Dold’s voting record was so awful he made my Democrat Congressman look like Jesse Helms. He could’ve switched parties without altering his voting record and still been on the far-left side of the Democrats. It’s astonishing how he could even win a Republican primary with such an abysmal record.
Kirk apparently did the same song-and-dance in 2000 and fooled some conservatives into thinking he an "improvement" over John Porter and would "vote more conservatively"
Still, there's no excuse for Mark Shaw to continuously back rabidly pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, gun-grabbing leftists RINOs for state legislature, congress, and the U.S. Senate (ESPECIALLY when they were being opposed by more conservative candidates in the primary), which is what Shaw's track record is as Lake County GOP chairman, and 10th District committeeman.
