Froehlich's Party that runs everything?

via Eric Krol,

Republican state Rep. Paul Froehlich jumped ship Monday and left behind the Schaumburg GOP organization he controlled for nearly a decade. “I’m going to be part of the party that runs everything,” Froehlich said in explaining his switch to the Democratic Party. “I can’t do for my district in the minority what I would do in the majority.”

Far as I can tell the party-that-runs-everything sees no solutions for Illinois but an income tax hike, and none of its leaders have testicular virility enough to ask for it.

No brains, no virility; they just run everything and I guess that's reason to join them.

That won't last.

Update: A quote from Greg that deserves repeating.

The big story remains and will continue to remain the budget. If, actually IF Democrats can come to some sort of agreement on the budget that raises taxes they will be have deal with a House Republican Leader and his caucus that has repeatedly and firmly stated that they are against any tax increases. They will be necessary to pass a budget and the left and their minions in the press will be relentless in trying to force them to surrender. Given the current opposition to tax hikes, if Republicans go wobbly now it will surely mean a new depth to the party's woes. All eyes should be on that and the center-right should be excited and ready to support Cross' efforts to hold the line.

And a Republican Leader Cross by the way who chair's Giuliani's campaign in Illinois, so so much for the notion Theocrats have hijacked a GOP away from Froehlich.
