Rauner will be riding a fine union-made Harley, I’m sure.

Harley was about to go under in the 80s until Reagan slapped a 45% tariff on all Japanese bikes over 700cc.

Now the Baby-Boomers are riding Harleys into the sunset.

Conversation starter at Republican Day.

All heard four and eight and 12 years….little impact then little now…Oh yeah how many helmets is Mitt Rauner wearing today? One for each position on min wage, taxes, unions, marriage equality?
Fire, Aim Ready!

Sitting here at the rally, came with relatives. Hey, at least the pork is good–I mean the BBQ sandwiches.
