No I've given up on someone who claims to have ESP.
Hard to argue with what you "know."
I can imagine what would happen if Oberweis had said something like Bush (America isn't ready to overturn Roe V. Wade or America isn't ready to stop abortion), or something like John Roberts (Roe v. Wade is settled law).
Very Kerry-esque language, too.
Yet, like with Oberweis, the right-to-life groups endorsed them, too. Idiots. They need better ESP.
I hate to do this, but you leave me little choice:
"He argues the way to clean up government is to remove the incentive for politicians to bend the rules. Brady would limit the size of political donations that politicians can accept." -- Wow! It's John McCain!! Pro Campaign finance reform! (

“I think we should teach the Bible in our schools,” Brady said. “One of the basic, fundamental voids we have in our school system is bringing God into the system.”
Asked if he would teach intelligent design as an alternative to evolution, Brady said, “I think we should teach everything that educates our children, and I think bringing God and the Bible into that is critically important.”
Brady calls himself a “mainstream conservative.” He says that means he is conservative on social issues but is more concerned about getting things done than fighting ideological battles.
He opposes abortion even in cases of rape and incest, but Brady said as governor he would “move incrementally” and look for COMMON GROUND on issues of parental consent and late-term abortion.
"Common ground" on abortion? Very Kerry-eque.
"He says that means he is conservative on social issues but is more concerned about getting things done than fighting ideological battles." Hmmm......sounds like a Pro-Life libertarian type from this statement. Basically says he won't fight for Pro-Life values and social issues, because he's more "interested in getting things done." Gotta avoid those radioactive social issues when you're in office - need common ground, because you don't want to alienate the Pro-Abort types.
What does your ESP say about this? Doesn't sound like he's a guy who's going to fight for Pro-Life values, does it? Sounds a lot like John McCain on social issues, immigration, and Campaign finance reform, doesn't he?
And yet, I believe he would fight for us. Same with Oberweis. I think your ESP is malfunctioning.
So you can't defend Oberweis and have moved to attacking Bill Brady.
Interesting. Or, actually, not interesting to me.
Jim Oberweis was all for legal abortion in his race in 2002, lost, decided he's switch to the opposite view for his next race, discovered that he's against illegal immigration, sucked up to George Ryan, lost, got to his next race, decided he's against GOP corruption --
Every cycle it's something new with him.
