This election is a done deal and everyone knows it. But do they? Every day, day after day it's the same sad story. On the facebook group that part of the Granite City council owns and administers for and has deliberately alienated opposing candidates from, begins the tiresome propping up and supporting the mayor, and allowing if not encouraging chopping the now ex group members/candidates, off at the knees that are no longer in the group to defend themselves.

These old broads have made it their mission to protect the kingdom that tosses the commoners a handful of crumbs time to time. Daily they release the hellhounds Leah D., Laura L., and Kay R. and ole Nina J. to start some kind of new election drama. Today was the ole faithful union bug. Yes, the same finger pointing and claims that have throughout the decades sent many a Granite City political candidate straight into a panicked tailspin. You see, when all else fails to send people gasping and running in another direction, they break out the ole union bug stamp as a last resort. But what these knucklehead puppets don't realize is that about 75% or more of the current population (of Granite City) has no idea what a union bug is, without having to ask Siri, which translates to they just don't give a rat's ass one way or another.

If it's not one thing with this group, it's another, but why? Everyone knows who the leader or leader(s) of this lynch mob is. The whole damn city is talking about this group. But there is a big mystery surrounding this situation. This race was decided the day the mob arranged to have the only opposing candidate removed from the ballot. Why they bothered is perhaps the biggest mystery of all. I'll give credit where it's due though to the now removed write in candidate running against the current mayor. At least she cared enough to try, even as pie in the sky foolish as doing so may have been, she tried. No matter how unqualified she may be, she tried. No matter the lack of easily accessible information needed to present a valid argument or point, at least she tried. You have to at least respect the effort, even if you would never cast a vote in her favor.

So, with all of the obvious points made, why are these hellhounds insisting on the daily, if not multiple times daily public crucifixion of this candidate that is of no threat whatsoever, to win this election? Why does the mayor himself keep this candidate in the constant spotlight? He can't possibly feel threatened by this person (that most of the people) aren't even taking seriously. His constant reassurance to the voting public that he is taking the high road and refusing to participate in this "mudslinging" and never-ending personal character assassinating that has been taking place for months now. But has he? Is he really? It certainly doesn't appear so when he turns a blind eye to the hellhounds and their lynch mob doing his bidding and dirty work daily, multiple times a day on multiple social media platforms and groups. He sits silent and reads it all, every single word. He tries his best to not comment until he crumbles under pressure and takes his comments to his personal page where he will unload his frustrations over the election "mudslinging" expressing how he is looking forward to the future with the election behind him. This is when the hellhound's minions run over to his personal facebook page with encouraging comments like "you've got this mayor!", and the "don't let them get you down", and the best one of them all, "you've got my vote".

His silence while watching his council break the biggest golden rule of their Granite City election group being, no insulting, no bullying or bad mouthing, you're only allowed to build up your candidate, and you're not allowed to bash or tear down a candidate. Well obviously, those things are allowed, the bashing, belittling, the insulting and the character assassinations as long as it is done to favor and support the candidate of your choice. The mayor sitting back and watching this unfold daily is making him appear cowardice. His silence on this behavior is LOUD and doesn't exactly represent confidence and tolerance and why? Is this election group owned and ran by a serving city council member being weaponized and used for an unspoken message for anyone or everyone who may consider running for the position of mayor in future elections? Why has he not spoke out against this being allowed to continue in this group? Why isn't he holding his own council member accountable and demanding she stop allowing this to continue? This isn't a good look for him, and he needs to thank his lucky stars that Brenda Whitaker didn't put her name on the ballot, or anyone else having the proper knowledge and drive didn't step up and into this race, or this group would have been his insurance of him being a one term mayor!
