I've told a few of you that I'm not really following some State Rep. Races this time around. I'm standing by that . . .
HOWEVER, I thought this latest press release was important because there are some notable Kansas City names making an endorsement.
And, thinking about it, I'm not playing that game the Star does . . . If I have information, I'm throwing it out there . . . Because, like it or not, that's what this blog thing is all about . . .
So here it is:

There's nothing like an endorsement from a great public servant like Jonas Hughes to show that you're a serious candidate with really high standards.
ReplyDeleteNow we'll get to see how much screwing others in your consulting business can damage you as an actual candidate.
Game on!
He actually asked for Jonas Hughes' endorsement?
ReplyDeleteIs the distribution of that picture a dirty trick pulled by one of his opponents? MY GOD!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shock. Tony supporting a fat beaner.
ReplyDeleteGo Chris!
ReplyDeleteNice list! There are some great people on there.
ReplyDeleteLove that smile! Keep up the hard work Chris Moreno.
ReplyDeleteNice! Way to go Moreno! You will do a fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteChris Moreno is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhy does $32,000/year to accomplish absolutely nothing in Jefferson City each year appeal to anyone that has anything to contribute to society? It doesn't... That's why, by default, most state reps are jokes in the minds of informed individuals. You get paid for what you get, nothing and nobody.
ReplyDeleteJ. Grill, now this guy. Sometimes you just have to laugh at these postings.
ReplyDeleteJonas Hughes?
ReplyDeleteJonas Hughes gave an endorsement? Then why can't he show up to vote?
ReplyDeleteJob well done Moreno!
ReplyDeleteChris, Are you recruiting endorsements from the movers and shakers in the community? If so, I'd like to join your campaign.
ReplyDeleteLooks like he's been eating too many tacos on the Blvd.
ReplyDeleteThat's one thick dude
ReplyDeleteSo I guess his consulting career didn't really work out.
ReplyDeleteI really like Moreno. We need more passionate democrats like him these days.
ReplyDeleteKelvin Simmons supports him? It looks like the Governor still loves the kid.
ReplyDeleteWord. He's the ish.
ReplyDeleteboss.
ReplyDeleteChris working the blogs once again. When he loses this race Tony you must ban him.
ReplyDeleteLookin GOOD pansone!!! Can I lick your balls?
ReplyDeleteWTF?
ReplyDeleteLooking at Rep.'s endoresements & Brandon Ellington (www.electellington.com) has been endorsed by every Dem In JC. Congrads.
ReplyDeleteWow, I don't know how Moreno has time to campaign when he's spending a lot of time posting feel-good affirmations about himself on this blog.
ReplyDeleteTo paraphrase the wise Stuart Smalley: Chris Moreno, you are not good enough, you are not nearly smart enough, and doggonit, people hate you.
Go Chris!
ReplyDelete7:42...shut up Moreno.
ReplyDeleteLots of names of nobodies with the word 'former' in front of them. Jonas Hughes?? Seriously? Moreno ought to be embarrassed to put Hughes on a (short) list of supporters. But then again, Chris is never embarrassed whether he's living out of a friend's house when he can't get a job or pay child support, losing political campaigns, alienating any respectable Democrat, lying about his (non-existent) career accomplishments, dressing or grooming himself, or filling blogs with stupid comments in his favor.
ReplyDeleteMoreno is one of the most pathetic creatures on God's green earth. Pity the fool who wastes a vote on him.
Chris is an exciting candidate. I look forward to supporting him.
ReplyDeleteChris, you're such a loser. And a fat fuck.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm going to click my stop watch and see how long it takes you to slide your sausage fingers over your keyboard and post another "Yea Chris" comment. Everyone knows they are from you. Get a job, you dirty pig, and leave the honest public alone!
When I see folks like 7:54pm attacking a candidate like that, I honestly tend to support that candidate's campaign. I hope this guy Moreno wins!
ReplyDeleteAgreed 8:05. Pretty pathetic showing on the part of some people on here. Hope the guy wins his race.
ReplyDelete7:54 I disagree. Those are all phenomenal dems. You should not disrespect good dems like Karen Messerli, Juan Alonzo and Crispin Rea due to your obsession and hate.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that 8:13.
ReplyDeleteWell said 8:13. Racist comments and attacking others in our party says a lot about the quality of those attacking Moreno.
