Well of course he does. Hastert is a crapweasel RINO compromiser in the finest tradition of a long line of RINO compromisers like Trent Lott, Bob Dole and the venerable silk sock country club RINO himself, Bob Michael. I wouldn't trust Hastert as far as I can throw Jerold Nadler. When Hastert hired that Red China lobbyist, Nancy Dorn, for a senior staff position, that did it for me.
To coin a phrase: "Compassionate conservatism in action"....RINO's leading the way.
