Rauner - Scott Walker all over again ....except he doesns't own the Legislature.

He does have 20 million dollars to use to scare them (Leg.) into voting his way however.

This dude is a monster in sheep's clothing. He had no plan or none he would reveal. How many union members voted for him because they were mad at Quinn?

1. Even with all of his money he's going to have a hard time....

... overcoming a solid Democratic legislature.... unless he buys those fuckers too....

2. Yes and it seems that everyone is for sale these days.

Still, I hope they fight the good fight.

3. Rauner's plan

Does anyone feel Rauner will reveal his plan, assuming he has one, before he decides to run for President as probably the 537th declared candidate for President on the Republican side?
I live in a suburb of Chicago. Went to a Rauner event last year sponsored by the Oak lawn Tea Party. Got a chance to ask a question of Baron Von Carhart during the Q&A.
My question was: You talk about cutting property taxes, real estate taxes, all as a path to prosperity. You are proposing the same thing for Illinois that was done in Kansas under Republican Governor Sam Brownback in 2012 and now their deficit is exploding. How will your plan work any differently?
He responded that my question was complicated and we would talk later. Immediately after the Q&A he rushed out. The Tea Party crowd ate up his speech.

4. "Baron Von Carhart"!!!

Priceless! I'm stealing that.

5. stealing what?

Feel free to steal freely. How could I refuse a great aunt, especially of triplets. I must admit that I heard the "Baron von Carhart" tag at a protest I attended so I can not take credit.

6. I want to call Rauner Baron Von Carhart, especially when talking to Republicans.

Thanks very much for it!
