GOPUSA ILLINOIS Daily Clips - September 18, 2008
DIERSEN: BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: As Carville said, "It's the economy, stupid." People, organizations, and countries that want Obama elected are anti-conservative moral relativists that have made it clear that they believe "the end justifies the means." Their leaders believe that driving America's economy down will increase the likelihood that Obama will be elected.

-- OUTSTANDING: Palin cometh? - Michael Sneed
http://www.suntimes.com/lifestyles/1170612,CST-NWS-SNEED18.article
(THE ARTICLE: Sneed hears Gov. Sarah Palin may be heading to the heart of Obama country. Word is GOP presidential contender John McCain's running mate is being courted to hit Illinois for a Republican National Committee fund-raiser -- and capitalize on her growing popularity among women voters in Obamaland. "We're working on it," said Rep. Jim Durkin, who is GOP presidential contender John McCain's Illinois campaign chairman. "She could easily raise $4 million for the RNC coffers," said another top McCain source.)

Beyond outrageously, for many years, some people who claim to be Republican, and some who even claim to be "conservative," have libeled and slandered me. They make it clear that they will continue to do so until I agree to do their bidding.)

NAPERVILLE SUN
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Because of the inexplicably large increase in the number of votes reportedly cast for Democrats in Republican DuPage County, Diersen shares Bill Mego's concerns about voter fraud in DuPage County. Lots of Democrats are fleeing the poverty and crime in Democrat areas to take advantage of prosperity and safety in Republican DuPage County, but not that many Democrats. Lots of voters are being bamboozled by Democrat television stations, Democrat newspapers, Democrat websites, Democrat educators, Democrat entertainers, Democrat "religious leaders," Democrat "community organizers," etc., but not that many voters. Admittedly, DuPage County Republican party leaders, DuPage County Republican elected officials, and DuPage County Republican candidates can and should do much much more show voters why they should VOTE GOP.

ILLINOIS ISSUES
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anyone who reads my posts knows that I hope to see candidates elected who will efficiently and effectively advance the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform. Anyone who reads Kristen McQueary's posts knows that she hopes to see candidates elected who will efficiently and effectively advance the Illinois Democrat Party platform. Outrageously, Illinois Issues presents McQueary as someone who can objectively identify and discuss the IRP's "next political leaders." Presenting McQueary as someone who can be objective about Republicans is like presenting me as someone who can be objective about Democrats. McQueary identifies and discusses four Republicans - Cross, Kirk, Roskam, and Schock -- and six Democrats -- Emanuel, Giannoulias, Jackson, Lisa Madigan, Reilly, and Dan Hynes.
