And this guy has the audacity to call himself a “Republican”.

He campaigned as a hard pro-abort from the get-go. No surprise here. Believe it or not, if you go back far enough, the Dems were pro-life voting like Bill Casey Sr. of PA. Many of the big names, Richie Daley, Michael Madigan, were pro-life due to the sentiments of ethnic Irish and Italians if not a deep seated conviction. The Republicans (Thompson, Percy, John B. Anderson) were generally of the Rockefeller pro-abort school, some as a matter of personal utilitarian conviction. Rauner is one of those types of Republicans, and the Dems just went SDS bat-guano crazy. Unfortunately, much of Illinois is composed of good folks held hostage by the ravenous Chicago machine. They got worn down and picked Rauner as a lesser of evils.

McCain calls himself a Republican. Nothing new using the term to sell snake oil.
