GOPUSA ILLINOIS Daily Clips - October 4, 2008
Only 31 days until the election!
DIERSEN: "It's the economy, stupid." Tragically, those individuals, organizations, and countries that want Obama elected are having great success in driving America's stock market down, in driving America's economy down, and in terrorizing Americans. They believe that the "end justified the means." They have made it clear that the bailout is "only the beginning" toward replacing capitalism with socialism. To show their power, on Friday, they drove Dow Jones down 157 points even after getting their bailout. What damage will they do next? Tragically, are Americans at the point where they will vote for Obama out of FEAR that if they do not, Obama's supporters will drive America's economy down even further? A vote for the bailout was a vote for Obama and for socialism. Who is going to stand up to Obama and the socialists? Who is going to stand up for America?

-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: The Daily Herald blasts Wheaton for increasing its sales tax rate. Sadly, based on the Daily Herald's promotion of the Democrat Party's platform, the Daily Herald would applaud Wheaton if it imposed a head tax on Republicans.
http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=240373&src=
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: The Daily Herald says "We're used to politicians misrepresenting the facts." When a DuPage County newspaper blasts "politicians," it is really blasting Republicans.

-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Tragically, the Democrat Party dominates public education in America. Because of that, to argue for the right to campaign in school is to argue for the right to force students to support Democrats, and especially, to force students to support Obama.
