We've all been remiss in failing to give Councilman Riley enough credit.
I have consistently noted that he's a gentlemen and a scholar so that clears my conscience . . . But let's talk turkey.
Councilman Riley not only has experience in the School District but also in Community Organizing in addition to his legislative turn on the City Council. Sorry Sly but when it comes to current experience in local government there isn't a candidate from the African-American community that comes close.
And like everything else . . . The next Mayoral election will come down to race and Kansas City's dividing lines.
Serious question:
Who has more political pull . . . The Northland or the Eastside??? Both vote in blocs and in Kansas City the elections are decided by support from either enclave and then a fierce struggle within Midtown . . . And of course the Latino vote and the LGBT vote "swing" the election to a winner for lack of a better word.
Under these circumstances IF the Eastside vote is not split by Sly . . . Councilman Riley comes out winning . . . Folks may not believe it but TKC just demonstrated how it can happen.
Terry Riley as Kansas City Mayor . . . Think about it.
No.
ReplyDeleteNo.
ReplyDeleteThe Northland will never vote for Terry Riley.
NO WAY IN HELL will kansas city vote a crook in office.
ReplyDeleteI don't like Funk, this might be worse.
ReplyDeleteA damn fine piece of political analisys, dickhead. I can see how the troops are falling in line behind your spictacular level of thinking.
ReplyDeleteOK Tony, I have thought about it. But you interrupted me from making my grocery list. Now, where was I? Oh yes! OREOS!
ReplyDeletebwahahahahahaha
ReplyDeletegood one 08:18
ReplyDeleteAre you saying Terry is an oreo? That term is stupid and doesn't apply to Riley at all. Lame.
ReplyDeleteMiss Allen is wrong. If you dont believe that, where has Riley been while the TIF is about to pay out big bucks to H&R Block in spite of the fact that they abused the MBE program? Siding with the white power structure that's where. The oreo term may be stupid, but it is even more stupid to let a big corporation rob the city.
ReplyDeleteNo.
ReplyDeleteRiley's fuck up on the Perfect Output contract issue will sink him....
ReplyDeleteWhat about Beth?
ReplyDeleteNo on Riley, No on Beth. Actually, hell no on all the sitting council! Tony for Mayor!!
ReplyDeletePerhaps he needs to drive back and forth on Hwy 71 near the Swope Park/Zoo area until he catches a "stray one."
ReplyDeleteProblem solved.
Anyone who deals with Riley at all knows he is a bully and two faced. His attempt to ram the Citadel down the city's throat without any real financing shows you his true colors.
ReplyDeleteGranted, he needs a job since Douglas bank went belly up and no Obama Administration job has opened up, but this is the most retarded post you've had yet. (and that's saying something)
Is this the same Terry Riley involved in ethics investigations?

NO MORE NIGGERS RUNNING ANYTHING!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteniggers fuck up EVERYTHING!!! even WORSE than the current dumbass in charge!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a Tom Delay Mug Shot.
ReplyDeleteI get it, you just want to get a rise out of everyone every day. Doesn't matter what kind of rise.
ReplyDeleteyou need someone from Joco to go over there and clean up that hot mess you call a city.
ReplyDeleteyou can not be serious. after you have documented the citadel scam. don't forget about the northland church scam. no way. he better find a job like troy nash with zimmer co.
ReplyDeleteHe's too deep into the Citadel mess to think he's got the pull to run for Mayor.
ReplyDeleteNo.
If Riley becomes mayor, I'm moving out of KC.
ReplyDeleteI support Funk more than anyone else on the council. I wonder how quick they will be to settle the reverse discrimination case brought against the City Manager, the one that Funk didn't want in the first place. Terry Riley has shown no leadership at all.
ReplyDeleteAs for me, this city needs a gigantic enema and several flushes. There isn't a person in City government that must absolutely stay. I say dump them all.
Perhaps the City should hire Kim Carlos at some outrageous fee to correct the Terry Riley problem. Of course, she could not do a damn thing about it, but she is always hired at outrageous fees to do things to do nothing.
ReplyDeleteHere's a new tip Tony. Terry has already started fundraising.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to think about Riley as a Mayor it only comes out disaster.
ReplyDeleteSomeone please find out how much Riley is getting paid to push the stupid Citadel project, and who is doing the paying. Maybe Doc Whorley, everyone's favorite White MBE contractor.
ReplyDeleteRily has hung himself with the Citadel. He won't get one vote outside of the "black side of town".
ReplyDeleteTony's sarcasm regarding Riley is flying over everyone's head. "A gentleman and a scholar?" C'mon, he's having fun and games with us.
ReplyDeleteTerry will not be mayor. Too much Citadel, Perfect Output, bullying... you name it. As for the LGBT vote - pay attention this Thursday on how Terry votes on the NTDF ordinance that gives money to that wonderful church group "Life Changers." If he votes 'yes' to give money to that hate-spewing group, you'll know what you're getting.
I am bothered by the lack of factual discussion and apparently racial overtones, but I am not sure that I want any of the sitting members.
ReplyDeleteRiley is fine. He is doing the best he can for his district and the city. He is polite and intelligent, and he knows how to lead. He'll make a fine mayor. If you are racist, please move to the far side of Independence.
ReplyDeletehe's "polite"? Maybe if he wants something from you.
ReplyDeleteAnon 9:35 am -- what is wrong with Beth?
ReplyDeleteRace has nothing to do with the fact that Riley is an unintelligent, impolite, racist boor. He'll make a lousy mayor and people no it. He doesn't have a chance.
ReplyDeletewhy didn't Riley bother to vote on the Bates settlement?
ReplyDeleteAmen to 7/25 10:12. Citadel Plaza, Perfect Output, Northland church, Douglas Bank, expense report fraud, bullying airline personnel, bullying EVERYONE her comes into contact with. He learned from one of our best crooks--Carol Coe. And let's not forget how he controls Cauthen by supporting all of his racist "whites need not apply" policies and secret funding of his special harem women.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Terry Riley can take over the Janice Ellis for Mayor billboard that is still posted on Main Street.
ReplyDeleteTerry Riley is a loser. He is one of Cleavers losers. He is part of the Citadel loser club. He is part of the Bannister Mall loser club. He may run for Mayor but he will lose.
ReplyDeleteThat' SICK!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone checked his city cell phone bills lately to see if he's still doing the 3AM booty calls on the taxpayer dime?
ReplyDeleteI heard he was moving to Atlanta.
