Believe it or not I voted straight R in the Soviet Republic of Illinoisistan, this year, and the last 4 election cycles. My quarterly donations to the RNC ceased a while ago...right around the time Bush's shamnesty program was being touted. So if you want to somehow refer to me as "a teaching them a lesson" I guess you might have some leg to stand on there.
Pfft...my "representative" in Congress is former black panther Bobby Rush. I know full well what dems in power can do, and how dead people can vote...(multiple times too)
Yes, I even voted for Judy Barr-Topinka (RINO) for governor of Illinois. So don't give me any $hit about staying home.
My (as well as many others) displeasure with the national, and in my case, the Illinois republican party is damn well founded.
