My Mother's family helped organize the GOP in Illinois. They were opposed to one human being owning another human being as chattel. They found slavery morally repugnant and were zealots in advocating its demise. My family has been GOP blue-blood.
That is how far back my roots run in the GOP. I have no roots in the Democratic Party. However, it is time for me to lay some down." Chicago Now

Welcome to the party, Mr. Schneider. |
I know who this guy is...and I'm betting a dollar to a donut he renegs before the end of the year. Schneider has been looking the other way to the screwed up social policy positions (and every other screwed up position) of the Republican party his entire adult life. He's either lying or he's gonna be on the short list of the shittiest conservative democrats in the state of Illinois.
