George Ryan is proof that the people of IL will vote Republican if they can be assured that the "Republican" they are voting for is not a "real Republican."

Is that why I voted for Pat O'malley cause he wasn't a real pubbie, BTW 7 of 9's husband is running for senator.

No I am not voting in the primary after 31 years as a registered pubbie, became and independent.

With all due respect -- WRONG.
In the republican primary I voted for Pat O'Malley, a conservative and supporter of the 2nd Amendment. Then after he lost I voted for Glen Poshard - a DEMOCRAT in the general election. Yes a dem, because Poshard was more of a republican in thought and actions that Ryan ever would or could be (fiscal conservative & supporter of the 2nd Amendment). And the kicker was that the Daley Machine was 'not-so-covertly' backing Ryan OVER Poshard the democrat. That alone should have been the red flag for the sheeple.

Now I realize you're in Texas so you don't know Ryan's 'history', but he's ALWAYS been a scum-bag power hungry crook. He hails from down state, Kankakee, and if the dems were the party in power he would have been a dem when he got into politics.

I'm PROUD that I've never, ever, voted for Ryan for state wide office, starting with his run for Lt. Gov. (a do-nothing job in IL). His abuse of that office and public money should have put him in jail then. Unfortunately corruption in IL is a bi-partisan affair so nothing was done.

It will take years to repair the destruction he and his cronies have done to the republican party here. A total and complete house cleaning is in order.

Kindly excuse that rant, but the mere mention of George Ryan gets me boiling. And for the record -- I HATE HIS GUTS!!
