The polling firm We Ask America asked 1,057 likely Illinois voters to weigh in on Gov. Pat Quinn’s performance.
The results are not good: 62 percent of respondents disapprove of Quinn's performance as governor.
When the figures are broken down along gender lines, 60 percent of women disapprove and 65 percent of men disapprove.
The numbers differ geographically. In Chicago only 41 percent disapprove, however 77 percent of downstate respondents disapprove.
All these upside down numbers lead the We Ask America pollsters to surmise that some political prognosticators will describe Quinn as the "Walking Dead."
The sooner we get him out, the sooner Illinois will get better.
Quinn, resign now, and save yourself the embarrassment of being slaughtered in the upcoming Election.
ReplyDeleteThat does not mean the sheep of Illinois patronage and gimme gimme wont be herded to vote for him. After all he has a D in front of his name.
ReplyDeleteHe could use this slogan too "Illinois - Still better than Michigan"
agreed, quinn is such a silly pol. a complete joke.
ReplyDeleteQuinn 2014 -- "47th place out of 50 States? - not so bad!"
ReplyDeleteMore Ilinois Businesses closing, packing up and leaving, or just going out of Business, thanks to this Bungling Socialist.
DeleteIs there any chance "normal", patriotic American, moral democrats of old will form an American Party which honors the Constitution and is for the people. Or will they be like Durbin, Cullerton, Quinn and others who will crash and burn with the Communist, transvestite, America hating, baby killing,welfare leeches that are in power now?
ReplyDeleteThe problem with this comment is that it presents a naive, poorly informed, and incorrect perspective. You have a lot of things confused, and you are lumping different dynasties and muscle with each other. And the whole "Communist" and "transvestite" stuff and "babby killing" (deep breath) and "welfare leeches" is bizarre.
DeleteEhhh... communism as a threat to this country is over. I am not sure what website(s)s you are reading.
Oh, my God! This just in. You are right. There is a transvestite communist incoming who is (Central AND South) America hating and leeching due to welfare. Oh, my God. Yes. You are right.

It is fun responding to people like you, but it is also . . . strange. Strange as hell, Truthfully, I might be a victim of your punking. Or, you are this stupid.
Unfortunately not likely. The slowly de-evolving South Side Irish are but a pale reflection of their grand pappies. They would get in line and grab a communist flag and lead the chant while marching in the mayday parade....if it meant they would still get their nice govt check and the lean on the broom do nothing city job. In their little pondm they are big fish. What they are too dumb to notice is that others are draining the pond
Delete"normal", patriotic American, moral democrats of old "
DeleteDon't exist anymore
Potato-head Irish are the first to sell out to whatever socialistic Entity promises them a potato-pie and a Jug of Cheap Whiskey. They are very similar to their Block - Voting brothers, the Negroes.
DeletePolitics: the art of . . . .Now, is "politics" in Illinois an art? It is the system of family connections, public contracting, and favor giving . . . in Illinois. All of 'em in Illinois---perhaps not all, just most---are part of it. Rahm wants to deliver this glorious, golden, precious favor to Obama's largest support. A bona fide, unregulated, unsupervised, untouchable casino license. All of those banking "issues" (fraud, wiring) occurred when she was a kid, never mind (at all) she benefited from it. Just never mind. Pretend we are unable to think, product of CPS.
ReplyDeleteLook, Quinn can be blamed. Might make you feel better to point a finger and say, "that is the jerk." The elite in Illinois are never satisfied. Pritzker gets another (unregulated) casino and our dearest Lisa becomes governor.
The post is a distraction from the real connections, in the marriage of business, licensing, contracting, and "politics".
Get rid of Quinn, and we still have the same people with their iron thumbs on every license and contract. I never met Quinn. I do not know him. I may or may not like him professionally or personally. But we are in a world of absolute hurt with more money and casinos going to Pritzker, more money to finance PRESIDENTIAL campaigns, and the Madigan family in more control.
I think Quinn has been such a disappointment to so many people because he was widely perceived as a decent, stand-up guy. He seemed to truly care about the little people in the old fashioned Democratic Party style. He also did not seem to hate businesspeople. Well he has governed as a feckless, rudderless lackey who, when confronted with tough decisions, puts them off for as long as possible, but in the end simply defaults to the liberal knee jerk answer....kinda like Obama
ReplyDeleteBullshit, He's a Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. Name ONE thing he's EVER done for the Middle-Class Taxpaying Citizens of Illinois, Chicago, or Crook County ?
DeleteVOTE REPUBLICAN, Save Illinois, and YOUR future...
ReplyDeleteyes, now it IS up to real Republicans elected to get the State back on the right track after years of out of control spending, theft, extremeism, etc.

Wrong, the Communist thereat is here and now. Name ONE thing that the Government does NOT have its filthy , thieving paws in.
Does this mean Quinn's Siamese-Twin brother, Bill Daley, will be moving in and the Chicago Democrat Machine making Quinn look worse and worse the closer it gets to Election Time? Never underestimate the ruthlessness of the Daleys.
ReplyDeleteHe's the Perfect 19th Ward Democommunist, he should become Alderman, or Mayor of Chicago.
ReplyDeleteDon't be fooled, the Democrats don't want Rauner, but know that if they do lose, Rauner would be the most beneficial to them to have in Office. He's like a Back-up Democrat. Rauner being tough on Labor Unions, who allegedly 'Fear him" is all Bullshit too.
ReplyDeleteso true !
DeleteQuinn thinks he's a Mastermind because he forced Queer Marriage into law in Illinois. Big Accomplishment, Potato-Head. Illinois next to Last in Employment, and almost everything else. Nothing good goes up in Illinois, only the bad stuff, like Taxes, Gas, Grocery, Utility Prices, Unemployment, food Stamps, Welfare, Highway Tolls, etc. The average Middle Class Taxpayer gets NOTHING for his money in Illinois. Yet these Sheeple keep voting Democrat/Communist [same when it all boils down, re-distribution of your tax dollar, to block voting democrat welfare-Entitlement Dependent Career and Generational Deadbeat Freeloaders.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a real Beady-Eyed Weasel, for sure. Not at all to be trusted at all. Sissy - Boy, and blamer of others for his Party's [Democrat-Communist] continued rapeing of the Middle-Class Taxpayers thru excessive Taxation and excessive and out of control spending done to pad their pockets and garner more votes instead of doing what's right for the Taxpayers. Also always taking the Lazy-Mans Way Out of problem-solving by wasting more Taxpayer Dollars lounging around Springfield trying to pass irrelevant Laws that already shadow those on the Books Now, instead of solving the problems and using the current laws properly and effectively. Much easier to create the illusion/smoke-screen of passing yet anothe B.S. Law or Ordinance aimed at a problem, then, not solving the problem, but instead takeing the Public's Eye off the Ball, and attempting to Trick them into believing the problem at hand has been solved, when in fact they've again done NOTHING, but Waste even more Middle-Class Taxpayer Dollars.

Spoken like a true life-long Chicago Democommunist Chumbalone.
Communists can no longer hide inside the Trojan horse that is the Democrat Party.
DeleteThe Taxpaying American Citizens have awakened, and are wise to this Scam, and the fleecing of Middle Class America by the parasite Democrats, viaCommunist re-distribution of our hard-Earned Tax Dollars extorted from us by Democrat Politicians.
Sorry Charlie, but thst Dog won't Hunt anymore....
Democrat Chumbalone; YOU are the one who's stupid. Did you think you could fool people forever ?
Deleteno, the Comment is right on, sorry Chumbalone, the Cat is out of the Bag for you and your fellow Commies.
