Roskam is being strong armed by the DC establishment to give cover for Kirk. Remember Roskam’s district went big for Obama last year. The DC establishment told Roskam, “No support for Kirk means no support for you.”
Roskam will have to choose if supporting the Combine is more important than his Conservative credentials. With his support of Kirk, he is proving himself to be a 100% gold-plated phony.
That's a rather suicidal attitude. I have trouble believing they could be quite that stupid.
I figure he's just going along to get along. A far too common practice.
