LoL why in the world will anyone supporting the GOP’s candidate apologize to you or anyone else here? Particularly when every Republican vote is likely to be critical. You are deluding yourself.
Kirk will not give most of us voting for him all we want there is no argument about that but his election is critical for control of the Senate. It is really simple.
Then after election go right ahead and organize to remove him.
Oh, and Carol was NOT elected by “talkradio” people and she was not “unknown” at all by anyone conscious. And you are admitting that YOU voted for Braun? WOW.
Yes, I and many others voted for Carole Mosley-Braun. It was a gamble that it would result in Peter Fitzgerald, the best thing to happen to IL politics in my lifetime.
The gamble paid off. Sometimes such gambles do not pay off.
do you dispute the value of Peter Fitz in naming Patrick Fitz to clean up corruption in BOTH parties?
And my litmus test is corruption, not other issues. I’ve voted for. and worked for, plenty of moderates in the past when I thought it would benefit anti-corruption.
Some of that working for moderates was a big mistake and
I APOLOGIZE ... I APOLOGIZE
I worked hard for Topinka in ‘98 thinking that when Ryan would be thrown out of office she would become GOP State Chair and LEARN from the Ryan experience and join the conservatives in cleaning out corruption.
I WAS WRONG. When she became GOP State Chair she went out of her way to protect the corruption within the party. Numerous specific anecdotes can be given to demonstrate that. George Ryan destroyed the party. She had the opportunity to re-build it. But she went out of her way to prevent the re-building of the party.
