Lerner used her FEC govt position and tax dollars to conduct a bogus inquisition into Durbin's opponent for alleged election law violations ....creating a shady charge against Durbin's opponent. And it worked. Dicky triumphed and was returned to the Senate.
=============================================
Fast forward to 2014---Dicky Durbin's running again---considered a shoo-in. But he should start worrying. As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, candidate Obama advanced his signature plan that was ultimately enacted (by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote) into the "Affordable Care Act:
QUOTING OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if youve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All Im going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. Youll still have choice of doctor.
Repeated over and over ---- with the "presidential promise" that every American would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.
SEN. RICHARD DURBIN SALUTES SMARTLY: We Democrats believe and we stand by this if you like your current health insurance plan, you will be able to keep it, plain and simple, straightforward. (Sen. Durbin, Congressional Record, S.6401, 6/10/09)
VOTERS HAVE NOT SEEN SUCH LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY SINCE 1930-40's ERA EUROPE

SEN DURBIN AND IMMIGRATION REFORM Back in June, Durbin whined that a year has passed since he and his fellow Democrats Senators passed a sweeping immigration reform bill (that included hundreds of millions of dollars for La Raza, and made latino office-holders exempt from US laws for committing crimes in office). Durbin said. "And (if Republicans don't respond), the president will borrow the power that is needed to solve the problems of immigration."
And this week, Durbin said: "More Needs To Be Done To Help Child Immigrants at the border"

Sen Durbin addressed thousands during the Peoples Mass at Fiesta Del Sol in honor of Dreamers, immigrants and the 47,000 Central American children invading the US ---being held at detention centers. Durbin assured the Illinois Latino community they will not turn their backs on children who are fleeing a dangerous situation.
We are here today at Fiesta Del Sol. This is a Mass dedicated to the dreamers. The action that was taken by the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday was reprehensible. This idea of calling for the deportation of these young men and women is cruel, Durbin said.
Durbin says more should be done to help children crossing the border into the U.S. on their own. These are young men and women who have come to the United States not by their own choice, who have lived here, they have lived in the United States and now they are asking for a chance to prove themselves.
Mr. Durbin seems to be more interested in helping people in committing illegal acts than he does to help legitimate businesses in the state of Illinois. He wouldn’t last long in a fair,honest election,if one could be found in that stae.
