Ever since Mark Kirk announced his campaign seeking the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat in Illinois currently held by Roland Burris there have been many "rumors" regarding Kirk's sexual preferences. Indeed, these "rumors" have been around for years concerning Mark Kirk, but they have been dismissed because of Kirk's relatively low political profile. Journalistically, it would have been irresponsible of me to go with the story for a number of reasons.

Some have asked me why I did not address the allegations Kirk was possibly a homosexual and, for any honest journalist, the answer should be obvious. My reply was: If someone comes to me with incriminating evidence regarding Kirk's sexuality, I would consider it a story. It would take an individual coming forward with photos, videotapes, and/or communications back and forth indicating a homosexual relationship which Kirk took place in. My standards would have been very high before running with the story. Of course, this is in contrast to modern day journalism which has abandoned the true tenets of the profession. However, in many cases, the tabloids, including the National Enquirer, have been more accurate in their coverage of controversial issues. This is a sad statement when the tabloid press can be trusted more than the mainstream media. Yes, the tabloids have stories about UFO abductions, wild conspiracy theories and other issues meant to titillate the public.

There is the troublesome little fact that his spokesman ALREADY DENIED IT. Eric Elk, the campaign manager for Kirk, said in a statement that "the ad is not true and is degrading to the political process. The people of Illinois deserve better." Why didn't Kirk do it himself, you ask? Because right now he's defending the right of scumbags like Martin to slander him by serving his country in uniform. Hate Kirk for being a RINO all you want, but this attack is really beyond the pale. http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/1961750,mark-kirk-gay-attack-ad-election-122809.article

That’s right. No one cares if Kirk packs fudge or not. We don’t like that he’s a liberal RINO. Say he’s straight and Larry Craig ran against him for something, I’d for Craig.

And yes Hoosier, Martin is not the candidate to back. With his history the rat would cream him in November.

There are 3 viable conservatives in the race. Don Lowery, Patrick Hughes, and John Arrington.
