They eat their own

Illinois GOP Senator Peter Fitzgerald is not running for re-election, so he feels he can be more honest about his party in general:

The Republican Party cannot survive if we are not perceived as the more ethical party," because Democrats have a strong numerical advantage in the state, Fitzgerald said. "We have to throw the money changers out of our party, and its leadership must come from the ranks of those who are in politics for principled reasons."

Interesting for two reasons. One is that some Republicans actually have concerns about ethics (that's a joke, people). The other is it presents a line of attack for the Democratic party.

Remember the love that the GOP gave to Zell Miller, saying how much stronger his message was because he claimed to be a Democrat?

While it is fairly clear that the Democrats will take Illinois this fall, this kind of opening can be used almost anywhere.

Just a suggestion. I know there's no one here anyway.

*UPDATE* I know it is a little late, but maybe this one of the reasons for his ethical concerns:

Campaign mail with a return address of the Republican National Committee warns West Virginia voters that the Bible will be prohibited and men will marry men if liberals win in November.

Highly ethical, lying.
