What is wrong with Illinois?

I am really disgusted today. What is wrong with Republicans in Illinois? Sometimes it is just so frustrating living here...

I have always held my nose & voted for Illinois Republicans because they were usually at least SLIGHTLY less liberal than the alternative. Now, they have nominated a candidate for U.S. Senate who not only voted for cap and trade as a congressman but is so extreme as to even support partial birth abortion! This crosses a line for me....I cannot in good conscience cast a vote for somebody who would vote to allow such a barbaric practice to continue. I would have loved to see this seat (especially since it was Obama's seat) go Republican, but it needs to be held by a REAL Republican or AT LEAST a reasonable facsimile of one. Mark Kirk most definitely IS NOT.

I will not vote for the democrat, so I guess I get to throw my vote away for this office this year...

It is such a shame that a TRUE Conservative can never seem to get any foothold in this state. This was really a missed opportunity...
