Just how large and painful will GOP's budget cuts be?

Let's turn to the Republican team for an explanation of governor candidate Judy Baar Topinka's proposed cost-saving restructuring of Medicaid.


"It'll hurt just a tiny little bit."

"They (not I, of course) will only cut this much."

"Actually, the cuts will be massive."
"But only those people in Chicago will feel the pain."
"No, every person in this state will suffer if I'm elected."
Finally, a detailed plan from someone who will give a rat's behind that she is governor.

More pain at The Daley Show

I'm voting for Rich Whitney--the only candidate with a real plan to fix the structural budget defecit here in Illinois!

If you cut the budget, the state is spending less money, which means somewhere, someone's salary will not get paid.

It may be a state employee, it may be a vendor.

This employee probably has children, babies even. Now babies need blankets. If the employee is not getting paid because the state is spending less money, he or she won't be able to buy their baby a blanket.

So cutting the state budget is akin to taking blankets away from babies.

For those of you that want to cut the state budget, I ask you 'why do you hate babies so much'?

Republicans hate babies? Oh, come now, we're not the ones that support killing unborn babies.

I'm a Republican, but I appreciate the humor and a post that actually reflects some thought beyond the typical blog fluff.

Great use of the photos

The Republican Party will be back when this latest crew of embarrassing pretenders goes down.

actually, "ap" stands for associated press, which means the reporter will pretty much write down whatever the politician says without doing any research or questioning
