When you’re slinging half-truth arrows and peddling bluster you’re bound to gloss over small details like this.
Sheesh…

Ooops……The laughter continues!

OMG! Brought to by… the Superstars! LOL

LOL, this crowd is about as thorough in their preparation as they are sticking to the facts.
Comment by The Dude Abides Friday, Aug 21, 15 @ 12:24 pm
Probably just a teeny-tiny oversight…
Move along.

Nitwits troll themselves.

David From is (or at least should be) better than this. Either he’s on vacation or he’s decided to let his dog act as editor.

Nice work superstars!
Cost of mailing: Several thousand dollars
Governor’s net worth: millions of dollars
Proofreading before print: priceless

They apparently cut the wages of the people who prepare these….
If they cut wages the tax coming in will go down, and less money will be spent locally…. So rauners proposals to save tax dollats will hurt the economy and local business

Not very prosperous

It looks like Rauner isn’t getting the best money can buy after all.

Eh, Brandon, Bradley, who’s gonna notice?

People in southern Illinois love when people that don’t know where southern Illinois is…tell them how to vote.

When your policies are held with a religious conviction, it doesn’t matter what the facts are.

Alex, I’ll take downstate Democrats for $200.
Comment by Because I said so... Friday, Aug 21, 15 @ 12:55 pm
All those Southern Illinois folks look alike. /s/
Comment by Demoralized Friday, Aug 21, 15 @ 12:55 pm
Nothing like local knowledge.
Comment by walker Friday, Aug 21, 15 @ 1:16 pm
FWIW,
The Governor’s “superstars” don’t work for AFP…….
…clearly there are some folks here who think they “get it,” but just.. don’t.

This reminds me of when I was working against an ant-tax initiative in Nebraska years ago. The billionaire geniuses behind the initiative ran tv ads with alleged farmers speaking against a backdrop of fields and stone fences. Only thing was … they don’t have stone fences between fields in Nebraska. Turns out the ad was shot in Virginia. Initiative lost overwhelmingly.

What, they are both white, southern guys. They all look alike. . . .
Comment by Todd Friday, Aug 21, 15 @ 1:27 pm
If this is the best the opposition can do, I’m fairly certain that the voters in Southern Illinois
will see through this and do the right thing. That is not to say that any of the elected officials are above reproach or legitimate criticism for their positions - including Brandon, who was thrown into this mess.
It is amazing what you can do with $20 million in your campaign fund!

The Speaker’s issue staff got an early Christmas present! Amateur night on the 2nd floor

Clear evidence of a lack of coordination, that would be illegal.
Comment by walker Friday, Aug 21, 15 @ 2:05 pm
That does look like Brandon.
Comment by Keyser Soze Friday, Aug 21, 15 @ 2:08 pm
I got the same one with John Cullerton and Sara Feigenholtz. Do these jokers realize:
A- I vote for those two on a regular basis
B- I know who they are
C- Wasting their $$$
D- Don’t agree with them
E- I don’t like Rauner
F- Keep on wasting your $$$

RPM- I live in Chicago and get these mailers all the time too.
Who reads this drivel in a non election year?

Where’s the union bug?

There’s big money to be made off these national nincompoop PACS, if you have no self-respect.
