Hmmm... I see you are unable to understand voting records too. What part of 90% conservative rating don't you get?
Let me spell it out for you in simple language.
Your RINOs in Maine are 100% pro-abortion. Check the primary results in Illinois and let me know how our pro-abort Republicans did in primaries where they had real competition. Just because YOUR state's "Republican voters" want liberals, it doesn't mean Illinois Republicans think that way.
Just because YOUR "Republican" Senators supported the federal airline bailout doesn't mean Fitzgerald did.
Just because YOUR "Republican" Senators supported Clinton during Monicagate, it doesn't mean Fitzgerald did.
Just because YOUR "Republican" Senators supported the marrriage and death taxes, it doesn't mean Fitzgerald did.
Just because YOUR "Republican" Senators opposed across-the-board tax cuts, it doesn't mean Fitzgerald did.
Just because YOUR "Republican" Senators supported massive new funding for the NEA, it doesn't mean Fitzgerald did.
Just because YOUR "Republican" Senators oppposed Missile Defense System Testing, it doesn't mean Fitzgerald did
Just because YOUR "Republican" Senators supported federal "Hate Crimes" laws, it doesn't mean Fitzgerald did.
Just because YOUR "Republican" Senators supported Carol Moseley-Braun for "ambassador" to New Zealand, it doesn't mean Fitzgerald did.
Just because YOUR "Republican" Senators want to force the boy scouts to hire openly homosexual scoutmasters, it doesn't mean Fitzgerald did.
Just because YOUR "Republican" Senators supported the Jeffords Dairy Cartel, it doesn't mean Fitzgerald did.
Just because YOUR "Republican" Senators opposed the Hatch amendment that forced union goons to provide detailed disclosure of funds spent on political activities, it doesn't mean Fitzgerald did.
Just because YOUR "Republican" Senators want to do away with the electoral college,, it doesn't mean Fitzgerald did.
And so on with hundreds of more votes.
I, of course, understand your frustration with your "Republican" Senators. I'd be upset with my Senator, too, if he voted with the Democrats half the time. Of course he doesn't. Maybe you want to drag Illinois down to your level and PRETEND he does because it makes things sound better. Unfortuntely for you, those gosh darn facts shows that Fitzgerald wouldn't be caught dead voting for half the stuff your girls vote for.
Oddly enough, there WAS an Olympia Snowe-clone in Illinois primary. Her name was Loleta Dickerson and she ran in the Republican primary a couple years back. She was handily defeated by NONE OTHER than U.S. Senator Peter Fitzgerald! Maybe you have their names confused. You see, all the Illinois Republicans who support the types of things that Snowe supporters were OUTRAGED when Fitzgerald won. They insisted the only Republicans who "could win" were liberals. Remember "No one as ANTI-CHOICE and INTOLERANT as Fitzgerald will win in Illinois?" I sure do.
Well, sorry about Loleta. I figure the Republicans in Maine will take her (and please, feel free to have her since you can't tell the difference between her and Fitz! ROTFL!) ...but here in Illinois, we only let real Republicans get the nomination for the U.S. Senate.
