CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Gov. Bruce Rauner says he’s a centrist while Republican, Democratic parties dominated by extremes – Rick Pearson (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. Since at least 1977, the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) has been dominated by anti-conservative extremists. These anti-conservative extremists reject the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and/or other planks in the IRP platform. These anti-conservative extremists do everything that they can to drive conservatives out of the IRP, that is, they do everything that they can to destroy the IRP.)

— Rauner reaching out to suburban women – Rick Pearson
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-attorney-general-editorial-board-meeting-20180924-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Suburban women have been a critical factor in deciding special elections this year and, amid their dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner is reaching out in a new ad. The ad features Anne Wedner, a former backer of President Barack Obama, who is founder of Kent Road Strategies, who has worked on Democratic and Republican campaigns with a focus on the North Shore. Billing herself as a lifelong Democrat, Wedner touts her childhood support for the Equal Rights Amendment and her dissatisfaction with national politics — a distancing effort from Trump aimed at helping Rauner in the suburbs while he seeks Trump supporter backing Downstate. “Today, I’m not happy with Washington and I’m also heartbroken about Illinois,” she says. “We have to fix our financial problems and Bruce Rauner is the only candidate with the courage to do it,” she adds. Wedner goes on to say the election “isn’t about party politics. This is about saving our state.” The suburban collar counties voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton over Trump — except for McHenry County — in the 2016 presidential and there are GOP fears that moderate suburban women will be a major factor in Illinois’ November elections because of the controversial president. The ad can be viewed here.)

— Protestant leaders to Cardinal Cupich: Condemn priest who burned rainbow flag – Michael Sneed (DIERSEN: One could say that Rev. Paul Kalchik gave ammunition to those who promote LGBTQ activity.)

— Tax Reform 2.0 is just another GOP scam to benefit the wealthy – Editorial (DIERSEN: Roskam should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/tax-cuts-republican-congress-midterm-elections/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Plus, 2.0 would make more cuts to the estate tax that’s paid by only about 5,000 wealthy families — while permanently capping the $10,000 SALT (state and local tax) deduction that millions of taxpayers use. There’s more, but you get the drift.)

WASHINGTON POST
— ‘I know his heart’: Ashley Estes Kavanaugh revives old-fashioned script in newfangled era – Isaac Stanley-Becker (DIERSEN: Are you married? I have been married for 40 years. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious when I got married in 1978. They had always painted me as being someone who so bad that no one would marry me. Many of them were never married, were divorced, had spouses who had little or no income, and/or had major marital problems.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/09/25/i-know-his-heart-ashley-estes-kavanaugh-revives-old-fashioned-script-in-newfangled-era/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fighting to save his Supreme Court nomination, Kavanaugh was joined by his wife Monday for a Fox News interview. Ashley Estes Kavanaugh is a town manager in the Washington, D.C., suburbs and a former aide in George W. Bush’s White House, where she and Kavanaugh met. The interview was powerful proof that, even in the #MeToo moment, Wynette’s call to “show the world you love him” still carries weight, as it did for Clinton, even though she disparaged the song. The comparison is especially fitting given Kavanaugh’s role — as associate counsel in the office of independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr — in proposing sexually explicit questions for President Bill Clinton to answer about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Asked by Fox’s Martha MacCallum whether she doubted her husband, the mother of two daughters replied, “No. I mean, I know Brett — I’ve known him for 17 years.” “And,” she continued, as her husband glanced sideways to look plaintively at her, “this is not at all characteristic. It’s really hard to believe. He’s decent. He’s kind. He’s good. I know his heart. This is not consistent with Brett.”)
