I found your site and now know why Seals won't show up - but may still take Rangel's dirty money. <BR/><BR/>We will still be there, photographing everything. <BR/>Most expect Rangel to be indicted soon in the Southern District of New York.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-35609252563299896242008-08-06T16:45:00.000-05:002008-08-06T16:45:00.000-05:00Thanks Anon 4:39- how was his showing?The question...Thanks Anon 4:39- how was his showing?<BR/><BR/>The question then becomes, if he was in LF this morning, where will he show tonight- Chicago or New York?

Perhaps he's already on his way to NY for the Rangel lovefest. But, I heard through the grapevine that some Chicago politician is throwing an event for Seals tonight as well. If that's correct, wonder which event Seals will go to. The timing is interesting... why would Seals book something the same night as his big Rangel coming-out party, unless... could it be... that we've gotten inside Seals' head and he's afraid to go to NY after all? Wonder when that Chicago event was set up...<BR/><BR/>Hopefully I'll have more details on all of this soon...Team Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15035504738668036802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-37588932291894501302008-08-06T14:18:00.000-05:002008-08-06T14:18:00.000-05:00Great reporting TA - agree with sinkpack/fox on MS...Great reporting TA - agree with sinkpack/fox on MSM - way too afraid to report the facts. <BR/><BR/>I find it absolutely mind boggling that Congressman Kirk, who clearly works extremely hard and has solved more of the problems facing the 10th than any representative or senator has, should even have to worry about a candidate that has been unemployed for two years and lives on the dollars of his donors. <BR/><BR/>As to Charlie Rangel and company, well there are clearly two sets of rules in this country - one for the Dems and one for the GOP. His base will continue to elect him because 1) criminal activity is culturally accepted and 2) the ends justifies the means. As long as Charlie reminds his constituents that noone else will "take care of them" - he's in.<BR/><BR/>Didn't see Seals this morning in Lake Forest, he may have been hiding...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-39384043555563420432008-08-06T13:18:00.000-05:002008-08-06T13:18:00.000-05:00Charlie gives all Democrats money.He gave Melissa ...Charlie gives all Democrats money.<BR/>He gave Melissa Bean 4K in September.

I'm a...Sinkpack/Fox- that's an excellent question. I'm assuming for now that the ethical challenges of a far-off congressman, like Rangel, and his strong ties to Dan Seals, and Seals' track record of buddying up to such folks such as Creamer and Rosty is all just too much work for our local MSM to follow, even though we've laid it out for them. <BR/><BR/>Remember how much it took for the MSM to finally get the Rezko story straight? Or Seals' own professor-gate story? We literally pounded the professor-gate story for MONTHS before the MSM took some notice.<BR/><BR/>When it comes down to it, this is not as simple as someone getting arrested for DUI on the Edens. It takes some time to understand the implications, and then make it understandable to the average reader. But that doesn't make it any less important.<BR/><BR/>I predict that if Seals continues to take large sums from Rangel, and Rangel gets indicted, you will see some coverage, and it will end by Seals claiming (and channeling Barack) that "this wasn't the Charlie Rangel I knew" as he returns the cash. Or, maybe he will be too desperate to return what will amount to, by that time, multiple tens of thousands of dollars in dirty money.<BR/><BR/>At that point, maybe the clear choice 10th Dist. voters will have will finally crystalize enough even for the MSM to figure it out. <BR/><BR/>BTW- LOL, Anon 12:42!Team Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15035504738668036802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-7323936704628573392008-08-06T01:21:00.000-05:002008-08-06T01:21:00.000-05:00TA,Why do you think the MSM is afraid to touch thi...TA,<BR/><BR/>Why do you think the MSM is afraid to touch this story?
