(COMMENT: After my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, no Republican elected official offered me a job. Far too many Republican elected officials in Illinois a) view me as being far too conservative; b) promote patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination; c) only want employees who are minority, female, younger than they are, veteran, share their religion, and/or share their national origin, d) only want employees who are blindly loyal to them personally, e) only want employees who they can manipulate/dominate, f) only want employees who glorify and praise them, g) only want employees who pander to them, h) only want employees who cover up their wrong doing, and/or i) only want employees who give them money.)
