Who will vote Democrats out?

The stench of corruption emanating from Springfield has become so overpowering that it is difficult to believe that the millions of voters who blindly vote for Democrats are not disgusted with the almost daily stories of corruption and malfeasance in state government.

Citizens in Illinois pay a heavy price as a result of the corruption and malfeasance in the Democrat-controlled legislature and in 2012 voters will have the opportunity to express their outrage by sweeping Democrats out of office.

However, as we have learned from previous general elections, about 50 percent of all voters are either too lazy or apathetic to even vote; so to assume that in 2012 Democratic voters will suddenly say, “Enough is enough” is probably a mistake and the likelihood is that the corruption and malfeasance in Springfield will continue — albeit to a smaller degree.

Will the voters punish Democrats in 2012 by sweeping them out of office? I doubt it and I predict that Democrats will retain control of the legislature and Illinois will remain the laughingstock of the country.
