Can't beat a candidate on the issues? Roll out the dirty tricks!
Don't just distort his record, lie over and over.
Make sure you have a set of "plumbers" that would make Haldemann and Ehrlichman proud: Ray Kinney (a Naperville businessman and Chamber of Commerce member) and Tom Althoff (President of the Lisle Chamber of Commerce). Put them under a third rate publicist (Dennis Culloton) whose qualifications include:
- he lives in Naperville
- he was George Ryan's press secretary
- he has not stopped feeding at the public trough since Ryan went to prison - he is currently employed by the DuPage County Board
- while he takes your tax dollars, he launches malicious, deceptive attack emails (and somebody pays him to do it)
Here are some of the details: http://lisle.patch.com/articles/not-all-endorsements-are-authentic-in-this-years-election
Is it just a coincidence that emails from "electedofficials@villageoflisle.com" started appearing simultaneously with Culloton's lies? You decide.
Can Lisle and DuPage politics get any scummier? We'll see -- in the meantime, here are the statements from Cawiezel, Boyle and Young renouncing Culloton's dirty tricks: Young and Boyle have said that Culloton "is not working for them". I guess that means there is no proof that they hired him, although his attack clearly endorsed them.
One thing is clear -- Cawiezel, Boyle and Young are running scared, and you can expect any kind of behavior from a frightened animal.
