US Senator Peter Fitzgerald and the Illinois Republican Party

One of the finest US Senators to EVER come out of Illinois got the shaft from his own party. Why? He represented the finest qualities of a Republican Senator. Honest, a man of integrity, fiscally and socially conservative, a real stand-up guy? So why did the Illinios Republican Party seek to destroy their own incumbent Senator and prevent him from running for a second term? This short tribute to Senator Peter Fitzgerald demonstrates the depths of corruption that our own Illinois Republican Party had descended too. As a result of coming against Peter Fitzgerald, we ended up with a new guy, his name was Barrack Obama. Thanks IRP.

Pardon me for saying, but Hastard should drop the "H" from the beginning and add a "B" in its place. Just looking at his picture, he looks like a Fat Bast... well, you know.

[weneedmccain]

Word is, Ethan Hastert is going to attempt to win the 14th District.

Yeah, like we all need another Hastert who came out of politics a multi-millionaire and spent like a Dem.

Say NO to ETHAN HASTERT!

Didn't SB600 pass? I told you before that I think Andy McKenna is a nice man, but if he did this we need to get him out.

[weneedmccain]

Hi John, Yes SB600 passed in the Senate. It now moves to the House where Tom Cross and Skip Saviano are already doing everything they can to block it,.

In 2005, it passed unanimously in the Senate but was shot down in the Senate, so this is far from over.

And yes, Andy McKenna was the Illinois Republican candidate that was going to run against Fitzgerald. Judy Barr Topinka was the Republican Chairman at the time.

Image means nothing in politics, look at Hastert.

Fitzgerald was the last IL Senator I had respect for. Also one of the few IL politicians I had respect for.

Our rotten corrupt government makes it imposible for good men like Fitzgerald to stay in office. This man should be persuaded to run again. Our rotten corrupt media should protect this kind of leader and help root out corruption, but they are part of the problem. Mr. Fitzgerald was definitely the only politician in IL. that was honest, and maybe one of the few in congress. Can he be coerced into running for office again? Maybe POTUS? Our country needs him

If I may say so, it seems that Peter Fitzgerald was not only one of the best senators Illinois ever had, I think he was one of the best in our entire country.

You are 110% right my friend, the GOP needs to turn things around and run more people like Fitzgerald.

[IowaSea]

Im a life long democrat who was stunned at the honesty of Peter Fitzgerald. Just stunned.

This guy got in office totally believing the GOP were upright, honest, public servants. He soon found out things weren't right.

He spoke the truth - he said the his own party were "pigs at the trough". Why? Cause he saw it on the inside. For that-- he was quickly shoved out the door.

Bring this guy back. We all need honesty in government like his.

hes a inspiration

[weneedmccain]

After what he experienced by the Illinois Republican Party, he wants no part of politics. Can hardly blame him.

[JohnRhysMusician]

Too bad he resides in Virginia and he is the CEO of a large bank.

[CubsFanJohn]

Peter Fitzgerald one of the greatest Republicans of all time in Illinois. He needs to come back NOW!
