From the Isaac Hayes for Congress campaign (2nd District)…
CHICAGO: Republican nominee for Illinois 2ndCongressional District Isaac Hayes released the following statement in response to Jonathan Allen of Politico reporting Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D) is considering an endorsement of Rep. Mark Kirk (R) in the IL U.S. Senate Race:
“This latest shenanigan by Congressman Jackson is proof positive he will do anything to stay in office. While he has the right idea in endorsing Congressman Kirk for the U.S. Senate, his support is more about splitting the Republican and Independent votes in Illinois Second District.
He has done the math and realizes Independent voters have abandoned him in droves and he wants to redefine himself as some type of bipartisan independent thinker. However, his votes for the $800 billion spending spree that has done nothing to reduce the unemployment rate, the Cap and Tax bill that will raise energy prices on working families, and the deficit busting budgets that are enslaving our great grandchildren, reveal his radical big government views.
“He is a founding member of the Apollo Alliance, which has ties to domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and communist sympathizer Van Jones. He has failed the good people of IL-2 for sixteen years and he sees his departure coming. Americans want their government back and career politicians like my opponent realize it is time to look for a new line of work.”
