Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but the letter “Republicans forsake their core beliefs” in the SV Weekend on Feb. 2 reeks of political bigotry and hypocrisy.

The author decries the federal Republican gerrymandering in 2010, but conveniently ignores the blatantly unethical, state of Illinois Democratic redistricting in 2012.

He bemoans the loss of representational government and accuses Republicans of scheming to steal elections, but turns a blind eye to Chicago voter fraud and an elected governor who carried only three Illinois counties.
