Republicans and TEA party are the 2 party system in Colorado Springs home of Focus on the Family.
I have never lived in a Liberal or democratic controlled area.
Well, that's not completely true. Texas when I first became active in politics did not have a Republican party.
It had liberal Democrats, moderate Democrats, and conservative Democrats. Everyone else was just scalawags and carpetbaggers dragging Uhauls down from New York City. Eventually, those carpetbaggers took over Texas politics and the Republican party displaced all the southern democrats.
