Northwest Indiana Discussion

It seems that Erik Krieg, aka "Buzzcut" really isn't cut out for politics. He can't even respond to Rich Jame's cutting remarks on his own blog. If you can't handle the heat,pal, Get out of the kitchen!

take a look in the mirror ....''pal''....

in fact you've now reduced yourself to attacking people who most likely will never post a reply on this forum let alone even visit it.

Once again, you've revealed you have no idea what you are talking about,coward. Erik Krieg has been making comments for years as "Buzzcut" after articles on both the Times and the Post-Tribune's websites. He has repeatedly challenged columnists to reply to him on his own blog. He has also admitted that he is a "birther" on his blog. I think it's great that columnists have the chance to call out this idiot now that he is running for public office. Most rational people won't vote for morons who make such idiotic assertions. At least Buzzcut has the guts to attach his real name to his opinions which is more than you're capable of. Scurry back to your hole and write more some bigoted posts,wimp.

krieg is a loose cannon and not representative of the republican party I see. I do think he has many good points however. not all democrats are corrupt politicians but all politicians convicted of corruption are democrats! lesson of the day.

Do any Democrat politicians in LC have private lives? Nope. They kissed the right posteriors, pushed papers around various redundant municipal agencies, and learned to manipulate the brain-dead electorates of Hammond, Gary, and East Chicago.

Most Republicans lose because they recognize the futility of campaigning on platforms beyond passing out tobacco and promising sub-GED level voters the return of their "good union jobs" (ain't gonna happen). Your party is up to its eyeballs in idiots like Steve Fowler and Dave Woerpel who would quickly starve to death if they had to make it outside the Democratic organization. Republicans have careers and businesses that need attention--paying tribute to "the party" is way down on their lists of priorities. I understand that "Buzzcut" is an engineer. He has mental capabilities far beyond what you union gorillas and city goons are used to. A quick glance at the Failing Three versus most communities south of 80/94 is simple proof of that reality.

Unless you have ever tried to run for office, you'd know $5,000.00 won't get you very far. And you also have no clue as to how much time he is spending campaigning. Have you ever looked at a campaign finance report and seen where the Dumbocrats get the money for the campaigns they run? Its not from their own pockets.

You big, dumb, naive man-child--you really think these guys use their own money for their campaigns? No wonder you exist the way you do, where you do.

Your leaders would pimp their own daughters to keep their taxpayer-funded cars--heck, even some deputy assistant park department guy in Hammond has one--and you think they're going to spend their own money to keep their own jobs? There are approximately 200,000 dim bulbs spread around Hammond, Gary, East Chicago, and Whiting willing to write checks to the Democratic party so some relative can keep a do-nothing job. You'd spend your own money....sure you would. You won't even spring to get your own daughter out of a crummy Hammond school.

....and when you're not stomping your chubby union feet or crying your little ghetto tears over not knowing the names of every poster on this forum, and when you're not out measuring other people's lawns, and when you're not at politcally-themed "crime watch" meetings nibbling at the deli tray and noting who's sitting next to whom, you're not being a snoop, jealous, petty, and paranoid? All this while your daughter moulders in a substandard school system preparing for a life of mediocrity just like Good Ol' Dad enjoys right now....you should clue him in to the concepts of Upper Class Morals and Free Money.

Whatever Buzzcut's shortcomings may be, he is an engineer. Guys like him are too busy conceiving, designing, and building the future to be overly concerned with winning political office in a regressive sewer like Lake County. These folks are a cut above Hammond-bound union apes and politically-connected columnists at high school newspapers whose best bet at maintaing their lifestyles (such as they are) are perpetuating a system that should've died in the 1960's. Sadly, in NWI there are ten Spunks and ten Rich James' for every one Eric Krieg--that explains Hammond, Gary, East Chicago and your dependence on gambling boats and the thriving retail, tobacco, alcohol, and Gentlemen's Club sectors of the economy.
