Will he get me a good no-budget deal on a Schock trade-in.

If he’playing up on the state government angle, can I get the car, promise to pay and then tell him that a crisis forces me to reduce my payments to ensure that I can buy the gas to make it run.

I wonder if they’ll take an IOU.

“Try our elected official package: Zero percent financing. Zero Down. Zero Payments.”

Well he does not have Schock to whisk around anymore so he needs something to fill the day

Borrowed interest in advertising is best avoided.

Anyone can do it, and it doesn’t distinguish you in any way from your competitors.

“I can’t see how we can afford it right now…”
“Okay — but what if you just stopped paying for child care?”

Probably needs to sell a few cars to pay for his legal troubles.

I would like to add: Gee..I’m sure you will understand I can’t pay you for the car because our governor hates unions.

Why?…Because we are all in this together.

Pretty narrow target he’s going after with that message.

Everyone should “get it”. Too few will.

Norseman with the score!!

Just noticed Norseman had a couple of comments, but the pension comparison excuse is hilarious!

By the way if you are in central Illinois and not liking Republican right now, remember there is an election on Tuesday.

I had to laugh when I saw the mailer today that said after LABOR DAY remember to vote for Darren La Hood. Given his love of Rauner, he would be the last person I would vote for after Labor Day.

A J, If there’s only one race on the ballot, you’re desire to vote for the last person could be fulfilled. Just a thought. lol

I think I will go over and “buy” a car and then go to court and have a judge put a temporary restraining order on the payments.

“And if you go on strike we’ll suspend payments until you get a contract”..
