RNC Launches No More Frankens Website

October 29, 2010 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

There is little doubt that Al Franken’s namesake is a perfect analogy because he is certainly a Frankenstein of a Senator. When he barely won the Senate seat for the Democrats in Minnesota over incumbent Norm Coleman several years ago it was painfully obvious that major improprieties and problems marred that election. His win was cobbled together from various “dead” sources, if you will. As the RNC says, Franken’s election “serves as a glaring and painful reminder to voters that we can never take any election for granted.”

Today it certainly seems that we are on the precipice of a great Republican surge. Every poll, even those that favor Democrats, say that the GOP is poised to make great gains on the local, state and national level. But we cannot rest on our election day vote alone. As we’ve so often seen, GOP wins repeatedly turned to slight loses with post election day chicanery.

The Republican National Committee wants to keep all Republicans aware of this looming situation, too.

October Surprise: Seal Endorses Robert Dold

October 29, 2010 by

From the Dold for Congress campaign (10th District)…

Winnetka, IL – Tenth District Congressional candidate Robert Dold launched a new upbeat ad today titled “Seals for Dold”. The 30-second spot features a talking seal that takes a humorous look at opponent Dan Seals. The ad highlights the fact that Seals still doesn’t live in the 10th District despite three bids for Congress, and that he supports destructive fiscal policies that will hurt the economy and hamper job growth.

The ad was created by Chicago-based agency, First Tuesday, which is also the maker of the catchy “Dold With A ‘D’” ad, a light-hearted play on Dold’s last name.

Desperate Illinois Democrats Dirty Trick: Funding Mailers for Third Party Candidate to Spite Kirk

October 28, 2010 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

You know that the Democrats are desperate when they pay thousands of their own campaign dollars in order to print and mail fliers touting the candidacy of another party’s Senate candidate! That’s what happened in downstate Illinois where the Democrat Party spent thousands of its own campaign money to print and mail fliers for Libertarian Senate candidate Mike Labno in order to stir conservatives against GOP Senate candidate Mark Kirk.

Rich Miller has scans of the flier HERE.

Now, it’s not a cut-and-dried case of misrepresentation exactly. After all, on the back of the flier they have clearly noted in a small notation that the ad was paid for by the Lake County Democrat Party. But nowhere else on the ad does it allude to the Democrats and the flier seems as if it is a legit Libertarian Party mailing. So call it mildly deceptive at best.

But it is clear that this is a Democrat dirty trick regardless. That the Democrat Party would fund a flier for a completely different party is telling. The Democrats know that Alexi is a horrible candidate and is behind in the polls. This is a desperate move to shave off some of Kirk’s votes.

New GOP Video Ad: ‘Your Turn’

October 28, 2010 by

The RNC has a new video ad…

WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced a new web video reminding voters what is at stake on November 2nd. The video, titled “Your Turn,” can be viewed on YouTube.

“As next Tuesday’s elections fast approach, there is little doubt that our country is at crossroads. President Obama and Congressional Democrats have spent the past two years imposing their will on the American people, despite their overwhelming objections. After racking up mountains of crippling debt, ramming through job killing government takeovers, and doubling down on the same failed economic policies, the Democrat agenda has left America on the brink of becoming a second class nation. With our future uncertain, the American people can no longer be ignored. It is critical that we all do our part to turn out the vote on November 2nd in order to restore fiscally responsible, Republican leadership to the halls of government.” – RNC Chairman Michael Steele

Hultgren Comes Out on Top at Kendall County Farm Bureau Forum

October 28, 2010 by

From the Hultgren for Congress campaign (14th District)…

ST. CHARLES – The Randy Hultgren for Congress campaign issued the following statement tonight after Hultgren again proved himself the best candidate to represent the 14th District at tonight’s Kendall County Farm Bureau candidates’ forum.

“At tonight’s forum, as in every joint appearance with Congressman Foster, Randy clearly articulated his philosophy of smaller, smarter government and contrasted it with Congressman Foster’s dedicated and unwavering support for Nancy Pelosi’s agenda of taxes, spending, and job-killing red tape,” said John Cooney, Hultgren for Congress campaign manager. “14th District residents understand that Randy shares their common sense Midwestern values and will fight for them and for fiscal sanity in Washington, DC.”

Chicago Tribune Calls Out Dan Seals for Misleading Voters‏

October 28, 2010 by

From the Dold for Congress campaign (10th District)…

As you probably read today, the Chicago Tribune called on Dan Seals and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to stop the false attack ads against his Pro-Choice stance. The ads, both running on TV and found on flyers mailed to voters across the District, seek to scare and intimidate women claiming Bob wants to criminalize a woman’s right to choose. Bob has always been Pro-Choice and respects a woman’s right to choose.

