There is an old adage, ascribed to Albert Einstein, that the definition of INSANITY is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Insanity is the very nature of politics and of the voters of Lake County. The number one crazy man is Tom McDermott (take your pick jr. or sr. or both). The crazy man won mayorality of Hammond by a little over 200 votes and now he is head of the Lake County Democratic Party (also known as the loony bin of Lake County). How insane do you think those Democratic Party operatives are?
The insane one said in today's paper that it took him only 5 minutes to vote, including the drive from the his office. (I wonder if he wore his fire chief outfit?) Than in the next sentence he calls for easing the process of voting so that more people would vote. What could be easier than five minutes? Now I know why everyone who worked with him as a lawyer thought of him as a combination of fruitcake and dumb. (Certainly Sheriff Dominguez knows that he is both.) As a matter of fact, all Democratic politicians have said that to me, even ones who do not like each other.
Back to the Insanity of the Lake County Democrats. If you voted for the Democrats in any way seriously (rather than as a joke to confuse them) you have defined yourself as insane. If you are a Democrat, you are insane. Since 1932, Lake County has been completely control by Democrats. Why would a sane person in 2010 vote for anything having to do with the Democratic party? They would not, every.
Even within the Democratic lunatics look at who is running. It is the same people and the same families. Buncich for sheriff?? Are you guys crazy? Oh, I forgot you are. What is it about the 21st century that none of the Democrats know about. Than we have Visclosky for Congress. He has been rated by everyone as now the number one corrupt public official in Washington after Murtha passed away. I guess the is the insanity that is consistent with the Lake County Democrats of McDermott. By G-d, McDermott is even delusional he almost ran for Bayh's seat in the Senate.
There was not a single new name, person, or idea on the part of the Democratic party in Lake County. Every one of them is either useless or in the McDermott tradition a thief. Most are both.
The only sane people now left in Lake County did not vote or voted for the Republican, none party in Lake County. They may now win; but, no one can claim that their very actions makes them certifiable insane. The Democrats are certifiable.
As I have said over the past 15 years, you keep up with this crazy people and what you get is the garbage that is Lake County -- all crime, murder, unemployment, illegals, uneducated third world junk heap.
This primary showed that the future is completely lost for Lake County until the last rusty nail in stolen and than we can start over with sane people. That will be many, many years from now.
