You know it is bad when people from your own party are talking about impeaching you.  But that is exactly what is going on in Illinois.  House Speaker Michael Madigan is sending a memo about why they need to impeach Gov. Rod “The Bod” Blogojevich.   It is so much fun watching the crooks that run [...]

AH yes, of course it would make it harder for the Democrats to vote in more than one precinct, or tohave the dead and dogs voting.  Anyone in their right mind should not be against someone showng  an ID to vote, you needone for cashinga check, getting on a plane, and to buy cigarettes or alcohol, [...]

Today at The American Thinker, Rick Moran, has a great post about the corruption in Illinois Politics.  It is a cess pool of kickbacks, sweet deals and other political shenanigans.   And it is not only in 1 party. Both the Democrats and Republicans have their hands in the Cookie Jar.

The Illinois legislature is trying to pass a law that the citizens of our state can recall state officials.  Butour good friend Jay Hoffman is carrying the water for Blogojevich because they know if this passes, Blogojevich would be  ousted.  Blogojevich’s total direguard forallofIllinois hs made his approval ratings to plummet and [...]

Yes it is time for us in the great Democratic Republic of Illinois to fork over more of our money to the great Government. They always try to change what the bills are, and sneak them past us. This time they are trying to make it look like it is not a tax [...]

Steve Sauerberg has urged Senator Dick “Turbin” Durbin to sign the earmark moratorium bill.  The Spending and pork that has taken over the government has got to stop.  Earmarks are a waste of tax-payer’s money and should be abolished.  The pork is injected into bills without any kind of vote.  And as most of you [...]

All of a sudden, seems as if everybody’s talking about Barack Obama and Tony Rezko. Even Jay Leno.
Rezko already was a big story in Chicago, accused of influence-peddling in the Blagojevich administration and set to face trial Feb. 25.
But Monday, [...]

Now with the indctment of Antoin "Toni" Rezko, Brak Obama has given contributions from Rezko associates to charity.  This all god and well, but still doesn’t deflect the fact that Rezko was a fundraiser for Obama and Obama is just part of the Machine that is in Chicago.  Chicago is a denizen of corrupt polititions.  [...]

Illinois politics has been so corrupt, that no matter which party you are in at the highest level in Illinois, you have topay to play with the big boys.  Baglojevich is not any betterthan the recently convivted Ryan.  He has some of the same people that were involved in the corruption in Springfield on his [...]

***Update

Thanks to News Busters 
Or will the MSM media not even comment on this.  You haven’t heard about any of thin on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC or even FOX.  But Obama had dealings with a known political fixer in Illinois when he was buying his house in Chicago.

The troubles for the Blagojevich administratio keep on mounting.  Not only is he bilking Illinois tax payers out of money for his trips back and forth from Chicago (the new captial) to Springfield, now we are paying his legal bills to stop FOIA from seeing what he has been charged with.  Smae old Same old [...]

Well, my stat representative won an award for telling people how to live their lives.

More bad news for our leader Blogojevich.  HIs wife is now getting investigated into her real estate deals in an ongoing investigation of  fraud and favoritism in Blogojevich’s administration.  This is just par for the course in Illinois Politics.   I scratch your back, and you scratch mine is what this State is all about.

Welcome to the Democratic Republic of Chicago.  Blogojevich has moved
the state carpital to Chicago and has been missing in action for most
of the year on important issues.  IT is laughable to think that he
wants to run again the next election for Governor of Illinois.  If
people think that the US Congress is a “Do-nothing Congress’,
Blogojevich has [...]

Governor Blagojevich has moved the capital to Chicago and is fleecing the rest of the state out of funds for bricks-and-mortar construction, highways and energy projects throughout the rest of the state.  But since Chicago is the Democratic Republic of Illinois, they will just steal the money that was for the rest of the state.  [...]

This is a pretty good endorsement to have in Illinois.  Governor Edgar is about the only state wide Repubilcan with any kind of popularity.  I still with that he would have endorsed Fred Thompson, but Guiliani is my second choice in the primaries.  But this will help Guiliani, especially in Illinois.

The Democrats had some nerve calling the Republicans the Party of Corruption.  To see real corruption, you don;t have to look too far in Illinois.  it is all over the place.  Where I live it is just a joke, and the corruption so bad, even Chicago makes fun of us.   But this starts at the [...]

Yes it is that time of the year for the Democrats in Illinois and all over the country to scare you with their tax hikes.   They will be used for all their little pet projects like raising my taxes here in St Clair country to pay for the transit system in Chicago.
Here is a little [...]
