Schock Applauds Reid on Highway Bill

from Congressman Aaron Schock

Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Aaron Schock (IL-18) hailed a commitment Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) made to Senator George Voinovich (R-OH), in which he pledged to bring forth a multi-year surface transportation reauthorization bill to the floor for a vote this year.

“For months, I’ve been calling for the reauthorization of a highway bill which will create American jobs while making tangible improvements to our infrastructure,” said Schock. “I’m grateful Majority Leader Reid has indicated his support for such an effort this year.”

Illinois politicians further regulate elections

Yesterday, an Illinois House committee approved, by a 9-0 vote, a measure that would push the state's primary election to mid-March instead of having it in February.

Politicians in Springfield also approved an election regulation requiring candidates for governor to pick a lieutenant governor running mate for the primary. Currently, governors and lieutenant governors are nominated separately in the primary, and they run together in the general election.

Quinn to post budget online at noon

At noon today, Democrat Gov. Pat Quinn is scheduled to post his preliminary budget online at www.budget.illinois.com. Quinn won't provide details about what will be posted on the site, but it's no secret the state is facing an "estimated" $13 billion deficit.

While Quinn says he's making the information public in an effort to foster "electronic democracy," it's more likely this is an effort to build public (read public employee) support for his call for an income tax increase.

Dillard aids Brady, admits hopes slim

Can Kirk appeal to social conservatives?

by Fran Eaton

It's the elephant in the room at Republican gatherings around the state. What will social conservatives do in November with left-leaning U.S. Senate candidate Mark Kirk? The Democrats' Alexi Giannoulias is an Obama clone -- antagonistic towards any traditional values -- but many conservatives find Kirk's voting record offensive and say they simply can't vote for him. Kirk's made no public outreach to social conservatives thus far.

In today's Southtown Star, I asked noted social conservatives their thoughts about Kirk. From my Southtown Star "Always Right" column:

Illinois Family Institute Executive Director David E. Smith said it would take a "miracle" for him to vote for Kirk in November.

Christian radio talk-show host Sandy Rios holds a position similar to Smith's.

Third of All U.S. Casualties in Eight-Year Afghan War Have Occurred Under Obama

According to CNSNews.com, more than 300 U.S. soldiers have died in the war in Afghanistan since May 15, 2009, the day when the first major wave of new troops ordered by President Barack Obama arrived in the country.

The 308 U.S. casualties in Afghanistan since then account for about a third of the total of 920 U.S. casualties in the eight-year war.

Giannoulias family linked to anti-Semite radicals

The American Thinker's Peggy Shapiro has been digging into the funding of radical pro-Palestinian groups, and found Illinois' Democrats' U.S. Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias' family smack dab in the center. Not only is The Crossroads a funding arm against Israel, it has donated to Chicago's ACORN and has ties to left extremists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. 

Shapiro writes about the mounting scandals surrounding the Giannoulias family's funding ties:

Bill Foster MIA. Just What Does Congressman Foster Do?

by Ghost of John Brown

The other day, I stumbled upon a webcast of one of the Committee hearings in Washington, DC.  It got me thinking, "I wonder what my Congressman's thoughts are on certain issues?"  I wondered if I could see him in the middle of a back and forth discussion with panel members.  If you haven't done so, take a look at the US House of Representative's website.  There actually is quite a lot of information and full video of Congressional hearings.  For once, I think Congress is moving in the right direction.

So I looked to see which Committee my Congressman is on.  One of the two committees is the House Financial Services Committee, which is chaired by none other than Barney Frank.  If nothing else, Congressman Frank is entertaining, so I thought, what the heck, I'll see if I can find some interesting tidbits.

Climategate: Greatest Hoax ever perpetrated

In this PJTV interview, U.S. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) joins the London Telegraph in dubbing climate change "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated" and calls for former Vice President Al Gore to be investigated for financially benefitting from perpetrating the fears of Climategate.

With mounting evidence that the world has been snowed -- perhaps even criminally -- on the issue of global warming, Inhofe says in the interview "We're winning, they're losing."  Take a few minutes to have your heart warmed with the outspokenness of Senator Inhofe.

Quinn stands firm on tax increases

from Associated Press

Gov. Pat Quinn says he thinks it's "necessary" the Illinois House consider a plan to raise the state income tax that passed the Illinois Senate last year.

