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.
Bruce Rauner leaves much to be desired in his views. Still, his wealth is being used for a major GOTV operation, which should benefit conservatives and TEA Party supporters in November.
