Wiki Answers:
This is an expression related to the Jonestown mass suicide. They put deadly poison in the Kool-Aid that the followers then drank killing hundreds. Drink the Kool-Aid means to go along with the program or to allow yourself to be manipulated.

Just for your information. It's not racial!!

And calling people children sounds like something Sykes would say and you put people down for just breathing.

So go on with your divers-ness please.

POOR YOU! POOR SOUTH SIDE. You have been fed a bunch of lies by Sykes and drank his koolaid. Richard Melendez was a south side council member. Did he do all kinds of good things for us too?
I live in the South area and live in a nice neighborhood and have a very nice home. My property backs up to the paseos and it's peacefull here.
Maybe your house is a piece of *****. You should paint it or clean up your weeds. Well, never mind, you should just leave WC so we can finally stop hearing how bad you have it.
Do you need help packing?

Just assume my house is a piece of shit with weeds and a bad paint job. The only thing i can applaud the current council on is always voting down a wal-mart.

These conversations are so high school. Do you miss your high school days? Or is it fact you are still in high school making up rumors about others?

I think I am on to something here.

The Walmart was started Baldwin Park in 1999 4 years before one was proposed in West Covina. Get your facts straight.

He was making payments to the IRS he don't cheat them there's a big difference. I guess no one ever has been behind in there bills oh great!

Let us start a petition to recall Roger Hernandez, then we might actually have a city government that works! This clown has been a major source of disruption ever since he was elected!...No we don't need another clown in Sacramento, we more than enough now! Send him off to work as a "College Professor"

I would think having a government that doesn't work is more indicative of the incompetence and lack of oversight of the 4-1 majority.

no one bad apple can ruin the bunch. he is just a big disruption and he plays games. hes been reported to be abusive to people. hes like a child trying to play grown up. he needs to go off and be a jc professor, i agree artie d.

And you have named yourself appropriately.

Incompetence of the majority? And you can show proof that things are not done according to your rule? Seems to me that the voters spoke loud and clear and strongly dissagreed with your thoughts anyway.

If I read this right, and it took me a while to understand it, you are saying that the residents are incompetent by not providing oversight to the 4-1 City Council. Are you a resident of West Covina and therefore just called yourself one of those incompetent people, or an outsider with a worthless point of view?

Who and what defines a government that doesn't work is a point of view based on personal likes and dislikes. I for one beleive that the West Covina City Council, except for Hernandez, have done an excellent job in making our City a better place to live, work, shop and play. The streets are swept, trash is picked up, they address the ugliness of a landfill and provided recreation and shopping to the southern area of the City. Revenue is generated to pay for police and fire protection. Our City is safe and oh my gosh, they provide affordable senior housing (that must be a crime in a City that doesn't have grandparents or aging parents).

jansydmom the comment you just assumed makes you racist! The Sykes followers drink koolaid because they are like a cultthey believe he says (Jim Jones) hello! What were you refering to jansydmom you sound racist!

You should get YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT before you mouth off!! I happen to have been approached by the Sykes Campaign Committee and they're far from being a Jim Jones cult. I'm sure they're still doing quite well and not ready to commit suicide by drinking Koolaid i****!!!

The Sykes Campaign committee unfortunately resulted in lying in their campaigns. I've been approached and have been told many things that are simply not true. Although they may have sounded reasonable to you, they are not. They in fact sent out the hit piece against the City Council. Don't beleive me, check out the mailing number. They are the same. That's dirty politics and many people saw it. Whoever their leader is, he is telling everyone else what to believe and do. Unfortunately, the followers are following blindly, and that in my opinion makes the cult reference not that far off. By the way, I was one of the people that the Sykes came too and got mad at for not wanting to put up his sign. Scary bunch. But that's my opinion and I think everyone elses agrees as he didnt get elected (thank god).

I hope you didn't hurt your simple minded head too much thinking about my comment but you may want to take your argument to Arte D. I was responding to his comment about the government that doesn't work.

[bad move]

Mr.Kennedy is just a low life street enforcer for Mike Touhey.

[Peace]

Just commenting on what you wrote. It didn't make much sense. Lets just move on.

[Glenn Kennedy]

Mr.Bad Move, I have done my best to keep our city clean for last 3 years by volunteering my time.If you don't like me that's fine. But don't drag Mike Touhey into this. He has been nothing but good to me and my family. Just becuase i am poor dose not make me a low life.
