How can you believe that Tom Roeser begged Oberweis to do anything when he through his post is trying to push Lauzen out? It is Roeser who started the nastiness against Lauzen at the very beginning with his "brick wall" comment.<br><br>It is only when Oberweis snubbed Roeser that Roeser turned on Oberweis as evidenced by his posts here. But this "begging" stuff is new and I simply don't believe it given Roeser's attitude toward Lauzen. And talk about touchy, Roeser complains about Lauzen being thin skinned but in this blog there is plenty of places where Roeser appears to be the thin skinned one when people do not agree with him. In fact his attitude against Lauzen on the Sunday night show was downright testy.Sally Andersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-70998649585726064352008-03-11T05:05:23.000-05:002008-03-11T05:05:23.000-05:00I don't get it Tom. You say Oberweis is a bad...I don't get it Tom. You say Oberweis is a bad candidate with a lot of problems, who few like.<br><br>But then Lauzen is supposed to wear some kind of collar for the loss? Huh?<br><br>So basically you're saying Lauzen should have been dishonest and tried to have conned voters into voting for a guy that he can't stand, voters can't stand, and that appearently you can't stand anymore?<br><br>That seems crazy to me.<br><br>It's obvious that the brand of "politics" you've been practicing for half a century or whatever doesn't work Tom. The GOP is now non-existent in Illinois at this point.<br><br>Maybe it's time for new people who want to do more than just go through the motions of making the same meaningless, double-talking gestures over and over again.<br><br>"Jim Oberweis is a rich guy with ego problems who has a tin ear, has flip-flopped on issues, can't win, and who almost no one likes. But you're a bad guy for not endorsing him Chris Lauzen!"<br><br>Tom, do you actually ever think about this double talk before you hit the send key?Confusednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-47813899533176009622008-03-11T00:10:08.000-05:002008-03-11T00:10:08.000-05:00What is inconsistent about the above statements?Is...What is inconsistent about the above statements?<br><br>Is Chris Lauzen above criticism? Just because Tom criticizes Lauzen does not mean that he did not try to talk Oberweis out of running.<br><br>I think Lauzen has been childish and hypocritical. Lauzen know up front the primary would be nasty, told people that he would indeed go negative himself. Lauzen just didn't expect the dump truck load back in return. Poor Chris. And then Chris showed his famous temper and flew off the handle.<br><br>Google is a wonderful thing, but you're straining to find 'nastiness' on Tom's part.Regular Readernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-1793054172873363702008-03-10T20:08:00.000-05:002008-03-10T20:08:00.000-05:00Today you made this comment,"I endorsed him t...Today you made this comment,<br><br>"I endorsed him the last time for governor but begged him not to run for Congress this time so as to allow Chris Lauzen a chance. No soap."<br><br>On August 28th you posted this,<br><br>"Oberweis Time?<br><br>It appears obvious that Denny Hastert has all but endorsed Jim Oberweis as his successor for the 14th. If that is true, a candidate who has embodied all that conservatives have really been seeking is on the cusp of winning. But what about State Sen. Chris Lauzen who I would distinctly prefer? I asked Chris where the differences are between him and Jim Oberweis and he pointed out that they appear to be indistinct the fact that Oberweis has not been able to get elected over a period of time. But given that Hastert has seemingly endorsed him and that Oberweis is flush with money, the next loser may well be Chris. Perhaps he might want to discard his intention to run for Congress and wait for a better opportunity.<br><br>The danger is that with Lauzen and Oberweis dividing the conservative vote, a liberal Republican like the mayor of Geneva may get in. Of course, despite no discernible differences, Chris Lauzen will lower his head and plunge right into the brick wall along with his followers repenting at leisure as they have so often in the past when they rejected a change of course when circumstances required it. For the record, I am still for Lauzen but is there no accommodation for circumstances? Well see.<br><br><br>Posted By: Tom Roeser<br>at 8/28/2007 7:09:00 AM"<br><br>It appears Tom that you were trying to push Lauzen out of the race and not the other way around! And what about this "begging", Tom? Oh really? It appears that you are impressed by deep pockets.<br>Isn't it nice to have Google to keep you honest! And whats this nastiness against Lauzen all about? You pat him with one hand and slap him with another.<br><br>Further reading of your blog shows that it was Oberweis who sorta stood you up for a Shootout appearance. Lauzen did go on your show. I think you owe Lauzen an apology, sir.Sally Andersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-91842042756566815482008-03-10T10:42:42.000-05:002008-03-10T10:42:42.000-05:00PARIS (March 10) - Airbus parent EADS hopes to mak...PARIS (March 10) - Airbus parent EADS hopes to make an acquisition in the U.S. this year following the huge U.S. Air Force contract Airbus recently snatched from rival Boeing Co.<br><br>European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co. NV Chief Executive Louis Gallois proposed two takeover projects to the board "in the fields of defense, security or services" of which one "at least should be in the United States," according to a letter sent to staff and read to The Associated Press by an EADS employee who asked not to be named because the document was intended only for EADS staffers.<br><br>Gallois said in January that Airbus is planning acquisitions in the United States to take advantage of the dollar's weakness and reduce its exposure to shifting exchange rates.
