There is only one party here and it’s The Combine.

Hey. Now that the RINOs have won, we have no conservative party. At least Harry Reid will never be majority leader again.

Think about it. The GOP won by being squishy, stupid, tone deaf, and anti-conservative. What should they do if they want to win more elections? The same thing that got them elected: being less bad then the Rats.

>> I thought it was a requirement that all Illinois governors report to federal prison after their term in office? <<

Yep. Give it time, Quinn will be indicted for something sooner or later. They should just save time by indicting Rauner at his swearing in.

>> I bet he isn't as far left as Mitt Romney <<

You bet wrong.

>> He’s liberal. People make a fuss about his party label. Rauner ain’t no conservative. <<

Worse, he's not even a Republican. He's a "close personal friend" of Rahm who has spent years bankrolling the most odious marxist Democrats who are destroying this country. Rauner is Illinois' answer to Michael Bloomberg -- some filthy rich leftist who came in and bought the GOP nomination because the Dem slot was taken, and spent millions to advertise himself as a saavy "outsider" private-sector businessman who would clean up government.

>> With guys like this - the Democrats have already won. It didn’t matter a heck that Pat Quinn lost. <<

Bingo. And even if we're wrong and Rauner turns out to be decent and actually tries to "stop" the Madigan machine (fat chance of that happening), it won't matter because the Dems have a veto proof majority and can run the government from the legislature. The only thing Rauner gets is the blame when Madigan's policies further destroy Illinois.

>> There is only one party here and it’s The Combine. <<

Yep you nailed it. And if Rauner weren't a Combiner, Quinn would be celebrating his re-election right now.

I preached it too. Same Old S###, different day.

No win sitch, I can’t say I’m sad that the ****ing gangster Quinn wasn’t able to steal it AGAIN, 101 of 102 counties hate his guts.

3 possibilities

1)Rauner is like the Queen of England and Madigan is the Prime Minster, if he can hold his people (not a cinch on everything, it was hard for them to pass queer marriage, they needed RINOs) the veto pen is useless and Mike runs the state.

2)Rauner actively participates in the continued rape of the state and further hurts the GOP brand in the state, but what could happen because of that besides him losing in 2018? We lose more seats in the state leg? Which ones? This isn’t MA, rats are pretty well maxed out. No?

3)Rauner is able to use the powers of office to do a small amount of good on a few issues

One possibility if Quinn was reelected, (which he wasn’t, nothing was fixed against Quinn, Quinn is less popular than dog shite. It’s disgusting he came this close, if Rauner can still beat him after his barrage of negative advertising then there was clearly no way he could win over anyone this time) the continued violent rape of everything good and decent in Illinois. What was the upside of keeping Quinn? Keeping Rauner out doesn’t seem like reason enough to me. 4 MORE years of Quinn would have primed the state to elect a conservative next time over the objection of the combine? I don’t see it.

The PRIMARY on the other hand was fixed for Rauner, with many conservatives kissing his ring including supposed “tea party” leaders. But OTOH the unions wanted Dillard and tried to steal the primary for him by having rats vote in it, I guess the combine loves Dillard even more (though he’s ostensibly a social conservative), I know Quinn loves Dillard. I voted for Brady by default.

If anyone really thought Quinn winning was appreciably a better outcome in the long term, they should have voted FOR him rather than for the unqualified Libertarian or writing in the Constitution party guy, no? If Rauner is that pernicious it makes sense. Eh, Pete?

Say Dillard had been nominated in 2010 which he almost was, and he was elected. What would be worse today? Lisa Madigan would be Governor with a supermaj rat leg? That’s different than Quinn with supermaj rat leg?

In summary, F all of them, especially Pat Quinn. I’m not saying “yay Rauner” by any means but I’m not gonna complain that Quinn lost, I just can’t. I want to beat him with a baseball bat. Some drooling retard party thug standing outside the polling place tried to tell me to vote for him.

I don’t know how to break the combine but just letting the rats win doesn’t seem to do the trick.

I’m jealous of Maryland and Ohio. Hogan seems decent compared to Rauner and Chaz Baker. And Kasich won g**damn Cuyahoga county.
