Yeah I'm in Obama's home state and it's the same situation. Our RAT governor got elected in 2002 on a platform to end "buisness as usual" and "reform" Illinois, and he's run this state into the ground. He currently has a 13% approval rating. Our RAT legislature is even worse. And what do people do? They keep re-electing these socialists, and they give Obama a promotion after he's done absolutely NOTHING to "change" the corrupt political climate in Illinois.
I swear Illinois voters are idiots and deserve these politicians. They know these Chicago politicians are corrupt thugs and they don't care. No matter how bad it's gotten over the last six years, they support Chicago socialism having total control over Illinois. I've about had it with politics here. The socialists win no matter what happens.
That's why I'm not optimistic that we can turn things around in 2010 and 2012 due to backlash from Obama, Pelosi, and Reid wreaking America. They'll just saying that they're still trying to "fix" things after 8 years of Bush and you can't expect change overnite. And voters will believe them and give marxism another chance.
I really fear for the future of this country.
I know. Michigan has proven that even when things go totally downhill and businesses leave left and right due to tax hikes and and unfriendly atmosphere for business, people still don’t see the connection. They just want more government programs. Just the immediate results of Marxism won’t make the difference for 2010 or 2012. It would have to be a major terrorist attack or a similar drastic event. At this point, I’m going back to the self-reliance skills I learned when I was an aspiring hippie in my twenties.
