!!!!!!!!!!
they BELIEVE and practice what the preacher preaches

Meh, not really. Most of them just show up because it's something to do on Sunday... not because they agree with the pastor. Frankly, I've never gotten it... seems like the Sky pixie is a little needy if he has to take up an hour of your time every week.

Actually, there are plenty of uncontested congressional districts in America. And there would be more if individuals didn't put their own names at their own expense forward as the sole candidate for office in other districts.

But they knew the crackpot was running, it wasn't the first time he tried this, and they didn't bother to put up someone credible.

and 56,000 Republicans voted for him in the general election.

The Republicans didn't have anyone they thought could realistically expect to vanquish Mr. Lipinski. Putting up someone "credible" costs money- who would donate money for such a pointless exercise?

Apparently Jones was able to get the resources together to get on the ballot.... The guy is 70 and doesn't have a job. In fact, the GOP was able to keep him off the ballot in 2016.

Jones used his own money and efforts to get on the ballot. No one else wanted to because it was a pointless effort.

And since libs see all Republicans- even RINO McCain, or Milquetoast Boy Scott Romney as "nazis", I can't see how spending a fortune to contest this seat which wasn't going to flip anyhow would be money well spent.

They didn't have to spend a fortune.

Get one "non-Nazi" to run.
Make sure you have people show up to vote for him.

This isn't complicated.

Sure its complicated. Finding someone with their own time and resources to finance a hopeless Congressional campaign in a socialist city like Chicago? Granted, there are some people with a sufficient amount of vanity, but not that many and are hard to find in a Marxist hell hole like Chicago.

Remember its a hopeless cause, the candidate's a loser and the liberals will still call your party people "nazis" regardless.

 

[Polishprince]

BTW, the Democrat Party not only nominated by FINANCED and supported an islamonazi wife beater to be Attorney General in Minnesota. They nominated and financed an accused pervert for US Senator accused of patronizing child prostitutes in the 3rd World in New Jersey. That's a lot worse than Arthur Jones who is an elderly man in his dotage who has never actually committed crimes against humanity, and who the GOP didn't finance or spend a nickel on.

 

[Lesh]

Republicans elected two indicted corrupt Congressman (Hunt and Collins)...and then there is Steve King...a guy even their own party acknowledges is a bigot

Oh and lets's not forget Gianforte...infamous for body slamming a reporter who asked an uncomfortable question

Okay, let's look at that. Here are the Chicago Districts. Most of these have more terrirtory in Chicago than the third does.

1st District
Jimmy Lee Tillman II - Ballotpedia

2nd District
David Merkle - Ballotpedia

4th District
Mark Wayne Lorch - Ballotpedia

5th District
Tom Hanson - Ballotpedia


7th District
Craig Cameron - Ballotpedia

Guess what, none of these guys have a chance of winning, and not a one of them was called a Nazi for his troubles.

anyone who says "Islamonazi" with a straight face has forfeited any right to be taken seriously.

now, when you prove any of those things in court, let me know.

so what? There are definitely some people out there who are vain enough to self finance a pointless campaign for Congress, but there wasn't one in the Illinois 3rd. Maybe one of these guys can run in the 3rd in 2020 if they want to do it again?

Point was, the GOP had no problem finding candidates in those other districts, and they went with the Nazi.

Sadly, the GOP is finding itself the home of Nazis more and more.

They didn't "go with" the nazi at all. Jones, as well as the candidates in the other hopeless Chicago districts were self-selected and self financed. And since Illinois is an open primary state, any Democrat can also go in and ask for the GOP ballot to give it to this character.

 

[flacaltenn]

Still managed to get 56,000 votes yesterday...

Those votes are not an endorsement of Nazis or WhSuprem. They are the sad result of political gerrymandering where the 2 Brand Name parties leave about 7 to 12% of their seats UNFILLED and UNCONTESTED... Both parties do this. And they disenfranchise and abandon their constituents in those districts. They only care about winnable races.

So -- those votes are "idiot" votes. The folks that pull the lever for their party without any knowledge of the issues and the candidates. Or folks ATTEMPTING to cast votes for someone other than the incumbent. Because it was never a "race". It's a one party UNDEMOCRATIC district.

Just a symptom of the ridiculous state of affairs when only TWO parties are in contention or considered "winnable". Not EVEN an Independent choice on the 3rd district ballot.

If the system was healthy, one districts would HAVE competition from independents and 3rd parties with VALID candidate choices on the ballot. Why even VOTE -- if there's no selection of viable candidates?

