Lol. He’s unopposed in the GOP because it’s a heavily Democratic district. I see a record breaking defeat in his future... and maybe a Fox News contributor after that.

All you need is an old dodge cop car...
That has a 440 big block, cop motor, cop tires, cop suspension cop shocks.
A model before catalytic converters. So it'll run good on regular gas.
Run the acronym for the Illinois Nazis in that movie - the American Socialist White People's Party.

ASWhiPe

Always wanted to find out if Landis planned that.

Every once in a while around this country of 330million some crackpot Nazi or rapid socialist with extreme views runs for office and the other party jumps all over it to try to broad brush the party.

So, basically how do you feel about Lyndon Larouche and his anti-semetic views being in the democratic party since 1979?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_LaRouche

Given what you just wrote, you have to accept Larouche as a democrat even if the party itself wasn't in love with the guy (big understatement).

Great link there, you can read up on all his great actions like when he joined with the Nation of Islam to condemn the ADL. Oh those wacky democrats banding together against the common enemy....hey wait....I bet that Nazi guy in Chicago would join in with them, see compromise!

Thats going to leave a mark.
It's a waste of money in a district where 90% of the voters are Democrat sheeple.

I predict that things such as this will especially motivate younger voters and increase the number of them who will go to the polls.

I wonder if you read your own link. As you can see from the response by the RNC, they don't want anything to do with him, much less as you claim that they are "proud."

“The Illinois Republican Party and our country have no place for Nazis like Arthur Jones,†Tim Schneider, chairman of the Illinois Republican Party, told the Sun-Times. “We strongly oppose his racist views and his candidacy for any public office, including the 3rd Congressional District.â€

Gov. Bruce Rauner released a statement Monday: "There is no room for Neo Nazis in American politics. I condemn this man in the strongest possible terms.â€
the other things is that the republican party couldnt find anyone to run against him in the primary.

yep, one does not hold racist views for as long as byrd did, and then suddenly claim it was a mistake.

Um, if you lose an election will you blame "The Jews" like Cynthia McKinney's campaign did?

Remember her from the US Senate not that long ago?

Heck, you may have voted for her and have very likely given money to her campaign either directly or via contributions to the DNC.

How long have you been supporting these anti-semetics?

Plenty of anti-semites on the left these days. A Washington DC politician (Democrat) claimed the other day that "Jews control the weather".

Mathguy, I think you must have intended to reply to a different post, because nothing you said has any connection with what I said.
