Mark Kirk: Earth Day Message - Reclaiming Teddy Roosevelt's Mantle [RINO Panders to Leftists Again]

Chicago Republican Party ^ | Apr 22, 2010 | Mark Kirk

[BillyBoy]

Once again, "Republican" Mark Kirk panders to the far-left, in this case, it's the tree-hugger crowd. He repeats the standard talking points of the left ("green jobs", "alternative energy", etc.) and gives the GOP base the middle finger. On an official Republican party website, no less!

Check out EARTH DAY PREDICTIONS OF 1970 if you think anyone should take the agenda of Kirk and his fellow gaia worshippers seriously in 2010.

If any freepers are going to argue that Kirk is still "miles better than any Democrat on this issue" and "the best we can get in Illinois", spare me. Have you looked at Kirk's ratings lately from envirowacko groups? He's SO liberal that he was rated to the LEFT of Obama on enviromental causes last year and the Sierra Club & League of Conservation Voters actually endorsed Marky over the socialist Obama clone nominee on the Dem side. Just how nutty do you have to be when tree huggers swoon over you because you're "more progressive than Obama" and "the greenest candidate in the race"? Marky Mark should have run as the Green Party's nominee for the seat, he already votes like they would. Green on the outside, RED on the inside.

I think this at least proves that Kirk's newfound "opposition" to the cap n' trade bill he had VOTED for is like Kirk's newfound oppositon to Obamacare during the primary (which has he since backtracked on). Kirk doesn't regret voting for cap n' trade, he regrets that conservatives found out it and forced him to pretend to be a real Republican for a few months.

!! He's so full of B.S.

Ping.

Come on over here and spout your, “Kirk is right of center” nonsense.

He is as far left if not farther than any candidate, of either party in Illinois.

[Maelstorm]

BillyBoy you have this right on the money. Mark Kirk is the worst possible candidate. He will be to the left of everyone in the Senate currently on the Republican side. He gets a 100% rating from NARAL which is just unbelievable. He is the darling of Gay rights activists and environmentalist wackos.

[GeronL]

The baby harp seal chili was pretty good.

[IncPen]

Kirk is a good reason that we should identify ourselves as conservatives and not republicans...

[Snickering Hound]

No more Illinois Republicans with Star Trek names please.

[BillyBoy]

Cap n' traitor Mark Kirk does bear a strong resemblance to the Evil Captain Kirk from the Star Trek episode "The Enemy Within", especially that little wicked smirk and beady eyes he flashes whenever he's about to betray his shipmates and/or rape Yeoman Rand.

“I’M SENATOR KIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRK !!! I’M SENNNNATTTTOOOOOORRRR KIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRKKKK !!!”

[stars & stripes forever]

Surely there’s some good conservative in Illinois we can vote for US Senate.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Well, I’ve tentatively endorsed the Independent Conservative Eric Wallace, who refused to participate in that disgusting GOP primary which was nothing but a Combine-orchestrated dog and pony sideshow to clear out serious challengers via threats.

[BillyBoy]

Dr. Eric Wallace is indeed an excellent conservative patriot looking into filing for the U.S. Senate. There is also Randy Stufflebeam, the 2006 Constitution Party candidate. Joe Bell is considering a run as well, and Mike Labno is the pro-life Libertarian candidate.

I'm holding off endorsing anyone until the filing period is over and we see who emerges as the most viable anti-Kirk candidates. They're all far superior to Kirk. Let the chips fall where they may.

The past week, our Republican nominee for Governor, Bill Brady, and Eric Wallace, have been speaking at tea party events across the state, while Kirk is out in Chicago for "Earth Day" speaking to far-left disciples of Ira Einhorn and Gaylord Nelson. That in itself speaks volumes.

[fieldmarshaldj]

I know I've said it several times, I cannot get over how much Eric Wallace looks like a young Sen. Ed Brooke. Keep him away from Barbara Walters...

[BillyBoy]

Maybe the marxist Democrats and RINO lovers will get confused and vote for him. ;-)

Surely there’s some good conservative in Illinois we can vote for US Senate.

That would be me. I have a simple platform that I can explain right here:

First, Tax Cuts and more Tax Cuts to spur economic growth. Slash the rates on the 50% of us that actually do pay taxes by at least 50%. For those who do not pay taxes because of all the tax "credits" they receive I'd propose legislation to eliminate those tax credits. Everyone either has skin in the game and pays their fair share (that includes the "poor") or our country is lost.

Second, I'd demand and introduce legislation for a forensic audit of the entire Federal Budget. I'm betting more than 50% of it is waste and fraud upfront, and another 33% or so can get cut.

Third, the following departments would be eliminated:
- Department of Education
- Department of Energy
- Commerce Department
- Housing and Urban Development

These departments alone employ almost 80,000 people at a cost of over 70 billion dollars a year.

I would then propose legislation to demote the EPA from a cabinet level position, eliminate all the "Czars", and immediately sell off all governmenet interests in the Banking and Automobile industries.

Fourth, I'd sponsor (and work my ass off to get this one passed...) a bill to withdraw the United States from the "United Nations." What a waste of our money!

Fifth, I'd want funding to complete the PHYSICAL WALL between the United States and Mexico to end illegal immigration. There would be NO "immigration reform" (translation: AMNESTY) until every single illegal alien has been deported. My version of immigration reform would be simple: You're welcome to come here legally. If we find you here illegally you have no Constitutional rights on which to rely on, and you should count yourself lucky to find yourself back home alive instead of in a body bag (such as Mexico does to its southern neighbors.)

Finally, heartless son of a bitch that I am, I'd end welfare, food stamps, section-8 housing and any other Government program I could find that enables people to sit on their fat, lazy, government cheese eating asses all day and suck off the productivity of hard working, tax paying Americans such as you and I, and force the fat lazy bastards to find a job!

Those last two would actually be an Executive Orders, and y'all would have to get me elected President to do that ...

Good luck with that! :-)

Eric Wallace is going to have to get going if he is to succeed by November. Does he have a financial base?

[stars & stripes forever]

Do you think Eric Wallace will actually run for Senate? Does he have a base throughout the state?

[PhilCollins]

I agree with the majority of your ideas, but I think that Congress should also eliminate the Dept. of Health & Human Services, since it violates the 10th Amendment.

I agree that Congress should reform welfare. Each year, some federal tax money is sent, from states that have low poverty rates, to Washington, DC. The money is redistributed and sent, in welfare benefits, to states that have high poverty rates. Each state government should be responsible for the welfare needs of its residents.
Congress should eliminate food stamps, HUD, an unemployment beneits, which is about 20% of the budget. If they do that, they would pass an across-the-board 20% tax rate cut.

[PhilCollins]

I worked for Eric Wallace’s campaign, last fall, and, last week, he told me that he might run, as an independent. He thinks that he might win. Yes, he has a base. Many conservatives would vote for him, because he’s conservative, and many Blacks would vote for him, because he’s black.
