SiliconSorcerer Posted October 12, 2022 at 12:39 PM Share Posted October 12, 2022 at 12:39 PM (edited) My mom told me she just doesn't like Bailey, I asked why, she couldn't give me an answer. I told her she talked like a sausage. I think a lot of people have just based this on his voice being so annoying, But yes she will vote for Bailey and I've talked to several more that just weren't going to vote at all then and asked them so you like JB? I think some of them will vote now, can't say for sure but I'm twisting arms. I think a list of statements and LIE w/ brief explanations scrolling on the screen for the 30 seconds (or whatever) would be good, I can't believe the unemployment rate hike starting November 10th because he didn't pay if back when he could and blew it all isn't something businesses ae bringing up. Even the commie treasurer strongly recommended he pay this while they still the federal covid funds, It's 1.4 BILLION it has to hit employers and drive prices up. this state is just doomed regardless.

We owe billions to the feds now, and they probably blew it on the Illinois resident pre election handouts and property tax refunds up to 300.00, per household.

I just looked have the check sitting here 9-19-22 - $400.00 unless they are giving out money for something else, The family relief plan 2 billion, the tax relief part was 1,8 Billion. I think JB dumped another 50 million into his campaign as well, he has to win on his road to run for the presidential run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashdump Posted October 14, 2022 at 07:52 PM Share Posted October 14, 2022 at 07:52 PM I'm tired of hearing about Bailey's voice. It probably does sound strange to the city folks, but I would think if accents were something to be afraid of, then the Chicago accent should terrify you. That's the accent I hear from the crooks (I mean poiticians) when we get screwed over on whatever the usurpation of the day is in this God forsaken dump. Bailey's voice is a breath of fresh air. His "country twang" as some people describe it, is not uncommon at all down state. As a matter of fact, it is very soothing over the voices of fat boy or any other Chicago political prostitutes.

Well, I've read that Abraham Lincoln's voice had a nasally twang. And we all know that was obviously disqualifying in his case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiliconSorcerer Posted October 17, 2022 at 02:30 PM Share Posted October 17, 2022 at 02:30 PM Doesn't say much... The Federal Unemployment Tax Act requires employers to pay a 6% tax on an employee’s first $7,000 of their wages but offers a 5.4% tax credit. If Illinois still has a deficit come Nov. 10, Illinois businesses with partially lose their tax credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupled with his appearance, reminiscent (I think) of Gunnery Sgt Vince Carter (actor Frank Sutton), perhaps there's a Gomer Pyle thing going on for some urban voters.

I don' vote by a sound of a voice but what the voice means. Yep… I prefer a plain Midwest voice, Tom Brokaw, Johnny Carson etc. My speaking voice is more Midwestern than Chicago. Once, long ago, I found myself interpreting English, in a Parisian beer bar, between the French bartender and a couple from rural Scotland who had been awarded a vacation to Paris from an employer. Neither party could understand the other. Between my extensive knowledge of world beer styles and my easy to listen to Midwestern voice, the Scottish couple had a good evening out and the bartender received a much bigger tip. I got a couple free beers. The next evening I was cheerfully greeted by the bartender with “Monsieur, you have returned!”.

Doesn’t mean I won’t vote for Bailey, just means I think it takes a few years to reprogram your brain away from lefty thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
