Illinois GOP primary to be Tea Party battleground

The Illinois Republican Primary runs on February 2, which is just around the corner. The candidates fighting to represent the GOP are Mark Kirk and Patrick Hughes. Kirk voted for cap-and-trade, a bill that definitely hurts the state more than anything. That has proven him to be unpopular with the conservative voters. Hughes being the [...]

Released Gitmo prisoners end up as Taliban leaders

Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL) shares some disturbing news: Kirk said NATO Major Gen. Michael T. Flynn told him, “Tell the people back home this: that not only are the people being released from Guantanamo and rejoining Jihad against the United States and our allies in Afghanistan, but the Gitmo detainees are they hardest nut to [...]

Gitmo prisoners wish to stay put

Unbelievable. This is one of the things that frustrate me about the Obama administration… They decide on policy that defies common sense, just blindly pursue the agenda. “We hate George W. Bush! Gitmo reminds us of him and his torturous deeds. Let’s shut it down!” Guess what? The prisoners don’t want to relocate to the [...]

Ten states near bankruptcy

Twenty percent of the union face imminent bankruptcy: Those states in fiscal peril include California, Arizona, Rhode Island, Michigan, Oregon, Nevada, Florida, New Jersey, Illinois and Wisconsin. California, a state with a population and economy that rival some countries, is in deep water. It’s one of the few states to support illegal aliens in its [...]

Small defeat for Big Labor, big victory for families

Home based care workers in Illinois have overwhelmingly rejected Big Labor to remain non-unionized. The power grab from SEIU (Services Employees International Union) and AFSCME (American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees) failed miserably, thanks to conservative blogger Michelle Malkin’s highlighting of the issue. To Big Labor this was nothing but a minor defeat [...]

Islamofascists continue to plot our destruction

For the past few days the FBI rounded up several individuals in different cities to charge them with terrorism plots. Arrests were made in Colorado, New York, Texas, Virginia, and Illinois. But could there be more? Suspicious men were found to be taking pictures of the subway in Philadelphia. The War on Terror is far [...]

Blago-gate turns into Burris-gate

The drama never ends in Chicago, and it’s looking worse for Democrats. FBI wiretaps reveal how Sen. Roland Burris (D-IL), appointed by disgraced Gov. Rod Blagojevich to fill Obama’s seat, wanted to send money to Blagojevich in order to win favors before all hell broke loose. It’s embarrassing that the Democrats even seated Burris to [...]

Flipping Emanuel’s seat to red

The special election to fill the House seat IL-5 vacated by Rahm Emanuel is on April 7, 2009. It is Rosanna Pulido (R) vs. Mike Quigley (D). Unfortunately, the Illinois GOP isn’t giving her the attention and support she deserves, so it’s up to us to spread the word. Turning this seat to red would [...]

Bye bye, Blago

Unsurprisingly, the Illinois Senate voted to remove Rod Blagojevich from office, 59-0. It’s the first time in the state’s history that its governor has been impeached. Lt. Gov. Patrick Quinn is now promoted to Illinois Gov. Quinn. Hopefully the people of Illinois can put all this negativity behind them now… Share and Enjoy:

Blagojevich impeached by state house

The Illinois House voted 114-1 to impeach Gov. Blagojevich. Now we wait for the trial in the Illinois Senate to begin on January 26. No surprise there. Since the scandal broke, there has been strong criticism from state lawmakers to remove Blago from office. And what was the governor doing? Jogging, getting in shape for [...]

Illinois Democrats show some love to Blagojevich

This is almost unbelievable… Illinois state legislature with a Democrat majority decided not to strip the governor of his power to fill the vacant senate seat for now. The main reason? They fear that a Republican may actually win the seat in a special election. So it’s back to square one for the people of [...]

Emanuel had talks with Blagojevich’s aides

All right, so Obama was correct in saying that none of his aides discussed the vacant Illinois senate seat with Gov. Rod Blagojevich. The truth is that Rahm Emanuel had such discussions with Blagojevich’s aides. So technically Obama didn’t lie. Being a product of the Chicago political machine and considering his past (and current) questionable [...]

Obama transition team officially in damage control mode

First, President-elect Obama held a press conference declaring that he and his aids have not spoken to Illinois Gov. Blagojevich about the open senate seat. Now his campaign lawyer Bob Bauer is doing an “internal review” so see who contacted the governor and said what… But the biggest leak is that Rahm Emanuel may have [...]

Obamaniacs help with censoring on transition site

Obama’s transition team launched a feature called “Open for Questions” on its site, Change.gov, for users to submit questions and vote on the top ones, much like Digg. But users are also allowed to flag inappropriate questions to remove them from the list. It looks like Obamaniacs are abusing such a feature to remove questions [...]

Obama and Blagojevich

Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is still the governor and can still appoint a replacement senator to fill Obama’s seat, unless the state legislature works fast enough to impeach him. The buzz about this whole ordeal, however, is if any of this ties to Obama or his aids? Steve Benen at Washington Monthly opines that all [...]
