The "Principled Conservatives" would rather destroy America than support anyone who is not sufficiently pure enough for their exhalted standards.
You are wrong. We supported Scott Brown. He is not anti-gun, he is not a for seeking young girls over the state line for abortions with their parents consent, he is not a radical gay rights advocate, he is not a supporter of Cap and Trade.
No I supported John McCain, Scott Brown, and other flawed candidates but Kirk is not merely a flawed candidate. He is a ‘John Kerry’ Republican who has lied about his record to inflate himself while everyman soldiers die not for a tick on their resume but because they believe they are defending America. The guy is anti-gun beyond belief, and until recently has been radically pro-choice and pro-homosexual agenda even to the extent of defending his vote for “thought crime” legislation.
He does support free trade, and he did vote for the Bush tax cuts but he is just schizophrenic on fiscal issues supporting the first TARP bill and Obamas second “stimulus”.
He was one of 6 to vote for Cap and Trade which not only was about raising the cost of energy on families but controlling everything from how you build your house to what kind of toilets you could have. He is not a defender of liberty. He is a political Machiavellian Chameleon. That we have no business supporting and I don’t believe anyone with any conscience or who really believes in changing this country could support.
Is our goal after Nov to start compromising with Obama? Kirk would be the perfect candidate for that. I’d support him if I just could find common ground but the guy is the worst kind of politician, a coward not unlike his Democrat Opponent with whom he shares most positions.
