Hope and Change
UPDATE: This is updated information that occurred after Rick wrote his column:
CHICAGO – The Democratic nominee for Illinois lieutenant governor has dropped out of the race less than a week after winning the nomination amid a political uproar about his past. (Snip) The pawn broker and owner of a cleaning supplies company won the nomination Tuesday. Since then, it has become widely know that he was accused of abusing his ex-wife and holding a knife to the throat of an ex-girlfriend. (Ed.) – thank to a wise and resourceful Granny.
Well comrades, how do you feel about all of that hope and change now?
The political pundits in Illinois are aghast because pawn broker, Scott Lee Cohen, had overwhelmingly won the Democratic primary for Lieutenant Governor.
Cohen, a typical Chicago Democrat, had been arrested for attacking his live in prostitute girlfriend with a knife.
In addition, Cohen’s ex wife claimed that he was physically abusive and engaged in fits of rage and sexually aggressive behavior before their divorce, and skipping out on child support payments while he spent millions on his campaign.
Now the powers to be, are hoping to get rid of him before the general election but can’t. He was officially elected by the people and he is constitutionally qualified, so they can’t change the law to suit their needs.
