For those out of the loop, "The Corridor" in Kansas City is the so-called "gold coast" when it comes to voters and political donations in this town.
Most of the questions in KCMO are decided here and per capita the corridor STILL has more money, influence and power than any section of Kansas City.
Accordingly . . .
INSIDERS REVEAL THAT THE CORRIDOR REJECTS QUINTON LUCAS AND LEANS TOWARD JOLIE JUSTUS!!!
Fair play as we penned our Sunday masterpiece on the most active Northland voters rejecting Jolie Justus.
First just a bit of explanation . . .
Many experts among our blog community believe that this vote will mimic Prez Obama trouncing Hillary Clinton and then offering her some cash and a hug along with a chance at his leftovers.
That's a comforting thought but the past is prologue and not destiny.
Yesterday a great many big money denizens gathered inside a Ward Parkway mansion to raise more than $75K for Jolie Justus in less than a half an hour but what they didn't realize is that a KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTER was also in the room.
Here's what we learned . . .
- The Kansas City "Pink Mafia" is already playing dirty. Team Jolie is talking so much trash behind the scenes and they're painting Quinton Lucas as Kansas City's first socialist Mayor. Again, fair play their argument is convincing and Kansas City old money doesn't want their mayor playing politics with their profits.
- In Midtown progressives favor the "transformative" vote for Jolie Justus that would grant Kansas City the openly first LGBT Mayor is our history. Never mind the suspicions that we've all had about the fashion choices of James A. Reed and what they really implied.
- Quinton's affordable housing strategy backfired among the new gentry. New locals building up the corridor and hyped-up about gentrification opportunities pushing po'folk out see the politics of Mr. Lucas as a threat. Whilst the advocating for equal housing and renter's rights might seem progressive . . . Let's not forget about that people ALWAYS vote with their wallet.
Still, losing the corridor isn't the end of the world as all of those recycled Phil Glynn & Steve Miller camapign signs reveal. The voter rich part of town never really loved former Mayor Cleaver and progressive leaders in this part of town were stumped by the short and turbulent tenure of Mayor Funkhouser.
Still . . . Campaign tactics, signs and more trickery await this seemingly polite contest that's quickly growing more contentious by the day.
Developing . . .
Money votes for money and that means Jolie. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteSo a few rich aunties vote for Jolie because they love their gay nephew. There are more apartement dwellers who hate their landlord than there are rich old white women.
DeleteDon't agree with most of this post except for the fact that supporters of Jolie Justus are becoming angry. A lot of LGBT people feel that they're entitled to a victory here. They don't want to hear anything negative about Jolie's airport work.
DeleteCash doesn't always win the race TKC. Alvin Brooks raised a lot of money in the corridor but Funkhouser still beat him!
ReplyDeleteAll of this just made me want to vote for Quinton Lucas. Jolie can have her fat cat support.
ReplyDelete^^^^ You mean your parents?
ReplyDeleteBwahahahahhahahhahahahahahhahahahhahaha!
^^^^^ No, your Mommy and whichever one of them your Daddy was.

Kansas City is pretty much screwed because neither of these two are worth a shit. I'll probably vote for Lucas just because I totally hate the James regime and Justis is just a continuation of the let's give away the tax base to rich developers instead of taking care of our horrible infrastructure. It has to stop. This city has become a joke.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I, for one am tired of all of the agenda based campaign blabbering from the wannabe corporate mouth breathing troglodytes downtown. If you are not going to listen to your constituents, why should we listen to YOU? Why should we vote for you??
DeleteThey should not be surprised at the low voter turnout. They are doing nothing for us so low voter turnout is their receipt.
Jolie will carry Slie's water forever! The corridor has figured Slie out and wants no more of him or his buttgirl!
ReplyDelete^^^Sad but true.
ReplyDeleteA vote for Jolie is a vote for SLY.
Lucas still needs to learn how to hold his licker.
ReplyDelete"Team Jolie is talking so much trash behind the scenes and they're painting Quinton Lucas as Kansas City's first socialist Mayor."
ReplyDeleteUmmmm. Would that be socialism that actually helps the poor or the kind of socialism Jolie prefers--helping out the poor realtors, developers, and streetcar contractors?
We've had many socialist mayors if you realize that socialism for the rich is still socialism.
Midtown progressives
ReplyDeleteWhat progressives?
the corridor could split. Midtown for Quinton, Ward parkway for Jolie. and that still won't work out well for her.
ReplyDelete"For those out of the loop"
ReplyDeleteWhich would be 85% KCMO
Midtown

