Denis Byrne sends up the “Political Class”
We respectfully disagree with one part of Denis Byrne’s argument. We think BOTH parties require a “Constitutional Jolt”
Democratic leaders need constitutional jolt
Why do Illinois Democrats keep voting for those clowns of theirs?
They’d probably reply that their clowns are a cut above the Republican clowns, and they may be right. But that still leaves the question: How can Democratic voters keep electing the very people who keep assaulting health care, child welfare and other social programs so dear to the Democratic heart?
Even the most reactionary, right-wing troglodytes have not been as successfully obstructionist as Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Senate President Emil Jones and House Speaker Michael Madigan—Democrats all—whose budget stalemate is giving social service providers fits.
The cuts in this budget prove the point that government has become an engine of hand-outs, contracts corruption, and public employee largess. People are hurting because Illinois leader of both parties are too busy dividing up pork (which Emil calls “Steak”) to fund necessary programs
