Lake County News-Sun: Throw the (Democratic) Bums Out!

Like most of us, the editors of the Lake County News-Sun have decided that the dysfunctionality in Springfield can only be fixed by ending the one-party dictatorship of the ruling Democrats (Blagojevich, Madigan and Jones) by sending more Republicans to the General Assembly and returning a balance to the state government. The GOP legislative candidates thus run the table with the News-Sun endorsements.

The News-Sun says: “Sending a team of qualified Republicans to the Legislature might be the first step in sweeping the political cobwebs out of Springfield.” And how. What a huge embarrassment for Dem Chairman Terry Link. Is the kingdom unraveling around him?

Because it is owned by the sun-times which is owned by the obama campaign, the Pioneer Press endorsed all democrats this year, including Karen May, the biggest tool of state democrats. It is good to see there is a shred of journalistic integrity and clear thinking left in the region.

Anon- I haven't seen any endorsements yet from Pioneer Press and can;t find any on their website. Also, it's the News-Sun also a Sun-Times publication?

The Pioneer Press endorsed my opponent, Karen May as well as every other incumbent including Terry Link and Kathy Ryg. The Lake County News-Sun is part of the Sun Times News Group, the same as Pioneer Press. I am very pleased to get the endorsement of the News-Sun. What a message of change. Keith Gray, Dan Sugrue and myself stand not only for change...but change with accountability.

The sun-times op-ed page for almost 2 years has looked like it was written by the Obama communications team,and with him looking like he's going to prevail it's only going to get worse as they go gaga about whatever goodies he throws to his buddies. The pioneer press in my area endorsed both Terry Link and Karen May, a no show legislator.

Doing errands around winnetka/glencoeish today it's pretty clear that it's going to be an obama/kirk vote and jeff shoenberg in addition to being a loser legislator has to have the worst signs I have ever seen. You can't see his name on those things and I wish we didn't have to see him.
