Illinois
"A State with No Republicans!"
Some interesting data on the 'state' of, the State of Illinois ... There are more people on welfare in Illinois than there are people working. Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S. . Their average pay is $110,000/year. Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. Wow, are Illinois and Chicago great or what? Be sure to read till the end. I've never heard it explained better. Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago ?
Body count: In the last six months, 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago .. 221 killed in Iraq ; AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.
Here's the Chicago chain of command:
President: Barack Hussein Obama ; Senator: Dick Durbin House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr. Governor: Pat Quinn House leader: Mike Madigan Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike) Mayor: Rahm Emanuel The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats.
Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago . Of course, they're all blaming each other. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! ;
Let us get ALL the facts out while we are at it:
Chicago school syCan't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois . And he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us?
George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in prison
He was replaced by Rob Blagojevich who is, by the way, also in prison. stem rated one of the worst in the country. And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned, .. and, that's right, he and his wife are both in prison.
The Land of Lincoln , where our Governors and Representatives make our license plates. What?
As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go bankrupt before the country does.
"Anybody who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian.
Dont forget Detroit , another great example of a Democratic empire

Worth repeating.
What dipstick wrote this? Take a look at the red/blue map of the last two elections in Illinois.
Loser.

Ain’t Marxism grand.
Just because your a republican doesn’t mean you are a republican..
Many democrats cross dress as republicans..
They are Transdemocrats..
Well, yeah. Combat pay.
Also, we just elected a fake Republican governor, so that when the decades-long pension theft is made official, the Combine can blame the Republicans.
Rauner was a Democratic donor who started Rahm in the private sector at a level appropriate to the overlord class, so that he could make a few tens of millions before getting back to ruling peasants.
Here in Illinois we call it The Combine.
Yeh. Outside of Cook county things are very different.
I’m sure there is a cell in the State Pen with his name on it, along with all of the other ex-Governors.
Yes a Republican governor.
Good trend.
Will be interesting to see if MooseChelle Obama runs for Senate there in 2016. Of course she’ll have huge money and the full efforts of the Chicago mob.
This is stupid.
Yes, the Democrats have legislative majorities in Illinois. but at the present time:
Illinois has one Republican in the US Senate (Kirk);
The incoming US House delegation will include 8 Republicans as opposed to 10 Democrats;
There are currently two Republicans holding statewide office (Treasurer and Comptroller);
In January, there will be two Republicans holding statewide office (Governor and Comptroller).
Yes, it is bad, but not as awful as the post describes.
Look outside of Chicago and Cook County and Illinois is pretty darn conservative.
They sure are.
“Look outside of Chicago and Cook County and Illinois is pretty darn conservative.”
Look outside of the urban areas and the United States is pretty darn conservative.
This is pretty old - it’s been circulating in email boxes for a number of years now.... Check out Jesse Jackson, Jr. as a U.S. Representative - he’s been in prison how many years now?
2014
Yep.
Republicans are pushing Chicago to greater and greater gun freedom.
Republicans have considerable control of Detroit right now from the state level and are driving major changes in that city too.
Some people just prefer their whipping boys to success.
For instance, suppose the state of Buckafornia has 30 counties. For an instate election, give each county one electoral vote to cast for Governor. 10 blue counties have a majority vote for the Governor, and 20 red counties have a majority vote. Red wins, hence, a Republican Governor.
Then, suppose Buckafornia has 30 Electoral College votes for the national election. Instead of awarding all 30 votes based on majority vote (called cheating in blue counties), the State will award 20 electoral votes to the Republican candidate, and 10 electoral votes to the Democrat candidate.
If enough states did this, the Democrat party would be finished.
