Uncivil Rights
A BLOG rife with wit, sarcasm, and the endless joy which comes from taunting the socialistic and unpatriotic liberal left. Logical thoughts and musings ONLY need reply...unless you're really, really funny. You have the Uncivil Right to be an IDIOT.

The Race for Mayor of Aurora, Illinois
The primary is Tuesday, so go vote...for Tom Weisner. He is the best and most qualified candidate. No he is not Republican, he is a Democrat. Richard Irvin and his outside support is making this race one in which political parties are in the forefront. Unfortunately for them, there is no political party agenda issues to be addressed in Aurora, other than making it a stepping stone for Richard Irvin's political career. The majority of Aurora is Democrat even though Kane county has a Republican majority.
So we have people making this a political party issue where none exists. Some Republicans are unwilling to look at the need for Aurora and support a candidate who is most qualified simply because he is not a Republican. If Richard Irvin had the same strategy with the same issues and stances, but he labeled himself a Democrat, would he have these same supporters? Of course not. However, if Tom Weisner had the same ideas , issues and stances and labled himself a Republican, would he have the same supporters? Most likely so, and probably the majority of Wyatt's, Cunningham's, and Irvin's; it would be a runaway election for Weisner.
Another blog, One Man's Thoughts, is right leaning. He is a conservative, and I am sure he and I would normally see things from the same point of view, but he is obviously an Irvin supporter. That's fine if he would give some logical reasoning to his support of Irvin. Mostly he just slants some thing to make Weisner look bad. He mentioned the contributions to Weisner's campaign coming from supporters outside of City, yet he never mentions Irvin's. Most of Irvin's supporters are from outside Aurora. Here are some of the people who have contributed to his campaign recently:
Hillside? Bensenville? What interest do they have in Aurora...or is their interest in the future of Aurora? We know from Beacon News articles that Irvin has talked to private developers about various properties he wants to forcibly take utilizing eminent domain. I guess the resindents of Moecherville can rest easy knowing they're out of the City and cannot be annexed, even forcibly.
Note to Tom Cross: before you back a candidate and make him one of the new premier Republican candidates for the future of Illinois, I suggest you make sure his stance on issues are roughly the same as yours. I would hate to see you guys taken advantage of, but that would be funny.
