Illinois Ping
Thanks for the ping - bookmarked for later reading.
We all know 'KJ' right? No?
IIRC he was the guy who worked with Blago on that bond deal that just happened to line KJ's own pockets with MILLIONS in *finders fees* (heeeeeeeellooo Combine).
Or this 'KJ', who is Karl Rove's Best friend, and who both decided that those 'extremist' conservatives were ruining the IL GOP and must be purged. Especially that dam Senator Peter Fitzgerald. That sob was just too conservative and too independent and wouldn't play footsie with the White House dammit!
If that 'KJ' doesn't ring a bell, then there's THIS KJ -- the KJ that just happened to be appointed as Treasurer of the 2008 RNC Convention. No I'm not kidding KJ was Treasurer. Well he does have experience handling Big Money so that must have been it. Being Karl Rove's Best Friend had nooooothing to do with it.
So until KJ is gone, in prison (he IS mentioned in the Rezko indictments for that *finders fee*) or otherwise, the IL GOP will NOT change. The Combine will rule, the IL GOP will be filled with corrupt RINOs, and we'll be wandering in the desert for forty years.
(just my 2¢)
