Illinois House GOP poster

I thought this was pretty clever.

A word to conservatives

from Bruno Behrend at www.extremewisdom.com -

"I've been ending all my shows with "Extreme Wisdom for the Day" quotes and such. As I've talked to the listeners on the air, I notice that you can cut the malaise that permeates Illinois Conservatives with a knife.
Folks need something to get them off their negativism and start working for change. This tidbit from Mother Teresa might serve to assist in that goal:

Do It Anyway
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway."

These Guys Voted For Tax Increases

I've debated posting this for a few days, and finally decided to do it; after all, it's a matter of public record.

The following candidates for Woodford County Board in the Republican Primary voted for the 44% property tax levy increase last year:

- James Booth
- Ron Call
- Dave Griepentrog
- Ken Uphoff
- Larry Whitaker.

Now, I don't know about you, but a lot of folks think a price should be paid for this kind of thing, and that the polls are the place to collect.

As always, I leave it to the good judgement of the voters, which is more it seems than can be said for some Board members on many issues.
