The RINO report

The Examiner RINO = Republicans In Name Only When Republicans unapologetically embrace conservatism with the Reagan-Bush approach, they win--by landslides. When they "reach across the aisle" (i.e., abandon their principles) with the Ford-Dole-McCain approach, conservatives don't show up and they lose.

Below are the names of the Illinois GOP candidates running for governor and U.S. Senate. Some other Illinois candidates have also been listed in the links provided. If anything in their backgrounds sends up a red flag, it will be listed next to their names with a clickable link so you can determine for yourself whether or not you think it makes them a RINO. Also, just because a candidate does not have any issues listed next to their names doesn't mean they are not a RINO. In many cases, it just means that they are a first-time candidate who doesn't have much available on line about them. Additionally, this is a work in progress. As more red flags pop up on candidates, they will be added to the list. And if anyone has anything else to add, they can mention it in the "Comments" section at the bottom. And click here to get involved with the national RINO Hunt movement. The criteria is simple--if an action taken by a candidate is something most Tea Partiers, 9/12ers or other conservatives would never do or allow themselves to be associated with, then it belongs in the RINO Report.
