Yes Pat Quinn is a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT, but he's a chicago/IL liberal democrat. Our state's "Liberal" yet we don't get any of the benefits of being a liberal state...well we get the high taxes.... For the most part the only real liberals in Chicago/IL politics are the Black Politicians.

You have to remember 99% of these politicians in IL say they're liberal's just to get people to vote for them. Some especially in Chicago (Mayor Daley looking at you...) are only democrats to capture the black vote. None of our liberal politician are truly liberal.

Hell George Bush celebrated a landmark birthday (his 60th birthday) in Chicago hanging out with one of his best buddies Mayor Daley (Bush could have had a party with dignitaries or people of his own Party) instead he celebrated it in Chicago one of the most "liberal" cities in America and in one of the most historic "liberal" states in America....
Don't believe me read this...Also I use to wait tables down town and from what I heard through the grape vines was that Bush and Daley had one rowdy night of drinking...I highly doubt Bush met up with "opinion leaders". LOL what a joke.