ReplyDeleteWow Chris! Five comments in 36 minutes. You're pacing yourself dough boy!
ReplyDeleteWhy has Chris been fired from nearly every job he's had? Answer: he can't deliver.
ReplyDeleteDespite claims of support (I'd have to hear it out of someone's own mouth they support Moreno, because Chris is a known liar), Moreno imploded a few years ago and has never recovered. I hope people are a little more discriminating than to mark a circle for a candidate based on whether they are a Dem or Repub.
7:39 pm... ROTFL!!
ReplyDeleteChris Moreno is my God.
ReplyDeleteGood for Moreno! Glad to see him running! He will be great for his district.
ReplyDeleteGood for Chris Moreno, I am certain now that peace and hope will reign on the prime material plane. Life will just be one long orgasm.
ReplyDeleteOr should I fit in my saying:
"Oh golly gee, Chris Moreno is a swell guy who helps elderly kittens across busy streets. I am glad he is here."
Pretty strong list of endorsements. Looks like Moreno has good company. All of those people have done amazing things in Jackson County. Alright Chris!
ReplyDeleteChris Moreno cured polio! He performed the first heart/lung transplant! I'm sure if he fools enough people to vote for him, he'll cure cancer from Jeff City!
ReplyDeleteBut first he needs to solve the obesity problem...his own!
Nice job Chris! Now talk about a great group of local democrats!
ReplyDeleteKeep on fighting the good fight Chris Moreno!
ReplyDeletethe reason a few losers on here hate Moreno is because he has been so effective in the past and the losers are bitter. Haha
ReplyDeleteWhy does Chris Moreno and his idiot brother Nick, believe that because they post a string of canned comments on this blog that they "stay winning?"
ReplyDeleteChris is running against a labor leader in the Democratic Primary, which is par for the course when it comes to Chris Moreno's anti-labor record.
At the recent meeting of labor leaders called The Forty Club, Chris Moreno made an ass of himself slapping backs, which resulted in forced smiles and nodding heads. We hate your guts Chris. Sitting next to Dutch Newman is not going to change that because she hates your guts too.
I should also mention that Chris had "Sweaty-Butt Stains" on the seat of his pants that he must not have known or cared were there. Chris you probably want to check yourself for that from time to time.
Look at these endorsements. Jonas Hughes might well be the most stupid life form to ever serve in the Missouri State Legislature -- which says alot. Jim Barnes was thrown out of the Democratic leadership because he slid into The Bottle, and he has never managed to crawl out. Crispin Rea is nothing more than a homeboy who means nothing to our district, but Chris and Nick lists him anyway.
That is a pretty sorry list Chris.
During World War Two, I would have laid on the floor of my bunker in a fetal position drunk and crying if it were not for Chris Moreno.
ReplyDeleteI shut down the Soviet Union in order to honor Chris Moreno.
ReplyDeleteIf Chris Moreno wins, I will have to plead guilty and tell everything I know about the sexual abuse of children just out of the aura of justice that will reign in the world.
ReplyDeleteI promise to be cured if Chris Moreno wins.
ReplyDeleteHey Chris can you get me a waiver from OBAMACARE? THANKS
ReplyDeleteHe looks like Chris Cristi
ReplyDeleteChris will be at the center of a scandal involving the use of public funds for political purposes by the Jaxco Sheriff's Office before the primary. The Star is aware of the information. The scandal will send both Chris Moreno, and the volunteer neighborhood watch captain that dresses up as sheriff into the dustbin of JaxCo political history.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Moreno has sold access to the so-called sheriff software that captures IP and hard drive information off blog postings, and the sheriff's office in violation of state and federal laws looks up that information in databases that are only supposed to be used for homeland security and child porn investigations. Just thought you all would like to know what happens if you say anything politically critical. It is best to use a public computer for that.
Wow look at the stalkers in here! Just willing to make up all kinds of false info! Im supporting Chris even more!
ReplyDeleteI'd say thats a pretty good list of Democrats Mr. Moreno.
ReplyDeleteAre these really democrats on here bad mouthing Moreno, Rea, Barnes, Alonzo, Messerli & Lopez?
Barnes for one is a drunk and everyone knows that. He will go days without being able to answer the phone. Bob Griffin even got fed up with him and Griffin never had very high standards of association.
