Roskam is no Ted Cruz, and that’s bad

Posted October 23, 2013 4:40 am

I have just cut up and trashed the “Roskam for Congress” sign sitting in my garage since the last election. My current Rep. Peter Roskam, unlike my former Congressman Randy Hultgren, actually voted with the Democrats in the debt ceiling fiasco. Roskam is obviously a John Boehner drone interested first in his personal political ambitions before the good of his constituents.

I thoroughly despise and condemn how President Obama and his regime continue to destroy the future of my children and grandchildren with evil abominations like the disastrous Obamacare train wreck, and the infamous HHS mandate which unconstitutionally severely restricts our religious freedom and rights of conscience. But I respect Obama because, unlike Roskam, he stands fast for what he mistakenly believes.

I have been a lifelong Republican supporter, but in the future I will not vote for a Republican for any office unless he is a true conservative patriot like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee.
