Chicago Freeper get together
ME

Posted on 05/24/2006 11:34:07 PM PDT by ashamedtobefromparkridge

Anyone interested in putting together a shindig this summer for Illinois/Wisconsin/Indiana members?

Or is anything already planned?

WE have to defeat Blagoevitch. No fan of Topinka but NO BLAGO!

Too bad there's a large contigent of IL FReepers that would rather sit by and let Blago win because of their hatred for Topinka.

Illinois is a lost cause. Corruption is a tradition in Illinois state politics. I remember one time all of the living ex-govenors were serving jail time.

Illinois needs to be broken up into three states, with Northern Illinois, Central Illinois, and Southern Illinois becoming states.

BTW, I am a former Illinois resident.

"BTW, I am a former Illinois resident."

I am a current resident, unfortunately. Blago must go, but I must say, the thought of voting for RINO Topinka makes me gag. The idea of a get together of State Freepers however, is attractive. Let me know if plans are ever made beyond the talking stage. Nice of Ashamed to suggest this.

There is absolutely no difference between Blago and Topinka. None whatsoever.

I'll be leaving that part of my ballot empty this November.

For the first time ever, I'm considering that too.

The Illinois GOP got me to vote for my first Dem in 20 years when they ran that anti-2nd, pro-abortion, now convicted felon George Ryan. I pulled the lever for the pro-gun, pro-life Dem Glen Poshard.

The Illinois GOP managed to get by without my vote that time. I imagine they'll muddle through without the likes of me again this time.

We had our chance in the primaries to offer a real choice. WE blew it.

Too bad there's a large contingent of IL Freepers who let Judas win the primary, quite frankly there is not One Dime's difference between the two candidates. But go ahead and flip your double-headed coin if you think it'll do any good.

Actually, make Cook County it's own state and there might be some hope for the rest of us.

Only Kerner and Walker (DEMOCRATS) were convicted and sent to jail. I don't believe they were both in jail at the same time. Lyin' Ryan is still out on appeal.

Rather than give up on the big cities the GOP should challenge the RAT crime machines which control them. There is no civilization or culture without cities. In fact, there has NEVER been a significant civilization not centered upon a city or cities.

Chicago is the economic engine which powers a multi-state Region not merely Illinois.

Uh, no. Crook county needs to be ceded to Canada - OR split up and absorbed by the surrounding counties of Lake, Kane, DuPage and Will. That in itself would solve all the problems.

Seriously, if it wasn't for Crook County, Dubya would have won IL in both 2000 and 2004.

Why are you ashamed to be from Park Ridge ... could it be that Hillary's from Park Ridge. FReeper beesba claims to have boinked her back in the 60s.

I am next door in Des Plaines and have hosted several summer FReeper gatherings ... typically around Labor Day in election years (the last was in 04). Maybe we should get another one in the planning stages.

Actually, there are more republican votes in Cook County than downstate ... unfortunately they are totally overwhelmed in number by the RATs.

I guess they got their fill when they took the advice of their Republican friends and voted for Ryan to keep Dems out of office.

Yes there is, she's worse if that's possible.
