I dislike my republican congressman, Mark Kirk (of IL). He’s pro-spending increases, pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, pro-gun control, pro-illegal alien, and anti-Iraq surge. I emailed him four times, within the past 18 months, and I asked why he’s a Republican. I haven’t received a response. I sent an email to about 10 conservatives, who live in his district, and I asked them why he’s a Republican. None of them knew the answer.
Cause it’s IL. Let me guess on the letters to the editors: the Sun-Times did not print it.
You can’t get elected to anything in Villainois without playing that game - it’s just further proof that in urbanized states, party labels don’t mean anything. ;)
