CHICAGO – "The Democratic Party of Illinois is nothing more than a vehicle for no talent cronies and grifters to reward friends, wield power, and personally profit from public office."
Those are the introductory words found on the IL GOP's new website www.Demcorruption.com to expose epidemic of Democrat corruption.
It goes on.
"Each week brings with it news of federal investigators engaging in a wide-ranging corruption probe that has already yielded indictments for two Democrat state legislators and the most powerful Chicago alderman, among others. The ongoing stream of FBI warrants and subpoenas tell the story of a political machine run amok, engaging in blatant, wide-ranging corruption without concern for consequences," the intro says.
Then visitors are intructed to "read below to learn about the main players – those already indicted and those biding their time – within the Illinois Democrat Crime Ring."
The photos of nine Democrats are prominently displayed – led by House Speaker Mike Madigan, Gov. JB Pritzker and Sen. Martin Sandoval (D-Chicago).
"Democratic leaders in Illinois are a crime ring masquerading as a political party. No other state in America has virtually all of its top political leaders currently under federal investigation for corruption. From the Statehouse to Chicago City Hall, Democrat leaders like Madigan, Pritzker, and Burke have shown repeatedly they are in public service to abuse power, enrich themselves, and hand out favors to their friends. It’s time to turn this corrupt status quo into a five-alarm fire that wakes up the public and media – the only ones who can hold these politicians accountable,” ILGOP Chairman Tim Schneider is quoted as saying.
The website lists three Democrats indicted thus far on federal charges: Tom Cullerton, State Senator; Ed Burke, Chicago Alderman; and Luis Arroyo, State Representative (former)
They list six Democrats under federal investigation, including Mike Madigan, Speaker of the House & Chairman of the Democratic Party of Illinois; JB Pritzker, Governor, Martin Sandoval, State Senator; Carrie Austin, Chicago alderman; Daniel Solis, Chicago alderman; and Jeff Tobolski, Cook County Board.
The ILGOP says they created DemCorruption.com "to expose the misdealings of each politician and to help keep all the ongoing scandals straight."
“DemCorruption.com will serve as a central clearinghouse for information on Democrat corruption in Illinois,” explained ILGOP Chairman Tim Schneider. “Voters can stay up to date, learn how to fight back, and get involved in exposing the Illinois Democrat power structure for what it is: a criminal enterprise.”
