1. They need a candidate first.
maybe that's why they're trying to get Nugent? He can write his own racist bullshit insults.

2. They can't even find an opponent to Obama!
I guess they will have to do that before the slander campaign begins! Nobody wants to run against him because they know they can't win.

What is happening in Illinois is beautiful. The republican party is self-imploding.

3. Illinois is a state full of recent immigrants
and children of recent immigrants. Making fun of "funny foreign names" just doesn't fly here. Ethnic-sounding names are not a drawback when running for office in Ilinois.

14. Unless, of course, you live downstate.
I've heard reports of a man (although he might have been in Indiana) doctoring a picture of Barack with a turban and writing "Osama" on it, then sticking it in his front yard.

Ah, can't find the link anymore. But you're right...the name's not going to hurt him.

9. Well, Obama can lock up the immgrant vote
by following the advice of another DU-er and simply inserting an aspostrophe after the "O"!