Bullshit. They ABANDONED the district. Like many districts were abandoned by the Dems. What's the sense of DEPENDING on just 2 parties if they just elect to lose in "unwinnable" districts?

Your party is the one that let him take a nomination for Congress... they couldn't even find a birthday clown to run for that seat this year.

No, seriously, the GOP has run birthday clowns for that seat in the past.

And 56,000 Republicans STILL voted for him. Against a dishrag that can barely be classified as a Democrat.

Let him?
Are you saying you support Hillary and the DNC quashing Bernie Sanders?

This *IS* a free country right? So an open racists bigot, still has the right to run, and people have the right to vote, do they not?

See, your attitude is exactly why Trump got elected. You keep trying to impose tyranny, and you drive people into the camps of these crazies.

Neither party "elects to lose" in unwinnable districts, they just realize that some districts are unwinnable. And it not just the parties, its those folks who might consider becoming a candidate.

What would the point be for a Republican to pay a filing fee and collect signatures to run for mayor of Detroit or Chicago?

I suppose if he wanted to write a book about it, liked to see his name on the ballot and was a vain individual, sure. But he will realize that he will never serve, no matter how much money he has to waste on the effort.

Explain to me how abandoning a district and not fielding or supporting a candidate choice on a ballot IS NOT -- electing to lose...

One party blue districts only really discourage Repubs. The RIGHT independent (an alternate Dem even running as Independent --- OR -- a Bernie supporter) for instant WOULD have a chance against a poor incumbent.

What would the point be for a Republican to pay a filing fee and collect signatures to run for mayor of Detroit or Chicago?

That's like saying you don't open a Wendy's because it's a McDonald's town. MAKE THE FUCKING EFFORT. Represent the CHOICE on the ballot. Surely you don't really think it's politically healthy to EAT only McDonalds.

Ballots without viable COMPETITION is sign of political rot. Elections are not about WINNING. They are about principles and debate. You allow the 2 Brand Name parties to gerrymander the map and there is NO NEED FOR ELECTIONS.

Money should go on principles. Votes should be cast on principles.

California is now a defacto One Party tyranny. The Dems have whole hog ABANDONED the South and abused it as political weapon. Leaving the 30 to 40% of their constituency completely disenfranchised. The country can't take much more of that. And the lack of DEBATE and discussion of principles just feeds the polarization and division that they desire.

 

[flacaltenn]

What would the point be for a Republican to pay a filing fee and collect signatures to run for mayor of Detroit or Chicago?

The 2 Brand New parties have rigged the ballot access so that they don't NEED to collect signatures. Whereas any 3rd party would have to leap that hurdle. And the filing fee is about $50 in most places. That's why a Nazi with NO BACKING can be on as a Repub in District 3..

But it would cost a Libertarian or Green Party candidate about $15,000 to collect those signatures . If the 2 parties elect to NOT TO COMPETE in a District -- 3rd party access should be allowed to proceed without the signature collection..

How The GOP Ended Up With An Avowed Nazi As Its Nominee For A House Seat

Thanks to some procedural maneuvering by Jones and the Illinois GOP’s botched opportunities to block his campaign, this avowed white nationalist will appear on the November ballot on the Republican Party ticket in the safely blue 3rd Congressional District. Jones doesn’t pose a real threat to Democratic incumbent Rep. Dan Lipinski, but his campaign has forced both the state and national GOP to answer, yet again, for the openly racist candidates running in the party’s name.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) entered the fray late last week, urging Illinois voters to either “write in another candidate, or vote for the Democrat.”

“This bigoted fool should receive ZERO votes,” Cruz declared.

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner on Tuesday declined to follow in Cruz’s footsteps by boosting Lipinski, but urged Jones to drop out of the race because “there is no room in our politics for a person like that.”

But out of concern for appearing to enable a Nazi’s campaign, the Illinois GOP has launched an anti-Jones messaging campaign, conducting robocalls, sending out mailers, and condemning his views in statement after statement.

“The Illinois Republican Party and our country have no place for Nazis like Arthur Jones. We strongly oppose his racist views and his candidacy for any public office, including the 3rd Congressional District,” Illinois Republican Party Chairman Tim Schneider told TPM via email on Thursday.


Such is the STUPIDITY of Repubs. Would have cost them less court time and advertising and grief to SIMPLY RUN A CANDIDATE.. They're massive idiots.

Or they could find someone who is a hardcore marxist type to run as a "D" in one of their safe districts the Democrat Party is ignoring. Two can play this game.

Running a Democrat Party candidate who is a doctrinaire Marxist advocating for Antifa and gulags and idolizing Yezhov and Beria could be a very good selling point against other candidates on the ticket.
