So in the opinion of Illinois Review to be a Republican means you must be anti-union. The only thing inexcusable that I see here is Illinois Review’s dictate that Republicans must stand against unions. Pathetic. This editorial is filled deep down with such hatred for unions it’s almost…creepy? Imagine being that ideologically bent that you think writing that editorial is a productive thing to do. Republicans, being so viciously anti-union in IL is just a minority-party mindset. Get over it. === There was a time when many Illinois Republican legislators supported organized labor and then Bruce Rauner won the governor’s race. Well, Bruce Rauner lost. And that vote was as much about putting Rauner in the rear-view mirror as it was about the issue itself. You can’t get bigger by getting smaller.===
