They have crushed us because of how badly Hastert screwed up Congress and how badly the rest of the mob let things get here. We need new leaders that will take on Democrats everywhere and not let fake tan bimbos like Susan Garret and Karen May play us. <br /><br />FanOfKingLouisAstevesEllenSlayer (FOKLAES)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-83917509028197508902009-04-16T22:00:00.000-05:002009-04-16T22:00:00.000-05:00To Anon, he raised 700k last time too.

You could give the state party enough viagra to fill the Dirksen Senate Office that used to belong to the REPUBLICAN senator, peter fitzgerald, and the party would still not get it up in november and be politically impotent. <br /><br />10 years ago this was safe Republican territory, since then it's fallen into enemy hands. McKenna has earned a political firing squad. And just wait until Obama starts his fundraising machine again and turns on Mark if you care about fundraising.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-84901285007002138782009-04-16T19:45:00.000-05:002009-04-16T19:45:00.000-05:00Congressman Kirk raised $700k for a House race wit...Congressman Kirk raised $700k for a House race with practically no opponent.

It's not the Primary that will get him to his destination. This is still the Democrats time to shine in their eyes. This is Illinois, for heaven's sake, and it's the home to the guy who presently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. There's a reality that I think some in the party just don't want to deal with right now. Yes, Kirk would make a great Governor and an even finer US Senator. I just don't see this as his time. If you recall, Durbin served a longer time in the House before he became our Senator. Kirk is young, he has time. I hope he weighs his options carefully.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-18858747819344084262009-04-16T12:05:00.000-05:002009-04-16T12:05:00.000-05:00Their busses were parked around the corner.

He needs to weigh every option and he's doing that right now.<br />The freaks who were outside the restaurant yesterday came, courtesy of SEIU and other fringe groups. Wonder how they got out of their day jobs, or if they have jobs. Protesting seems to be their full time occupation.<br />As to who would lead the Democrat field if our Congressman decided to toss it away, I'd say that Garrett would be the odds-on favorite to lead that bunch of hopefuls. Seals wouldn't get a nod from any of his once devoted fan base. I'm sure others would want to try it as well, but her popularity with her many followers would give her the edge. Are we having fun yet?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
