TKC TOLD YOU SO!!! KANSAS CITY STAYS LOSING GOP CONVENTION 2016 BID!!! DALLAS AND CLEVELAND MOVE FORWARD!!!
Kansas City Mayor Sly danced for some rando Republicans for NOTHING as this cowtown was just dropped from the GOP list of potential host sites.
CNN: Cleveland and Dallas the finalists for 2016 GOP convention
Morover . . .
TKC TIPSTERS TOLD YOU SO!!! KANSAS CITY WASTED A TON OF CASH ENTERTAINING REPUBLICANS IN A BID THAT WASN'T TAKEN SERIOUSLY!!!
Remember that our blog community already agreed that Dallas was more qualified than Kansas City.
And we DUTIFULLY NOTED that even mainstream political newsies would rather go to Ohio.
Accordingly . . .
DEAL WITH IT KANSAS CITY: WE JUST LOST TO CLEVELAND - THE SECOND WORST CITY IN AMERICA!!!
Now, there's plenty of blame to go around here . . .
But only nitwits and newsies on the take will claim this is because of a TAXPAYER SUBSIDIZED convention hotel Mayor Sly is pushing . . .
IN FACT . . . MAYOR SLY AND CHIEF OF STAFF JOHN McGURK SHUTTING OUT GOP OPERATIVE CATHY NUGENT WAS THE MAIN FACTOR IN KANSAS CITY FAIL!!!
ONCE AGAIN KANSAS CITY SUFFERS FROM MAYOR SLY'S "WIN AT ALL COSTS" POLITICAL MENTALITY!!!

End of the road: KC out of the running to host 2016 convention
Downtown business disappointed by RNC convention snub
Winners and losers react to GOP bid finalists
Also . . . We knew this thing was a flop because GOP Juggernaut Jeff Roe didn't go anywhere near KCMO's bid.
Finally . . .
The inside deal is that Mayor Sly simply couldn't stand sharing power or the spotlight . . . The convention hotel line is going to be foisted upon the public this week because it's part of the Mayor's agenda but in reality it was Mayor Sly's bullying style that blew Kansas City's chances and deserves the blame.

Here's the RNC Presser Thanks to AWESOME TKC TIPSTERS . . .
RNC Selects Cleveland and Dallas as 2016 Finalists
WASHINGTON – Today, the Republican National Committee’s Site Selection Committee selected Cleveland, Ohio and Dallas, Texas as finalists to host the 2016 Republican National Convention. The committee’s decision was based on a thorough review of bids, presentations, and visits to each of the cities.
Following today’s meeting of the RNC’s Site Selection Committee, Chairwoman Enid Mickelsen issued the following statement:
“After extensive review the site selection committee has chosen Cleveland and Dallas as finalists for the 2016 convention. Cleveland and Dallas demonstrated their ability to host a phenomenal convention in 2016, and the RNC is excited about the prospect of hosting our convention in either of these great cities. After visiting both cities, I can say to my fellow Republicans that we should be excited for the 2016 convention. These world class cities know how to roll out the welcome mat, and more importantly they have the ability to provide our next presidential nominee a launching pad that will put a Republican in the White House in 2016.
“The committee extends our sincere thanks and gratitude to Denver and Kansas City for their hard work and dedication to this effort. Both teams should be proud of their work. They were great ambassadors for their cities, and we felt fortunate to visit and get to know them. This was a tough decision for our committee because all four of these cities made excellent bids.
“As we move closer to choosing a host for our convention, I’m more confident than ever that we’ll have an outstanding partner to showcase our Party and our Republican nominee in 2016.”

Don't blame Sly.
ReplyDeleteHe danced.
He DANCED VERY NICELY.
It was all he could do for Kansas City.
KC had not chance of getting this. It was all about Sly and Council ego thinking they could pull it off. Another example of them wasting taxpayer money on pie in the sky to further their agenda not the agenda or what's best for the people.
ReplyDeleteKansas City SUCKS!, and even the GOP knows it hahahahahahahaha
ReplyDelete119:Truth.
ReplyDeleteHowever, the glee that Tony and his followers take in other's failures is at least equally disturbing as the intent of those would are summarily criticized.
Friggin haters. They come in all colors.
Shut up McGurk! Your boss lost this one fair and square.
