There is now a general understanding among Conservatives; it is clear that the Republican Party of 2016 was intellectually bankrupt and the Party leadership was blindly inept. If Trump has done nothing else (and he has done much) he has shed a passel of Republican hangers-on. Perhaps all that is left is to bury once and for all the effete snowflake Republicans and create a new robust Conservative Party. If Trump wins, I predict it will happen just prior to the 2022 elections.

Did he say that from his jail cell?

He is jealous that Blagojevich was pardoned before him.

I don’t think this douche bag (Edgar) ever went to prison. But Blago certainly appears to be a changed man. He’s voting for Trump. I hear him on the radio talking to Mancow (AM 890 - mornings). It’s amazing to hear how much sense he makes now. I know he was crooked when he was in office but they definitely shafted him with his sentence and he knows it. Others have done so much worse and have never spent one second in prison. FUJE in spades.

Edgar has a think tank and is paid by the U Of I. If he goes against Biden, he is run out of town on a rail....

Kamala Harris Sponsored Bill to FORCE Schools To Let Male Athletes Compete In Girls’ Sports<>

Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris sponsored a Senate bill that would force public schools to allow biologically male athletes who identify as transgender on girls’ sports teams. . In March 2019, Harris cosponsored the Equality Act, which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls,..Also did this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3877890/posts

HERE’S HOW THEY TREAT CONSERVATIVE Congressional DEMOCRATS WHO DONT SUPPORT STUFF LIKE THIS and why there is no such thing as a Conservative Dem in Congress
Democrats weren’t happy with his votes against abortion and on being the only democrat to vote NO on allowing men to to call themselves a women and compete with women in college sports.
Those who live in Chicago already voted at their local public library. But in the reshaped 3rd Congressional district Daniel Lipinski lost because of redistricting. Which had previously included adjacent Chicago city wards to his 23rd in a district that dealt exclusively with city issues such as a subway L service and the Stevenson Expressway Wards which were reliable Dan’s father William O Lipinski supporters. But since most had areas with hispanic last names those areas were redistricted and assigned to Gutieriez’s district. Those results are posted below which actually tear up the concept of a neighborhood and pit people against each other by using division.

There seems to be a refusal in certain political circles known as the Swamp to blame the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) for deliberately using the Wuhan virus to create an economy here which would prevent Trump get reelected. Letting that happen will create problems we don’t need. Time we point out the loss of employment and the corruption involved.

Man Accused Of Raping 3-Year-Old At McDonalds Previously Arrested At Texas/Mexico Border
dfw.cbslocal.com ^ | February 28, 2020

Posted on 2/29/2020, 11:42:35 PM by lowbridge

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says a man who prosecutors allege sexually assaulted a 3-year-old girl in the stall of a McDonald’s restroom located in Chicago’s North River community 600 North Clark street should have been turned over to the agency last year.

Christopher Puente, 34, is charged with one count of predatory criminal sexual assault. Cook County prosecutors said he confessed to detectives that he’d placed the child on his lap while he was in a restroom stall, pulled off her pants, and covered her mouth when she started calling out “daddy daddy.”

The father had taken his two children to the restroom, taking his son into a stall while his daughter waited just outside in the restroom. According to prosecutors. Puente, who was in the next stall, lured the girl into his stall while her dad was preoccupied, pulled her into his lap, pulled down her pants and underwear, and sexually assaulted her.

In June 2019, ICE lodged an immigration detainer with the Chicago Police Department on Puente, who has several felony convictions and a prior removal, after he was arrested for theft.

“How many more victims must there be before lawmakers realize that sanctuary policies do not protect the innocent?” asked Robert Guadian, field office director of Chicago Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). “Puente should have been in ICE custody last year and removed to his home country. Instead, irresponsible lawmaking allowed him to walk free and prey on our most vulnerable.”

Bill Stratton was probably the last that came remotely close (1953-61).

"it is clear that the Republican Party of 2016 was intellectually bankrupt"

And 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000... 1992, for that matter.

Puke. I was just saying if some “moderate” douchebag ex-Governor was to endorse Biden, like Jim Edgar or Pete Wilson, the media would be SURE to let us know.

I think Impy nailed it a few years ago when he said Edgar might have been a decent Governor (especially compared to the five combiner scumbags in a row who followed him), but he has been a GODAWFUL HORRIBLE EX-Governor.

And like my previous statement about how all these “Republicans” like Colon Bowel Movement not endorsing a single member of “their” party in decades, I last remember Edgar endorsing a Republican in a contested race back in 2004, when he said he was going to vote for Alan Keyes over then state Sen. Barack Obama. So that was... 16 years ago now! (and he said immediately after the election anyway that Keyes was an ‘embarrassment’ and that he ‘regretted’ his endorsement)

And irony of ironies, when I was in college I did a paper on Illinois Governors, and the main source for getting biographical information about all of Illinois' Chief Executives is a book titled "Mostly Good and Competent Men"

Given that 5 out of 9 of the last Illinois governors have been INDICTED (and Edgar is one of the "good" ones who WASN'T indicted), I think a more accurate modern book of Illinois Governors would be titled "Mostly Bad And Incompetent Men"

I’m not so sure about him. He certainly was a good governor as far as they go but state RINOs don’t seem to hate him, George Ryan praised him at his funeral.

Dwight Green (1941-48) certainly was conservative. Bob Taft wanted the victorious Dewey to make Green his running mate in 1948, Dewey was like “lol no”.

Well, it wasn’t like they were going to bash him at his funeral. Stratton was around a long time, a senior statesman. Long enough that I was able to get a personally requested autographed photo from him back in the ‘90s.

Fun fact about Gov. Dwight Green: he autographed everything in a personalized green colored pen. Well, I thought it was amusing.

Sen. John Bricker should’ve been the 1948 nominee for President, maybe he’d have picked Gov. Green as his running mate.
