Durbin, Quinn see economic boon :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Nation

A question for all republicans that are using the fear-mongering tactic. What does Rudy Giuliani (New York) know about Illinois? Answer: Not a Damn Thing. Mark Kirk, running on the republican side for the Presidents old Senate seat has also voiced his opposition to helping create jobs in his own State. What does he know about Illinois? Answer: Not a Damn Thing. And for all the rest of the "Out-Of-Town" mouth-breathers, shut the hell up.

A near-empty prison, in an economically depressed area needs job growth. Do you none-math understanding republicans understand that? 2,000 direct jobs at the facility. Another 1,000 potential jobs outside the facility. The same can be said for other States in similar situations. Yet for as far as the eye can see, we have a bunch of republicans telling the people of the United States, sorry, you are on your own when it comes to job creation, or trying to stop foreclosure on your home. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm getting really sick of people that can't give me one good alternative for anything. The next press conference they give, they should just stand there and say no for a half an hour. After all, that's all they are saying for everything. They just stick a few more words in to drag out the event.

If just say No is the best you have, as opposed to coming up with better solutions, shut the hell up. How much louder do people have to yell in your deaf ears, jobs dummy, jobs? What part of "economic boom" you don't understand? The best you can come up with is the "having dangerous people on U.S. soil argument"? What, and who in the hell do you think are in prisons anyway? And by the way, why do you think they are called prisons?

If the people of Thomson let this opportunity of revitalization pass by out of shear ignorance, and fear-mongering, they deserve to have that place turn into a "Ghost-Town". Don't let a bunch of "we have no plan but say no to everything" ruin your chance of helping yourselves. Think people. Don't let these morons destroy your town. Remember, they DON'T live THERE. You do, and you know how to help it.
