GOPUSA ILLINOIS Daily Clips - March 25, 2008

NBC5
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: NBC5 video clip brings us all up to date on JACK RYAN and outrageously all but argues that JACK RYAN agrees with the Combine's directive to the news media to cover up BILL FOSTER's serious divorce problems. If the Combine wanted OBERWEIS to defeat FOSTER, the Combine would have directed the news media to a) promote FOSTER's serious divorce problems and b) promote those problems as evidencing a fatal character flaw.

-- Stop political corruption, elect candidates who really are conservative - Dave Diersen
www.gopillinois.com
(THE COMMENTARY: The first test of being a conservative is that you respect the rule of law. Elected officials who really are conservative would never engage in or allow political corruption. Anti-conservatives, like Rod Blagojevich and George Ryan, believe in moral relativism and that "the end justified the means." They believe that if they fight against conservatives and fight against conservative principles, they do not have to respect the rule of law and they can do whatever they want. The anti-conservative Daily Herald does everything it can to elect anti-conservatives in Illinois and to reelect anti-conservatives in Illinois. Then outrageously, the anti-conservative Daily Herald hypocritically asks "Where's the outrage?" over political corruption in Illinois (SEE DAILY HERALD EDITORIAL ABOVE), when in fact, the anti-conservative Daily Herald constructively argues that to keep conservatives out of statewide elected offices in Illinois, political corruption is a reasonable price for Illinois citizens to pay.)