Quinn said Tuesday getting more revenue is one of four things the state must do to weather a "financial crisis." The deficit could reach $13 billion this year.

He says the three other steps the state must take are more budget cuts, borrowing money and getting as much federal money as possible.

The Democratic governor will offer more budget details Wednesday on a new Web site, and on March 10, when he delivers his annual budget address.

Quinn wants lawmakers to consider borrowing $250 million for health care so the state can get more federal matching money. And, he wants lawmakers to consider letting universities borrow to pay their bills.

Cash for water heaters

Over the past year taxpayers -- those Americans who still have a source of income other than the government -- generously financed mortgage bailouts, banking bailouts, auto company bailouts and Wall Street bailouts.  We've provided Cash for Clunkers.

One More Canadian Chooses US Health Care

White House accused of federal crime in U.S. Senate races

Maybe you haven't heard about this Chicago-style political scandal brewing in D.C. Sounds similar to something that could have easily happened on those wiretapped phone calls the feds are holding. From the American Spectator:

A bombshell has just exploded in the 2010 elections. For the second time in five months, the Obama White House is being accused -- by Democrats -- of offering high ranking government jobs in return for political favors. What no one is reporting is that this is a violation of federal law that can lead to prison time, a fine or both, according to Title 18, Chapter 11, Section 211 of the United States Code.

56% oppose Obama's health care plan

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 41% of voters favor the proposed health care plan, while 56% oppose it. Those figures include 45% who strongly oppose the plan and just 23% who strongly favor it.

Support for and opposition to the plan are at the same levels they've been at since just after Thanksgiving.

Hayes: Jackson's progressive agenda to grow government

from the Hayes for Congress campaign

CHICAGO – The following statement was released today by Rev. Isaac C. Hayes, the GOP nominee for Congress in IL-2, and opponent of Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL) in response to his continued call for a public option.

“Mr. Jackson’s insistence on a public option comes as no surprise,” said Hayes. “His Big Government appetite is inherent in his role as one of the founding members of the Apollo Alliance – a far left radical group that includes the likes of Van Jones. We have seen the results of his Progressive agenda that has left Robbins, IL with a 98% poverty rate. He now wants to spread his failed policies throughout the rest of the country. Mr. Jackson claims to be on the side of ‘hard-working men and women,’ but his tax and spend agenda contradicts his sixteen years in Congress.”

Huckabee to CPAC: Ready, fire, aim

by Bill Pascoe

More proof that former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has no intention of competing for the Republican nomination for President in 2012: Saturday night, on FOX News, responding to a question about his dismal sixth-place finish in the CPAC straw poll, he trashed CPAC.

"CPAC has becoming increasingly more libertarian and less Republican over the last years, one of the reasons I didn’t go this year," he told Geraldo Rivera in attempting to explain why he came in behind Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, Tim Pawlenty, and Mike Pence with a lowly 4 percent of the vote in the straw poll.

More evidence of lawbreaking at Planned Parenthood

The lawbreaking continues at Planned Parenthoods. This time, the video is at a Milwaukee, WI site. When will someone have the courage and fortitude to step in, enforce the law and protect our naive minor girls? 

Why wouldn't IL's Attorney General Lisa Madigan see such a cause to be a just one in Illinois? Still, our parental notification laws are on hold, strangled by judicial bureaucracy, and our daughters are being abused by taxpayer-funded lawbreakers like the one in this video. It's happening here, too. It's a national travesty.

Commies Approve of Comrade Obama's Healthcare Proposal

by Sam Pierce

It should not surprise anyone to learn that People's World has has an article which is supportive of President Barack Obama's Healthcare proposal and his steadfast desire to impose it on the nation. Of course, most media outlets have an affinity for Obama and his Marxist leanings, but People's World is special. This particular publication is dedicated to the very ideology that guides President Obama, as stated on their "About the People's World" page:

The People's World / Mundo Popular is a national, grassroots newspaper and the direct descendant of the Daily Worker. Published by Long View Publishing Co., the PW reports on and analyzes the pressing issues and struggles of the day: for workers' rights, peace, equality, social and economic justice, democracy, civil liberties, women's rights, protection of the environment, and more.

