The dem actually says he never wants to be wealthy. Can we cross off healthy and wise from the list, too?

Maybe we should encourage kids to be winos. Oh, we already are.

Hammering it all home, a new, black-tuxedoed and top-hatted character debuted, dubbed “Baron Von Moneybags,” patterned after the Monopoly character, Milburn Pennybags. The satirical likeness allied with Gov. Pat Quinn waved a sign that read “.01%ers for Rauner!”

When you let a pro-abort buy the nomination, this is what you set yourself up for.

People now believe that wealth would automatically accrue to them if some other wealthy SOB was not holding them back.

It doesn’t even occur to them that value is created, and their personal compensation might in some way depend upon their personal productivity.

Maybe the fair should charge admittance based on what you make and see what regular Joes think of that.

I’ve read that Quinn may well lose.

If by some miracle we could rip Illinois out of the “blue wall” in 2016, a Republican could get elected POTUS.

I probably need to get back to my normal cynicism....

Of course, the Illinois ruling class GOP itself lacks any sense of humor and any sense of showmanship. They are basically scared spineless little rabbits who think of Nancyboy Kirk as a star because the Chicago Machine allowed his election.

Bruce Rauner, whatever his social issue liabilities, is not the typical Illinois GOP incompetent. For one thing, he probably has the best ad men in the political game. He should pick up on this Demonrat tactic everywhere and not just at the State Fair.

The late great WLS Chicago radio host Don Wade labeled Quinn as a liar by calling him Quinnochio. Hired folks dressed as Pinocchio and labeled Quinnochio, complete with the standard Pinnochio costume, a Quinn face, and a four foot long nose made of light wood should show up at every Demonrat rally and wear a sign that says Quinnochio. Now, if the faux Quinnochios are really talented, wire them for sound and have them ballyhoo Quinnochio's lies, one by one by one by one.....

The obvious difference is that Quinn IS Quinnochio and the Demonrat Baron von Moneybags is pure fiction. It would take dimwit Quinnochio ten years to understand the business decisions Rauner makes in any one morning.

How bad is Quinnochio? Not only did he play second fiddle to Rod Elvis Blagojevich, Quinnochio looks like he will lose ILLINOIS to a REPUBLICAN! Historic, really!
