Bost rant on House floor goes viral (IL state house)
The Southern ^ | 5/30/12 | Staff

Posted on 05/30/2012 8:34:26 AM PDT by AT7Saluki

Bost, R-Murphysboro, angry over a Democrat-led, last-minute plan to overhaul state pensions, launched into a screaming tirade, irate over expectations that lawmakers accept the bill without time to read it over thoroughly.

"These damn bills that come out of here all the damn time, come out out here at the last second," Bost raged, tossing papers in all directions as he spoke.

Bost leveled his anger toward House Speaker Mike Madigan, a Democrat, saying legislators are constantly giving him sole power what does and doesn't happen in Springfield.

Hilarious and maddening all at the same time. Feel sorry for all the down-staters forced to live by Cook County elections.

You needn’t feel sorry for the down-staters. With Bost leading the charge, things will be changing.

What, no apology yet? Usually, by the time I read these things, the outraged Pubbie has already kissed the feet of Democrats and apologized.

It’s interesting to note that this is getting national attention. I like that he’s clear in calling out Madigan’s name. Good to shine some light on the scum.

That’s right, NO more apologies. Mitt did the right thing in refusing to repudiate Trump. Stand by your words.

Did you read the comments at the source? They’re blaming it all on Republicans and saying Bost is only complaining because he’s up for re-election.

We need this happening everywhere the Commie Dems try to stop the people from having a voice. We have to get angry and create a scene. The tyrants need to be called out with anger!

IL is a failed state. Why no one points out that Obama is still part of the machine that destroyed IL..IL with a tremendous potential of agriculture, trade and industry. Now broke and in the hands of a cynical corrupt RAT party.

It is perplexing to watch people continue to consume the poison they know is killing them. Maybe they think they're fighting fire with fire or maybe they're just plain stupid. In any case, it's frustrating because it's like watching slow train wreck; you're waving your arms and telling the engineer what's ahead....you're even showing him pictures but he just shakes his head and moves the throttle forward.

So let your speech be Yea, yea or Nay nay for to say more is of the devil.

Mean what you say and say what you mean and stand by it. It stands for what you believe.

Not because of Bost but because of “other” getting 40% against the POT-head obablaloon and because of Reyes losing and because of Cruz giving that fake Dewhurst a run for his money... I am cautiously encouraged but I’m not hopeful yet.

I think the sheeple may be getting tired of the BS spewing forth from this administration.

Not to worry. That’s what the lazy leftists say to influence and lie to their stupid, indoctrinated followers. The rheteric is becoming so boring it is almost laughable. Somewhere, some place, as I write, there is a dying old liberal/leftist fart sputtering his last words on earth....it’s, it’s Bush’s and the Republicans fault. They’re so predictable.
