Related: About this forumFormer Chicago Bears coach, now Florida jackass supports Rauner for IL. Gov, yet can't vote for him.
Which sounds a bit like pissing in a pool you don't have to swim in.
Seems like another manifestation of traumatic brain injury in a former NFL star. (he supported carpetbagger, Alan Keyes for senate as well)
I think hes a better person for the state of Illinois and people of Illinois than Quinn. Period. Thats it, Ditka said in a phone interview Monday with Early & Often, the Chicago Sun-Times political portal. Its about choices in life. This is my choice. I would choose to vote for [Rauner] if I was living in Illinois. But I dont.
It doesnt matter if Im qualified or not. Whats qualification? Is Quinn qualified? I dont know, Ditka said. The other man ran a business, very successful. He made a lot of money, paid a lot of people, helped a lot of people. Whats Quinns qualifications? Whos qualified for what?
You qualified to interview me? I think so, he continued. Its not too complicated. Its only common sense.

With Rauner anybody can come crawling out of the cracks to support him...he's rich enough to buy them all off.
