— Blame
(DIERSEN: Who blames you and for what? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes blame me for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I should write a book about them. Better yet, I should sue them. I would focus on past and present leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, GAO, IRS, Post Office, etc. I would focus on unsuccessful Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct 2000, their major donors, their political consultants, their fundraisers, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers. I would focus on those who I have sued.)
