From John Cole (h/t Kevin) - reminders that Jeremiah Wright was not involved in any of the offenses of national import that the Bush Administration was - and really, that John McCain wants largely to perpetuate:
“Is it an offensive notion that the government created aids? Absolutely, but I refuse to get all bent out of […]
Democratic Candidate Tony Michelassi got picked up by the Lisle Sun in a profile here - and Progress Illinois picked it up here. I met Tony a while ago (he was then with Ruben Zamora’s 14th Congressional District campaign) - and he is certainly enthusiastic. You can check out Tony’s campaign blog here.
When their only principle is power, is it strange that the powerful are unprincipled?
Karl Rove feigns an innocent appreciation of John McCain.
Meanwhile, consider that John McCain believes it’s ok for the CIA to torture - although he uses other words for it.
Draw your own conclusion.
Forget about “straight-talk” when it comes to GOP Presidential nominee John McCain the standard is ‘don’t take his word for it, take ours’ according to the Republican National Committee (RNC), which is protesting the use of John McCain’s own words for a TV ad that describes John McCain’s objectionable policy position in Iraq.

Kifowit has expressed criticism of Shomon’s work in the past, and more recently argued that any new contract with him […]
Illinois Lieutenant Governors have the primary duty of waiting until the governor is “dead” and then succeeding them (pdf). Gotta wonder what Pat Quinn thinks of this.
[Editor Note: Just experienced the dangers of Google cache. Not sure if my inadvertent “quote from behind the wall” of Rich’s Capitol Fax is kosher or not (I saw the Google cache of the Naperville Dems site, but grabbed the link to the current site where, after publishing this and then checking the […]
John McCain is against improving education benefits for veterans because it could affect military retention rates. What do you even say about a policy amounting to ‘keep ‘em down and they’ll stick around’? Horrifying? Accurate? Cynical? Exploitive?
