![]() Our state has demonstrated time and again that popular government is simply a failure here. They need to ammend the part of the U.S. Constitution that requires each state to have a republican form of government so that we in Illinois can try Constitutional monarchy, or anarchy, or Communism, or a theocracy or something.......The current system of electoral democracy may work elsewhere, but it doesn't here.

![]() try my state.
you need 2/3 of each house in the state legislature to pass a budget. we have a $41 billion deficit. republican's don't want to raise taxes. democrats don't want to cut services. you have venal corruption. but we have structural paralysis. and a lower state bond rating than louisiana. |

sure they'll still be corrupt but they won't have a say in the State or the US congress. Then the rest of us will actually have some honest representation.

Personally I feel IL should be punished and allow 1 senator till the seat is open for election. As Jesse would say 'times they are a changing' in addition to telling that poor released POW 'you're in the way of the camera' Like a Simpsons episode.

so, yeah, he ought to fit right in with the nest of vipers he joined. the dems were outraged at the thought of a blago pick getting seated, until the worse option of having a republican winning a special election reared it's head. so, you guys got what your dems in charge wanted, which was not having the populace vote, and taking the chance of having a republican win the seat. i think it's outrageous, but i wonder where it will go from here. the guy should do the right thing and resign....lol yeah, like that's going to happen.

you really don't need to inoculate every post you make with "sorry it doesn't qualify as anti obama" and "guess this may qualify as an anti-obama post...". you don't like him. he's to blame for blago appointing burris. we get it. what i need clarification on is timm's endorsement deal with kool-aid. and how people with their heads in the sand drink it. |
