  1. Good! Sang. is a RINO through and through. Mark Kirk backs her!

  2. We need more pro-life, second amendment tax-fighters to continue and solidify the legacy of my sunshine blogger. You know, he is already 184 years old and will not be around forever. Stay tuned…tic, tock, tic, tock, tic, tock, meeeeeeoooooooowwwwwwwwwwww…

  3. Thank you Jenanne Ives; the 6th District needs a Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Pro-Family, Pro-Military, conservative in the race!

    May the best woman win in the primary and general election!

  4. Former Lieutenant Governor, Evelyn Sanguinetti has been in Crystal Lake twice in under 39 hours.

    Tuesday evening at the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce’s after-hours mixer at the Comfort Inn and then again at 7:30 AM on Thursday morning at WiM3 meeting, where she gave a speech to McHenry County business women and shared her “Personnel Story”, encouraging all the business women in the room to get involved in making a difference by running for political office and not allowing circumstances determine your life, your destination or your influence in life.

    In my estimation, she is a dynamic woman who has risen from the streets of poverty and despair to become the 1st Latina Lieutenant Governor in the United States of America.

    And the epitome of the American Success Story.

    Evelyn has said nothing negative to me about Ives.

    She did, I believe, share one of Ives’s main drivers and I was impressed by what was shared to me about Ives.

    I believe Jeanine was a part of our losing the Governor’s office. I, like her, am pro-life, but I’m also about saving Illinois from the financial ruin of generations of politicians avoiding the financial responsibility required, or in reality-avoided, of them.
    It is incumbent upon both, and or any candidates to avoid the blood letting and bitter contentions of winning the nomination be the venue they choose to return our district to the conservative values that should run our county, state and country. To win at all costs, is to lose at great costs.

  5. Re: “I believe Jeanine was a part of our losing the Governor’s office. ”

    The author of this statement may want to consider that Rauner went negative on Ives and because Ives did not win, he LOST Illinois for all Republicans as he was responsible for deviating from the Republican platform by signing the Sanctuary State Legislation, abandoning the cause of Right to Life etc. and running a lackluster campaign.

    Rauner, the millionaire, was simply outspent by the billionaire and lost the GOP base and caused many GOP voters to sit out the election.

    Rauner ruined the State GOP by throwing around gobs of money with no real plan for the future.

    Just because you can speak Spanish does not make anyone a winning candidate.

    Sanguinetti will need to distance herself from Rauner to win the primary but I would not be surprised to see Rauner money in her campaign fund.

  6. Pletz, Please, wake up and smell the coffee.

    Sanguinetti is pure poison.

    Didn’t Rauner give her the chance to take over?

    She is a Rino.

    Her kind destroyed the GOP in Illinois and turned it into a super minority.

    You don’t help a poison victim by pouring more poison down his or her throat.

    Ives all the way.

  7. Glad to see Jeannie Ives in the Dist. 14 race!

    Sanguinetti could have helped Rauner but she is just like him! Spineless and no guts!

    Rauner lost because of who he is!

    Ives will fight as someone could tell when she ran for governor.

    She knows facts and is not some talking point candidate.

    What has divided the GOP is not people like Ives but people like Sanguinetti and Rauner!

  8. Ives is the one.

    Sanguinetti can’t run.

    Ives got what it takes

    Evelyn S. Is one of the flakes.

  9. @Pletz “I believe Jeanine was a part of our losing the Governor’s office.

    Are those your words or Sanguinetti?

    Rauner won the primary by winning at all costs with lies!

    Ives exposed Rauner for what he was/is and that is a Democrat!

    Rauner lost his base and never had a chance once he did that.

    He tried to win at all costs by making Illinois a Sanctuary State and Pro-Abortion State!

    He was the one that tried to win at all costs.

    Ives has never brought nothing but facts to the table.

    No hyperbole, no sound bites, no gimmicks.

    Just a straight forward, honest, factual, and good person!

    How is that bringing down the GOP?

    It is nothing more than a weak argument of why Illinois is the way it is now!

  10. Sanguinetti is barely tolerated, TOAST while Ives is beloved!

    No one is looking for an energetic bi-lingual RINO accept other RINOs.

    IL is need of brains, honor, great policy and guts!

    ‘‘Tis Ives that has it!

  11. ‘Again’, Ives isn’t jumping in the race of umpteen to unseatUnderwood.

    She’s running to beat Sean Casten in the 6th.

    Sanguinetti should step aside.

    Her comment ‘I think Ives has something to do with why we lost the Gov’s race’ was probably what prompted Ives to jump in and say ‘ya think????’

    Sanguinetti ‘s idiotic comments just helped topple her own campaign.

  12. I met a filthy RINO beggar on my way to St. Ives.

    Her name was Sanguinetti and she had six sacks of rats with her!

  13. The Jeanneite Goon Squad is alive and well here.

    Lets be real clear here to those who think
    Jeanne can win…

    She can’t.

    With her big mouth
    and that Obnoxious campaign commercial Jeanne put up
    which poisoned the lake for all Republicans.

    She is DOA.

    The best Jeanne can do in the general
    election is less then 35%.

    Also, she hammering on Rauner, even after the primary, to the extent
    of privately telling her followers to vote for JB.

    She is
    a bitter sore loser and a disloyal republican.

    (In contrast to her so called Honor Code).

    I consider Jeanne a demagogue, with screaming
    complaints and did nothing to make changes.
