'Jim Ronca is an "phony Republican" who was promoted by the media and left-wing bloggers. Originally touted as "a staunch Republican" by Jennifer Hunter of the Chicago Sun-Times,[1] Ronca was quoted as saying, "I'm not only going to vote Democratic, I'm going to financially support the Democrats," and, "The Republicans in Washington are an embarrassment." However when Ronca's history of political donations was uncovered, a much different story was revealed. Going back to 1994, Ronca had made several donations primarily to Democrats.[2][3][4] Hunter herself came under fire for her article, which she blamed on her editor and the headline he wrote for the article, even though it was Hunter, not her editor, who wrote that Ronca was "a staunch Republican".[Citation Needed]
