The premise of government shouldn't be to tax citizens for the same programs to be funded year after year, but to provide tangible results for the programs citizens want and need. Government's role is to create the best environment to allow citizens to succeed and enjoy their lives. In many cases, that means getting out of their way.

Sweet Joins the Sexual Slurs Crowd
She puts it in quotes but it's still there and elicited what she expected.
Who would have thought that political correctness would have evolved from those smiley-faced inanities in the 70's to excusing gross sexual slurs against Americans the left doesn't agree with.
Perhaps it was Palin that tipped her over the edge.
Perhaps we should ask Sweet's usual subject the First Lady if she thinks this is appropriate language for the public discourse. But then her husband has already used that term.
P.S. Will this kind of smutty talk play in Iowa? Poll: 33% of Iowans across the political spectrum support tea partiers
P.P.S. Wake up and smell the coffee, lefties.

Foul-Smelling, Foul-Talking Illinois Dems
Rumors abound that the incompetent Gov. Pat Quinn is cooking up a deal with Dem House Speaker Iron Mike Madigan to push out the duly-elected but scandalous Dem Lt. Governor pick--latest, he stiffed his ex for child support while spending millions on his campaign-- and replace him with someone more air-freshened, and Chicago machine. (Like Quinn's losing Dem gubernatorial opponent Dan Hynes. Good luck with that.) And this surfaces--Blago's estranged father-in-law alderman Dick Mell backed Scott Lee Cohen in the primary. He sure knows how to pick 'em.
Ditto on the Illinois Senate race, where the Dems (and our president Barack Obama) are fouled by the stench of current Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias' ties to mobsters , Tony Rezko, and Blago,
and his mismanagement of a state college fund, among other things. The pressure will be on Alexi to withdraw in favor of someone else. Perhaps Rahmbo, who is clearly looking around for a new job though he has lately had to profusely apologize for especially offensive language.
Of course all this unsavory maneuvering reminds Illinois voters of the Blago Bleepin' Golden Senate pick, the selling of the seat, the angling for a new job and plush benefits--which is why Sen. Roland Tombstone Burris is not running for reelection.
Then there's the timing of Blago's trial, starting this June and leading smack up to the November election.
Underlying all of this the state is essentially bankrupt. Unemployment stinks at 11%, above the national average--that's what we're left with--above average in failure.
And with the early primary (done to game the presidential primaries for then candidate Barack Obama) we're stuck with this smelly Dem hell for months more.
P.S. Oh, and the latest hilarity is Alexi's opening shot against independent Republican Mark Kirk in the Senate race, suggesting Kirk is a Washington insider--and he's an outsider!!!--when the Dems run everything there (and manage nothing). Well, go ahead, rerun that old playbook. I don't think it will work in Illinois this time.
We can smell a rat from a mile away. We have been living here.

Dem Lt. Gov Primary Winner Shocker: Pawnbroker & Hooker
Major media asleep at the wheel or looks the other way until after the election. And how about the Dem machine? Falling down on the job. Sun Times front page: Election Winners Shocking Past: Pawnbroker who won Democratic nod for lieutenant governor was arrested several years ago for allegedly holding a knife to prostitute ex-girlfriend's neck.Story. He told the Sun Times columnist Mark Brown about it months ago but Brown didn't take him seriously. Cohen says he fell in with the wrong crowd. Well. How about now. Tribune online this morning. These paragraphs from the print edition which somehow disappeared online:
Candidates for Illinois governor and lieutenant governor run separately in the primary but as a team in the general election--a quirk in state law that has led to some strange political marriages in the past and one notable disaster for Democrats. In 1986 , Democratic governor candidate Adlai Stevenson III bolted the party after primary voters paired him with a lieutenant governor candidate who was an acolyte of political extremist Lyndon LaRouche. Stevenson lost the general election.John Kass: A pawnbroker and a hooker story make Illinois elections into a political tearjerker.
The job has been described as the most boring office in state government and its occupants rarely have a meaningful role in policymaking. But the post took on new importance last year when Democrat Pat Quinn ascended to the top job after Rod Blagojevich was arrested on corruption charges, impeached and ousted from office in January.
This is Democrat Illinois, America.

Conservatives did well in Illinois
In three suburban Chicago congressional races, the 8th, the 10th and the 14th a conservative candidate won over their GOP primary challenger. In the case of the 10th, the open Mark Kirk seat, conservatives had three candidates and still managed to beat the RINO.
The Republican establishment candidate for governor Andy McKenna is a sure loser, while conservative Bill Brady is in the lead, albeit a slim one over moderate Kirk Dillard.
GOP Senate primary winner Mark Kirk is not a conservative, but assuming he prevails in the fall, which is a good bet given the incompetence and corruption of the Dem candidate, this would be a Republican pick-up--and that of the old Obama seat to boot:)
Illinois' results continue the conservative/independent narrative begun in upstate New York, New Jersey and Virginia, and most spectacularly in Massachusetts.
Engage. Full speed ahead.
More. Interesting piece on Palin and the Tea Parties. As far as the suburban mention by Continetti, I would just make mention of the landslide loss for a big ticket tax increase in a district that has been trending Dem and went for Obama last time. It's the 10th.
P.S. Kirk's earlier outreach to Palin.

Tea Party Impact in Illinois?
It's a crowded GOP field for the governor's race.
Right now all I am prepared to say is that I will consider it a conservative success if the establishment candidate Andy McKenna loses in today's primary.
P.S. And maybe a sleeper--backlash to the SEIU/Coulson anti-tea party dirty tricks propels Dr. Arie Friedman to victory in the 10th. I notice the beltway Politico doesn't even mention Friedman in their take.
More. I just wonder how many Chicagoans feel comfortable taking a Republican primary ballot. I would think that would impact Adam Andrzejewski's numbers, despite the Walesa hype.
