“Rauner … thanking IL republicans “for your patronage,”…”

That was no Freudian slip. It’s what he thinks and how he controls the party.

“No, thank YOU for your purchases, Governor.”

What the Minority Leader meant to say is that Dury and company helped you with stopping 66 overrides. The ground game is going to take the money and dump the literature in the recyable bin.

With all of the elected officials at the fair this week, I can’t help but think we’re missing out on an outstanding opportunity for a Dunk Tank fundraiser.

I’ve seen eyes like that picture of Rauner on sci fi tv shows. Just before the death rays fire.

“Congressmen Davis: “Illinois is the envy of the country. We see growth.”

Senator McCarter & his Common Sense Caucus differ with Davis on this point….and voting for John Shimkus.

Leader Durkin: “After eighteen months we have not crumbled. We are a united caucus!”

Yes, we are all united in fear of or in lust for Rauner’s campaign money./s

These two tweets (1, 2) quote speakers who lack any self awareness. An almost mind boggling lack of self awareness.

What is he smoking?

Davis is living in a fantasy land. Illinois is a subject of national embarrassment. No State budget, vendors not getting paid, CPS on the verge of financial insolvency (plus a CTU strike), City of Chicago in serious debt/deficit, state of IL AFSCME on the verge of strike, economic growth consistently under-performing, Rauner trying to make reforms…unsuccessfully. Total mess.

Go Bears.

“State taken over by machine that only cares about power”

Well if the State would pay it’s electric bills, we wouldn’t have to worry about not having any power.

I like the picture of the girl standing in the empty space, with 3 rows of chairs separating her from the governor.

What A Huge Crowd!!! LOL….

“Let’s go kick tails, ladies and gentlemen,” Rauner ends.”

It’s about to get real up in here!

I bid dos centavos for the GOP bull. Spare me the weight in my pocket.
