That is because he was running against TWO political machines: the Chicago Machine, and the Republican Party elites.

Mr McKinley, keep taking the message to the streets, to the people, when they finally hit rock bottom you need to be there with the light, never EVER give up!

This just goes to show how inept the state and National GOP is. If you aren’t picked by them you get zero support – a little effort in this deep blue district could have made a difference.

That’s why I will refuse to give the GOP a dime’s worth of support until they take a 50 state stance on supporting all candidates in elections.

Tea Party Time…….let’s rock and ROLL all the lefties and RINOS out.

Good for Mc Kinley. Now if we can just find a few more thousand like him to kill off the GOP establishment, we might have a great country with a great economy.

April 13th there will be a closed door ILGOP meeting where we are hoping Pat Brady will be removed as head of the party. He and the ILGOP leadership like him, are out of line with grass roots Republicans/the rank and file in Illinois. Their time is up, they just don’t know it yet, and are clawing to hang onto “so-called” power. It will take time to return the power to the people, but it will get done. Never give up, never surrender.

I sent him the donation the RNC asked me for.

That’s the way it’ll be from now on. NO money to the RNC. It goes directly to good candidates.

McKinley was the best candidate for this office by far. He spoke plainly, and he spoke truth. He would have truly represented the interests of the people of this district. He managed to wake some of the people up to realize that the Chicago machine does not, and has never represented their interests. They share issues and values in common with the tea party and grass roots conservatives. It’s just difficult for lifelong democrats to have to admit that truth to themselves after buying into the demonization of those groups for so long. I have faith that the truth will prevail more and more. They will not be looked down upon, but welcomed in solidarity of truth. It’s never too late to seek truth and do the right thing.

One more reason the RNC is having problems getting long time stawarts to contribute. Many of us send direct contributions to conservative candidates. We are tired of a “inner circle” of Rinos’ picking who will be a candidate. Good showing by Mr. McKinley, how much more could he have accomplished with major influx of money from the RNC?

Just spoke with my friend, Paul. He has a marathon runner’s heart. He is just as strong and determined, as he was two days ago. My question is, why the heck did he only get $10,000 worth of support from all of you? If even one million people sent in only five dollars, he would be on his way to Congress! Put your money where your mouths are. I’m Ex. Dir. of Dr. Alan Keyes’ initiative Operation Black Storm, and that’s exactly what we do- supporting Mia Love in the very beginning of her campaign, helping West, Scott, Cruz and Flores get elected, when the GOB GOP didn’t give a damn or dime. Paul’s a proud Frederick Douglass Republican and we will reclaim the party, whether they like it or not. Please visit uswww.frederickdouglassrepublica… or www.operationblackstorm.us/

I’m thankful he ran and hope he finds another way to serve. I, too, gave my money last election to the candidates of my choice.

Just give up on Illinois.

Campaign in a state that actually matters. Illinois is nothing more than a joke.

Mr. McKinley, if it helps, there are a lot of people in America who would have voted for you. A huge spit in the eye for the rotten eggs that are calling themselves RNC. That state RNC needs to be isolated from any money or help from the national party until they get off of their lazy cans and start helping and electing Republicans.
I hope Sarah Palin gets on this. She could do a great job in ushering in some needed changes to the way the that state RNC does its job. Or rather, doesn’t do its job.

No GOP support. OK, that proves it, he is most likely a conservative.
