I’ll say. How about something really novel, a Democrat who doesn’t vote Communist ? We already have enough who do, and their “Republican” pals like Double Cross.
Before the primary, all Illinois Republicans should have known that Cross is too liberal.
Lovely race. Cross on one side. And on the other, Mike Freichs, a real prince, pathological liar. I’d like to repeatedly kick Freichs in the testes to ensure he doesn’t propagate his bloodline any more than he already has (cute little daughter).

This is guy is such a weasel that he told all his GOP donors that he was against gay marriage throughout the fall session, then "changed his mind" and voted for it at the last minute when Madigan needed a third GOP vote to get the bill passed. No wonder Madigan has enjoyed a veto proof majority when Cross was the "Republican" opposition.
Right on cue, Diane Rauner, the Democrat wife of "Republican" gubernatorial nominee Bruce Rauner, just took out a full page ad in the Chicago Tribune about how Bruce will "protect reproductive rights".
Cr@p like this makes it hard for me to be sympathetic to the crybabies in other states screaming "RINO!!!" at solidly conservative incumbents because the candidate doesn't yell "TEA PARTYYYYYYYYY!!!" loudly enough for them. They don't know how good they have it.
The word "RINO" is being abused to trash candidates that are 10X more conservative than true RINOs. You want to see what a RINO is? Come to Illinois and listen to Bruce Rauner ("our" nominee for Governor), Tom Cross ("our" nominee for Treasurer) and Judy Baar Topinka ("our" nominee for Comptroller) gloat about how liberal they are. THAT'S a Republican In Name Only. It's not an incumbent who votes like Ted Cruz but happens to live in Virginia most of the year.
To all the Tea Party crybabies in other states -- if you're sooo upset about having "RINOs" like Mike Enzi and Pat Roberts, we'll GLADLY take them in my state. It would be a vast improvement over what passes for "Republican" here.
