There is definitely a complacency in Illinois toward political corruption. It appears to be accepted as a way of life that I'd rather have my corrupt politician in office than for you to have your corrupt politician in office. Businesses continue to leave the state as the morons in Springfield raise taxes and feign bewilderment that anyone would want to leave. The smart ones leave because the dumb ones are too dumb to leave. Dumbness becomes concentrated. Under these circumstances, it makes sense for the people of Illinois to vote for the welfare king that will take from others to give to Illinois.

I gotta get outta this place, if its the last thing I ever do ...

You’re right. In that way its very much like all these middle east nations with dictators for life.

Me too! If my Grandchildren weren't here, I'd be gone already. I'm afraid Illinois is a lost cause for conservatives.

I live in IL and have never been ask, Obama, Mitt??? Don’t matter, we have young people whose parents have told them if they ever vote for a Republican they will be disowned. Just the way it is here in LALA land!!

If they have a “D” behind their name, they don’t get my vote, EVER!!
