I know I’m cynical but what’s in their hearts? Will they take the GOP even further left? The way I see it, you can’t parcel-out values. It’s a package deal. You can’t espouse traditional marriage but seek to expand welfare. You can’t embrace equality while touting affirmative action. That’s how we got into this mess.
When it comes right down to it the best way to help blacks is the best way to help America. Slash taxes and regulations to ease job creation.
The more people working, the more people get irritated about the welfare state.
Rauner is a RINO, but he’s what we’ve got. There really wasn’t a solid conservative running who could beat Quinn. Rauner is rich, connected and doing a great job with outreach. I suspect he’s cut a deal with Rahm to bailout Chicago. It won’t happen as it is too toxic a subject, but a Rauner victory will be good. Rauner just staying out of prison will be a victory in itself. It would be nice to see Quinn do a perp walk.
