These politicians will try anything the voters will let them get away with, and this little trick is a new one in America but used for thousands of years in ancient Egypt, Dictatorships, fascist regimes, English Monarchies but not democracies or Republics like ours. At least that was until the Chicago Daley Machine took over for the second time in a century and starting spitting out politicos like Barack Obama.We vote for our leaders here, at least we used to, but in Chicago lately they've been using the old succession trick to install candidates of their own choice by skipping primaries and shooting the lucky DEMOCRAT right into the election unchallenged. This happened with a former congressman Bill Lipinski installing his son Dan, the latest episode was when Cook County Commissioner John Stroger had a stroke during his last run for candidacy before his death the Democratic big wigs shoved his son Todd right into dead daddy's chair. Isn't that special?
So now Jones, A DEMOCRAT is pulling the same crap power play and I think it's about time voters got off their arses and said that's enough of this, we're in America and this isn't a Democrat Monarchy the last time I checked.

State Senate leader Jones to reveal retirement plans today ::
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: News: "SPRINGFIELD -- Senate President Emil Jones is expected to announce his retirement plans today, stripping Gov. Blagojevich of his most vocal and reliable ally as the governor contemplates a third term.
The South Side Democrat, who has been in the Legislature since 1973 and led the Senate since 2003, told several members of his leadership team of his plans over the weekend.
'I believe Emil is coming to the end of his time. He's tired,' said one high-ranking Jones ally, who asked not to be identified but confirmed an announcement would be made today.
The timing of Jones' announcement comes as a surprise, given that as Barack Obama's political godfather in Illinois, he is planning on a high-profile role within the state's delegation at next week's Democratic convention in Denver.
Jones, a former city sewer inspector, endured criticism for taking tens of thousands of dollars in interest-free loans from his campaign fund and for multimillion-dollar, no-bid government contracts steered to a technology firm headed by his stepson, John Sterling.
One source indicated that Jones is likely to serve through the end of this year's session," continued
