Aaron Shock is some kid from a small district who is running for the first time to the House of Representatives. I will stand by my comment that Durbins speech was more harmful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9895345.post-43255393513673062672008-01-29T09:37:00.001-06:002008-01-29T09:37:00.001-06:00Truly...I'm on my way out the door.

I will say, though, that in keeping with Schock's "take it back" nonsense, the "it wasn't as bad as what Durbin said" is classic playground politics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9895345.post-58596693173772203712008-01-29T08:29:00.000-06:002008-01-29T08:29:00.000-06:00Nancy,I will give you that he screwed that one up ...Nancy,<BR/><BR/>I will give you that he screwed that one up big time. I think his inexperience showed through on that comment and it was wrong. Other than that though, what else has he done to mess up. I can tell you that his "comments" were less harmful and scandal free than Obama's interactions with Rezko.

He only "took back" his statements when virtually everyone was convinced he was a lunatic for saying them, even among his own party. His progression of excuses has been moderately entertaining, however and he's a master back-pedaler. Schock's young and ignorant, but he's also a little scary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9895345.post-47364568120484455962008-01-28T18:03:00.000-06:002008-01-28T18:03:00.000-06:00I am voting for Schock because he supports the con...I am voting for Schock because he supports the constitution; specifically, the 2nd amendment.<BR/><BR/>I do disagree with his promotion of ethanol but then again any congressman from Illinois supports ethanol even though it is bad for the environment and food markets. I really dont see anything too crazy about him. I think he is a young, aggressive, scandal free candidate. He did screw up with his comments about Taiwan but he took those back. I appreciate a congressman who can fix a mistake after they make it. After all ,no one is perfect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
