I thought someone by now would comment on the Blagovich speech at the new shooting complex in Sparta. |

The ISRA put this out Link to Article "I expect that the governor's neck may soon be in traction," says ISRA-PVF spokesman, Richard Pearson. "He's been switching faces so fast and furious this week, something just has to give." Pearson's comments come at the end of a week when Gov. Blagojevich toured the state -- flip-flopping his way from one campaign stop to the next. On July 4th, Blagojevich was deep in Republican territory -- parading in suburban Downers Grove. On Thursday, he was way down south in Sparta, cutting the ribbon to a new, multimillion dollar state owned rifle range. This coming Saturday, Blagojevich will be in the friendly confines of Chicago's Mart Plaza to talk gun control with the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP). No matter where he stops along the way, the governor is quick to flash his Cheshire cat grin and reach deep into his pocketful of promises. "It's amazing to me how Rod Blagojevich can stand and unabashedly tell one group of citizens one thing then, in the wink of an eye, tell another group something 180 degrees off beam," continued Pearson. "Recall that, during the Sparta range's ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, Blagojevich called the shooting sports '...part of the American fabric.' That characterization notwithstanding, we will certainly hear a different Rod Blagojevich when he addresses the FOP on Saturday." "Sources close to the governor hint that he will use the FOP convention as a platform to champion more gun control schemes -- including House Bill 2414. Interestingly enough, HB2414 would ban and force confiscation of the very rifles that would serve as the mainstay of shooting activities at the Sparta range." "But, none of this should come as any surprise," concluded Pearson. "Blagojevich has become well known for playing the role of Charlton Heston when campaigning south of I-80. Then, once he crosses into Cook County, he's a dead ringer for Sarah Brady." Concealed Carry for Illinois The link below has more about what Blago had to say in Sparta. Link to Article |
