What does Illinois Tea Party candidate Michael Labno have to do to get some attention around here?
How about stop spliting the conservative vote and guranteeing a Democrat victory. That might be a start.
Most tea partiers have shown a lot of common sense this year. They got involved in the GOP primaries early, ousted the incumbent RINO, and replaced them with a conservative.
Anyone (everyone, no matter who they are) that forms a third party and calls it “The Tea Party” should be shunned, condemned, and cursed out to their face by tea partiers. 3rd parties just get Democrats elected, and are only formed by either Democrats (tring to split the conservative vote or conservative with no common sense.
Illinois conservatives do not owe to others outside our state the permanent removal of the Illinois GOP from ideological competition here. The unique level of bipartisan corruption that is Illinois calls for different methods than are called for in other states. The first priority here must be the destruction of Mark Kirk and his fellow Demonrats in GOP drag.
If it is any comfort, I will not vote third party. That would only be a half vote. I will vote for Giannoulias and make that a full vote since he is almost certain to wind up in jail sooner rather than later like our last two governors. We will elect a conservative governor Bill Brady for a change and he will get to appoint to the vacancy. Even if Giannoulias in a stunning upset manages to stay out of jail, he is not as clever as the evil Mark Kirk and will have far less staying power. We will make up for Kirk by electing actual Republicans elsewhere now, in 2012 and 2014 and beyond. Kirk will not vote for the babies, for marriage, for guns, for the military, for weapons, or for Western Civilization in general. We don't need numerical control of the Senate for the last two years of Obamunism. We need a supermajority by the 2012 election results to empower a new POTUS and ram through his judicial appointments.
When I lived in Connecticut, I had the privilege of helping pry Lowell Weicker out of his Senate seat. Lieberman has his drawbacks but is a far better senator and patriot than Weicker ever dreamed of being. Hopefully, we will defeat Kirk and remove him from public life once and for all.
There are a cornucopia of reasons for destroying Kirk and I tire of repeating them on thread after thread. Suffice it to say that, if you understood Illinois's unique politics and knew what slime Kirk is you would agree with those working to end his career.
Labno splits the conservative vote with Giannoulias and NOT with Kirk. No self-respecting conservative would be caught dead or alive voting for Lavender Markie.
Like Grunthor, I prefer that leftist quislings in public office be Demonrats and, I would add, brainless ones at that. Giannoulias fills the bill.
