By the way honest question DF, what makes you think that the Illinois GOP isn’t through nominating people like Joe Walsh? Really party label aside. What gives you honest hope that these guys that are running this year aren’t jerks like Walsh? And again I hate to sound patronizing but the Democrats aren’t the only crooks in your state. Your last governor before Blago was a Republican and he’s a convicted felon. You can’t always talk about the crooked Illinois Democratic Machine when your state GOP produced George Ryan. Not a defense of the Illinois Dems but it’s dishonest of you to act like the Illinois GOP is some exemplifier of ethical values and the Illinois Dems are lacking it.plus as discussed, your party hasn’t proven itself to be fiscal conservative.
