Young Illinois congressman the gop been pimping out
are they trying to position him to run for senate in 2010?

I believe his name is Aaron Schock. He has been getting too much face time on TV. I believe he was one of the ones being parodied on SNL.

Something smells fishy.

1. 'Youngest'. He went on AF1, invited by Obama, and proceeded
to bash him the next day. Sooo, I hope Obama's taking notes and doesn't invite him anywhere ever again.

2. Hope he gets "handled" Chicago style!
:mad:

He was talking nonsense, and didn't even make sense.

7. He was on Shuster
and looked very minor league. I can't understand why the gop is pimping him out like that when he clearly doesn't know what the hell he is talking about.

I believe Huffingtonpost readers voted him best looking congressman. He ain't all that, if you ask me.

11. Too easy.
"I can't understand why the gop is pimping him out like that when he clearly doesn't know what the hell he is talking about."

They are putting him out there because they clearly don't know what the hell they are talking about.

4. Yep
and I bet when it gets closer to the summer he will tone down his rhetoric. That's when campaigns start to really gearing up.

5. I suspect talking trash about the President in Illinois
is not a career helper. It might get him the nomination from the whack jobs, but all Barack's got to do is drop in and smile for photo ops with whoever the dems put up.

9. He Replaced Ray LaHood...Heavy Red District
He represents Peoria...the Illinois equivelent of Fresno. It's a heavily red district, even in a Blue state.

Looks like this kid is trying to endear himself into the GOOP leadership in a hurry...the next Opie Putnam or Goofy McHenry.
