OH Come on TRG. So go ahead and defend a vote to pay for Illegal aliens Tuition!!

The only bone that folks keep throwing around to bash Jim Oberweis with is that he made a "Taliban statement" In a Illinois Leader Interview he explained his "Media Gone Wild" Statement......

IL: I have some questions that have been circulating, and ones to which you deserve the opportunity to respond. It goes back to this comment, the so-called “Taliban” comment that suggested prolifers were like the Taliban on a radio show. Did you say this?

OBERWEIS: Absolutely false. That is not what happened. That is what I was referring to earlier, when I said I started with the statement, “I am prolife . . .” and mentioned the Taliban as my concern about government expressing too large of a role in our lives. So, you know, I’ve answered that a dozen times, or more than that.

IL: So you’re saying it was pulled out of context, at a very volatile time, when it would have been interpreted as the ultimate insult. . .

OBERWEIS: I will tell you that the chain of events was started when the quote was sent to the New York Catholic League. They believed what they were told - which was not accurate. When I explained what had happened, they sent a letter back saying that they found it to be very open and forthright, characteristics that would go a long way to the U.S. Senate. Of course, those comments got printed on page 16 of the paper.

IL: Are you Catholic?

OBERWEIS: Yes.

Hey TRG, When did you start to care about pro-lifers? Did I miss some thing? A Conversion maybe?
The SPIN stops Here! :-)

So HOW much are we betting??

I won't try to defend Rauschy's vote on that, and there's probably several other votes he's cast that I don't agree with -- maybe even 10 or 20. But let's just assume the number of his votes I disagree with is 50. He's cast over 5000 roll call votes. That means I agree with him 99% of the time -- that's a pretty strong reason to vote for the guy.

What has Obie EVER voted for??? NADA!!!

It's real easy to spout off about whatever you want when you've never actually had to stand up and be counted on anything ever in your entire life.

Hey TRG, When did you start to care about pro-lifers? Did I miss some thing?

Question is, did you miss something. I've been pro-life since the day I was born (oopps I meant conceived) -- do I need to carry a pickled fetus around in a mason jar in search of converts in order to prove it, I don't think so.

A Conversion maybe?

I don't think so. I am still heterosexual, so far as I know ;^)

The SPIN stops Here! :-)

Wrong, the spin stops March 17. We can kiss and make up then, provided I haven't been converted.

So HOW much are we betting??

How's 'bout $20. Even money that Rauschy beats Obie. You pay me 2-1 if Rauschy beats Obie by more than 4 points. Does that work for you?
