The article itself is behind a paywall, but it's only 25 cents and totally worth it.
https://www.nationalreview.com/nrd/articles/383587/where-sidewalk-ends
I read that article and it was terrible what it said about our governor. A governor that was fairly elected by a majority of the people of our great state. The article blamed all sorts of ills, both real and imaginary and all exagerated on our Gov. The Gov. is making progress, there are some problems with the states economy, but give him time. Rome was not built in a day, and don't believe everything the article says about us. People are moving into the state, our economy is on the rebound, crime is five times worse in St. Louis than it is in Chicago, and our governor is trying his best to do what is right for the state and it's citizens.
Quinn is a spineless organism who is gov. of this state he like the ebola virus is a democrat I believe we have less to fear from the ebola virus than we do from Quinn and democrats agreed?
Quinn and Ruaner to POS's, hard to tell which one is worse than the other?
I can't vote for either POS and pray that Jim Oberweis gets in, the only hope for Illinois is Oberweis!
people wake up. This is all fixed. Madigan, Daly , Rahm and all the bosses are really Republicans and they are getting old and now they are putting Rauner in office. Believe me when I say this. They are sick of taking care of the Revs and playing the game with the urban side of things. This is all deliberate and part of a bigger plan. Same actors just new names. it is clear when the Rev Brooks is lining up behind the "Republican" Raurner. Trust me
DeaNo FLOP will endorse Quinnnlin
I hate to say it but, the Republicans are going to win this one
The cover might as well have George Washington weeping and the caption "How to Ruin the United States".
Hope Mike Madigan gets named too in that article and they can point out that Lisa is the top law enforcement official of the state and has done NOTHING against any politician, otherwise, the article will be useless.
It is not just Quinn that has f'd up Illinois.
It is the Demorat party in general starting with the head Demorat Obama rama ding dong.
The accidental governor.
He makes us remember a very old joke...
"If ya step in clown shit, would it smell funny?"
Every time we see this spineless, pandering, French Army surrender panties wearin' puddin' head on T.V. we think of that joke.
Even tho I am no fan of Rauner... I refuse to vote democrat
Can we agree to rename Illinois' slogan to "The Land Of Link" as a previous poster wrote. It perfectly describes this state.
Also, excellent editorial in the WSJ sodomizing Quinn for the NRI mess.
http://online.wsj.com/articles/claire-groden-an-antiviolence-boondoggle-in-murder-plagued-chicago-1407537166?mod=hp_opinion
Rauner and Rahm are in cahoots. Remember what Kass calls Illinois government? The combine. There is no two party system in government. They are going to try to screw us on our pension.
As a side note, isn't it a coincidence that Rahm had mountains moved so he can become mayor, his brother the Dr. was involved in Obamacare, and his other brother is a big shot in Hollywood? Someone much bigger behind the scenes setting this up. I'm gonna take off my tinfoil hat now.
FOP is for Quinn but POs are for Change
I can't vote for either POS and pray that Jim Oberweis gets in, the only hope for Illinois is Oberweis!
You mean the ice cream
Don't forget, boys and girls, one of our own is in the White House, and the great plan to to turn USA into a better place is going nicely.
Quinns looking good on the cover
It doesn't matter who is mayor, it doesn't matter who is governor. Until Madigan and his ilk is gone nothing will change.

