"I've known George for years. Illinois Right to Life wouldn't endorse this guy over Poshard if he wasn't a true believer. Do you really think RTF backs closet pro-aborts? Geeeesh. You people are soooo ignorant. George Ryan provided THE swing vote to KILL the ERA amendment in the 1980s. George Ryan has ALWAYS been PRO-LIFE. How DARE you accuse George Ryan of not being pro-life. He was WITH US in the legislature and he'll be WITH US as Governor. Think about how BAD things will be if the DEMOCRATS win Illinois in 1998. Vote for RYAN, he can WIN!!!"
Substitute the word "pro-life" instead of "pro-2nd amendment" and Fideist has simply parroted the SAME tired B.S. "talking points" of conservatives who shoved Lyin' Ryan down our throats in 1998. I'd bet my right arm that Mr. Silverback and fideist GLADLY voted for that SOB Lyin' Ryan in '98 and bought the "Ryan is our buddy"propanganda hook, line, and sinker. These guy's will let Lucy pull the football away from them every single time.
Note that phony reformer Governor Hairspray got ONLY 49% of the vote tonight, but "electable moderate" Judas got 40% instead of the remaining 51%. It wasn't that Blago has big support, it's that Judas is a corrupt lying b---- who has NO support.
The backstabbing RINO faced MASSIVE defections of the anti-Blago vote to third parties, and rightfully so.
I'm glad "electable moderate" Judas Barf TooPinko went down in flames tonight and "unelectable right wing extremist" Peter Roskam was one of the FEW Republicans to crush a hand picked "anti-war waro hero" candidate recruited by Rahm. Note that Peter Roskam is MUCH futher to the right on guns than Henry Hyde. Our Congressional delegation actually moved to the RIGHT tonight while Judas went down in flames.
So much for the "RINOs are more electable" crap. I'm sure the Judas apologists are weaping tonite, thinking about how much "better" things would be in George Ryan II had won the election. Tell you what, you guys call up Judas and get her a nice position of power in your area.
YOU guys enjoy her reign of higher taxes, more spending, government waste, corruption, fraud, gay marriage parades, and abortion on demand. I sure as hell won't be a part of it.
Get out your circular saw and chop that arm off. I did not gladly vote for, much less campaign for, George Ryan in '98, because I did not buy any propaganda that portrayed him as a conservative guy. Nice try.
Also, it looks to me like you read the title of this piece and reacted without even reading the first paragraph. If you had read the first para, you would know that accusing me of supporting Topinka as an "electable moderate" makes about as much sense as as accusing me of being a spy for the Klingon Empire.

No, you're right. You'll just be part of the exact same stuff under Blago, only it will be worse. Congratulations.
I don't know where all your bitchy PMS rancor against me comes from. I am a patriotic, committed, hardcore pro-lifer who tried to make the best out of a disaster, a disaster brought on us in part by people too "principled" to make sure she went under in the primaries. Yet you treat me like some sort of traitor. Sorry, but we were going to have a liberal governor for four years, so I figured I'd rather have the one with the NRA "A" rating instead of the one with the Planned Parenthood endorsement.
Now, let's see if you can live up to your own standards: Who did you vote for in the primary?