Mr. President, Please, Please, Please Go Full Guns on Health Care

by Ghost of John Brown

Nothing could make me happier.  Like a groupie pursuing an 80's metal band, President Obama has been pursuing Universal Health Care, even though the bouncers (in this case, the American taxpayers) have been trying to block him.

The Democrats are threatening to pursue reconciliation (essentially jamming through the legislation), they're going to throw pro-life Democrats under the bus and fund abortions, and they are proposing all of this while they are talking about having a "bi-partisan" summit to help develop a plan, showing that the President is ANYTHING but bi-partisan.  Please, Mr. President, show the American people that you really don't care what they think.  Please show the American people that you can't be trusted.  Please, show the people that they should vote for Republicans this fall so they can keep you in check. There's not a chance it will pass, but it will make Democrats more rare than the Mexican walking fish.

Van Jones Returns

by Phil Kerpen

A speech in New Hampshire appears to be just the beginning of former green jobs czar Van Jones's comeback tour. But his environmental advocacy can't be separated from his political extremism.

This is just the start of his comeback tour; on March 8, Jones will again appear at a Democratic “green jobs” event, in New York with U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. That otherwise respectable people would come to “green jobs” events with Van Jones suggests that his “green jobs” advocacy is somehow separable from his political extremism. It isn’t.

Van Jones is a self-professed communist. In 2005 he explained his radicalization following the Rodney King verdict to the alternative San Francisco newspaper the East Bay Express: “I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th. By August, I was a communist.” He went on to say that he had changed only his means, not his objectives: “I'm willing to forgo the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of radical ends.”

Andrzejewski to Spearhead Forensic Audit at Illinois Secretary of State

from the Enriquez campaign

February 21, 2010, AURORA - Robert Enriquez, Republican candidate for Illinois Secretary of  State, announced today that Adam Andrzejewski would lead the forensic audit of the Illinois  Secretary of State’s office after victory in the November general election.

"Voters have lost faith in the government because of waste, plum jobs within top-heavy management, corruption and, historically, the Secretary of State’s office has played a pivotal  role in corruption and patronage jobs" said Robert Enriquez. “Andrzejewski made a compelling case for good government, transparency and audits while he ran for governor and he is an excellent choice to champion those measures within the office of Secretary of State. Upon completion of the forensic audit, I will review and release the audit online for all Illinois citizens. My administration must begin with a completely clean slate.  Transparency will be a hallmark of the Secretary of State's office under my leadership.”

Adam Andrzejewski added, “By leading on transparency and auditing of spending, Robert Enriquez is demonstrating that he will aggressively and boldly bring reform to the Secretary of State’s office.  I look forward to working with Robert Enriquez (R).”

Tea Party celebration or a family feud?

While first birthday wishes to the Tea Party movement are sprinkling down like confetti this week, there seems to be a family feud developing among Illinois Tea Party activists over the movement's parentage. Specifically, when the Illinois Tea Party movement was born and who the movement's official spokepeople are. 

Fresh off a weekend in the national media spotlight, Tea Party activists that dominated this year's premiere conservative gathering -- CPAC 2010 -- bombarded Illinois news editors with updated information on just who Illinois' "authorized" Tea Party spokespersons are.

"While there are those that may, in some way, represent their groups or themselves as being the ‘Official spokesman’ or ‘Official Tea Party’ contact in an attempt to appear to speak for all, it’s only the various organizations themselves that can truly address what they believe. (We have 50 and growing local organizations across the state)," wrote Virginia Petru in the press release's introduction.

Little Barry Thinks He's Nixon

by John F. Di Leo

President Obama – confronted with a severe recession, an unrelenting torrent of job losses, and huge security threats during an unconventional and many-fronted war – says he believes that healthcare affordability is our most pressing problem, and he chose Washington’s Birthday to announce his proposal for solving it: the massive federal regulation of health insurance premium pricing. 

Years of escalating health insurance costs have led this agitator, law professor, and legislator – with no business experience whatever – to seemingly the easiest of possible conclusions for a problem in the healthcare business:  if prices are high, just cap them. 

Forty years ago, also facing recession fears during a challenging foreign war, President Richard M. Nixon looked for the easy way out.  Food prices were out of control, inflation was worrying everyone… and the day’s reigning Keynesians were adamant that the use of government coersion was the best way to put the situation right.