Sorry sir but Quinn has had more than enough time and how pathetic that you have to compare Chicago to St. Louis...Quinn should join former Governor Ryan in the long list of Illinois corruption.
Ha-ha-ha, they eviscerate Gov Potato-Head. This is in the first paragraph: 'I start off in Hinsdale, Ill., hometown of Pat Quinn, America’s Worst Governor™.' Rotfl, now that's a friggen keeper. (Rauner should use it.)
This is the last paragraph before the pay-wall: 'If you seek a monument to Governor Pat Quinn, take a good long whiff of the despair and decay around here. If his political career is indeed euthanized this November, they should bury its rotting carcass right here in East St. Louis...snip... If this is the Land of Lincoln, then Pat Quinn is the gubernatorial John Wilkes Booth.'
I don't see how Potato-Head can survive again. Hell, I don't see how the moron beat Bill Brady last time.
Well, that is, except for that bullshit ad he put out during the last week in Oct about Brady not paying any income tax for two years. The TRUTH was that Brady didn't 'pay' any income tax because he DIDN'T OWE ANY TAXES. His only source of income was from Business Income and he had LOSSES those years, ergo, no taxes.
Now Potato Head is using the same lying schtick on Rauner; Not Paying Into Social Security. And like with Brady, Rauner DIDN'T OWE anything for Social Security. Being Self Employed & having Business Income is 100% different than working for someone & getting a paycheck. But dem's wouldn't know about 'having a business' as they exist by sucking off the teat of taxpayers the day they move out of mommy's basement.
Quinn...Rauner. Classic no win scenario.
I would rather vote for Quinn than a puppet of the one percent like Rauner
OT. Corp counsel investigations detail to end soon. 10 POs - 2 sgts. City taking on line applications for retired officers to serve process. This is the same unit where the lyin Hawaiian cut her teeth.
To 12:13am. Please report for a piss test!!!!!
"Rahm and all the bosses are really Republicans" ???
Stop sniffing glue! The liberal Dems own this mess. Just look at the surrounding Republican states. They're much better off fiscally.
when you have a state run by democrat liberal losers what do you expect....no different than california, new york

Gov. Quinn, stay off of the blog
Just read the article, wow!!
check this shit out. 2 brothers on the job went to Fenwick all the way from Beverly every single day for 4 years. That's a haul to anyone who isn't familiar w/the trek. The Gov's Bro is/was the AD at Fenwick and one of those living legend types in a Catholic School. I know the brothers from Marist cuz the neighborhood sends a lot to Marist and hang out w/em occasionally.
The Gov promised the father of the 2 bros that they would B Lts in 10 years. That shit didn't happen. They're both still in Patrol and closing in on 20 years making these careers potentially KMA, but certainly no promotion.
I know 3 peeps that won't B voting for The Gov. Can't trust those politicians......
The first step in resuscitating the State of Illinois is to replace Governor Quinn. He and his fellow Democrats have sucked this once proud and wealthy State dry just to enrich and empower the Democrat Party.

SCC, the blog-baiter is back.
We know Quinn will not gut our pension . He didn't hurt state workers .
Rauner hadn't made a statement about pensions , will he cut them , tax them , end pensions for new employees . No one knows .
Fop,pbpa,cfd etc have to get answers .

Damn SCC. Never knew Quinn read and posted on the blog.
Pat stay off the blog and go back to fucking up the State along with Rahm.
I hate to say it but, the Republicans are going to win this one
HATE Why lose your clout? Democrats are the rich socialists
Look at Daley's and Rham's net worth
WoW efficient government Now that's an Idea
We've had enough years of Madigan and Democrats ruining this state
I only read the intro to the article and I am no fan of Pat Quinn, but the article seems to be totally unfair. The article starts in East St. Louis.
I was in East St. Louis once 25 years ago and it was a hell hole then. The governor then was Jim Thompson. Why is Quinn blamed for terrible things that have existed for decades before he became governor?
Looks like Abe's contact lens fell out (again).
I haven't even read the article but it seems to me the Emanuel/Rauner cabal have enlisted their media buddies to hammer Quinn. Free campaign publicity for Rauner, the ousting of an enemy for Rahm. Good to have strings you can pull in the media, especially if you have an agenda.
And before you slam me for being pro-Quinn, I'm not. He's an idiot and he's had plenty of time to turn this state around, which he hasn't done. I'm just commenting on the timing and motivation of this article.
Quinn flies any flag that benefits Quinn. If there were a lot of Nazi votes to be had, he'd be marching down State Street on Hitler's birthday!
Personally, I believe that Rham has Rauner running as a RHINO, but once elected he'll be in Rhams pocket. Rauner will be the catalyst for the city not to honor their pension obligations.
Rauner has donated $$ to Rham a while back.
I hope I'm wrong as a CPD pensioner, but I don't trust this group of politicians and everything I've seen thus far strengthens my beliefs.
Again, brothers and sisters, I hope I'm wrong.
If you don't like Quinn or Rauner at least show up and vote Libertarian to show that cops vote.
Otherwise we don't matter.
Looting the pension funds why are these guys not in the federal penitentiary?

