Chicago Tonight Forum With Oberweis and Foster

Please make certain every single voter in District 14 watches this video. This is a great example of a candidate illustrating his command of an issue and how it negatively affects us.

Watch it HERE.

Jim Oberweis crushed Congressman Foster in this forum. He had a clear command of the bailout issue and held his ground in a fashion we need from our representatives. Here are a few of the exchanges I found most interesting:

1) Foster admits the bailout bill was loaded with pork but "as a freshman Congressman" was not in a position to stand up and fight for the right bill. Basically, he let other Senators and Congressman hold he and the American taxpayers hostage while they pass their pork-laden bill. Nice work Congressman. Not only have you proved yourself to be a politician, but you have proved you are a weak one at that. Sorry, but I want someone to jealously and firmly represent my family's best interest "freshman" or not.

2) Foster admits the poor economy has not affected him. Well, isn't that nice for he and his family. Jim however, explained specifically how this economy has hurt the expansion of his own business and others like his due to banks severely tightening their belts. Congressman, since you seem to have no financial worries how about you take your own money and redistribute to those less fortunate versus taking more from me? Clearly you can afford it. Oh that's right. Democrats like to spend other people's money. Not their own.

3) Before you cite examples of technology growth in cities such as Lisle and Naperville maybe you should confirm they are actually in your district. I was not aware we annexed Naperville.

Please share with others and vote for Jim Oberweis. Maybe we can get Acorn to register Naperville residents to vote for Jim too ;)

Oberweis is at the wrong place at the wrong time. Can't fault him for trying, but I think the overall consensus is that he is unworthy of the public trust due to the perceived faults and failings of the Bush administration.

As warped and as twisted as that might sound, I don't think there's any other rationale to justify his loss.
