The mailings from Mike Madigan’s Democratic Party of Illinois are getting stranger and stranger.
One promoted windmills that anyone with a brain knows that if proposed for her home town of Barrington Hills would cause her neighbors to go ballistic.
Dee Beaubien (Ind.-Madigan) goes after Republican Dave McSweeney as a “career politician” supported by “the same politicians who want to cut Social Security and Medicare.” She says she will “protect programs like Social Security and Medicare,” but gives no clue how.
Today comes one promising that Dee Beaubien will protect seniors from cuts in Social Security and Medicare.
On the back, the Democrats continue to stress that Dee Beaubien will be “an independent voice.”
In sixteen years in the Illinois General Assembly I don’t remember one vote on either subject.
Why?
Congress controls both programs.
The picture matches again!
Career Politician?
From what I can find, he was a township trustee for a while and was an adviser for a Senator who was only in office for one term.
Does that qualify as a career?
Mullah Mike is Beaubien’s godfather, 40 years plus a career politician — what chutzpah.
Beaubien’s mailings count on the notion that seniors and women are idiots — we’ll see if that is true in November.
**Does that qualify as a career?**
Would this be better?
Career Losing Politician
Also… on SS and Medicare. While it is true that those are federal, not state issues, I absolutely trust a politician on other state issues if they are supportive of protecting SS and Medicare.
Did anyone ever come up with where Dee Beaubien said the tax increase she’s vowed to vote against is “Fair”?
Joe… that would be a no.
Still waiting for that one. Of course, with the way that McSweeney blatantly lied over and over again about Kent Gaffney, it sure wouldn’t be surprising to see him do the same with Dee Beaubien.
Better to not bring up the Gaffney thing; Gaffney did himself him with the people working his campaign, knowingly violating election laws.
Yea…McSweeneyright was right in that one.
Oh wait…helped about that too.
Holy auto correct mistakes! Lets try this again…
Yea…McSweeney was right about the violating election laws.
Oh wait…he blatantly lied about that one as well.
So…can no one back up McSweeney’s claim about Dee’s “fair” quote?
