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!

Tell some friends!

I might have a candidate that I can support

Greg is a shocker, but I like his viewpoints (at least more than the others). Cheers to Greg.

Operation: Bobby, not Barry

Local liberals and union mafioso types have a pretty good strategy going into the 2012 elections: Blame Bobby, not Barry.

If jobs aren't being created locally, it's not Obama's fault - it's Schilling's fault. Never mind the fact that the left controls all branches of local and state government - plus the Senate and the Presidency. The reason we're in a depression is because of one member out of 435 that makes up one-half of one third of our government.

Or so the left shouts with foam in their mouths.

These claims will easily be refuted by Schilling and shifted on to the big guy in the White House.

We need a reasonable candidate who can come up with some reasonable positions and statements. Not just blame a congressman for things that can be easily blamed on our state and local dems that control everyone.

Bipolar

Am I the only one going crazy on this dem primary?

One minute i like a candidate, the other I can't stand them.

Can we get a good candidate so I can stop feeling bipolar?

Terronez

Before I endorse any of these guys in the primary I want to know their involvement with this creep. Their party produced scumbags like him, Leibovitz and Hare.

They need reform in themselves.

Seriously reconsidering

my support for Reyes. He first seemed like a Hispanic Lane Evans. But the more I hear from him, the less I like.

A statement on his website attacks Schilling for something he never said. Then to make it worse, the issue he attacks him on is a proposal to show your ID in order to vote. what's wrong with that idea?

You need an ID to buy booze. Why should you not have it to cast a vote that carries consequences for all citizens across the country?

How is asking someone to prove who they are discriminatory? this isn't immigration, it's voting.

I might have to get behind Boland.
