it’s so great that he’s the governor.  and now he’s helping the people of the state.

“I think about my parents a lot…” they have to be rolling in their graves.

another story, about some woman who he helped.  i’m sure she’s elderly.  with a bunch of small children.  and infants.

here it is…she’s a mom with an immigrant mother from mexico.  has two children.  they live in the near southside.  she gets up every morning at five o’clock because she has to be to work at 7 or 8.  she lives in a two-flat, which her mother owns.  her husband is gone.

she tippy-toes into the bedroom and kisses her boys good-bye.

goes out to a bus stop in the dark and cold of winter, to a subway train…to her job out by o’hare, and she has healthcare from all kids program, she puts in 8 or nine hours, if she’s lucky she’s maybe home by 6 or 6:30, and then…get the kids ready for bed…maybe if she’s lucky she has an hour to two to relax and watche her favorite tw shows…

and my policies have been all about that.

giving her a chance…protecting her…from people who would raise her taxes…

and then he just runs into LEGISLATIVE GRIDLOCK and he FIGHTS TOO HARD…and it AINT’A BOUT ME.  CHARGE IT TO MY HEART…LIFE STORIES I’VE HEARD ALONG THE WAY IN MY LIFE…

is he going to start crying?

now he wants the senators to look at the evidence…without proving any wrongdoing…

think about the DANGEROUT PRECEDENT THAT WILL BE SET…by throwing him out of office when there’s NO WRONGDOING.

THE IMPEACHMENT IS A DANGEROUS AND CHILLING PRECEDENT FOR THE FUTURE.

IMAGINE WHAT FUTURE GOVERNORS IN ILLINOIS WILL FACE…AND OTHER GOVERNORS IN OTHER STATES…WITH THIS DANGEROUS PRECEDENT…I’M ASKING YOU TO ACQUIT ME…IF YOU’RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT, EXTEND THIS PROCESS…DON’T SET A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT…

WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES…IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU…
