* Chutzpah…
Conservative group @nwsgop planning gathering for union members–tho its biggest donor, Illinois Liberty PAC, was run until May by president of @LJCenter, which helped take #JANUSvsAFSCME case to #SCOTUS to win restrictions on union powerhttps://t.co/7bUAyJ0T9W

* From the invite…
Union-Friendly Republican Party
August 11 @ 4:00 pm - 8:00 pmBig indoor / outdoor party with a band and tents. Cash bar. $10 cover. Buy tickets at door. Cash only please.
The Northwest Side GOP Club has many card-carrying union members and we want to invite more to join us for a good time. We will have awesome raffles as always.
If you are a card-carrying, independent-minded, right-leaning carpenter, bricklayer, operating engineer, iron worker, electrician, plumber, police officer, firefighter, paramedic, teacher, janitor, auto-mechanic, or truck driver, come hang out and have a great time with friends.
A TBD band will be playing. Come hang out with Ammie Kessem and others.
Illinois Liberty PAC’s first chairman was John Tillman, who handed it off to Matthew Besler, who handed it off to Pat Hughes, who then handed it back to Besler. The committee contributed $2,000 to the Northwest Side GOP Club in June. Kessem is running against Rep. Rob Martwick (D-Chicago).

Matthew Besler funded Ken Dunkin as the chair of the arm Proft wanted for Raunerite Dems.
Know who has been where, Labor… Besler isn’t your pal.

Is that a gag? That’s not chutzpah, that’s meshuga.
Ten buck cover and a cash bar?
That’s not a “party,” that’s a funder for IPI types.
Grifters gonna grift.

The party where the host says
“It puts the lotion in the basket”

They are rightfully neglecting to invite Laborers.

The band is Mark Janus and the Free Riders.

“Cash only please.” We don’t want any cancelled checks that can be traced and show where your money is really going!

which unions do you mean ? Trades interests are often furthered by policies that expand productivity and profits - typical GOP platform stuff. Public unions not so much.
Notice who the GOP is prioritizing in the tweet ..”carpenter, bricklayer, operating engineer, iron worker, electrician, plumber,

Cash only? Will Willie Wilson be there?

I’m picturing the Blues Brothers at Chez Paul.
Comment by Jocko Wednesday, Aug 1, 18 @ 2:36 pm
I think I’ll decline to pay the cover, for drinks at the bar, or for raffle tickets because I don’t 100% agree with them on everything. But I expect to drink their booze and win raffle prizes with no complaints.

You’re funny. Think we can’t read “police officer, firefighter, paramedic, teacher, janitor”?

Sam McCann should go there, it’s actually his target audience and he could make a press conference out of it blaming Rauner if he gets kicked out.

Like right-to-work and eliminating prevailing wage.
You know you’re not on one of those cable yakker shows here, right?

What are the odds that Gerry McCarthy and Alderman Napolitano show up?
Comment by Melido Perez Wednesday, Aug 1, 18 @ 2:57 pm
Well, with a certain large union local going around pretending to support conservatives, I guess the opposite is no surprise.

I’m guessing there will be a surprise appearance by one of those giant inflatable rats that pop up at some worksites up here.

== Sam McCann should go there, it’s actually his target audience ==
Exactly what I was thinking; an attempt to lure voters from Sam.

These Union friendly folks have brass underpinnings?

$10 cover and a cash bar? Way to make friends with the union guys — NOT!

===I’m picturing the Blues Brothers at Chez Paul.===
Funny. I’m picturing the scene from Caddyshack where the caddies et al were welcome to use the country club’s pool from 2:00-2:15. I guess this card-carrying, independent-minded, right-leaning social services state worker isn’t invited.

@Texas Red- I see you also have Trump’s gift for honesty and truthfulness.

They have nothing to do with illegal porn and they acknowledge the existence of the holocaust. Vote for these two.

They’ll be covering the song “Back Stabbers.”
