He’s the best we have and the civil unions were supposed to be a compromise deal. They gave homosexuals the legal rights they demanded. We didn’t have the votes to stop it outright. Don’t make the perfect the enemy of the good. Rutherford’s a typical statewide GOP pol... except he did very well in urban areas and his minority outreach is top notch. It’s that minority vote that is critical here in IL.
“He’s the best we have...”
Are we supposed to fall for the ‘vote for the lesser of two evils’ jargon in regards to Rutherford? Sorry, Mark Kirk will be the last ‘vote for the lesser of two evils’ candidate I will ever vote for. If they are not traditional value candidates - forget it!
It’s time the GOP party pulled for the ‘best of the best candidates. If not, I do not forsee this as a viable party in the future.
