Vietnamese-Americans Back Bobby Schilling in Illinois’ 17th Congressional District Race
October 31st, 2010 · 4 Comments
When I learned over the weekend that the Free Vietnamese Mutual Association of Quad Cities will support Illinois Republican Bobby Schilling in his bid to unseat liberal Democrat incumbent Phil Hare in the 17th Congressional District race, I was reminded of a story I published Aug. 19. That story focused on the hardships, past and [...]

Phil Hare’s ‘Year of Foolishness’ Revisited
October 25th, 2010 · 10 Comments
Barely one week before election day, it’s time to review what I like to call the “year of foolishness” lived out loud by U.S. Rep. Phil Hare, a liberal Democrat running for reelection in Illinois’ 17th Congressional District. On Dec. 16, 2009, Hare told Chris Matthews’ MSNBC audience he would welcome terrorists from Guantanamo Bay [...]

Labor Union Desperate to Save Phil Hare’s Seat
October 3rd, 2010 · 3 Comments
If you saw the front page of the latest edition of QUAD CITIES LABOR NEWS, you probably noticed an article under the headline, WHAT’S WITH ALL THE BILLBOARDS? Unfortunately, the article beneath the headline fails to offer a truthful answer to the question and, in fact, stinks of desperation. The article begins with the following [...]

Phil Hare Encouraged to ‘Keep on Digging!’
September 19th, 2010 · 2 Comments
Taking into consideration the entire width and breadth of incumbent Democrat Congressman Phil “I Don’t Worry About the Constitution” Hare’s poorly-managed re-election campaign to date, I can’t help but think of the advice so many unskilled politicians have received over the years: “Once you’ve dug yourself into a hole that’s too deep, stop digging.” When [...]

Phil Hare Files Complaint Against Veterans
September 1st, 2010 · 2 Comments
Uh, oh! Phil Hare, the incumbent Democrat running for re-election in Illinois’ 17th Congressional District, is at it again, apparently sore at veterans like Medal of Honor recipient John F. Baker Jr. who are supporting his opponent, Republican Bobby Schilling. With the help of James L. Moody, chairman of the Sangamon County (Ill.) Democratic Party, [...]

Phil Hare Supporter Devalues Medal of Honor
August 23rd, 2010 · 2 Comments
On Aug. 1, I reported here and on Andrew Breitbart’s BigGovernment.com the fact that Bobby Schilling, the Republican challenger to Democrat incumbent U.S. Rep. Phil Hare in Illinois’ 17th Congressional District, had received the endorsement of Army Sgt. John F. Baker Jr., a Medal of Honor recipient from Illinois. Now, it appears, at least one [...]
