Quinn vs Rauner: Good and Bad

I like Illinois Governor Pat Quinn. I think he is a kind, devoted, loyal, public servant who does his best at his job everyday. I do not think he is sleazy, corrupt, bogus, and vicious as most of his contemporaries are. If one follows their heart they will re-elect Quinn.

I do not like and will not vote for Bruce Rauner. I think he stinks of having a ton of tainted money, being elitist,  and having no heart and soul .He is clearly in the race for the power and prestige of holding the governors office. Let's not give it to him. After all, he is just trying to buy it. Quinn has walked the walk. Rauner has never been a public servant. I do not think he knows how to act in the interests of anyone who is not rich, powerful, and successful.

If he wants to really offer public service he should volunteer to help the poor and underprivileged, get a job teaching or mentoring budding entrepreneurs. Something to satisfy his supposed craving for us lowly citizens. I feel that if Rauner gets defeated we will not ever hear from him again unless he runs for another political office.

At the end of the day there are no answers. The state is buried being repair financially. The debt is insurmountable and neither Rauner, Quinn, or anyone else will fix it. So, it gets down to electing someone who will try hard for us even while holding bad cards. I think Pat Quinn is the right man for the job of Illinois governor. I think people know that in their hearts.

Let's see?

Pat Quinn A Good Man

I like Illinois Governor Pat Quinn. He tries to do the right thing. He is not the typical calculating, biased politician. He is openly for gay rights, increasing minimum wages and  banning  assault weapons. Yes. Its the beginning of the Governors race. Quinn's approval ratings are low but that means nothing.

He has a giant deficit to deal with. It will apparently will be almost impossible to overcome. He said "Illinois must honor the productivity of it's workers." At least his heart is in the right place even with no money to pay for anything. Mike Madigan is the one who can make things happen in Illinois. Certainly he has to have some humanity attached to that hard core exterior. Come on Mike. Help the governor. Help us all. Do the right thing. Maybe it will also help Lisa Madigan.
