The Budget Bamboozle in Illinois

WThomasPayne — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 07:01:10 -0500

Well, King Rod Blagojevich is at it again this year, stalling the state budget. Technically, all of the employees of the state should be on unpaid furlough right now and every state agency, other than emergency services, shut down. And King Rod says he's looking at the unbalanced budget looking for the appropriate areas to slice and dice with his line item veto authority, which he so callously used as a political weapon last fall.

One thousand bodies showed up to dole out chunks of hot sweaty cash to support their favorite potentate and Federal Investigatee - King Rod Blagojevich - the other night. Makes me wonder if any of them worry that they are now potential suspects in the ongoing Federal investigation of King Rod's Jobs for Donations program.

And good Old King Rod - there he goes filling his coffers to try to fight him off.

The Illinois Republican Party is hard at work in Decatur discussing how best to combat the rising tide of influence, and power, and corruption of the Chicago Democrats, not just on the state scene where the Machine of Corruption already holds total domination, but also how to stop them from taking hold of the White House.

Illinois Democrats - Wake up Before You Vote

Are the members of the Democratic Party who live in downstate Illinois brain damaged, or just sheeple willing to be led to the slaughter? Your leadership has been totally and completely overrun and corrupted by the Chicago Machine.

Halvorson Quits Illinois Senate Rules Chair Position

WThomasPayne — Thu, 08 May 2008 05:56:43 -0500

Riddle me this - Why should Debbie Halvorson of Crete represent downstate 11th Congressional District? Halvorson has been fully in the pocket of Clown Prince Emil Jones for the last 3 years, doing his bidding and serving as the principal roadblock in service to King Rod Blagojevich during her tenure as the chair of the Illinois Senate's Rules Committee?

When will Blagojevich Head for Prison?

WThomasPayne — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 08:05:24 -0500

I wonder how many of King Rod Blagojevich's political appointees are looking over their shoulders these days? How many of them have gone to throw-away cell phones for communications with the Governor's office - how many demand personal meetings in safe rooms recently swept of electronic monitoring?

The entire Loop School million dollar boondoggle is starting to take shape, with Ms. Gill's ties to Jesse Jackson revealed, and Jackson apparently exerting influence on King Rod Blagojevich to pardon her.

Why Illinois Needs a Constitutional Convention

WThomasPayne — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 07:13:37 -0500

From where I sit, there is one fundamental reason Illinois voters need to vote to force a Constitutional Convention and rewrite portions of the fundamental law of the state. And that is to short-circuit the abuse of power being exercised by Senate President Emil Jones in his unflagging support of Governor King Rod Blagojevich.