ReplyDeleteNow the blame starts. This cost KC hundreds of thousands paid to relatives of KC staffers. This is a big scandal for KCMo in the making. The Mayor will have a lot of explaining to do.
ReplyDeleteThank God. Can we please get back to more important things like expanding streetcar at any cost?
ReplyDeleteCathy Nugent? Ask her how Denver fared!
ReplyDeleteTony,
ReplyDeleteWhy is there no reporting from the mainstream news of the current hotel shortage? Last night all hotel rooms in the Kansas City area, including as far as Lawrence were Sold Out. It is my understanding that a large convention, Skills USA, is in town as well as some other military exercise. This is great news for the city given that the taxes on many of these rooms are north of 15%. I am pretty sure the same is true for tonight. Every hotel that is branded, so we are excluding the pay by the hour hotels, was and will be again sold out as far away as Lawrence. Some brands were even saying they were sold out as far as Topeka. If you want to check it out call 5, 10, 15 random hotels from Lawrence to OP to the Plaza to the airport and you will find this.
-Silence Dogood
check it, kansas city was a real contender. GOP scheduled the release of 2 finalists to see how hotels for skills went in kc.
ReplyDeleteI blame the Mexicans. Fucking Mexicans ruin everything in this town.
ReplyDeleteI hope my letter to the RNC about city manager Troy Schulte swayed their decision.
ReplyDeleteTony loves to hate Kansas City and all its people. He'd really, really be happier in Dallas. How about a fundraiser to buy him a one-way bus ticket to Dallas, and he can just open a blog there. He'll finally be with people who can appreciate his wonderfulness since Dallas is such a better place than KC.
ReplyDelete@131. Name is Tim numbnutz.
ReplyDeleteFYI, there is study out in Canada That examines the disorder that causes people from seeing anything but negative things.
Might want to spend sometime with the remedies.
@211
the RNC would have been great for KC, but we just didn't have the hotel rooms. Plain and simple. watch for the Mayor's statements to come, doesn't mean we need a tax subsidized hotel, but its the plain fact. The GOP was waiting for Skills, because they wanted to come to KC, but we just could not accomodate it.
ReplyDelete@211 I have witnessed otherwise fall into deep depression by just being with 20 feet of his body odor.
ReplyDeleteLearned people and I emphasize learned, refer to his personality type as energy vampire.
Running this blog is his feeble attempt to address his self esteem issues by drawing other Nancys to his circle.
By the way, put me down for $20.
Surely nobody REALLY thought Kansas City would be anyone's choice? With all the niggers and all their violence and ugliness, this is the last place a rational human would want to hold a convention.
ReplyDeleteCleveland is lily white and not a huge slum????? You are ignorant.
DeleteOH yes! I am on Tony's framily plan and we hate blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Jews, and anyone that I perceive to be different that me.
ReplyDeleteOn yes 231, more whites would have brought the convention here.
ReplyDeleteAny other insights from 1942?
Troy Schule? He's a Negro too. No wonder we did not win.
ReplyDeleteWe also hate gays.
ReplyDeleteBut we are reconsidering if they are gun nuts. Will get back to you.
2:34, 2:31 has a valid point minus the hate behind it. the violence near hotels convention goers would have had to stay at is unacceptable. who from the DNC or RNC would want to stay at the admiral-paseo motel on independence avenue? no one. its not a clean hotel, read the reviews. and yet with the convention we have in town now, that place is sold out. call them and ask.
ReplyDeleteOur Mayor has a man crush on a terrible President. The ideology is so close. Force things on the people that they are not asking for. Too many sissy hipster liberals walking around without a clue, and mobs on the plaza. Not the ideal place for a Republican convention.
ReplyDeleteI know a guy who was staying at that motel for like a week. Kept complaining of a foul odor in his room.
ReplyDeleteThey finally came in and pulled a dead guy out from under the bed!
btw -guys name is Denny and he was one crazy mofo himself, as you might have guessed.
EXCELLENT POST!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSCORED on multiple points!!
TKC, tipsters, and the comment crowd had it right all along!!
OLD LEGACY MEDIA had it WRONG...again!!
Why didn't KC compete for the Demo Convention?
ReplyDeleteUgly public loss for Sly,
ReplyDeleteP Bear, the bigot Polar Bear, called Cleveland three weeks ago and he said they would win because OHIO is one of the major states that Republicans need to win.
