In the race for governor, it’s not just Republican versus Democrat — there’s a new voice trying to elbow in.
WGN’s Courtney Gousman talks to the Libertarian candidate fighting for your vote in November, Chad Grimm.
We need to send a message we are tired of the 2 parties that if your opposed to them they will try to destroy you.
He is the libertarian party candidate, do you know what his party platform is?
Click on his page and look at his party platform on abortion, gay marriage, gay adoption, homosexualizing the military the border and so on.

I’ll post a couple for you.
1.4 Personal Relationships
Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the government’s treatment of individuals, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration or military service laws.
1.5 Abortion
Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.
I don’t think we’re gonna see any Liberians elected to anything right now.
What the party platform argues for and what the party nominee believes in are not always the same thing.
The Illinois Republican Party platform is pro-life, but their nominee for Governor is pro-abortion.
The Illinois Libertarian Party platform is pro-abortion, but their nominee for Governor is pro-life.
The democrats tossed the greens off the ballot, but they left the Libertarians. Gee, I wonder why.
I think we’re going to see the Republican Party platform change to what the Democrat Party Platform was in the 90’s maybe in 2016.
When a person chooses the rabid full term abortion platform, full homosexuality and gay marriage adoption and military, and open borders party platform deliberately, then I won’t support him and his party.
Instead of listening to his and Ted Kennedy’s protests, look at what party they are trying to advance, which platform all their success and popularity will feed.
Would you really support a democrat Governor candidate because he says he personally disagrees with an element of his party’s platform, an unequivocally clear and foundational element of his party’s platform and ideology, and national goal?
How is he on the border? How is he on gay marriage? etc etc
It keeps saying he is “Pro-Life”... what does it mean? Does that mean he would support and sign a ban on abortion? Or is he only “personally opposed” but doesn’t want to stop them?
There’s only 1 party in IL, the Combine.
He is full blown for homosexual marriage.
Which is why I could never vote for libertopians, leftists or so-called liberals of any party.
Now half of you vote for the Libertarian and the other half of you vote for the Republican; that’s the key to success.
Actually the GOP is reasserting it’s pro-life platform.
Now is not the time to give up and switch to a 100% pro-abortion party.
“”On January 22, thousands gathered on the National Mall in Washington for the annual March for Life that takes place on the date that Roe v. Wade was decided by the Supreme Court.
The same week, the Republican National Committee decided that it was time for the national party to wade back into the pro-life waters after a perceived hiatus from using it as a platform issue. A “Resolution on Republican Pro-Life Strategy” formally re-established abortion as a 2014 election issue for the party and seeks to push back on the “war on women” rhetoric that Democrats have made synonymous with the pro-life movement.
The RNC clearly believes once again that a prominent pro-life position plays well with voters. Perhaps the national party has taken note of what’s happening at the state level. Twenty-four states enacted 53 anti-abortion measures in 2013 alone.
Research from the pro-choice Guttmacher Institute shows that in the last three years, states have enacted an unprecedented 205 different abortion restrictions. This was made possible by the fact that over half of the states in the union have pro-life governors and pro-life majorities in their legislatures.””
Rauner is part of it with his buddy Rahm
Yup.
But don’t we have a Speaker of the House Bonehead celebrating with Nut Job Nancy giving money to Planned Parenthood
You can find other ways not to vote republican, rather than voting for even a worse party.