ReplyDeleteBased on these comments, it looks like Mr. Moreno is winning.
ReplyDeleteGo Moreno!
I certainly want no part of an endorsement by Jonass Hughes. That nigger is a bad joke.
ReplyDeleteThese freaks are attacking Sheriff Sharp, Chris Moreno and using racist words regarding black elected officials.
ReplyDeleteCount me in on Team Moreno.
Seriously, STOP people! Why are so called "democrats" attacking Moreno for running? He has every right to run and personally feel he has worked hard for our party over the years. I have never met his opponent and that says enough for me. The attacks on those in our own party is old and not helpful to our cause. That is why I am supportive of Chris Moreno. He has been respectful to everyone I know and the quality of attacks by those on here says plenty about why I am sending a contribution his way and will urge many activists to do the same.
ReplyDeleteSarah
I suffered a slow and painful death nailed to a cross just so my name could be spoken in the same breath as Chris Moreno.
ReplyDeleteWho is JJ Rizzo endorsing in this race??
ReplyDeleteThat's who I'm voting for
I am glad to see Chris Moreno running. It doesnt surprise me that these great local leaders are supporting him. He has been doing good things for democrats for a decade now.
ReplyDeleteI like the guy. Moreno has always been honest with me and everyone I know. Never really understood all the bad talk. Then again, those who bad mouth the guy at events have more faces than a high school yearbook.
ReplyDeleteLets face it that Dwon Littlejohn is a corrupt closet faggot who is attacking our sheriff and Chris Moreno. DL should burn in hell for his sins. Fuck him sideways.
ReplyDelete9:13, if you don't understand why people don't like Moreno, let me explain:
ReplyDeleteHe is a liar. He is a stalker. He exaggerates and makes false claims. He's a pig. He makes promises and then doesn't deliver...repeatedly.
He didnt have enough cleverness to be a decent consultant or campaign manager. So he does what many of the terminally unemployable do--run for office.
So waste your cash, Sarah, and send the worthless Moreno a check. His campaign will be ineffective and unsuccessful.
Chris Moreno hss never lied to me. I think he has always been professional and respectful. Most everyone I know agrees. The democrats on that list dont endorse just anyone. I think he'll do well.
ReplyDeleteSomeone explain to me who these commenters think they are bad mouthing good democrats, trying to intimidate supporters and bully candidates? I'll tell you who they aren't. They aren't democrats.
ReplyDeleteI told Chris on Tuesday I might make it, but reading this I am definitely going to his fundraiser. I will be cutting a check and hoping Chris Moreno wins in a landslide. He has always been great for the party anyways.
@11:18 (aka "CM")- In case you haven't noticed, trying to rally the troups around the blue flag ain't so effective anymore. Try bringing folks together around issues. Hell, even Occupy KC and that pink-haired chick get a couple dozen followers that way. With any substance, you should be able to gin up at least a football team (that's a 53 man roster). And from he looks of it, 9:27 has given you a place to start....
ReplyDeleteThese nameless comments are the same old attacks on Chris Moreno for two years. He continues to push forward with his head held high. That is why he has earned a tremendous level of respect in my eyes. In my opinion, his attackers (we all know who you are) are only hurting his opposition and making the case for all of the things he talked about in my meeting with him and others.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, this race will see less action than a high school student council meeting. Chris could win, but I doubt it. If he does I pity his constiuents. The primary characteristic of Chris's personality is his immense laziness. Yes he's lied, treated clients so poorly they've fired him in mid-election and promises results he can't deliver but it's his laziness that permeates him.
ReplyDeleteTo you posters (probably Chris) if you are real people, please reconsider your support. There is a lot of posters here that don't like Chris. There are reasons people don't like Chris and it has nothing to do with him being a democrat. It's because he's despicable.
I happen to think Chris Moreno is a great guy that would do really fantastic things for the district he is running to represent. He has been a very active Democrat and vocal supporter for my union local. Everyone I talk to seems to agree. If you have beef with the guy air it out with him. Coming on here attacking him and tgose who support him just makes you just seem like a scab and snake. Sorry but it does.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more Michael
ReplyDeleteSweet Jesus! Someone take the Red Bull away from Moreno so he can quit posting on this blog!
