1. He sure as hell SHOULD be. He's the first honest governor Illinois's had going back AT LEAST

20 years. Brady's lame ads blaming him for the economy are pathetic.

Any Illinoisan who doesn't vote for Quinn is a goddamn bozo.

3. True, Sir: A Dyed In The Wool 'Goo-Goo', The Man Is....

"The more we learn about millionaire Jim Brady, the worse it gets...."

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

9. Indeed, he started as one of those dreaded activist/organizer/commie guys with a good

record. Since they don't have any corruption to pin on him. They're blaming him for the bush economy.

10. I love those ads

And I think they're working. "millionaire Bill Brady..."

:rofl:

2. Good news.

4. The Tea Party is slowly falling.

7. They do seem a bit out of sorts lately, and their

candidates do appear kind of well, psychotic.

:thumbsup:

11. Harry Reid by down by 20% until these loons showed up.

Reid is a slight favorite to win. It is fair to state that the GOP Tea Party may have thrown away this seat. They may have thrown away Kentucky. They threw away Delaware.

5. Quinn

He Is tied with brady among all voters.Here Is another case of a race once thought lost Is coming around for the Democrats.

6. Just gotta root for Pat Quinn in this one, and really

hard, too, because Brady is a retrosaurus.

8. I Paid More In Income Taxes Than Millionaire Bill Brady Did, Two Years Running

and I make less than $29,000.00 per year. But then anybody that paid one cent in income taxes over the last two years paid more than millionaire developer Brady did. Deadbeat Bill paid ZERO.

But he has other redeeming qualities:
1. Bill Brady was one of only 12 to vote against Illinois’ first jobs bill in 10 years; Illinois Jobs
Now! grows the economy through infrastructure improvements and will create and
retain 439,000 jobs.
2. Has a 100% anti-choice voting record – opposing abortions even in cases of rape, incest, and
when the health of the woman is a risk.
3. Has voted multiple times against anti-discrimination protections for the LGBT
community, and has sponsored three amendments to limit unions between same-sex
couples.
4. The Applied Research Center, an organization that promotes racial equity, awarded
Brady a grade of ‘F' based on his voting record. Only two other legislators received this
dismal rating.
5. Senator Brady has opposed key women’s health initiatives, including voting against
insurance coverage for mammograms, pap tests, and mastectomy rehabilitation. He
was also one of only two representatives to oppose providing new mothers 48-hours of
recovery time after giving birth, preventing “drive by deliveries.”
6. Brady does not believe that the state has an interest in ensuring equal pay for equal
work.
7. In February 2010, Senator Brady proposed a bill to mass kill dogs and cats in gas
chambers.
8. Voted against after-school programs and reading improvement programs, and
expanding school food programs for disadvantaged children.
9. Proposed lowering the minimum wage, taking $2,000 a year out of the pockets of
hundreds of thousands hardworking men, women, and families who earn only $17,000
per year.
10. Senator Brady does not believe human activities contribute to climate change, the
conclusion of the overwhelming body of scientific research. Asked about the issue at a
Tea Party rally, he said, “No, I don’t accept that premise, and it is wrong”.


Yea. That's the guy we need in the governor's mansion.

12. I think Madison had a positive effect they had give the impression people had give up on Obama when

not true.
