FOUR YEARS FROM NOW, we're going to throw ALL those bums out!!

YOu know what is funny about this election cycle?

The fact that right now, if someone really wanted to run and could get enough signatures to get on the ballot prior to the primaries, they probably could have knocked off a few Democrats and Republicans from the ticket all together.

Right now is the perfect time for a viable 3rd party to come in and start to shoe horn themselves into local and national offices, if they play it right and hold to values that both sides can agree with(and trust me, there are quite a few from each party that like views from the other party and do not say so due to the "issues" it woudl cause). Could you imagine what it would be like in DC if there were say 45 Dems and 45 Republicans but 10 3rd party candidates in office? There would need to be bipartenship big time to get anything passed in DC, and the same would hold true in local offices also

As far as voting straight ticket, I have never voted straight ticket, and never will, to me it is stupid, moronic, and pure laziness. Plus it leads to issues like we have seen over and over time after time

The aftermath is even funnier (and more predictable): two or three months after the election, when the next Democrat puts the screws to the electorate (a la Tom Philpot, George Van Til, or George Pabey), watch all the LC automatons stomp their little union feet and cry their little ethnic tears and swear that NEXT time, FOUR YEARS FROM NOW, we're going to throw ALL those bums out!!

No, I WILL NOT vote straight Democratic! I will pick and choose my candidates, regardless of their party affiliation.
I've never believed in straight ticket voting, and sure am not about to start this year.

When the democratic general election took place I vote straight ticket REPUBLICAN.
Now you know....

I'm sure that the majority of the Cons on this board can't say that!!

Looks like we have a mystery here!

So where's Bill?

Honestly I have nothing but contempt for anybody who would vote for this woman now. The party should have replaced her. Days away from the election looks like we got a missing body. Well I guess it wouldn't be a Lake County election without at least one.

I wonder if someone's been cashing his social security checks?

For that matter, social security will tell a government agency if a death benefit has been paid out. Heck they'll even tell a bill collector. About the only thing they will disclose without going through channels. Has anybody bothered to make that call?

Keep in mind that Lake County has no death certificate on record, but it should if he were a true resident who passed away. Or perhaps he was out of the country at the time??

He died in 1953 according to the Post Tribune

Haven't see the article. What more did it say?

But on Friday, Gary Health Director Shirley Hawkins said a William C. Seaton who lived at that address died June 2, 1953. According to a Post-Tribune obituary published June 6, 1953, he was 65.

However, an affidavit filed May 10, 2004, in Lake County lists William C. Seaton's date of birth as Jan. 2, 1926, meaning that person would have been 27 in 1953. That document was filed in application for a senior-citizen exemption at 2378 Adams.

The Social Security Death Index, meanwhile, lists a "William Seaton" who died in Indiana in June 1953 at the age of 65. That person's birthdate was Jan. 2, 1888, according to the database.

Asked Wednesday if William C. Seaton lives at 2378 Adams, Carol Ann Seaton said only, "that's the owner of the property." Since then, as of press time, she hasn't responded to multiple phone messages left seeking comment, nor has her attorney.
