Nonsense.

As liberal as Kirk is on social issues, he’s a pretty decent fiscal conservative and that trumps the other IMHO.

As an old football coach delicately put it, “When $#!T meets $#!T, someone still has to win.

I still believe that fiscal conservatism will lead to social conservatism. Once you cut the funds off for goofy ideas, they die.

And if you can't rid a RINO in the primary you rid them in the general.....that way the SCUMBAG RINOs get a message they CAN'T ignore....

I'll take a ‘Rat for 2 years before I reelect a SCUMBAG RINO.

Also once you get a RAT incumbent here in Illinois you will never get them out short of death or an orange jump suit. It will be a lot easier to primary out Kirk than to try ot beat an incumbent dem. The reason we have a shot in Illinois this year is because both the Senate seat and Governor were being filled by placeholders. Look at the trouble we have taking out Durbin and you will see just how hard it is to remove a sitting democrat no matter how bad they are.

The Tea party in Illinois needs to get serious and start winning primaries and stop throwing tantrums. And above all else stop splitting votes. They split the vote in the primary and that is why we have Kirk in the first place. Now they want to split the vote in the general and hand the election to the dems on a silver platter.

bigbob:

Would lavender Markie's vote for Cap 'n' Tax be an example of that "fiscal conservatism?" I don't want $5-7 a gallon gasoline or similar run ups for heating fuel just to satisfy the brie and chablis set in both parties. If he voted for Cap 'n' Tax while he was already the GOP Senate nominee but facing election, just imagine what a wonder he would be AFTER being elected to a six year term. Thanks, but no thanks.

Also, if we have to choose between social conservative and fiscal conservative (lavender peace creep gungrabber Markie is neither), I'm going with social conservative every time. If your taxes rise, then you would be better advised to remember to see to it that mere fiscal "conservatism" (if there is such a thing) is NOT enough. Markie certainly is $#!t though. No sense arguing against that insight. If we must have $#!t, let it be Demonrat $#!t, the brand name item.
