Da Coach has to run he brought us a Superbowl!!! He'd win in a heartbeat.
Does this mean we've got a number of former Bears-coached-by-Ditka fans out there? Lots of freepers who want a Republican to defeat Obama? People who respect men who make up their minds and stick to it, and who can take the subsequent attempts by the press to bring them down?
Yup, he sure did.
I think United States Senator is not for the guy who pulled the trigger on the trade deal and draft that got them Ricky Williams... god only knows what kind of bonehead moves he'd make in the Senate.
...he blows up at a 'softball' like this?
I wonder if Da Coach hadn't yet made up his mind, and some idiot in the Illinois GOP wanted to force his hand.
Driving back from Louisiana yesterday, I heard a sports commentator quoting a former [now deceased] Saints GM about Ditka:
"Ready, Fire, Aim!"
The GOP should run him probably because he is their only shot at this seat and it will cause some that did not to identify with the GOP. But he will certainly not be a standard Senator. Of course if he punched Leahy, it is not like he would have raised a weapon against him which I believe has happen in the US Capitol in history.
Oh, I disagree. He should just be running for the Dems (a la Hillary, Terry McAuliffe, the Impeached Rapist...).
Welcome to Free Republic. I'm sure you'll like it here.
Sounds like Ditka wants to do things his way without the Ill GOP tripping him up every two seconds. How much you wanna bet it was LaHood or one of the other RINOscum who made sure the media would be there waiting for him?
Didn't want you to miss this thread.
Having read the entire thread, I'm hoping Ole' Mike is just putting the Central Committee in their place and will come back at a later time to announce.
Quite frankly, it doesn't matter how loose his cannon is,, we need the Pubbie in that seat in the Senate. Even one term is better than nothing!
I suspect the residents of Illinois are accustomed to Mike's outbursts and will not be taken back by his bad boy behavior with the press & the Central Committee.
If a little leak bothers Mike, he ain't ready for Prime Time!
Back to the Viagra ads Mike!
