Lurker is one of my favorites here. I won't hold anything against him. I'm surprised at his decision though to back Kirk, who is one of the biggest gun-banners in Washington.
His was an over-the-top slanderous charge against Conservatives of good character trying to stop the next Benedict Arnold in the GOP Senate caucus, and I do hold it against him.
My decision to vote for Kirk is one of the toughest I’ve ever made. I loathe him. I didn’t vote for him in the primary. But dammit man this race may very well decide control of the Senate. Now is not the time to support a third party candidate.
I know Kirk is a frigging RINO and probably as gay as Barney Frank. But here in Illinois we are dealing with Dick Durbin and Roland Burris. Even if Kirk votes with the Republicans 50% of the time he’ll be light years better than Alexi.
And this race is so tight that any vote for any other candidate no matter how ideologically pure IS a vote for the Dem. Thats just the way things are.
And if this race is close enough the Chicago Machine will steal it. Those are the facts. The time for opposing Kirk is over. Period. End of sentence.
