Dog the Bounty Hunter will smash his crack pipe.
George Ryan is a Republican. But you knew that.
D’oh. Through = Threw
Yes, I did. I just found it amusing that ‘Das Kapitol Times’ isn’t shouting it from the rooftops, LOL!
However, they got a Rostenkowski jab in there. ;)
Put him in with the death row inmates.
The MSM perhaps did not list the party since Ryan was a lib??
Yeah, right. Just a slip up at the paper. Heads will roll.
I see Illinois is still hauling it’s trash up to Wisconsin to deal with.....
Surely you didn't buy Poshard's act? Rats like him talk a "conservative" game in order to get elected. Then they raise taxes and do everything they can to push the Euro-style, secular-socialist welfare-state agenda, just like the rest of the scumbag Democrats. Homo marriage anyone? "Fisting" for third-graders?
Sure, there are "conservative Democrats", lol. And a tooth fairy, an Easter bunny...
“Put him in with the death row inmates.”
Ehh, he will think he is dead already, only to find out he is in Wisconscin instead....
The perp is a Pub.
The State of Illinois and the Illinois Republican Party would be in better shape if Poshard had won over Ryan for governor IMHO.
Yes, I know.
Yeah, I’m in Illinois and I “buy his game.” He was a downstater, and was much more pro-gun and pro-babies. IUt was Ryan who put on the act. Oh, and once in, Ryan pushed for a 12 BILLION dollar roads bill and claimed he wanted to phase out the tolls. Since then, he got his 12 bil, the tolls have been doubled and expanded for those who don’t use iPass.
I voted for Poshard, and the pro-lifers who voted Ryan regretted it as he couldn’t even sign off on an anti-partial birth abortion bill.
Poshard wasn’t supposed to win the primary. The combine plays with Republicans in Illinois.
Oh, and your guy Casey (the elder not the sickening younger) was more of a straight shooter than Ridge ever dreamed of being.
1. I agree 100% about Ryan - - he’s a complete scumbag, corrupt to the core, and a perfect representative of the corrupt GOP in Illinois.
2. I voted for Bob Casey (the elder) over Barbara Hafer (who has since switched parties to rat, where she belonged in the first place).
3. If Poshard was any kind of a decent human being, he wouldn’t be a Democrat. His party affiliation tells me automatically that he’s a scumbag and a liar. At least with the Republicans it’s still the exception (like Ryan) rather than the rule.

Well, all I can say is that I hope Illinois can do better in the future than run one complete scumbag against the other. Is there any hope at all for the GOP in Illinois, or is it hopelessly corrupt like the GOP in New Jersey and California?

I am not pretending that Poshard is Phil Crane or Henry Hyde. But I will say that the best Democrats (Zell Miller, Bob Casey, John Silber) are better than the worst Republicans (Lowell Weicker, William Weld). At some point, we are going to need two parties that actually love their own home, and when the hippies finally DIE OFF those who buy into it still can spin their wheels with the Green Party or something. I envision a future (albeit in my dreams) where a Huckabee-type would be a leading Democrat and a Tom Coburn type would be a leading Republican. A Poshard, a Zell Miller, Bob Casey or a Jim Lawlor (CT pro-life Dem who was torpedoed by 3rd party Weickercrat Lynn Taborzak in ‘90 for US Rep) will be needed at some point to provide decency to the Democrat party, or (in other dreams) its successor.
He was also accused of taking his “trophy wife” on a tour of the Chicago ‘porn underground’. She had pressed charges against him—once his corruption charges started hitting the fan....
Oh yeah she is Jeri Ryan the actress.
