I received an email this evening from the Bloom Township Democrats.
I want to make it clear: I will NOT vote for T.J. "Turncoat" Somer for judge.
No way. No how.
I can’t believe George Scully and Linzey Jones, who are ostensibly Democrats, are putting their names on literature with T.J. Somer, a life-long Republican, who recently became a Democrat so he could have a better chance at getting elected to office.
No way. No how.
I don’t even know if I’ll vote for Scully and Jones. This is just too low a move for them.
Somer is a Republican, and all Democrats should remember that. Somer is an ideological Republican.
Don’t vote for him, whatever you do with the others on the ballot.
Here’s a slogan for you: Anyone But Somer for Judge.
Democrats were out of power for so long in the south suburbs (especially Bloom) that they have no clue how to run a political organization. Republicans saw that, and have taken over both parties now. Notice that the Bloom Republicans transferred out almost all of their money last year to the newly-formed “Organization for Politcal Unity South Suburbs”. The chairman of the new organization is Bloom GOP committeeman Doug Troiani. Check out the state’s campaign finance disclosure site – lots of Chicago Heights-based committees swapping money, all with the same chairmen and treasurers. It’s ridiculous.
