The slur "Repugnicans", alluding to the GOP representatives being repugnant, is sadly fitting. The Republican party took another step into darkness when Arthur Jones became the single Republican candidate for an Illinois seat in Congress. Jones is a racist, an anti-semite and a holocaust denier. Yes. Seriously. What's more, he used to be the leader of the American Nazi party. This is beyond crazy. Having that kind of person unopposed on the ballot sends a very clear message that the Republican party is heading full speed into right wing lunacy. The GOP is a scary, ugly mess of angry old white men.
I'm thinking that Lincoln would probably not have approved.
