In light of the recent expose on the carefree lifestyle led by Governor Rod Blagojevich, the Illinois Republican Party is conducting a special drawing across the state to make one lucky Illinoisan Governor for a Day.”While we can’t give you a $155,000 taxpayer funded paycheck to do nothing, we will attempt to come close by giving you what we believe one day in the life of Rod Blagojevich might be like,” said ILGOP Spokesperson Lance Trover.
The winner of Governor for a Day will begin the day at the hour of their choice. From then, they will be ushered to a salon for a haircut and massage. Following their time at the salon they will be treated to a first-class lunch which will be followed by a tour of the City of Chicago including visits to the Sears Tower and other Chicago landmarks. Ensuring they are treated just like our current governor, the winners will end their day by attending a Chicago Blackhawk’s game. Continue Reading

It might seem incredible that as a former Illinois governor reports to federal prison, the current chief faces similar misconduct allegations, from handing out state contracts as political rewards to accepting money under suspicious circumstances. But this is Illinois.
Blagojevich said he was different, declaring upon taking office in 2003 that he would “shake up a system in Springfield that accepts corruption.” Continue Reading

The question is simple but the answer is a bit more complicated, as we continually witness two different sides of Melissa Bean unfurl every single day.
Confirming her hypocrisy once again, self-proclaimed “moderate” and “mainstream” Melissa Bean has invited extreme San Francisco liberal Nancy Pelosi to Chicago to raise money for Bean’s re-election campaign. Continue Reading

What is it about Democrats and raising taxes? They simply can’t seem to get enough money from the hardworking men and women of Illinois for their liberal agenda.
From the top to the bottom, their answer to every governmental issue remains the same: we want your money…and lots of it.
