And when you speak of ethics in Illinois, go ahead and google George Ryan and Jack Ryan. Check out Alan Keyes, now there's a freak you can relate to. All are Republicans who have tried their best to destroy the intergity of Illinois and failed. I hope you have a rotten (like your crotch) weekend and melt in your dirty ol trailer. And remember to wash that mouth out of yours. Dont expect me to believe anything you post Dilemma, you’re a liar.

This conservative shill is tired of fighting with you left wingers. I must admit, it’s been real. Given the nature of this site, any conservatives coming here would be indeed looking for a fight. The whole idea of the site is left wing based. If you were looking for a place where they would appreciate your ideas, may you look for a right activist blog (I have no idea if there are any) instead of posting arguments that are likely to develop in flame wars. Maybe your opinions would be more welcome if this was a nonpartisan effort in debating politics rather than a left wing tool to spread their beliefs. Not that I'd think such effort is ever capable of becoming reality. From what I see so far, liberals and conservatives are both uncapable of respecting the ideals of the other.
