Republican Candidate in Illinois Defends Himself from Opponent’s Dirty Campaign with Web Documentary
ILLINOIS RIGHT OF WAY DAILY GIVES “A CONSERVATIVE IN CHICAGO” TWO THUMBS UP!
The comment on YouTube for William J. Kelly’s new web documentary, “A Conservative in Chicago” says it all:
Hollywood 7 writes: “You risk your life if you get between Kelly and a video camera.” After you watch the Kelly’s political journey before your very eyes in this video, you’ll know what Hollywood 7 is talking about. Kelly takes no prisoners and he has taken no prisoners for many long years – perhaps longer than any candidate claiming the Republican mantle in Illinois politics today. What struck us at Illinois Right of Way Daily is how much we didn’t know about Kelly and to what extent this candidate, this man has put himself on the line for what he believes. How many political candidates can actually say that and actually prove it? If you had any doubts left, watch this video and believe.
What has also been made very clear to Illinois Right of Way Daily is the extent that Kelly’s opponent, Jim Dodge, and Mr. Ibendahl and Mr. Roeser of the Champion News have been deceitful in their attacks against this conservative - something that they all claim to be. After watching “A Conservative in Chicago,” the staff of Illinois Right of Way Daily has doubts about their sincerity as conservatives. Kelly, speaking in his own words, about everything from his encounters with President Bill Clinton and Rep. Bobby Rush and how he was inspired by Ronald Reagan to go against the grain and go into the entertainment industry to promote conservative values, comes across as passionate and sincere. We also were unexpectedly surprised to see Rush Limbaugh defending Kelly’s activism from back in the 1990s. Cool. How many of us have someone of Limbaugh’s stature defending us?
This candidate is a stark contrast to the traditional stiff candidates we have seen so much of and it was extremely refreshing to see this level of candor and warmth. If only all candidates were capable of this, we would have more successes and fewer failures in Illinois and around the country.
At last look, Kelly’s opponents were still attacking him with the same tired old videos – videos that, if you watch “A Conservative in Chicago” you know that they are assembled pieces from Kelly’s award-winning TV shows. We agree with Kelly that this has been an unprecedented smear campaign – unprecedented in its meanness and that it has gone on for quite long enough in the dusty corners of shameful Illinois conservative infighting. Shameful and deceitful are the appropriate words here.
The Right of Illinois Daily hopes that more bloggers and journalists will pick up on this story and let the real truth about William J. Kelly, Jim Dodge, and Judy Baar Topinka be told.
If you are a blogger, we urge you to put this story in the spotlight it deserves.
