2A4Cook Posted April 22, 2022 at 02:05 AM Share Posted April 22, 2022 at 02:05 AM These Irvin arguments are giving me terrifying flashbacks of the Alan Keyes fiasco, when JBT threw up her hands and gave the Family PACkers what they were screaming for. How'd that turn out? While I realize the Irvin argument goes both ways, he is, quite simply, a Democrat. To back him simply because he is black and allegedly therefore has the best chance of beating the incumbent, corrupt slob isn't very logical to me. Why not just convince Chris Welch to run as a Republican? Illinois voters are by and large low-information voters who will only jump ship when their personal income taxes get doubled ... then they go back to doubling down on the stupid.

US Senator from Illinois, Barack Obama Obama was the recipient of a lot of "luck" in the Dem primary as well, if you recall. There were about 7 candidates in the field, and Blair Hull was steadily leading the pack by a huge margin with 36%, well ahead of the second-polling candidate, Dan Hynes, and Obummer was near the bottom with a paltry 5% support. Late in the cycle, allegations of spousal abuse magically leaked from Hull's sealed Cook County divorce case file, likely aimed at helping Hynes over the hump. It backfired, and in a poorly-timed public rebellion against nepotism in government, Hull's voters went overwhelmingly for Obummer, who came out of nowhere to win the primary. Obummer became U.S. Senator simply because of conveniently-leaked allegations of spousal abuse against his opponents in both the primary and general elections, and the entire country suffered because of it. Yeaaaaa, Illinois! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the Chicago Libune that sued to get Jack Ryan’s sealed divorce papers unsealed in order to smear him. They then endorsed Obama for president of o ce but twice.

I'm not thrilled about any of them, either. Fatboy has a ton of baggage (toilet seat caper he should've been charged for; involvement in trying to influence Blago for Obummer's Senate seat; profiteering off state contracts for Covid testing; banning high school sports, then sending his little princess off around the country with her horse for equestrian competitions; banning travel during Covid, then shuttling his family off to his Florida estate ... ahh, Florida, land of the free ... HYPOCRITE!!!), but more money than he has gas in his enormous gastric system.

Not Reagan's original thought. Apparently didn't work so well for Reagan. Reagan followed this "commandment" during the first five primaries during the 1976 Republican primary against incumbent Gerald Ford, all of which he lost. He abandoned this approach in the North Carolina Primary and beat Ford 52–46, regaining momentum and winning a majority of delegates chosen after that date. Former Texas governor John Connally speculated that Reagan's attacks weakened Ford in the general election against his opponent and eventual successor, Jimmy Carter.

A politician would never tell a lie (if you like your health care plan …) or change what he has repeatedly said ( I cannot give special treatment to Dreamers…) to curry favor?

cls74 Posted April 27, 2022 at 06:24 PM Share Posted April 27, 2022 at 06:24 PM Illinois will never have a true Republican candidate voted into office, only a lesser of 3 evils, until fair district maps can be drawn. Not going to happen without a court order so it's likely to never happen. Yet, we'll continue to listen to Democrat politicians and lobby groups nationwide complain about Republican gerrymandering, including those from IL. Hypocrites I tell ya. IMO, the Governors office means nothing, and hasn't for some time, with Democrats holding veto proof majorities in both chambers. Until that changes the best we get is a Rauner typed candidate. While Bailey may be 2A friendly, that doesn't do much good if the Democrats toe the line and pass new gun laws with vetoproof majorities. I'd liken him to a Phelps in comparison, steadfast 2A supporter, but would go the opposite ways for other issues. I'll likely sit the Primaries out and vote in the general for whoever made the ballot then complain about who the NE and SW corners of the state put into office. We don't have elections in Illinois, we have placements. Quinn was forced out and replaced with Rauner by Madigan, not the people. He therefore became the scapegoat for Pritzker to be placed into office. Nothing will ever change my mind on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJM had virtual dictatorial power over the state for a long time, the MSM knew it very well, yet chose to blame Rauner for the state not having a budget; what a joke that was. The current corrupt slob who took his place is a tool of the radical left, and Welch getting the Speaker position is no help in that regard. Illinois is California with crappy weather, or New Jersey without a coastline. In 10-20 years, if trends continue, the Bolshevik Dems will flood every state with illegals, give them the franchise, and turn the entire country into California. At that point, they may as well dispense with the fiction of states and rename the country the Bolshevik State of California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illinois_buckeye Posted April 27, 2022 at 07:53 PM Share Posted April 27, 2022 at 07:53 PM Or you could see the opposite. For example have you heard of this coalition of governors? https://ussanews.com/2022/04/21/states-launch-border-strike-force-to-challenge-biden-on-lack-of-enforcement/ There should be multiple things about it. So it sounds like governors in republican states are basically pooling resources to try to deal with the border. Essentially, you could effectively end up with North vs South again.
