Dan Proft: Everything You Need to Know About Illinois Politics
By JulianaJohnson at 12/01/2008 - 6:21pm

 

"Durbin may ask Bush to commute Ryan sentence"


In eight words this Chicago Tribune headline (Nov. 26) summed up everything you need to know about Illinois politics.


Yes, that is "Durbin" as in Dick Durbin, Illinois' senior U.S. Senator, a 25-year Democrat member of Congress, and the national co-chairman of the Obama presidential campaign. And the Ryan is none other than George Ryan, the disgraced former Republican governor sentenced to 6.5 years of breaking big rocks into little ones for operating a taxpayer-funded den of thieves as Secretary of State and then as Governor.


Durbin has all but said that Ryan's remaining prison sentence of more than five years should be commuted; now it is simply a matter of whether Durbin is willing to endure the political heat for taking action.


He certainly need not worry about heat from Republicans. Former Republican Governor Jim Thompson, Ryan's defense attorney (pro bono, because, hey, we're all friends here), was quick to lavish praise on Durbin. Former Republican Governor Jim Edgar also leaned that way saying, "George Ryan's paid a pretty big price...I'm not sure that a few more years (in prison) is all that much more punishment to him."


Dan Proft: The People Who Play By The Rules Party
By JulianaJohnson at 10/27/2008 - 3:47pm

During this Presidential cycle, America has truly become the land of short term memory.

Both political parties embrace socialism as if the ravages of that failed ideology were never visited upon the 20th Century.

On the campus of the University of Chicago, the legacy of Milton Friedman is protested while the presence of Bill Ayers across town at the University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC) is heralded.

Against this backdrop, I am proposing the creation of a new party. Not a party for "working families" or the "middle class", two categories stretched beyond recognition and rendered meaningless by overuse.

I want to be explicit. All successful political parties define their constituencies and defend them. So today I am launching the People Who Play By The Rules Party.

In this country, one has to accomplish three things to virtually guarantee never living in poverty: get a high school diploma; get married after the age of 20; and get married before having a child. The People Who Play the Rules Party is their party.


Dan Proft on Sarah Palin
By JulianaJohnson at 09/01/2008 - 4:44pm

John McCain's selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate is not being universally well-received (particularly among Democrats nervous about the attributes she brings to the GOP ticket) but I think it is the best choice McCain could have made and that Palin is likely to be the rare "game-changing" Vice Presidential candidate. I had the opportunity to discuss the reasons for my enthusiasm with the good folks at Fox News Chicago on Sunday and Monday mornings.

Take a look.
