I am returning from a Republican Picnic and what I witnessed is absolutely astounding. I have been on the forefront of the illegal immigration battle, including being one of the original Minutemen on the Arizona/Mexico border in 2005 for the Original Minuteman Border watch.
With all the talk of Tea Parties and bringing back the Constitution, I learned it's just that. a LOT of talk.
I do not need to give most of you the run down on illegal immigration and Illinois. Or the shambles the Democratic and Republican parties ( Is There any difference?)have left Illinois in.
The Illinois Republican candidate for Governor announced that he had NO opinion on The Arizona law SB1070. Then weeks later he came out with his infinate wisdom. He supports MORE LEGAL immigration.
With that being said, I was asked to come up to the microphone today and give a few words on whats going on with illegal immigration.
This is what I said and as far as I got before the Microphone was shut off: I said folks, SAVING THE AMERICAN WORKER is what it's all about!
Will you please ask Bill Brady, (Illinois GOP gubernatorial Candidate)how will MORE Legal immigration help the 25 Million Americans who are out of work?
At that point the microphone was shut off because the State Chairman of Lake County BOB COOK, said I was bashing Bill Brady, the Republican Candidate for Governor.
I said " I told the voters to ask Bill how more legal immigration would help unemployed Americans, I did not BASH HIM!" To which Bob Cook replied, yes it is bashing.
This is the same group that is telling people they MUST vote for MARK KIRK who can't tell the truth to save his life and votes Ultra-Liberal all the time.
Anyway, the moral of the story is, these people use the phrase upholding the Constitution every chance they get.
Have they EVER heard of FREE SPEECH??
Does a 3rd party have a Chance?
Well I have been out to lots of Tea Parties and I always get the same response. MARK KIRK SUCKS. The establishment is trying to shove him down our throats. I DO believe as far as this Senate race, There is a chance!
People Hate LYING Mark Kirk.
Renaissance PAC is run by Jack Roeser who ABSOLUTELY HATED MARK KIRK! He has his own radioshow and would talk about Mark Kirk LIKE A DOG!
NOW?? Jack Roeser sings MARK KIRK PRAISES from the mountain tops! Thats really all I know about it! And Jack Roeser is giving mega bucks to the Illinois GOP.
I am glad you know what you are talking about, I really don’t.
Sorry, You are correct, I guess I was thinking more in the Spirit of the law, Not the letter of the law.
But you are correct.
The guy who turned off the mike I have known a LONG time. We have gotten along well. Very well. The point is the minute I asked the voters to ask the candidate a question about his view on legalizing 30 million illegal aliens, it was considered bashing.
We cannot ask Republican candidates how would 30 million more people who came here illegally would befefit 25 million Americans who do not have jobs right now? Or you get the microphone turned off because a question was asked??
Do you remember when the GOP shut down Oberweis because of his illegal immigration stance when he ran for Senate in 04?
You can bet the elitists will find a way to take over the Tea Party.
ABSOLUTELY, and LAST weekend at the Barlett Tea Party Illinois State Rep Randy Ramey told the crowd he was introducing ARIZONA TYPE legislation to the General assembly when they go back.
That was 8-14-2010
THis past week Tom Cross Shut down the Bill Randy Ramey was gonna inroduce. Randy said this week Tom Cross shut him down.
Nothing I hear about thst part of the country can surprise me.
I’m also an IL conservative, rather fed up with both parties here. However, your 1st amendment freedom of speech does not guarantee your right to take over a microphone at a Republican political event and say what you please.
If you read ANY of the posts, We addressed this already.
I asked a question, I told voters to ask a question.
Say what ever I please? Our country is going down the tubes and our fellow Americans are out of work,asking a simple appropriate question is NOT the same as SAYING what ever I please.
The old pat on the back and silent threat.
I don't think what they did (turning off the mic) was right, but just to be clear, you don't speak for me nor for many other conservative Freepers on this issue.
When they turned off the mike your question was answered for all to hear in no uncertain terms. You succeeded in outing the buzzard.
Time to shake the dust off and walk on.
Sounds like Illinois has something worse than a RINO. They have a LIRK (Liberal in Republican costume).
Was this a Republican event or a tea party event? If it was a GOP event what does it have to do with tea parties?
I'll say...YES.
From the land of Lincoln to the land of Hussein.
Thanks for the info. Next question. Does he have a chance?
Hell, he is a democrap!
