Cheri and Emily: Best Friends Forever

Check out this story from Monmouth:

Greg Aguilar:

"Voters need to follow the money trail. Where is the money coming from? That is where the loyalty will be when they get to Washington. With EMILY's List she (Bustos) will have to fight for partial-birth abortion and for minors to have abortions without parental consent. That just scares me."


It's true. Bustos is completely tied to EMILY's list and will be FORCED to fight for partial birth abortion and for minors to have abortions without parental consent.


This type of extremism is worrisome. She definitely is a poor candidate to face a moderate like Schilling in the general election.

< 3 Best Friends < 3

Another reason I'm not voting for Cheri Bustos: Sheila Simon.

Illinois Democrats have ruined this state, yet they are the first people to line up behind Cheri Palin-Bustos' campaign.

Durbin: Bustos not best qualified, but she babysat my kids

Did you all see this? In an interview with the Prairie News Advocate, George Gaulrapp, mayor of Freeport, gave the details of his meeting with Durbin.

For those of you who didn't know, Durbin met with Gaulrapp to tell him to "get out of the race" and to let his alleged god-daughter, Cheri Bustos, take the nomination.

In the interview Gaulrapp says that when he told Durbin that she wasn't the most qualified candidate for the nomination Durbin gave him three responses:

1. He knows her well because she babysat his children.
2. His wife, Loretta Durbin's dream was to see more women get involved in politics.
3. The party would train her to be the best candidate.

What a joke. Is this the type of "transparency" and "honest" government that Cheri Bustos is going to provide?

Thank you sir, may I have another?!

Cheri Palin

Is it me? Or does Cheri Bustos remind a lot of people of a democratic version of Sarah Palin? Sarah couldn't handle being governor, so she resigned early. Cheri couldn't handle 2 meetings a month on the city council, so she resigned.

I guess maybe Palin is actually more qualified than Bustos.

Good bye Cheri Bustos, hello Cheri Palin!

Lies my former alderman told me

When is Cheri Bustos going to be called out on her blatant lies?

She claims to have "wide, grassroots financial support" but received $71,000 from the ABORTION industry?

That's right. EMILY's List -- the most far, left abortion group in the Nation is pouring tens of thousands into Cheri Bustos' campaign account.

Why is the ABORTION industry pouring money into a Western Illinois congressional race?

Furthermore, why is Cheri accepting money from a group that only endorses pro-abortion women who favor absolutely no restrictions on abortion? Does Cheri stand against ANY restrictions on Abortion? Including parental notification, partial birth abortion bans, taxpayer funding bans?

Why is Cheri running on ABORTION rights anyways? Is that really the most important issue in this election?

The bullish*t begins

I'll be honest.

I had high hopes for this next election. As I've stated before, I was raised in a blue collar home that tended democrat but we also didn't like gay marriage or abortion.

Since these candidates have come out, it's been nothing but disappointment. Why?

Dave Koehler didn't have the balls to stand up for his own personal convictions against a powerful U.S. Senator.

Cheri Bustos has turned into a horribly negative, unfair and destructive special interest candidate.

Aguilar and Gaulrapp can't raise a damn dime.

This is fine by me. I was going to support Schilling in the end anyways because of his reasonable support for PLA's. But how disappointing.

It's looking like Bustos will be the nominee. Are Democrats in Illinois that stupid that we are going to nominate a corporate queen who made millions off of the health care industry?

Even Jacobs (as much of a joke he is) would have been an interesting race.

Of course, my personal favorite was Mark Schwiebert. If he had the balls to run, he would've given Schilling a run for his money. Schwiebert is good when it comes to gaining crossover support from independents and even some right wingers. Maybe next time Marky!
