-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Americans hate America and they especially hate America's automotive industry. They know that if they can destroy America's automotive industry, they can destroy America. So, if you want curry favor with those who want to destroy America, badmouth America's automotive industry.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
-- DIERSEN QUESTION: 34% say they are conservative, 22% say they are liberal, and 44% say they are moderate. Conservatives vote for conservatives, but 1 in 5 self-described conservatives voted for Obama. Liberals vote for liberals, but 1 in 10 self-described liberals voted for McCain. Because Obama is so extremely ultra-liberal, no one who really is a conservative or who really is a moderate would vote for Obama. So why did Obama get so many votes?

ILLINOIS ISSUES
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: VERY SAD: DEMOCRATS OVERJOYED: Edgar wants Illinois Republican candidates, Illinois Republican elected officials, and Illinois Republican party leaders to ignore if not reject the immigration and social planks in the Republican Party platform and the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform. A political party, like the IRP, is doomed if it is dominated by people, like Edgar, who ignore or reject the party's platform. Why didn't Edgar's candidate Judy Baar Topinka win in 2006?

WGIL RADIO
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Sadly, it seems that most Illinois Hispanics reject the immigration planks in the Republican Party platform and in the Illinois Republican Party platform. Edgar makes it clear that he, like McCain, also reject those planks. Given McCain's rejection of those planks, why didn't more Illinois Hispanics vote for McCain? If Republicans promised to give Hispanics even more preference than Democrats promise to give them, how many more votes would Republicans get?

CHAMPION NEWS
-- Illinois GOP ignored every tsunami warning – again (Part 3) - Doug Ibendahl
http://www.championnews.net/article.php?sid=1379
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So let's bring in someone who does get it. Let's invite Sarah Palin to be the keynote speaker for a real State GOP Convention after the first of the year. The misfits who ruined the Decatur state convention and did their part to destroy McCain-Palin's chances will have to be on their best behavior if Palin is around. If they have any shame, they won't come at all. This could really be historic, a true game changer. Anyone seeking to replace Andy McKenna as Party Chairman, and anyone who plans to seek statewide office in 2010 should help Republicans make this happen. Honest candidates are the ones with the most to gain.)

MIAMI HERALD
-- In wake of defeat, Republican leaders rethink message - James Rosen
http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics/AP/story/761902.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just as quickly, a split emerged between Republican loyalists advocating a purer form of conservative ideology and those urging a less-dogmatic flexibility. South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, the head of the most conservative faction of Senate Republicans, said the Democratic election gains vindicated his hard-edged call for a return to the Reaganite roots of limited government and low taxes. "We have got to clean up, reform and rebuild before we can ask the American people to trust us again," DeMint said. "This election reflects a failure of Republicans to keep their conservative promises." DeMint derided the financial bailout package pushed by President Bush and passed by Congress last month as "a trillion-dollar bust." He urged Republicans to abandon "the Democrat-lite strategy of higher spending and bigger government.")

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
-- One more reason for Republicans to move to Precinct 9 in Wheaton -- all the Republicans on the November 4 ballot who ran for congressional, state, or county offices were elected - Dave Diersen
www.gopillinois.com
It makes a lot of sense for people to want to live in precincts, municipalities, townships, and counties where their neighbors share their political beliefs. In addition to prosperity, safety, great schools, etc., one more reason for Republicans to move to Precinct 9 in Wheaton is that all the Republicans on the November 4 ballot who ran for congressional, state, or county offices were elected. Republican Peter Roskam won and he represents the precinct and Illinois District 6 in Congress. Republican Randy Hultgren won and he represents the precinct and District 48 in the Illinois Senate. Republican Mike Fortner won and he represents the precinct and District 95 in the Illinois House. Republicans Grant Eckhoff and Debra Olson represent the precinct District 4 on the DuPage County Board. Republican State's Attorney Joe Birkett, County Recorder Fred Bucholz, County Auditor Bob Grogan, Judge Blanche Fawell, Clerk of the Court Chris Kachiroubas, Judge John Kinsella, and County Coroner Pete Siekmann won and they work for the precinct and all of DuPage County.
QUESTION: Illinois conservatives, that is, Illinois platform Republicans, always want Illinois Republican Senators to cast their votes in accordance with the Illinois Republican Party platform. Which Illinois Republican Senator could and would do the best job of assuring that in his/her role as the next leader of the Illinois Republican Senators?
QUESTION: 34% say they are conservative, 22% say they are liberal, and 44% say they are moderate. So why do businesses, like newspapers and television stations, that claim to be in business to make a profit, constantly demonize conservatism and promote liberalism? Maybe those businesses are not really in business to make a profit. Maybe they are merely agents of the liberal Democrat Party.
