They ARE in costumes… costumes of those pretending to care about “workers” and “taxpayers”

Well Norquist is pretty consistent in that when ever he says something is good, it ends up being bad, at least for most people.
Comment by The Dude Abides Tuesday, Jun 26, 18 @ 1:29 pm
Bruce wanted to wear one of his costumes but he can’t fool Norquist, Grover knows exactly who Bruce is.

What is a working definition of “truly unlikable?” Almost hoping Janus loses to see his face then….

A bit forced I know, but I don’t thinks its that terrible… Ok, I’ll leave.

By letting people get workplace representation for free? “Conservatives” talk a good accountability game but in reality they want free stuff.

This is a mercy meeting. A receipt justification meeting.

If this were a Mike Myers comedy film these two would be perfectly cast as a pair of stereotypical bumbling villains.
Too bad many worship them as modern gods.

Got to hand it to Bruce, his commitment to controlling his weight is admirable.
Comment by Stuntman Bob's Brother Tuesday, Jun 26, 18 @ 1:36 pm
I guess it is comforting top know that our Governor does own and will wear a tie when trying to impress the “movers and shakers”. Guessing those of us downstate will have to endure his costumes.

Maybe someone should tell Grov(el)er that under Rauner’s watch, Illinois had the biggest permanent tax increase - over 60%.

I hope JB wins, because the thought of the group thinkers here becoming more unglued is frightening.

More open to the man hug away from the parade I guess…

Rauner embraces the author of the Norquist pledge. (Authored the Grover Norquist, “The Taxpayer Protection pledge” commits legislators who sign it to never raise taxes in any form.)

Grover Norquist is one of the most powerful men in America…Why?
For whom does Norquist work…I often wonder?

Hey, Grover, I tried to reduce the size of the Illinois government so I could drown it in the bathtub, but Madigan is a strong swimmer.

Grover is referring to the upkeep of Bruce’s nine homes…in addition to the banking system of the Cayman Islands.

An anti-union zealot who has led the charge for trickle-down economics and who wants to take away basic rights for workers. Also, Grover Norquist.
