A Seat at the Table

Don’t they look good?

I assume the ad is for Ron Wait — his name is never mentioned — because it was paid for by the Illinois Republican Party, but I bet that Greg Tuite and Rod Blagojevich have never looked so good.

The back of the ad describes the “pay-to-play workout” accusing Tuite of giving the gov big bucks and profiting from it through a $42,000 per year part-time state job and getting $1 million in taxpayer-paid leases.

In concludes with “Democrats Greg Tuite & Rod Blagojevich … Pay-to-Play on Steroids.”

Do you think it’s an effective ad? I don’t because it tells me who NOT to vote for, but doesn’t tell me who I should be voting for. If there were a Green Party candidate in the race, maybe he’d get the votes.

    I think that Tuite’s ad about the sex offender is absolutely despicable. He is a trial lawyer; why have his “type” blocked the passage of Jessica’s Law? He needs to answer to that before anyone believes him. Illinois is among the very few, along with Vermont and Mass., that do not have Jessica’s Law.

    The ironic thing is, if the state party would have helped Tuite last time like they are this time, he would have been a winner and maybe it wouldn’t have gotten so ugly. Can’t wait to see what Sweeny says about this “debate.”
