John Arrington—Illinois U.S. Senate candidate


News Update: Unless you have been living in a cave for the last 24 hours, you should know that Scott Brown did what was thought to be impossible. He won the special U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts Tuesday. Watching the 10 PM news Monday night, I knew he would win. The news segment about the race had Barack Hussein Obama campaigning Sunday for the Democratic candidate—what was her name? The segment for Scott Brown had Curt Schilling—ace pitcher for the Boston Red Sox when they won the World Series—campaigning for him. Curt was saying that the Democratic candidate—what was her name—claimed he was a New York Yankee fan. He then said, “I’m not a Yankee fan!” And the crowd roared. Even though I knew Scott Brown would win, I was praying throughout the day for his victory. Thank you LORD!!!

Now, my question is: Do you think the Democrats in Congress will finally get the message? WE DO NOT WANT NATIONALIZED HEALTHCARE!!! Or will they continue to be stiff-necked believing that they know best what is best for the American people?

Tonight’s regularly schedule post:

Earlier during this primary season, I mailed questionnaires to all Illinois candidates for Governor and the U.S. Senate—Democrats, Republicans and Green Party. I am posting the original questions and the answer given with any comments provided by each candidate. Each question asked for a response that strongly agreed, agreed, was undecided, disagreed or strongly disagreed. To save space and time, I am only posting the answer—not all five choices—for each question. I am posting the responses and comments by the candidates without any comment from me.

The second questionnaire from the various Senate candidates that I received was from John Arrington. I am posting the questions and his answers tonight.
