The winds of political change sent a chill up the backs of national Democrat leaders Tuesday when two long-time Chicago Democrat powerhouses announced their support for Republican businessman Bruce Rauner, in his attempt to unseat incumbent Illinois Governor Pat Quinn. Reverend James T. Meeks of the 15,000 member strong Salem Baptist Church and Manny Sanchez, founder and managing partner of Sanchez Daniels & Hoffman LLP, the second largest minority-owned law firm in the United States, both made their intentions public today in statements and interviews given to Fox News. Both men are respected throughout Chicago, particularly among the black and Hispanic communities and their defection in this Democrat strongholds marks a watershed moment in American politics.
Reverend Meeks, a former Democrat State Senator, pulled no punches as he voiced his displeasure with a Democrat Party that has received unprecedented loyalty from African-American voters, with little to show for it. “Our neighborhoods are deplorable! The Democratic party just assume always that 97 percent of the African-American vote will go to the Democratic party. If that assumption is true, they never have to work for our vote,” Meeks said.

FLIP THE SENATE YOU ALL IN 2014....
This is a plan to screw with the Republican primary and make sure the weakest candidate wins.
Make it easy for the Democrat to run over them. In the general election they will back the Democrat.
These people have been too stupid for too long. Cut off their welfare and you will see a Republican elected.
10:12 - Cut off their welfare for a number of other reasons regardless!
Start means testing!
Start drug / alcohol / nicotine testing!
Stop increasing the check when they have another kid.
Stop allowing their EBT cards to be used on ATM machines.
Stop allowing their EBT cards to be used for other than bare sustenance - no cigs/booze/lobster/crab/steak/pizza etc.
