If we increase taxes on poor people, perhaps that will drive them out of the state. I see that as a win win situation.

They ought to try to build Obama’s Library of Lies in Maryland. A solidly Democrat state, Maryland didn’t mind wasting $125 million dollars on failing to implement ObamaCare. I’m sure the state legislature won’t mind spending another $100 million plus to build a monument of lies for Obama in deepest, darkest Baltimore.

The whole thing is a gimmick meant to gin up Democratic voter turnout in November. The House Dems do not care if it passes or fails so long as it helps them score points with minority voters. The Illinois Democrats fear that they could lose several races this fall and they are trying all kinds of stunts to rev up their leftwing base. Another gimmick is a proposal to amend the Illinois Constitution to safeguard voting rights to avoid discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. When was the last time a polling place judge or a voting registrar asked for a person’s sex preference?

Four of Illinois' past seven governors have ended up in a federal Graybar Hotel....Rod Blagojevich (corruption), George Ryan (racketeering), Dan Walker (bank fraud) and Otto Kerner (bribery).

The upside is that at Illinois has always had good state's attorneys....and at least they indict, prosecute and imprison crooked governors. One reason is that there is quite a number of genuine watchdog and good-government groups around the state.....particularly in and around Chicago and Cook County.

All this is indicative of where and how community organizer Barack Obama learned his political trade, i.e., the ins-and-outs of hard-ball Democrat machine politics....except that his presidential corruption is smoother, more refined, more sophisticated, more hidden and more covered-up than that of the inept gubernatorial foursome that ended up in the slammer.

A Democrat-led House committee approved the money last week at an out-of-town hearing in Chicago with no Republicans in attendance. They instead relied on a procedural move that allowed them to use votes from a previous meeting.

Wow..no wonder Illinois politics are so screwed up...Vote from any location and use votes from another meeting...

Every single one of these dirt bags should be removed...