ReplyDeleteThe hotels in KC are a disaster. Straight out of 1985.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that the cum guy has left Cathy Nugent alone. Any way, what is her position on unsolicited bulk email?
ReplyDeleteShe a fan.
ReplyDeleteYep, it's coming. Mayor James: "This is why we've been stating for years the need for a new PUBLICLY FINANCED 1000 room hotel downtown. Now, it's so bad, we're going to need SEVERAL 1000 room hotels downtown if we want to compete for larger conventions. And I'm going to do everything in my power as mayor of this MotherFucking town to put a measure on the ballot for the largest tax increase I can get to raise enough tax payer dollars to build the hotels we need to compete with the Dallas', Denvers' and Indianapolis' for these conventions. Because these types of projects should absolutely always be publicly funded while the spoils go to corporations"
ReplyDeleteWatch, it's coming...stay tuned.
3:55 i thought the drury family from creve couer were willing to build a drury plaza downtown and were turned away, and tney wanted to do it with minimal to no public money.
ReplyDeleteCK will ALWAYS be a democrap shithole cowtown! But it will have a sreetcar that goes NOWHERE. Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!
ReplyDelete4:07 why do you keep talking about the streetcar? chastain and the tax district will cancel eachother out in august, big setback for streetcar.
ReplyDeleteScott Drury and his brother were here several times this year, they got not so much as a smile from Dunn or burns & mc, they actually showed up supporting a function for a 501 c 3 here in KC that kcp&l, burns & mc and the city was boycotting at the time, funny how hatred comes in and bites you in the ass
ReplyDeleteA loss for Sly and City Hall and a win for the people.
ReplyDeleteDitto! 4:51
ReplyDeleteYeah, this news is SHOCKING! Just another example of KC and their idiot colored mayor thinking they're big time, when really they're just the cowtown they've always been and always will be. Quit fighting it and embrace it.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean the Streetcar's over too?
ReplyDeleteBREAKING!!! I DANCE WITH GLEE OVER A KANSAS CITY FAILURE!!!
ReplyDeleteWell good for you. That's all I'm getting from this, Tony.
But it is better to try, and fail, than to not try at all. Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
Real talk
ReplyDeleteIs that how you are justifying Sly wasting so much KC money on this $40 thousand at least from police. A damn shame is what it really is. We have a mayor who thinks City Hall is like a piggy bank. The man needs to grow up.
ReplyDeleteWell, we would have been chosen if only we'd had a magic streetcar.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU GAWD!
ReplyDeleteTKC told us and we should have listened. TKC always hits the nail on the head. Thank you, TKC. Kansas City is out of its league. The City sucks and well... local government can't do anything right as clearly demonstrated with this lose. Now, we can move on and get things like sewers fixed, sidewalks repaired and for God's sake no allow anymore disabled children to be killed in traffic because there are no sidewalks. SMH
ReplyDeletethe drury brothers are trying to one up each other. we could have had a monster hotel sly wants downtown. hell they gave over a 100 million just to have a private audience with pope john paul II when he came to st louis.
ReplyDelete3:32 winner!
ReplyDeleteonce again kansas city shits on the northland. the whole james v burke mayors race result was set after the primary. but a large part of mayor james success came from the northland vote. northland public safety residents, ie local 42, and the northland republican vote, ie the kc st joe diocese (scott wagner) and some strong italian support. the loss of this convention for the reasons we lost probably won't spell sly's doom in reelection since he is the incumbent, but is the second (or more) slap to those that are growing in this city.
ReplyDeleteWhat??? You drunk?
Deletemayor james, don't always count on the rank and file following the your political insiders. we tolerate. for every fulcrum there is a tipping point.
ReplyDeleteBoJamesgle danced and did he gorilla minstrel thang all for naught.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious. The Republicans just defeated Sly in the next mayoral election and they made Kansas City pay the tab.
ReplyDeleteThat makes no sense
DeleteYou know, a lot of you people are screwed up. It seems to me that this blog likes KC because this is the only place willing to tell the truth and try to make it interesting. Everybody else is just working public relations or advertising.
ReplyDeleteTo those who desire to find fault, they never have to look far. They often find facts to support their negative conclusion, but their glee in finding fault marginalizes them from others.
ReplyDeleteThen they come to Tony's KC, where the collective whine of complaining is constant and persistent. The major actors of which include an over weight Hispanic without a real job, a bear that expresses love of the klan, and a cum rape guy that somehow feels better through the written expression of sick misogyny. Oh, and the self-loathing dweeb who is trying to come up with a new verb.
