I am simply disgusted with the State GOP leadership, which needs a major purge.
I'm not familiar with the IL GOP org as such. Can you describe it a little for me. Are the leadership elected, appointed or just how do they get the positions they have? Where in your opinion do they fit into the political spectrum.... far right, right, center, left, far left.....
Thanks for any input you may can share.
In the political spectrum, I guess you could say 'moderate' (probably mid-leftish if you compared to Texas). Practically, though, they are just another part of the vast graft culture that permeates the state; the only difference between Daleyism (D) and George-Ryanism (R) is whose supporters gets the asphalt contracts.
I'm a native Iowan who has lived in the North Shore 'burbs of Chicago for 7 years. I am perpetually sickened by the Louisiana-style cesspit of corruption of this state, regardless of the party. I am even more sickened by the shoulder-shrugging attitude of the voters, who seem to think it's colorful and funny.
