State GOP leader: Thomson prison worth a lot more than gov's price tag :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Politics


Illinois politics at its worst. Since the republican party has no clue on how to help people obtain jobs, and have affordable health care, all they can do is use their favorite tool, extortion. The only idea they have ever had was to enrich the already wealthy of this country, and let the lower, and middle class die a slow death.

They knew that most of the states around the country would benefit from shipping these scumbags off to "Super-Max" prisons. Yet, they did what they do best. Use fear, and the old "not in my backyard" tactics. They failed. Filling these prisons with these blood-lusting cowards, brings employment to these states. Now they want to use extortion tactics, too squeeze more money out of the Federal system, that they tell people, they hate so much.

One must be a very, very low scumbag of little self-esteem to attempt such a punk-ass move of this nature. The press (print and media) needs to ask this jack-hole what he's done lately to bring jobs back to this state? Enough of this "party of no", and if no doesn't work, let's strong arm the Federal government. The same federal government they "all of a sudden" hate so much. They instructed elected officials of their party to reject "Stimulus Funds" to help their states. That didn't work, because it helps the people of those states. If all they want is a return to bread and soup lines, like back during the depression, we'll just elect another republican. They only lookout for the wealthy after-all, and we all see what that did to this country.

Today, we have people in office trying to fix this near-collapse, and yet they (Republicans) refuse any assistance. It makes you wonder what would happen if a tornado hit a "Tea-Party" stronghold? What would they say then? Keep your government hands of my shattered home? I don't want your help? Good Luck with that one.