Free speech be damned. If the government shut down Tony's KC, I would shrug and go on my way.
To the haters, here's hoping the Royals win tonight and stick it up your rear ends.
So, just as yet another chapter in the KCMO clown show comes to an end, another door will open and in will walk a couple more con men from out of town with the latest "can't lose" deal to sell those hard-hitting business types that the city residents elect to city office.
ReplyDeleteWhat shell is the pea under this time?
7:36, I think the cum guy wants a date with you. Let's see what he wants to do.
ReplyDeleteCan we get back to Slys whistle stop trolly campaign tour of KC?
ReplyDeleteAnyone yearn for the return of the Gruesome Twosome... La Famille Squitiro?
ReplyDelete7:36 you are no better than those you try and smear.
ReplyDeleteThe skills convention isnt coming back to KC after this year, The spokesman for the outfit said "why should we bring a convention to your city with a theme of bringing people from all across the country who have skills to a city that even the local government has none of!
ReplyDeleteSkills is leaving...we dont need any new hotels and the tax that comes with it to build. The ole adage is if you build it they will come, but who the fuck would want to come to Kansas City for anything? If you have a reason to post why people would come you are the reason they dont!
ReplyDelete7:36 Shut up and gobble the goop.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, 926 can't help but prove 736's point.
ReplyDeleteI think the problem is most people see a city as a unit, living in the same area, taking pride in that area, voting people into office to further that goal, but obviously not in Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteHahahaaha Bill George just LOST tons of cash with the RNC not coming to KC, while it might be a sad day for some with that news, Its a victory for all those who have been effected by the KC taxi and transportation monopoly...KARMA is a bitch mobster George hahahahaah
ReplyDeleteStephanie Bruno needs too grab some new fire fighter cock and get over her fat fire fighter BF/ Husband or whatever and stay off my TV with her BS story. A hot head fire fag punched a cop, he got shot and killed because he was drunk and thought he had fire department power...glad one fire fag bit the dust!!!
ReplyDeleteYou people are fucked up. Get outside and do something productive
ReplyDelete11:43 PM..fukced up huh?
ReplyDeleteName one City dept or city agency or government service that is not fukced up...C'mon mr. smartdass name it.
You positive loons with the city hall phallus making your adams apple budge tell me how the city is doing on stopping senseless murders or tell me how the kcsd is producing productive minimally educated skolars.
GOP to KC....gimme a break ober here ..how bout it huh.
ReplyDeleteWho in their right mind thought we had a chance?
What a total waste of city resources and our tax dollars.
Wish the Nugent gal will hurry up and sing to it can be totally over.
7:36: We really wouldn't mind not finding fault, but there's just so damn much of it, and I don't think many of us are gleeful about it--especially those who try to work with this amazingly incompetent self-serving city bureaucracy.
ReplyDeleteSorry you don't support free speech. I imagine a lot of our city officials are with you on that one.
7:36pm, sorry to hear the Roy'al's didn't win last night. Now, get on your knees and lick my nasty, nut sack and STFU. Ass clown.
ReplyDeleteNot about hotels or we wouldn't have made it to finals. Stop trying to sell a new hotel.
ReplyDeleteDon't see how you can call this a failure. They did exactly what they intended to do, give their buddies more taxpayer money while at the same time Sly gets his face time.
ReplyDeleteAnd it worked.
Wonder what scheme they'll try next
Simple, we lost because we could not prove we could keep the tea-baggers out. The re-branding monster the GOP created has come back to bite the hand that fed it. Unless the GOP can keep those kinds of nuts away and give them less "ammo to fire" then the more chance they have of possibly winning.
ReplyDeleteBut when you have an area of tea-bagging nuts: wanna-be-billionaire millionaire gun toting JoCo Locos to Missouri Ozark Klan members furious over a black president pitching their (false narrative) message here would be even harder.
Mistreatment of Cathy Nugent:
ReplyDeletethe random shootings at JCCC ;
sniper on highway ;
crime that was happening around westport; downtown and plaza did not help our case...
Next time we market the city we can worry more about public safety and less about appearances, no one wants to choose a city where you can be shot or attacked while your visiting the city. That hast to be top priority.
As I said from the Git-go: it will be Cleveland.