Jolie is willing to kill babies inside the womb at nine months. Is that someone you want for your mayor? Bad judgement, no empathy..
ReplyDeleteQuinton is a drunk driving, affirmative action mooch, lying, fake law lecturer. Is that someone you want for your mayor?
ReplyDelete9:28 AM Since we can't reproduce as a biological couple we are helping to keep the population under control. Anyway if the baby is the product of a deplorable or Trump supporter it's probably best for everyone to get it taken care of early rather then wait nine months.
ReplyDeleteAnd excellent that your sick genes are getting bred out. You really are doing your part! :)
Delete"Quinton is a drunk driving, affirmative action mooch, lying, fake law lecturer. Is that someone you want for your mayor?"
ReplyDeletePreferable when the option is a Sly James groomed and trained lesbian who actually believes her own lies and bullshit.
Electing a pandering underhanded lying lesbian to be mayor of kc when there are THOUSANDS of better qualified honest people that don't want to impose their sexuality on me or dip into my pockets, but too chickenshit to run
ReplyDeleteis the worst thing that could ever happen to KCMO.
You watch! She's elected and straight people will possibly start voting again (you know who you are, you fucking lazy assholes), but surely taxpayers will move away from KC in droves, as will I.
Another homie running the show, as bad as it is, is mountains more sensible for this place.
Clay won't win because everybody has been led to believe he doesn't even live in the Midwest. Same assholes weren't listening when Clay said "if elected, I'll move to KC"
I endured Davis, Wheeler, do-nothin-Berkely, the old dyke that ruined downtown KCMO, a fake reverend that now is a congressman having his congressional wages garnished because he's another deadbeat homie, funkhouser's wife's feet, and bow tie the clown. Some are ommitted because they're totally forgetable. Wheeler is the ONLY one that didn't hate me, apparently
OK one more point. Because I wouldn't wipe my ass with the kansas city star, i'll just use the collective common sense of KC voters.
A 100% Idenity Candidates Liberial Democratic shit show. Sensible hard working conservative minded adults have no horse in the race. Even the weak two party system has disappeared in KCMO like tax dollars, pfooof.
ReplyDeleteI'm just thankful as hell I don't live in KC
ReplyDelete^^^^So are we!!!! Thank God!!!!
ReplyDelete@10.01-and yet here you on a blog about KC. Weird.
ReplyDeleteKCMO is a "weak mayor" system where city council does all the bidding of their string pullers and puppet masters.
ReplyDeleteMost "weak" mayors are mayors elected from within the city council.
Welcome to Killer Shitty and good luck. If you believe in luck as your main strategy.
In the weak-mayor and council form, the mayor is merely council chairman and has largely only ceremonial (clown suit and bow tie photo ops) and parliamentary functions..taking selfies with the fans and fucking things up.
ReplyDeleteTHE KANSAS CITY ATHEIST COALITION SUPPORTS THE LESBIAN!
ReplyDelete10:05 at least they admit they don't live here while you on the other hand don't either. So STFU TKC is about a lot things.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, 10:05 same as lives in the Kcowtown, since he frequents all their heavily TIF'd BathHouses everyday.
DeleteRemember when everyone actually believed Kander dropped out of the race for some sort of PTSD bullshit? We all now realize that was an excuse he used because he saw the writing on the wall in this city
ReplyDeleteThat second pic is so precious. Two low-down down-lows pretending to be buds. These narcissists pander-ployed each other relentlessly.
ReplyDelete"The Corridor" will support ANY Candidate who will promise to keep "the Schwartzers" off Ward Parkway!!
ReplyDeleteHypocritical Liberals love to talk about inclusiveness and racism but, they end up supporting the white candidates. Look at the current polls where Biden and Bernie lead the pack for president and Jolie won the primary.
ReplyDelete^^^^^And that would explain Sly, Cleaver, and Obama... how?
ReplyDeleteTony you should look into them not allowing a a write-in candidates for the general election forcing people to vote for two horrible candidates who basically keeps acrylpro of fleecing the taxpayers and Langley establishments pockets
ReplyDeleteBreaking News!
ReplyDeleteRich white folks favor the white lady!
Identity progressives favor the lesbian!
Who does that leave for Lucas? Most people!

I have yet to see Jolie or Lucas even mention anything on my list of concerns as a citizen in this Hell hole. Airports, crappier housing, street name changes, fulfilling promises to church pastors and congregations, blah blah blah. After multiple terms from Sly Jimmy, the city as a whole is in need revamping; We need new streets-no cheap patchwork or guys hoping out with a bucket and shovel. We need a new, complete piping system. The most consistent thing in this city in the last five years has been the live portrayal of The Purge-record breaking homicides, rise in porch pirate activity, multiple shootings daily, car jacking and armed robberies. There needs to be somewhere for these little murderous hellions to go, facilities to get the legions of homeless people off of the streets and out of traffic, crackdowns on absentee landlords, crackdowns on cops racking in triple overtime but solving no crimes while complaining there is no money. Something needs done about all of the eye sores, vacant homes, vacant buildings, thinner driving lanes due to scooters and Mario kart looking bike lanes, closing schools but building overpriced unaffordable condos that cannot pass fire inspections, the toy train that goes nowhere, and the list can go on. Neither mayoral candidate has mentioned even 20% of what I listed, and most, if not ALL of it is or has been on most of our minds.
ReplyDeleteI do not care what the current quack of a mayor is saying when he has done nothing productive since being elected, twice!
Born in the corridor, raised in the corridor, live in the corridor, vote in the corridor.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm voting for LUCAS.
Some corridor folks are fooled by Jolie's identity-politics platitudes. But others can follow the money and realize she's stealing our tax dollars.
You can't fool all the people all the time.
PREACH!