The editorial stated, “We are not impressed that Seals would give voters false ideas about his opponent’s views on abortion. Not impressed at all. He and the DCCC should drop these very misleading ads.”

From every part of the state, the message is clear. This weekend, at least five more newspapers endorsed Bill from every section of Illinois.

The Decatur Herald-Review says Bill “wants to create jobs in the state and understands that in order to do that, the state will need to become more business-friendly.” The Southern says Bill will “veto reckless spending by the General Assembly, stop the creation of needless programs and get Illinois back on the path to fiscal sanity.”

Morrison Calls for Pension Reform Among Illinois Lawmakers

Palatine, IL – State Representative candidate Tom Morrison campaigned today on pension reform, starting with the state lawmakers themselves. A new mail piece and internet video outlines Morrison’s call for “leadership by example,” starting with the Illinois General Assembly.

“The General Assembly created this problem, and should lead by example. That’s why I oppose lavish pension perks for state legislators.” Morrison continued, “Part-time jobs with pensions that begin at eight years and top out at twenty are extravagant. Springfield politicians need to live like the rest of us.”

Of all the State Governors in the country, none has been more infamous, within the past couple years, as the now-impeached (and indicted!) Governor of Illinois. The “Chicago Way” has clearly crippled our state, through the years – and is doing the same, at the national level, as well!

Hultgren Campaign Urges TV Stations to Stop Running Dishonest Foster Ad

October 26, 2010 by

From the Hultgren for Congress campaign (14th District)…

ST. CHARLES – The Randy Hultgren for Congress campaign today sent a letter to Chicago-area TV stations, informing them that they are not required to air dishonest television advertisements paid for by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

“Today’s letter to the four stations informs them that the DCCC’s advertisement intentionally and knowingly deceives viewers about Randy’s status as the only anti-tax candidate in this race, and reminds them that they are under no obligation to run the ad,” said campaign manager John Cooney. “The stations also have an obligation to their viewers, per the Federal Communications Commission, to protect the public from false, misleading deceptive advertising, and the ad in question is all three. Rather than touting Congressman Foster’s record of supporting Nancy Pelosi 93% of the time in Washington, the DCCC has instead chosen to knowingly distort Randy’s record and position on the issues that matter to constituents.”

Democrat Teacher Can’t Believe Kids Would Vote For Republican

October 25, 2010 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Last week I spied a short piece at Illinois Review about a post on My Suburban Life that detailed the story of a left-wing teacher that was shocked that a majority of her students in DuPage County, Illinois voted for Republican Representative Peter Roskam in the school’s mock election.

Social studies teacher Lori Keough of Glenbard High School found herself flummoxed that her students voted for every Democrat on the fake ballot but Representative Roskam, a Republican. Glenbard High is situated in Roskam’s 6th legislative district.

Students picked Republican Peter Roskam for the 6th district, with 52 percent of the vote, compared to Democrat Benjamin Lowe, who brought in 44 percent. For the other elections, students mainly voted for Democrats.

Social studies teacher Lori Keough was surprised by yesterday’s results.

“Just because DuPage County is so Republican, I was shocked that Democrats won every single race except for Roskam,” she said. “It shows in general that students are learning on their own and making decisions on their own and not going with what their parents think.”

You just have to laugh at this blinkered assumption that left-wing teacher Keough had here. So the kids didn’t make decisions just “going with what their parents think” but agreed with her that all Democrats should be elected… and as far as she is concerned her indoctrination of students is evidence of students “learning on their own” but if kids went with their parent’s ideas, why they are not “learning on their own.”

Pat Quinn: A New Low‏

October 22, 2010 by

From the Brady for Illinois Governor…

Desperate career politicians do desperate things. Pat Quinn is the most desperate, insider politician in Illinois.

As you may have heard, Pat Quinn’s bitter campaign against Bill has reached an historic low.

After his campaign was flagged for misleading voters in an online video distorting long-shelved legislation involving stray pets, published reports called Quinn’s video “America’s nastiest political ad,” saying it reached “a new low.”

In the middle of the worst fiscal crisis in Illinois’ history, Bill Brady believes its time for a clean break from misleading, personal attacks from career politicians like Pat Quinn and his big government allies.

October 21, 2010 by

The decent, hard-working taxpayers of Illinois – – of our entire country – – have been “ridden hard and hung up wet”, as they say in the Deep South.

I was shocked to read about a focus group of “Wal-Mart Moms”, a new political demographic of disappointed female voters, a significant portion whom feel sorry for President Obama. I don’t fully understand this emotion considering the aggressive passage of healthcare, cap-and-trade, so-called stimulus/takeovers and multiple expensive vacation trips for him and Michelle, but I am listening closely.

With only two weeks before Illinois votes to make a clean break from big government, political insider Pat Quinn and his special interest, tax and spending allies have launched a desperate, last ditch effort to protect the status quo.

