Step 1 = Illinois

Step 2 = Oakland

Step 3 = Detroit

“Hopefully they (Republicans in DC) also learn the lessons of the Illinois Republican Party who couldn’t properly manage a one car funeral.”

Ain’t gonna happen!

The GOP Establishment is so out of touch and the Republican “brand” is so tarnished, it is hard to imagine much of a future for the Republican party. Most Americans view Republicans as a bunch of hypocrites and buffoons. It certainly doesn’t help matters when a Republican senator gets a DUI and doesn’t have the decency to resign and when Senate the Republican leadership doesn’t call for his resignation!!!

The time for a GENUINE, Bible believing conservative party to replace the stinking, rotted, corrupt GOP is now.

Illinois is rotting from the inside. The RATS in charge caused the problem and now assure us they can fix it.

In the mean time, MORE Rats were elected to the Illinois Senate and House. They now have filibuster\veto proof- majorities.

Are we flippin nuts ?

[Trod Upon]

That’s no future.

ILL-ANNOY has embedded corruption as a family, cottage industry. When you have the Speaker of the House pass, in essence, illegal laws, and his daughter is the AG, who is gonna take up a lawsuit regarding teachers’ union officials getting retirement credits as if they were teachers, thus eligible for a full teacher's pension? Or pensions set up for elected officials that are highly lucrative? Nearly 2000 lawsuits are brought for corruption but these convictions have had no deterrent effect on the continuation of criminality in government - state-county-local.

Speaking of unconstitutional...

The Illinois state constitution mandates that all government pensions must be paid.

Here are the numbers...

Long term unfunded pension liabilities - $100 billion

2013 Illinois state budget - $28 billion

2013 taxpayer bill for pensions - $7 billion

That's 25% of the state budget.

Only two solutions...

Taxpayers will leave the state.

Or, Obama will bail them out, most likely with an Executive Order.

Chicago doesn’t have a gun problem. Chicago has a negro problem.

The problem people are the very same Obama was paid to organize.

There were 500+ murders last year there. More than the combined military war deaths and suicides. Chicago is twice as dangerous than Afghanistan
