AND FIRE!

Thank God for Jack Roeser I couldn’t make this stuff up.

We have just a few questions:

If Bill Brady isn?t in cahoots with Judy Baar Topinka and staying in the race just to help her win by splitting the conservative vote ? then why has Brady so frequently attacked only Jim Oberweis? (It?s simply wrong to say it?s because Topinka gets no conservative votes. Polls prove that Topinka gets lots of conservatives ? the uninformed ones ? therefore all the more reason that an honest conservative would take Topinka to task first.)

I’m one of the few who don’t see a bright future for Bill Brady. Yeah, he’s an improvement over Gordon Ropp, but that’s damning at feint praise at best. Gordon was a nice enough fellow, but his biggest concern in the world was the state soil. That said, Brady isn’t in “cahoots” with anyone, but his own ambition–and he might just prove me wrong.

With something like 12 million people in Illinois, Jim Edgar and Bob Kjellander, along with all the other surviving dinosaurs lucky enough not to be wearing orange jumpsuits ? decided to get behind the one person with less integrity than Rod Blagojevich.

Never mind that Edgar handed Roeser his ass in a primary and remains one of the most popular statewide officials to have held office, he’s evil because he’s not as doctrinaire as Jack would like.

Before Jack continues his whinefest, he might notice that while Kjellander might be a schmuck, Jack is the one who seems to think he’s above the law and continues to not comply with fines levied by the State Board of Elections.

It’s really, really tough to break campaign finance laws in Illinois. The only way to do it is to not disclose your donations properly and Jack was talented enough to find a way to do that, but feels he can lecture the rest of the state on ethics.

Most bizarrely, the man has me defending Bill Brady, a guy who has his most notable achievement as starting a Bible Study debate between his supporters and Sam Ewing’s supporters in the 15th District’s Republican primary in 2000 resulting hysterically in the election of Tim Johnson. The Pantagraph has a long history of hysterical letters to the editor, but that series is one of the best I’ve seen.

What’s really beautiful though, is that if Oberweis somehow were able to pull off a win, he’s now angered just about every Republican who won’t vote for him making an already easy task of beating him, even easier.

It’s a beautiful piece of work to watch–from a distance. Sort of like a Supernova.

One thought on “Circle Em Up!”
  1. Arch, you are mostly correct. It is unfortunate that we have some bad apples still involved in the republican party. There was a group of us 4 years ago who got so disgusted with the ethics that we got involved. We were good republicans, voting in every election, what we didn’t do was volunteer or give money to our favorite candidate. I think there has to be an equalizer in state government and I put this challenge to anyone. For the people without corruption like Bill Brady, donate your time and money. For the very corrupt Judy Barr-Topinkavich, who was investigated by feds several times, don’t volunteer don’t give money. Did you know that the state party secretly endorsed Topinkavich before the primary was over? They invited the RNC in and gave her money to run. Why can’t Topinkavich raise the money on her own? People won’t give money to the corrupt. She ought to retire. As a conservative first, In the general election I will vote for a more conservative candidate before I will vote for Topinkavich or Blagojevich. And so called conservatives who vote for Topinkavich can not be true conservatives if they vote for a candidate who would allow abortion and gay marriage. JBT is a RINO and Jack Roeser is a CINO (Conservative in name only) because he backed Jesse White for Secretary of state and he backs losers like Oberweis and Keyes. Brady stands for conservative principals and has proven that he’s not a nutcase, not like Oberweis or Keyes. So is Brady’s only fault that he likes the bible, you will have to do better than that.