They’re lining up behind disgraced, convicted Governor Rod Blagojevich’s former running mate and Lieutenant Governor Pat Quinn to stop Bill Brady’s campaign to clean up state government, and to create real jobs for struggling families.

On the eve of this important election, we need the help of our strongest supporters, just like you, to remind your friends and neighbors what got Illinois into this economic mess.

Representative Shakowski Again Refusing to Answer Simple Questions

Rep. Jan Schakowski has refused over and over to answer the simple question about just where in the Constitution Obamacare’s insurance mandates appear. What part of our nation’s governing document justifies Congress forcing Americans to buy something? Shakowski consistently refuses to answer this seminal question.

John Ruberry of Marathon Pundit once again asked these questions of Rep. Shakowski and, once again, she refused to answer.

Notice how these were not screamed questions, not raucous, right-wing attack dogs here? These videographers comported themselves professionally, did not name call, and asked their questions in a respectful tone. Yet Rep. Shakowski still refused to answer.

It’s time to get rid of this odious, leftist, monstrosity. Vote Joel Pollak in the 9th District!

Voters in the 14th District realize that Congress is broken and that Randy Hultgren will fight to restore a commonsense approach in Washington.”

From the Hultgren for Congress campaign (14th District)…

ST. CHARLES – Randy Hultgren, Republican candidate for Congress, met with more than fifty 14th District small business owners and employees today, members of the Hultgren campaign’s Small Business Advisory Committee. The National Federation of Independent Business and U.S. Chamber of Commerce have endorsed Hultgren.

“This morning’s meeting was a great opportunity for me to hear the concerns and needs of small business owners and employers from across our district,” said Randy Hultgren. “Small business owners and employers remain deeply concerned about the alarmingly anti-business climate in Washington – the out-of-control spending, the looming tax hikes, and the uncertain regulatory climate that discourages investment and growth.

“They also know, as I do, that getting our economy moving and putting Americans back to work doesn’t require massive Washington spending programs but will instead require commonsense government. To restore economic prosperity, we need to keep taxes low and regulations reasonable, and work to reduce spending and the national debt.”

“Randy Hultgren’s latest ad takes aim at Bill Foster’s desperate attempts to distract voters from his out-of-touch Washington record of spending, bailouts, government takeovers, the Foster-Pelosi government takeover of health care and their impact on our economy through persistently high unemployment,” said Gill Stevens, Hultgren campaign spokesman. “Foster owes it to his constituents to stop the lies and smear tactics and run the final weeks of his campaign on his so-called accomplishments.”

And, just today, the Daily Herald also endorsed Bill Brady, saying Illinois needs bold new leaders, not political insiders. Brady “is committed to a philosophy that the state cannot spend what it does not have” and “believes strongly in transparency in government.”

Jesse Jackson, Jr. has a 72% UNFAVORABLE rating!

October 13, 2010 by

According to GovTrack.us, a non-partisan legislative tracking service, Illinois Representative Jan Schakowsky is the most left-wing member of either of the two houses of Congress, based on the bills she co-sponsors. Similarly, the non-partisan National Journal, which measures members of Congress by their voting record, name Schakowsky as the most liberal Democrat in the House of Representatives.

Imagine what this is saying? Jan Shakowsky is even further left than avowed socialist Bernie Sanders who is listed as an “independent” in the Senate. Shakowsky is even further left than the nation’s token socialist!

Ill. Gov: GOPs Bill Brady 9 Points Up Over Incumbent Dem Quinn

October 12, 2010 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

The Sun-Times is reporting on a new poll showing Republican Bill Brady up nine percentage points over incumbent Democrat Pat Quinn for the race for Illinois Governor. The same poll finds the Senate race deadlocked.

The survey polled 1,000 registered voters:

Brady, of Bloomington, was favored by 38.4 percent of those polled, to 29.8 percent for Quinn.

In the race for the Senate, Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk was ahead in the poll by a negligible margin — 37.3 percent to 36.8 percent for Democrat Alexi Giannoulias.

Naturally, the poll also found that third party candidates have figured little in the race.

October 12, 2010 by

ST. CHARLES – The Randy Hultgren for Congress campaign issued the following statement today regarding the so-called ‘stimulus,’ a failed piece of legislation supported wholeheartedly by Bill Foster.

“Friday’s dismal jobs report, revealing that 95,000 more Americans lost their jobs and that unemployment remained stagnantly high at almost 10 percent, is a further reminder of the failure of Bill’s boondoggle, Congressman Foster’s so-called ‘stimulus,’” said Gill Stevens, spokesman for the Hultgren campaign. “We were promised that if the ‘stimulus’ was passed, unemployment would never go above 8 percent – but for seventeen consecutive months, unemployment has exceeded 9 percent.
