   Gov. Bag-o-chips should work on getting the budget done. Dems fighting Dems over a budget is comical.

   Opinion poll: I grew up, and currently live, in a small Illinois town 290 miles from Chicago and 213 miles from Nashville TN. How dishonest would it be for me to start telling people I live “a little ways north of Nashville” instead of admitting I’m from Illinois?

    Criminalize the possession of a more-than-10-round magazine? Perhaps somebody should explain to the Governor that the U.S. Constitution prohibits making something a crime after it has occurred. It’s called the Ex Post Facto clause. That’s why I could legally own and keep my evil, mean, wicked and nasty “Assault Weapons” all throughout the “Assault Weapon Ban.”

    Yeah, Raging Republican, you’re right…but the .380 (or better yet the Makarov, if only for irony’s sake) in one’s pocket is better than the .45ACP at home or in the car because it’s too heavy or the ambiguities in one’s local CCW law leave one unsure as to whether one will be arrested for “brandishing” because the .45 printed through clothing.

    Blagojevich is just one more in a long line of corrupt Illinois governors.

    It’s almost a requirement for office now. You can’t run unless you promise to be a crook.

    Pathetic. And the guy has a majority Dem legislature and can’t get his budget through because it’s so packed with goodies for interest groups that he’s shortchanged the schools as well as transportation and health care.

    I think Hillary ought to pick him for her Veep. They make a great looking couple, don’t ya think?

    Any Dem that asks Blagojevich to endorse her for president would be crazy. It would be like asking the head of the mob to endorse you publicly. The guy is a crook but people reelected him anyway. Or maybe it was all those union voters and dead people. Voting straight ticket means you don’t have to think.

    I believe it has been established that Michelle is an accomplished shooter (see The Vent). And I noticed that look of confidence on her and Bryan’s face as they were filming in Iraq…

    And Rick is correct, Blagojevich is a true democrap. That guy is so crooked they’ll have to screw him in the ground when he dies…

    If that law passes there are several (off the top of my head 6) firearm manufacturers in northwestern IL who have already stated that they will leave. I also know of 2 smaller firearms related companies that are looking out of state for facilities. I guess the answer to budget troubles is to drive out businesses that have been in your state for since the War Between the States and which bring in millions in tax revenues and employ thousands of people.

    I live not far from IL in a bordering state. Due to their firearms laws, I avoid traveling in the state as it is a major hassle to secure my concealed carry weapon in a manner assured to pass muster with the variably interpreted IL firearm transportation laws. On at least 3 occasions this summer so far groups of my friends have opted to go to wineries and camping in states other than IL due to their draconian firearms laws (most of my friends conceal carry). How many millions does IL lose when potential tourists make these decisions?
    Sadly, the IL legislature is utterly controlled by Chicago and it’s suburbs. There aren’t enough votes from the remaining counties to vote down their stupidity. It is a sad state of affairs (pun intended).

    Blago panders to the Mexicans with mortgage assistance for illegal aliens, medical insurance for jackpot babies, welcoming centers for illegal aliens, etc. Probably what gave him an edge over an honest candidate Judy Barr Tropinka in the last election. Mexinois is one of the Aztlan states, like Mexifornia, Mexizona, Mexas, etc.

    Dan Kotowski, the sponsor of the legislation being discussed, was one of psychopath Laurie Dann’s victims. Laurie Dann, a mental patient whose behavior leading up to her shooting rampage should have led to her arrest, illegally retained possession of her firearms, even though she was a psychotic under medical care in violation of both state and federal gun laws. You can google her and read her life story.

    The thing that stands out about her is that her rampage DID NOT NEED TO HAVE HAPPENED. She was a known mental patient. The cops knew she had two guns.

    Her doctor knew she had guns. Her parents knew she had guns, and NOBODY did anything to stop her from retaining her guns.

    The local cops knew she was not just a mental patient but was actively threatening to kill people in northern Illinios, Wisconsin, and in Arizona
    – and did nothing. She even attempted to kill her ex husband by stabbing him with an ice pick in the chest.

    The States Attorney of Cook County (then Richard M. Daley, current Mayor of Chicago) knew about all of this and did nothing. HE REFUSED TO PROSECUTE. Daley, one of the country’s most vicious gun grabbers let her go instead of prosecuting her.

    Likewise, the States attorney of Lake County, IL, knew of her behavior and did nothing.

    The only government official that acted was the US Attorney in Phoenix because Dann was phone harassing an Arizona resident who complained.
    Unfortunately, she went on her rampage before the FBI could arrest her.

    So, because local officials did NOT DO THEIR JOBS, Dann was allowed to go on a shooting rampage in a school, resulting in the shooting of several people (a child was killed) including Dan Kotowski.

    Dann single-handedly turned a pissant zero Kotowski into a “Victim” and empowered a dedicated gun grabber.

    Kotowski went on to create a gun control organization that has been very vocal in its goal to ban ALL FIREARM OWNERSHIP. They have been unsuccessful, so Kotowski ran for state senator and won. He has submitted several gun grabbing bills and is trying for a major push right now to ban almost all firearms; that’s the bill being considered in the special session.

    He is the most dangerous man in politics for gun owners right now.

    Thanks to Laurie Dann and her enablers, particularly Richard M. Daley.

    Good to see our State of Catastrophe make the national radar. Baloneyvich is a farcical little puppet, put up by the mob operation run by Mike Madigan and Little Richie Daley.

    We have the same puppetry in Cook County, with the retarded son of the former Board President left in charge. He doesn’t even dress himself in the morning yet.

    No GOP to speak of, it’s Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right.
