I live in the peoples republic of illinois, where all the politicians are liberal & they might as well not have any parties

If we keep voting "R" even if they lie to us, they will just keep lying.

How does that make them different than the dems?

"...I come from...Illinois, where all politicians are liberals..."
I'm not trying to be preachy here, but you guys have to support and elect conservative Republicans in the primaries. If you send liberals to the general elections you will get liberals in public office.
Get organized and take over the party at precinct levels. You can do this if you march in with a bunch of like minded people. Don't try to tell me this is impossible; I've done it! From there you have your organization to build on to elect your conservative candidates in the primaries. Just voting ain't enough. You have to work your a--es off.
When do you start? RIGHT NOW. Most 'Pubs never do anything until a couple of weeks before an election.