Dillard says he's still waiting

from the Dillard for Governor campaign

(Lisle, Ill.) – Republican candidate for governor Kirk Dillard today provided a campaign update regarding the vote count in the GOP Primary:

“As I have said, the race for governor is a statewide election, and it is our sincere desire that every legal vote is counted and counted accurately. That process continues, and we will await the results from the Illinois State Board of Elections before determining our next course of action.”

Tryon Legislation to Bring Transparency to State Budget

Springfield…With the battle over the state budget looming, state Rep. Mike Tryon (R-Crystal Lake) has proposed legislation to drastically reform the state budget process by making it more accurate, accountable and transparent.

“To those not familiar with state government and even some within state government, the state budget process is backwards and confusing,” said Tryon. “If we truly want to reign in spending, put an end to borrow-and-spend budgeting, and address the massive debt facing this state, we must reform the budget process through accountability and transparency.”

To accomplish those goals, in cooperation with the Institute for Truth in Accounting and the Americans for Prosperity, Tryon has introduced House Bill 5212, which would create the Truth in Accounting Act of 2010.  Among other things, the legislation would:

Free Market Essentials Part 4: Competition

by R.J. Moeller

We've already covered Scarcity, Property Rights, and Division of Labor, and so today we move on to 4th "Free Market Essential":  Competition.

When you combine scarcity with property rights and division of labor you inevitably arrive at “Competition.”

When a man, let’s call him Bill, decides to become a dentist, he has chosen a profession that will require him to be reliant upon other people to produce his food, clothes, and shelter (Division of Labor). Bill is able to purchase the goods and services he wants and needs because the fruits of his labor (i.e. clean teeth, root canals, etc.) were rewarded with compensation from his patients, and he has exclusive claim to that compensation (Property Rights). His patients came to him because there were only a certain number of dentists to choose from (Scarcity).

But even with only a limited number of dentists in the world, when you open your Yellow Pages you see a list of offices to choose from. Bill’s patients chose his office because he was either better or cheaper than the dentist down the street.

Kirk and Klein: Enforce Iran Sanctions Act

from Congressman Mark Kirk

WASHINGTON – U.S. Reps. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) and Ron Klein (D-Fla.) along with 28 bipartisan members of Congress sent a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton requesting a briefing on the identity of companies currently under investigation by the State Department for alleged violations of the Iran Sanctions Act.

The Iran Sanctions Act, passed in 1996 as the Iran Libya Sanctions Act, authorizes sanctions against foreign companies that invest more than $20 million in Iran's oil and gas sectors.

Last fall, 50 members of Congress wrote to the President, urging the Administration to fully enforce the act and determine if entities listed in a recent Congressional Research Service (CRS) report were indeed in violation of U.S. law.  On Feb. 1, 2010, the Administration responded to the congressional inquiry, stating that the State Department had concluded its preliminary review of the companies listed in the CRS report, and is now examining companies it deems “problematic.”

Nancy Pelosi and the Cow

by Ghost of John Brown

Nancy Pelosi was being driven through the country side. Suddenly, a cow jumps out into the road, they hit it full on, and the car comes to a  stop.

Nancy, in her usual charming manner, says to the chauffeur, "You get out and check--you were driving."

So the chauffeur gets out, checks, and reports that the animal is dead but it was old.

"You were driving, so you go and tell the farmer," says Nancy .

ILGOP: Why should Alexi's family ask for help?

from the Illinois Republican Party

CHICAGO – Now 25 days since promising reporters he would answer questions surrounding his role in the near-collapse of his family’s Broadway Bank, the Illinois Republican Party is asking Democrat Alexi Giannoulias to explain why he needs to wait for a request from his family to return his million-dollar payout when the bank is already near collapse and it could help prevent a taxpayer bailout for the bank from the FDIC.

This morning, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that the Giannoulias-owned Broadway Bank "was struggling because it had relied so heavily on high-risk loans of the type Giannoulias approved as vice president" and added that Giannoulias' "Democratic primary election rival, David Hoffman, hammered Giannoulias on the stump with that fact."  But when asked by the Sun-Times whether he would "give back any of that $1 million" in dividends he removed from the bank in 2007 and 2008, Giannoulias replied, "If my family asks me, sure."

