You are probably still smarting over the way Ronald Reagan and George Deukmejian lost California so regularly. Reagan carried Illinois both times. Peter Fitzgerald was badmouthed by the lily-livered when he ran as an outsider, but he managed to win, didn't he? My Congressman is Don Manzullo. Surely someone as conservative as he could not win the John B. Anderson/Lynn Martin pro-abort, anti-gun, pro-tax RINOCRAP seat in Congress, could he? That's what local party leaders thought but Don beat them in a primary and beat the incumbent one-term leftpest DemonRat and now Don goes virtually unopposed. Last time he carried DemonRatic Rockford handily.
Stop spreading the manure that is already proving to be blatantly false in your homestate of California where Bill Simon has already disposed of his RINO as O'Malley may do on Tuesday, and where Simon is leading in current polls over Greyout Davis. It would be hard for anyone outside of California, as I am, to be able to talk about your election without following last year's energy fiasco in California and the current budget mess.
If you want to give Illinois Republicans advice to vote squish, what do you know about:
1. The George Ryan commercial trucker's license for bribes scandal which apparently financed his rise from Secretary of State to Governor here and has caused numerous fatalities with utterly unqualified tractor trailer drivers mowing down vans full of children while RINO George Ryan says: I don't know nothing and his pal Attorney General Ryan says: It's none of my business when Illinois GOP officeholders set up bribery shops in motor vehicle facilities?
2. Attorney General Jim Ryan handing Jesse Jackson $300,000 in proceeds from a state lawsuit against a woman's shoe manufacturer on an absolutely discretionary basis to fund a women's "job training" program at the very time that Jesse Jackass was being investigated for forking over tremendous sums to his mistress oin hush money from tax-exempts which he controls. Jim Ryan also saw fit not to investigate the Rev. Shakedown's tax violations of ILLINOIS tax violations?
3. Jim Ryan's proposal to include gay rights in Illinois' civil rights code? Illinois is not San Francisco or La Jolla.
4. Jim Ryan's REFUSAL to prosecute a liberal Protestant hospital named (I kid you not) Christ Hospital where the institution has a policy of inducing premature labor at the 5 month stage so that "unwanted" babies can be born alive and then abandoned within the hospital to die without care?
Finally, Jim Ryan is not a RINO like riordan but he has the unmistakeable odor of deep corruption, spinelessness and good ol' boyism about him and he is VERY unlikely to live to complete his term since he has brain cancer and is on his third bout with cancer at an early age. I do not want to be governed by J. Random Lietenant Governor candidate. Who should we vote for in the Lieutenant Governor;s race since you know so much about who will win or lose in landslides in Illinois which you apparently think is more liberal than California. Puhleeze!
Don't criticize what you don't understand.
This is happening in America? What an outrage! My baby girl twins were born premature five years ago. They were so precious, so delicate and helpless. They are so precious. How could a civilized people do this?
Sorry if I sound melodramatic. But, I am moved to tears to read this.
