Now aslong as someone can keep the black panthers and ACORN idle I think we will finally have a new governor, one that hasn't or isn't going to jail since Jim Ryan! YAY!
The problem is Kirk fans keep disrupting conservative websites to sell the "vote Kirk" kool-aid, spreading lies that he's a "fiscal conservative" and "moderate" on social issues. Those lies have to be debunked before any more conservatives vote for him under false pretenses. Dengar, you kept touting this guy over and over again long after you said it would be your "last post" on the thread and long after many us told you that you were wasting your time because we wouldn't support Kirk under ANY circumstances. I don't see why Kirk's fan club continues to try and sell him on a conservative website to a hostile crowd. Kirk himself gloats about how "moderates" are the key to "winning" so let him go after them and try to win without us.
As for Kirk's record on illegals, he scored a 100% rating from LaRaza on more than one occasion and has voted for amnesty in the past. He also voted against requiring hospitals to report illegal aliens they treat. Kirk is the dope that said the solution to illegal immigration was Congress shipping free condoms to Mexico. Like many liberals, he'll tell you he voted in favor of the border wall -- except he didn't vote to fund it so it never got built. Kirk will talk out of both sides on immigration and tell people what they want to hear. His overall record is mediocre and shows he panders to illegals.
Like Phil, I have also heard people say he went to the Mexican border and advised illegals on how to sneak across. I have little doubt Kirk would do something sleazy like that, he's known for selling out to the highest bidder even if means risking national security. But even though Kirk is a RINO, he's not stupid and I doubt he made those remarks when there was a reporter or camera present... probably a closed door meeting by invite only, but it leaked out. But I'm guessing there's not a paper trail.
The bottom line is I'd like to stay positive and focus on Brady-Plummer, but since every Illinois 2010 election thread ends up with a "vote 4 Kirk!!" cheerleader I have no choice but to remind people what the abortion-loving, gun-grabbing socialist actually stands for.
