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.

I have an idea... how about we morph C(r)ook county into the District of Chicago

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.

Political post of the year. You been drinking?

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.

nope, no drinking. it's just that everyone with pol next to their name can't be believed, right? they tell everyone what they think they want to hear so they can get votes. so, talking out of both sides of their mouth with one hand patting you on the back, and the other sticking bribe...er, donations in their pockets.
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.

But he's Mr. Clean. The rubber band has stretched too far. We don't need the Olympics or any stimulus money. It will just be stolen. Cook Cty already has a 10.6% sales tax on top of one of the highest State income taxes in the nation. Al Capone's Cicero has become a haven for illegals because the Feds took over. No carding anyone. Jst give the ticket. That should be enough. Guess this may qualify as an anti Obama post as it's his nasty seat that has caused a bunch of this. You wait there will be many other heads falling. Rahm boy among them.

dell-

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.

Considering that George Ryan is from Kankakee and Bill Cellini is from Springfield, I would hardly say that every problem is coming out of Cook County.

Ryan was your typical Chicago politician all the same
definately not a Republican
only a (R)ino. I would like to see who would get elected if they didn't have that cancer to appease

sorry not aware who Bill Cellini is
