Bellar throws mud with her “nun-sense” and phony sainthood
By Ray Hanania
Barbara Bellar
sent a letter to my home the other day, but I didn’t know if she was asking for
prayers as a former Nun (as we all know, she never was a nun), or just making a pitch for Obamacare as a Medical Doctor.
Turned out the letter was just a huge mud ball Bellar is throwing at taxpayer champion Liz Gorman, the
Orland Township Republican Committeewoman and the Republican Cook County
Commissioner who almost singlehandedly overturned the oppressive 1 percent
sales tax imposed by ousted Democratic County Board President Todd Stroger.
It was a
single page with text on both sides of the page, like one of those legal pitch letters from a credit card company filled with empty promises and exaggerated service claims.
All Bellar did in the letter was attack Liz Gorman and claim that she is too cozy with the Democrats. Are
you kidding me?
The truth is
that if anyone was sucking up to the extremists in the Democratic Party, it is
Bellar.

In a letter to
the Chicago tribune, Bellar praised Obama. And when she met with Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg, the left wing Democratic liberal and former president of the
ACLU, Bellar praised Ginsburg saying she admired her. Maybe that’s when she was hoping the
Democrats would give her a job.
Bellar is
attacking Gorman for hanging around Democrats? Are you kidding me. It’s all
more “nun-sense.”
By bashing
Gorman, Bellar wants you to believe she is a Republican Messiah of sorts,
although honestly like most of you, I’ve never heard of her before. And that is
a testament unto itself, considering I have been covering Chicagoland politics
for more than 35 years. Where was she and what did she ever do for the
taxpayers?
She’s done
nothing for the Republican Party or for Cook County taxpayers. But she sure
wants that public government job. The letter she sent reflects the kind of
disrespect false Messiahs show when they don’t know anything about what it means
to be a struggling taxpayer. It’s just a desperate attempt hoping you’ll put
her on the public payroll for doing nothing.
Bellar says
she cares about you because you are overtaxed. Well, at least she knows what
the problem is for most residents in Chicagoland. But when she assaults Liz
Gorman she reveals her true lack of knowledge and exposes herself as another
self-righteous false prophet.
In a prior
failed race for the 18th Senate District (she is working overtime
trying to put herself at the banks of the public trough) in 2012, she claimed
in her literature that she was a Catholic Nun. But many columnists and
journalists who covered that race point out that in fact, that’s not true.
Which is quite a quagmire since Nuns are supposed to not lie. But then, she
isn’t a nun so maybe a lie is in character?
Her campaign slogan
was “there is ‘nun’ better.” Well, at least the first part of that sentence was
true. There is none! It was all
“nun-sense.” Turns out Bellar, the wealthy medical doctor, was never a nun.
Just a wannabe nun like the wannabe elected government official she desperately
wants to be.
As I read
through the blah, blah, blah of her letter, and all the mudslinging she is
throwing at Gorman, it reminded me about how much Liz Gorman has actually done
for the taxpayers.
I won’t lie. I
like Liz Gorman. It’s pretty hard to top what Gorman did, almost singlehandedly
repealing the Stroger 1 Cent Sales Tax increase that was a true burden on the
taxpayers that Sister Bellar doesn’t seem to think is important. In fact, this
past week, the Chicago Tribune endorsed Gorman spotlighting how Gorman led that
battle almost by herself to succeed in repealing the Stroger Sales Tax.
Wealthy
doctors don’t know much about how the average person has to deal with taxes.
But they love to talk about how much they would do if you would just give her
your vote.
Well, Liz
Gorman doesn’t have to tell us what she “plans” to do if elected because what
she has done is more than most others have done.
The Stroger
Sales Tax was the most repressive tax ever imposed on Cook County residents.
Instead of fighting it, other county commissioners shockingly tried to increase
the tax to 2 cents. When Stroger was finally tossed out of office by angry
taxpayers, a lot of the commissioners who supported the tax increase reversed
and jumped on the Gorman bandwagon to reluctantly repeal the Stroger Sales Tax.
Gorman wasn’t
reluctant. She was persistent. She introduced the resolution three times to
repeal the Stroger Sales Tax. Most other commissioners would have given up when
the first effort failed. But not Gorman. She just kept on going.
And that makes
Bellar’s letter look even more stupid, especially when Bellar writes, “Liz
Gorman was close with the Todd Stroger team.”
You’re no Nun,
Doctor Bellar. Instead wasting the time trying to win public office, you should
go back to Church and ask for forgiveness. Forgiveness for lying. Forgiveness
for never lifting a finger to help the over-taxed homeowners of Cook County.
And, forgiveness for mailing out a sleazy campaign letter that spends every
drop of ink slandering a good person like Liz Gorman but never once offering a
single fresh idea on what you would if you ever happen to stumble into public
office.
Someone needs
to rap your knuckles with a ruler, Sister Bellar. But I think that slam is
coming in the Republican Primary Tuesday, March 18.
