Illinois Election Candidates

Carlos Said:

Parachute candidates.....?

We Answered:

In Canada, we have a provincial election in Ontario this fall. I live in a big three-country rural riding "Lambton, Kent, Middlesex".

I just met my riding's Conservative candidate Monte McNaughton, but he is not from my county (Kent) so he seems like a parachuted candidate from Middlesex.

With elections between competing lawyer candidates (paid liars), controlled by the richest 1% of the population, and decided by "hanging chads" and judges, birthplaces are hardly a big issue,

If elected, your "local" guy will move to the capitol city and live THERE any way. At least McNaughton is a business owner, not a lawyer.

Did you see the comedy film, by Canadian movie star Jim Carry, about a lawyer who couldn't lie??? It was called "Liar, liar"...and 99% of our elected officials are "mouthpieces" by trade, so what can we expect!!!

Patricia Said:

Vanessa Said:

Where can I go to read non-partisan descriptions of candidates and propositions in Illinois?

We Answered:

Generally to be honest I have to read about 6 sources for one issue to find a balance although the Washington post usually has good links and newbusters although newsbusters is going to give the right slant the links are VERY GOOD so you can get the facts – just like Factcheck is going to give you the Left slant again the links there are pretty decent. For Illinois though there are some good links I guess. But maybe start with these and oh yeah there is citizen link also that one is right leaning but still good