Hendon's as left as you can get

The ad hominem attacks have started by the state's radical leftists on State Senator Bill Brady even before his candidacy for governor is secured.  Not waiting for the IL GOP primary vote tabulation to be confirmed, losing Democratic LG candidate State Senator Rickey Hendon said "You don't get any crazier" than the Bloomington lawmaker.

HENDON to Chicago Public Radio: People will look at Bill Brady and his horrific, horrific voting record. I serve in the Senate with him. He is as far to the right as you can possibly get. You don't get any crazier  - and that's the word I used - than Bill Brady when it comes to right-wing politics.

Gingrich: I'm deeply worried

Does Congress Want Your 401k?

by Ghost of John Brown

As the economy and the tax revenues for the Federal Government struggle, it is not surprising that leftists start thinking of "creative" solutions.  As Rahm Emanuel has said, "Never let a serious crisis go to waste".

Last week, former Speaker Newt Gingrich and Peter Ferrera penned a disturbing article about the government's ideas of converting 401k's into "Guaranteed Retirement Accounts" or GRA's.  This is based on the work by Dr. Teresa Ghilarducci, who testified before Congress last year.  The idea is to start off as an optional plan of being able to convert your 401k into a GRA, which the government would control.  This would, in effect, give you an annuity.  The second component of this is to have forced savings.  Because you are too stupid to control your own savings, the government will take 5% of your earnings and invest it for you.  Of course you will be investing in US Treasuries, which the Chinese are so sure they want to buy anymore.

Durbin favors trial lawyers over Illinoisans

Madison County Record, based in one of the nation's "judicial hellholes" as Peter Fitzgerald called them, skewed U.S. Senator Dick Durbin's preferred treatment of the people he represents -- trial lawyers -- in yesterday's editorial, saying Durbin favors trial lawyers over Illinoisans.  This is even more troubling with the likelihood that Dick Durbin could grab control with the impending defeat of Harry Reid in Nevada this fall:

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has reached the pinnacle of influence-peddling, but Dick the Whip is right behind. Four of Reid's top seven donors are plaintiffs firms, as are Durbin's top two. The Whip has whipped up $3.6 million in contributions from lawyers, according to Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberley Strassel, who calls Durbin "the Senate's patron saint of the trial bar."

SEIU-ACORN a criminal conspiracy, congressional report finds

The chutzpa of entitlement-obsessed liberals is breathtaking.  Last week, members of the Service Employees International  Union protested at our State Capitol, demanding higher wages to be paid for with an increase in our personal income taxes -- for the waning number of us still fortunate enough to have taxable incomes.

Illinoisans, we assume, are to pay no attention to the 68 page Congressional report released last week by California U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa which makes four crucial findings about the tax dollar-crazed SEIU-ACORN:

Brady Gives Conservatives Chance to Make Our Stand

by Charlie Johnston

At the Republican Unity Breakfast the morning after election I sat at a table at which two elegant women waxed enthusiastic about how excited they were about Mark Kirk’s nomination for U.S. Senate. They were thrilled they finally had a candidate they could fully support. They were not quite so enthusiastic about the prospect of Bill Brady being the nominee for governor. Downstaters had thrust another Neanderthal on us, you know. But not to fear, they would be voting for Pat Quinn and help teach the Neanderthals they can’t win in Illinois. Fortunately, the other people at the table just looked mildly discomfited, but did not clue the ladies in that one of the Neanderthal chiefs was sitting at the table with them, so I got the full benefit of their unvarnished contempt for all things conservative.

Civic Federation recommends raising income taxes 66%

The first trumpet blast in what's to be a growing orchestrated symphony of public policy instruments resonating the urgent clarion call for "higher taxes" was sounded this morning by the "non-partisan" Chicago-based Civic Federation. 

While the Civic Foundation dubs the suggestion "distasteful," there's no other way to get Illinois out of its $11 billion budget deficit, they tell us in a Chicago Tribune story, but to raise the state's personal income tax from 3 to 5 percent, increase the corporate income tax from 4.6 to 6.2, and begin taxing senior citizens on their Social Security and retirement pension income.
