br> Chicago, IL /p> p> As a conservative living in Illinois, (state mottoes: "Daley for Mayor Everywhere"; "Even the Dead Vote Here"), I would like to add to your article on Peter Fitzgerald. I hate to break it to his staff, but it's not true that "he's that popular." The rural/suburban areas voted overwhelmingly for Bush in 2000; the "blue" parts of the map were all Chicago-machine controlled areas. What we need is not another term with a moderate Republican, but an inspired and inspiring conservative. Peter Fitzgerald's record is appallingly poor on conservative issues such as guns and hunting rights, crime and taxes. The only thing I can agree with is that "he is practically invisible" on conservative issues and that he should at least have to deal with a Republican challenge in the primary. This state needs a conservative who will strongly challenge the machine politicians who are currently in charge. Unless we want Peter Fitzgerald, RINO, to be "the future of the party," we will need the help of the national Republican Party to succeed. br> -- Sally Haney br> Cary, IL /p> p> ON CLONE br> Re: George Neumayr's Stanford's Cult of the Stong : /p>
