We can’t afford another Senator Simon

After Carol Mostly Fraud and Lisa, never tried a case in my life, Madigan, IL voters will elect anyone so long as they are a D. Hard to believe that this is the state that voted for Ford over Cater by 2% and gave Reagan a larger margin of victory in 1980 than he had nationally.

Illinois south of I-80 and west of I-355 needs to suceed from the rest of the state. It would actually be as conservative as Kansas and about the same population too.

Jack Ryan will be the next Illinois Senator if conservatives get out the vote.

Absolutely! Turnout is always important but it is what this election is about at both the state and national levels.

Hatred is driving the left. We need to motivate our side to equal intensity, if not in kind.

While I agree that Jack Ryan should be the next Senator from the State of Illinois, he might not be. Unlike Carol Mostly Fraud, this guy is articulate, polished, charismatic, and presents a great appearance. He is the type of black liberal that the liberal press loves to extol. They will give short shrift to the bankrupt liberalism of his ideas and focus on the opportunity that the Illinois electorate has to make history and send this anointed liberal political saint to the Senate. If ever a political race should be about ideas and philosophy, then this one should be it. It's hard to imagine a starker contrast between the ideas of the candidates. Barack Obama thinks that the purpose of government is to equalize outcomes between different groups of people, and Jack Ryan thinks the free market and individual merit should prevail. I fear that this race will be framed by the mainstream media has an opportunity for Illinois to show the nation how progressive we are by voting in the socialist Barack Obama.

I am talking about St. Clair County.

I lived in downtown Oakland for nine years. I now live in Santa Cruz County, California, home of the UN Agenda21. You can't tell me anything I don't already know about tough neighborhoods or communists.

Do it anyway, one vote at a time. That's what "lives, fortunes, and sacred honor," really means. Those are the stakes and always have been.

He remained politically active until the very end. Too bad he wasn’t buried in Chicago; he could still be a registered voter. IMHO, this is the best line of this really great article.
