To criticize Fitzgerald's vote on "assault weapons" is one thing. To say he "looted the state" is another. Tom, are you going to let this baseless and slanderous attack go? Please lets keep the blog responses respectable.Jason Anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-40565762494808607682006-04-19T03:50:10.000-05:002006-04-19T03:50:10.000-05:00This is the death knell for J.

I'll bet the middle of the road machine republicans wish they had a do over on that one now. Let's have another unity breakfast. Is anyone going to show up? If I were a republican running for anything the first running I would do is far far away from her. Let's have Jim O run 3rd party now. Blago might be dirty but not as dirty as Topinka. She was and is a mistake. Back in 98 I was a republican for Poshard. No one is more conservative than I am. But, Ryan stunk. You never forget that smell. Topinka wears the same fragrance.<br><br>I won't vote for Blago. I won't vote for Topinka. So Blago wins.<br><br>This won't even be close.<br><br>If she really gave a darn about her party at all (which she doesn't) she would back down right now and let the party put someone clean in. Then Blago is toast.<br><br>Don't hold your breath.<br><br>I'll never forgive the slap in the face the Alan Keyes manuver was. She engineered that. Forgive but never forget. Bye Bye Judy.

The corruption you describe in your blog evidently never made a dent in his sense of ethics. Well, as believers, we know that someday his conscience will be reawakened - on the day of judgment.David P.

You rightly outted...the Combine Conspiracy Theory. You rightly outted Peter Fitzgerald from the social conservatives because he was for gun control. He was also the kiss of death to Steve Rauschenberger. Now you want us to thank him? No thanks.<br><br>Peter Fitzgerald, like Big Jim Thompson, looted the state and then moved out (Fitzgerald to Virginia, Thompson to Michigan) after the damage was done.<br><br>I bet Fitzgerald won't move come back to Illinois until the statute of limitations runs, hiding behind his kid (like Jack! did), saying his kid must go to school in Virginia.<br><br>This Ryan conviction tars all who did not seek to recall him while he was in office. I'm talking everyone- young and old. There must be a house cleaning. It doesn't matter that there is no provision for recall--Tom, people like you who own the airwaves should have called for a constitutional amendment to re-allow it. Anything less makes one complicit with his crimes.<br><br>This helps Andy Martin the most. Martin was in jail in Florida while Ryan was Governor, so we know he wasn't involved in the corruption like everyone else who failed to call for Ryan's impeachment or a constitutional convention.<br><br>Martin now has the most credibility--how about getting him on your show, Tom?Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-48395349848118362512006-04-18T08:44:45.000-05:002006-04-18T08:44:45.000-05:00Great commentary Tom though I have to agree with B...Great commentary Tom though I have to agree with Bill Watson's repsponse regarding the neocon position on illegal alliens and amnesty.<br><br>All laws should be followed be it the ones that made Ryan a convicted felon or the ones which brought tens of millions of illegal aliens into America, lowered the wage rates of low and middle class Americans and will lead to Mexico repatriate the Southwest United States.Jason Anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-25831602858622578992006-04-18T05:26:29.000-05:002006-04-18T05:26:29.000-05:00Hey Tom.... that driver of the truck who killed th...Hey Tom.... that driver of the truck who killed the kids in the van was UNDOCUMENTED... ILLEGAL. There was a BIG push at the time to get these people CDL licenses even though they were ILLEGAL. WHY because they would be CHEAP labor for the trucking outfit.<br><br>Why is this important: Ignoring illegality (lack of citizenship)is a broad door opener to CORRUPTION! Illegality is illegality no matter if some Republican gets cheap help through this person OR some Democrat gets political power through this person. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICAL CORRECTNESS... like aw those poor undomented people, they came here for work like all other immigrants. (the other immigrants were LEGAL)..It has everything to do with corruption!<br><br>The undocumented alien issue is a CORRUPTION issue, a TAX EVASION issue! Being a little "corrupt" is like being "a little pregnant"... it leads to things like the death of kids in a crash and the conviction of a crook like RYAN!<br><br>And with Ryan the Republicans fell with him. THIS TOM IS THE MORAL OF THE STORY. Get it TOM or do you want to go back to doing your "good Catholic deed" by teaching these people English...?Bill Watsonnoreply@blogger.com
