Combiner Kirk needs to go down in flames.
My mom told me she’s gonna ask a newly elected State Rep she knows from pro-life circles to run against him, Peter Breen. He beat RINO State Rep Sandy Pihos last year to win his job.
I doubt he’ll leave it to tilt at Kirk though.
Superb analysis, and well written..
“The national GOP apparatus is all in for Kirk”...and that’s a perfect example of the hypocrisy rampant inside the Beltway. Joni Ernst, who introduced the bill to defund Planned Parenthood, and was one of its most passionate advocates, is also a Vice Chair of the NRSC. So now she, along with Tom Cotton will will be allocating resources and money to Kirk’s campaign. That’s disgusting, and total madness. There are so many other races we should be focusing on.
Kirk is obviously scum, and everyone knew it all along. But would it really be better if Alexi Giannoulias was the Senator in Illinois? At least Kirk is good for an occasional vote.
It was a classic Combiner fix. The fake Republican gets the Senate seat while the actual GOP winner of the Governor’s race (a non-Combiner) “lost” in 2010.
What’s a combiner?
Do you live in Illinois ? The Combine is the corrupt bipartisan cabal that has effectively controlled state politics for decades. It dictates who will run for office and who won’t, who will be allowed to win and who won’t. When the rare instance that a non-Combiner wins a race (such as Sen. Peter Fitzgerald in 1998), their mission is to destroy said candidate and either defeat them or run them out of office (or the state). Fitzgerald faced 6 straight years of non-stop attacks from Combiner thugs (led by “Republican” Ray LaHood). He opted not to run for a second term in 2004 because he was fed up with having to fight both the mostly Combiner Democrats and the Combiner-infested corrupt GOP. This paved the way for Zero to get his Senate seat and then the Presidency. LaHood’s reward for doing so was a Cabinet seat, given to him by Zero on a silver platter for running Fitzgerald out of office.
Without the Combine, you’d have never had Zero end up as President.
No, not from Illinois. Sounds corrupt and disgusting!
Very bad, with horrible national repercussions.
I agree that Sen. Kirk should lose. On June 6, Ron Wallace, a conservative, who has lived in Northbrook and Wilmette, announced that he’s running in that race. Since then, he was interviewed on a Bloomington radio station, and he got some county coordinators. Unlike Kirk, Wallace is pro-life, pro-gun rights, anti-illegal alien, pro-tax cuts, and pro-spending cuts. If you use facebook, please like his page, “Ron Wallace for U.S. Senate.” If you use twitter, please follow him @Vote4Wallace. He has about 27,000 followers.
He is trying to move to the left of Duckworth, he is going to lose and is an embarrassment.
On some issues, Kirk is already more liberal than Duckworth. I read that she has a higher rating from the Heritage Foundation.
You’re right. Just looked at Heritage. Duckworth got an 18% rating and Kirk’s was 17%.

Pretty sad when the rat has a higher rating as a conservative. I noticed that Kirk is already running commercials, he can blow all the money he wants it won’t change a thing.
It it weren’t for the combine we could primary him out.
Maybe, Kirk will lose his primary. We shouldn’t care what the combine says.
Problem is that we need an independently wealthy individual to run, someone who is willing to take on the bipartisan corruption (a la Trump). If they don’t have any $$, you can write them off. Who in IL is up for said challenge ?
Ron Wallace, a conservative who has lived in Northbrook and Wilmette, announced, on June 6, that he’s running for the U.S. Senate. Since then, he was interviewed on a Bloomington radio station, and he got some county coordinators, including for Lake, Will, and McLean Counties. The Aug. 5 issue of the Glenview Journal has an article about him. On Thurs., he was interviewed by the Daily Herald political editor. I don’t know how much money Ron has, but, since he’s lived in rich suburbs, he probably knows some rich Republicans who will donate to his campaign.

I’m sure he’s a fine man, but he’s going to need probably in the range of $10 million, perhaps higher, in order to be remotely competitive (and that just for the primary).
I’ll never vote for him again. Ever. For any reason.
