Where the heck are Illinois Republican elected leaders?

McLean County Chairman John Parrott's letter to his fellow members of the Platform and Resolutions Committee is a must read.

An incredible story – and one that could have included Illinois.

The problem in the United States is NOT the Democratic Party, it’s the Republican Party.

I’ve been saying it for years – and perusing the Internet these days – the calls for the same are multiplying. It’s time to stop being citizens in name only.

It’s time for a “brain wave” caucus to form in the Illinois General Assembly. In fact it’s long over due.

The scandalous news of possibly illegal money transfers by the IL GOP should put the brakes on party officials’ participation in the succession question in the 13th Congressional District.

As I’ve watched a lot of conservative “leaders” endorse Romney all I can think of is the Stockholm Syndrome, the mysterious phenomenon of loving your abuser.

For those who aren’t sleep-walking through this election cycle, it’s obvious that what’s playing out in the Republican Party is what has played out since Ronald Reagan left the stage.

Uh, Newt, it’s worse than that. The Republican Party is in a lot worse shape than people want to admit. Inarticulate? Doesn’t want to read books?
