Phil Hare Doesn't Care About YouTube Questions




The first screen shot was taken at 4:39pm on 08Sept2010, shortly after I asked what I feel is a relavent question on the Friends of Phil Hare YouTube page. I guess they're not going to answer me. The second screen shot was taken at 5:02am on 09Sept2010 and shows that instead of answering my question, Phil's "friends" deleted it. Personally, I think if Phil and his "friends" are going to go to the trouble and (special interest campaign contribution) expense of making a commercial, they should at least want to defend it and clarify their points.
On the Friends of Phil Hare website, a welcome letter is posted from the big boy. The last sentence of the letter reads: "Please do not hesitate to contact me." I call Bullshit.

Phil HareTV



Phil "I Don't Care" Hare's campaign recently began running the above ad. Watch the ad, then see if you find it strange that an incumbent representative would seriously run an ad - against a new to politics challenger - that blames folks in Washington, DC for all of the job losses. Gee, Phil, if the current people and laws in Washington are the problem - which, according to you, they are - shouldn't we vote their fat, constitution hating asses out? And if Phil Hare is committed to saving jobs in Illinois and the US, what happened to the suit company that he personally vowed to save?

Never Let A Political Opportunity Go To Waste

"If Mayor Daley doesn't (run), one day I would like to run for mayor of the city of Chicago. That's always been an aspiration of mine even when I was in the House of Representatives." -Rahm Emanuel

Political aspiration, including those seeking to make careers of elected office, are a huge part of what is wrong with our current political climate. Gone are the days of citizens getting elected, going to serve, and returning to their businesses, jobs, and communities. Instead, we have guys like Rahm who aspire to make a living and a fortune as an elected or appointed political figure. The problem with lifers is that if they have no desire to return to life as a normal citizen, they quickly lose touch with what normal citizens really want, need, and desire in life. The only thing they care about is what it takes to stay in power, get re-elected, and cling to their position of power.

By his own admission, being mayor of Chicago is Rahm's own personal aspiration and desire. How can a guy be in politics for the right reasons when his goal is simply to be king of Chicago? If his heart was in the right place, he could have said that he wanted to be mayor to bring about some great changes in Chicago (that line worked for his boss), he thought it was too excessively corrupt and he was the right guy to clean it up, or something else that showed interest and concern for more than one resident of Chicago.

Dear Editor:

Trust is the life blood of successful business and government interactions. Theft and deceptive language indicate low character and they murder trust.

The Feds had a moral and fiduciary responsibility to protect and grow the Social Security Trust Fund. Instead, for decades politicians have looted it and spent it on non-social security items. The Trust Fund contains IOU’s to be repaid with interest by future generations including our grandkids, a repugnant fact. Any bank mishandling funds would land people in prison. This is the crime of the century, yet no felony charges. It is another reason why I do not trust them with my family’s healthcare.

You could fill a book with deceptive political statements. They refer to earmarks, but a more informative title would be vote purchases. The Stimulus should have been called the Grow Government Bill. Comprehensive Imigration Reform is actually the Voter Rights Bill for Illegal Alliens. The Card Check Bill masks the fact that it bands the secret ballot for union workers. Since political correctness is an assault on our first amendment, it should be called anti-free speech norms. The Cap and Trade Bill reveals little about it’s nature. It is actually the “ New Tax on Everything Made or Moving”.

Many voters are easilly deceived by such language, resulting in uninformed voters returning dishonest and deceitful politicians to office. Since they work for us, we deserve the raw unmasked truth just like any employer demands so good decisions can be made. Honesty is so critical to efficient and effective government, that deceptive communications and mishandling our money should result in felony prison time. That is a better alternative to term limits, and another reason to keep the GITMO prison open.

They Caught Me Hauling Ass

There's a Quincy officer behind the OLCC writing tickets on a state grant. If Illinois is too broke to fund schools, why are we paying city officers to write tickets in Quincy? That money doesn't go back to the state?
