Nancyboy Kirk is likely the single sorriest excuse for a "GOP" US Senator.
He CLAIMS to be a fiscal conservative on those rare occasions when he finds it expedient and then votes like Ted Kennedy used to. Any distinction between Nancyboy Kirk and, say, Susan Collins favors Collins.
Would you trust Nancyboy with your guns? To babysit your children? To decide on whether your daughter can sneak off to an abortion mill without your knowledge or consent? To decide whether Barry can marry Larry? Why not in each case?
Then there is the matter of "fiscal conservatism" whatever that may mean to him or to you. He sure won't get in the way of the endless GOP-Elite schemes to line Muffy's trust fund with generally special interest ill-gotten gains at the expense of ordinary taxpayers. Nor will he resist further bonded indebtedness of the federal government or of the state governments or of local governments, all of which indebtedness enriches his polo club, ummm, ummm, "buddies" and contributors. Nor will he lift a finger to actually REDUCE the size of Akinskyite programs of government nor eliminate useless regulations of our lives and of small business. Nor will he flip a privileged tiddleywink to slash the welfare state lest he harm the overall political alliance of zillionaires and gummint dependents.
Nancyboy will do NOTHING to reverse the devastation of the middle class carried out by Obozo nor, as he frankly admits, to disturb the re-election campaign of Nancyboy's pal, little Dick Durbin. Is Durbin a "fiscal conservative" like Kirk? Kirk claims that he and Dickie are in "partnership" on behalf of the people of Illinois. Or was that THE People of Illinois?
Having Kirk in the Senate continues to be worse than just another garden variety Demonrat since he gets to attend GOP caucus meetings so as to report back to Dickie Durbin, to Planned Barrenhood, to GLAAD, to various gun grabber groups and to his other natural allies on the Left.
McCain is a fraud. Romney is a fraud. Ryan is a fraud. Boehner is a fraud. McConnell is a fraud. BUT, most of all, Nancyboy Kirk is a fraud. The sooner he is erased from the Senate and from public life the better. He is nothing but UpChuck Percy in a new skin and with even less "fiscal conservatism."
Know of any "fiscally conservative" bills co-sponsored by Nancyboy with Ted Cruz? Neither do I.
Better to eliminate Nancyboy and a lot of allegedly "Republican" Illinois officeholders, take away the lobbyists' and zillionaires interest in controlling what passes for the Republican Party here and start over with a rampagingly populist, SOCIAL, military, pro-gun, low tax on ordinary folks, anti-public employee pension, smaller government and, only them, what the plutocrats please to call "fiscal conservatism."
Also, the only difference between Nancyboy Kirk and the unlamented Lowell P. Weicker, Jr., is about a foot in height and the fact that Weicker disgraces Yale as an alumnus while Nancyboy disgraces Cornell. They are equally treasonweasels to anything remotely conservative in any meaningful sense.