So you're saying the governor promised to illegally circumvent the promotion process for two guys who can't seem to pass an exam and you're publicly bitching about it on the blog?
Hahahahahahaha!

That has the stench of Rahm Emanuel all over it.
To the unpublished "Stephen Glass"
Glass wrote for TNR - The New Republic - a left-leaning liberal publication that spends it's time fawning over Obama and various communist endeavors. They are completely the opposite of National Review.
Nice try though. Asshat.

Until Madigan is gone....and his little daughter....nothing will be fixed in the state.

Quinn's brother was fired as basketball coach and is not currently the athletic director. He is still a teacher there. The Fenwick web site still lists him as basketball coach but he is not. Gov Quinn hit the roof when his bro got fired.
Quinn flies any flag that benefits Quinn. If there were a lot of Nazi votes to be had, he'd be marching down State Street on Hitler's birthday!

A good summary of Pandering Pat.
To those on the fence or not thinking Rauner is good, here is my take-
TOO MANY lawyers in government. Get some business people in. Get some different perspectives. Don't keep re-electing these hacks.
You can ALWAYS change a guy out if he is bad in four years.
Instead, you would rather reward total and demonstrated incompetence than kick it out?
Where is the LOGIC there? That's beyond Asshat logic, it's crackpipe logic.
Rauner is no goof. Stop buying off on the TV BS.
I look at it this way, if the guy has THAT much money, he is not going to be trying to steal when he is in office. He's not going to be asking for $20K for an appointment or a state job. Or $500,000 for a senate seat.
Too many politicians (lawyers) got rich while in office. How does THAT happen?
Get these "regulars" off the public trough.
Rauner talks "term limits". You'll never hear Quinn or any of the regulars talk about term limits or even trust the electorate with a referendum on term limits. Why?
To me, that in itself speaks volumes.
Vote the incumbents out.
I'm no fan of Quinn but Rauner is just a bit to chummy with Rahm for my liking.
How's that old saying go?
Better the devil you know
To the Fenwick story. There is a similar story with two cousins whose last name starts with R and that shit did happen. They made sergeant and lieutenant together in 10 yrs and both were sergeants in the old infamous SOS group.
Remember the tearful American Indian public service ad that told you not to litter...he's now probably laughing his ass off at the Liberals.
But anyway, Rauner is a cut and run money maker, likely to involve the State in many investments that will make Illinois appear solvent as Apple or Exxon, benefactors will be HIS pals and pols. Quinn is just going to keep the status quo.
I say keep the status quo and hope The Fed will finally wake up.
Dumping Rahm from City Hall is paramount for reform, the Governor and Speaker will get their due.
• NO Rahm
• NO Rauner
• NO Madigan

Dean and FOP are for Quinn and Democrats Some election Our dues again working hard for us

It would be a vast improvement if the state was run as well as those ice cream stores. Great product, always clean and those working the counter are usually friendly. The US senate isn't in a budget position concerning the state finances. Maybe he can teach the dolts in DC how to balance a budget with his business experience.

So you would rather vote for the socialist than the corrupt 1% socialist that Rahm is setting up. That speaks volumes about our political process here in Illinois.
I vote democrat for the first time in the primary, just so I could vote against Potato-head twice.
Better the wife beater Tio Hardiman, than Quinn....

I actually think you're serious.
Rauner talks "term limits". You'll never hear Quinn or any of the regulars talk about term limits or even trust the electorate with a referendum on term limits. Why?
They all talk term limits before they are in office. Once they win the election they forget about term limits.
Well one thing is Rauner is a successful businessman and this state in order to not just survive but flourish needs a pro business Governor. The Dems will totally destroy Illinois and live off of us in their elected offices. I'm not thrilled with Rauner but I will vote for him. With Dems in charge it death by a thousand cuts.
