Some Healthcare Tweets on My Feed
By Warner Todd Huston | 03/21/10 | 7:13 PM EDT | 0 Comments
Of course, nothing could be better than the Tweet I saw from Sky_Bluez: "Stupid is as Stupak does." That about sums up the whole day so far.
But here are a few others from various folks on my Twitter feed that are worth noting…

GOP Chairman Elected to Full Term
By Warner Todd Huston | 03/21/10 | 3:43 PM EDT | 0 Comments
GOP Party Chairman Pat Brady was elected to a full term as chairman at the State Central Committee meeting this weekend.
Brady was appointed to the position by the state GOP after former Chairman Andy McKenna stepped down in an unsuccessful attempt to run for Governor last year. Brady served the final months of McKenna's term and now begins his own full four-year term.
Congratulations to Chairman Brady and let's hope that he can do more for the party long-term than the failed former chairman, McKenna. Brady would be smart to heed the conservative groundswell in this nation and stop the habit of past Illinois GOP powermongers of isolating, ignoring, and working against Illinois conservatives.

Election Poll: Walsh, Kinzinger, Hultgren in the Lead
By Warner Todd Huston | 03/21/10 | 3:33 PM EDT | 0 Comments
We Ask America recently posted the results of a head-to-head pollIn the other two races, Dold (10th) and Schilling (17th) are down with Dold down by less than three percent.
All the candidates, though, have a bit of convincing to do as the undecideds were in the 20 percent range in four of the five races.
Interestingly, Bob Dold (10th) is practically an unknown compared to Democrat Dan Seals who has been before the voters several times in the past. Dold stands at 37.36% to Seals' 40.09% in the poll. This race did not have an undecided report.
Adam Kinzinger (11th) is really swamping incumbent Democrat Debbie Halvorson according to the poll. Kinzinger stands at 42.04% to Halvorson's dismal 30.22%.
Randy Hultgren (14th) holds a slight lead over incumbent Democrat Bill Foster with 37.82% to Foster's 36.47%.
Still, with up to 26% undecided none of the leaders can rest easy.

Support Mounts to Move Illinois Primary to March
By Warner Todd Huston | 03/21/10 | 3:32 PM EDT | 0 Comments
I expect that this will happen sooner rather than later, but it looks like very few people want to leave the Illinois primary at the ridiculously early February date. It seems fairly obvious that the primary will end up moved back to March like it was before.
Of course, the sad thing is that no one is focusing on why it was moved to February in the first place. It was a cynical ploy by the Illinois Democrat Party to nominate Barack OBama early to help his presidential campaign.
As always, Democrats only care what warped *new* "rules" they can make up out of their rear-ends in order to push their agenda. Logical, common sense, and tradition means nothing to a Democrat.
They will warp anything to further their agenda, just anything. And now Democrats are blandly saying, "gosh, yeah let's move it back to March," as if they had nothing to do with the move in the first place. And the media are letting them get away with it.
But not here, folks. We won't let them get away without the blame they deserve. Democrats are responsible for that debacle. And don't you forget it.

Tell Your Illinois Representatives to Vote 'No' on Obamacare

We are coming to crunch time, folks.
If you don't want to see the end of the United States as a free country, if you abhor the idea of the emergence of the new European States of America, then call your Illinois representatives and tell them to vote "no" on this Obamanation of a bill.
