"Just about everybody in politics has something to hide. The higher they rise in the system, the more skeletons they have stuffed in their closets. And as we have all come to appreciate, this goes double — or perhaps even squared — for politicos who got their start in Chicago. And because the system no longer cares about our rights we can no longer focus solely on issues related to them, but must cast about more widely to ensnare and defeat the enemies of liberty."
