Unless someone can produce video proof that these video excerpts have been doctored and/or taken out of context OR that Washington was suffering from some sort of dementia, shouldn’t this be all we need to hear or know about Pat Quinn? Sure, you can say that a person should not be judged strictly by their past mistakes. Afterall, people have the capacity to learn, grow, and improve, and Quinn’s involvement with Washington was many moons ago. However, I have learned over my many years that you need to judge a tree by its fruit. What is Quinn’s fruit? Continued economic stagnation, budgeted dependence on federal stimulus money, growing budgetary deficits, expanded borrowing, reinforced distrust towards our state’s elected officials (and many of the state employees), expanded reliance on government handouts, steadfast determination to raise taxes, etc. etc. etc.
Can you show many any positive fruit? Please. Do tell.
