Tea Party Candidate Mike Labno for Illinois Senate. He's running against 3 Liberals. He's one Man against the Machine.

Well, you may be right - I think I know what Mark Kirk is, and what he is NOT. His record on fiscal issues is pretty good, he may as well be Barney Frank when it comes to social issues. But he’s not Alexi, and he does have an R behind his name (the first letter in RINO). So like many I will hold my nose and vote for him, because even the longest journey begins with a single step, and taking “the Obama seat” from the Democrat party will weaken them in IL and Kirk is at least no worse than Alexi.
Do I wish Jack Ryan had kept it zipped? Yeah. I wish we had a better candidate now, too.
Would he vote with his fellow Republicans to filibuster the Democrats radical agenda, or would he side with the Democrats right away, turning on Republicans right out of the gate?

You forgot the part required BY LAW:
Paid for by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, http://www.dscc.org, and not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.
Operation RINO Kill (politically speaking, of course) is a necessary prerequisite to Our Republic's restoration, pure and simple.
DEFEAT MARK KIRK ! *PING*
“His record on fiscal issues is pretty good,”
His cap and tax vote says otherwise.
Half a loaf or none? Conservatives trying to starve themselves again. I don’t like Mike Kirk any better than most conservatives but tell me when Illinois is ready to elect a conservative in a statewide race. Better yet, let me know when Chicago slides into the lake.
Well I early voted and I hold my nose and voted for Kirk..
Why are we still fighting the primary? Kirk is not the solid conservative we all wish for, but one isn’t likely to be elected in Illinois. His 57% rating from the American Conservative Union means we can count on him more than half the time to vote the right way. Giannolouis has said he will begin a “progressive Senate caucus” if he wins this Senate seat. I daresay that means we’ll be able to count on his vote for conservative causes around 0% of the time. Better to take half a plate of what you want than a full plate of steaming cow pies.
And get real, Labno has no chance. When was the last time a Libertarian candidate won anything? The time for this argument about Kirk was earlier this year. Why give up the 51st seat for Senate control as if his opponent would somehow be so much better for the conservative cause?
Oh yes what we need is Alexi, that will fix things.
Yeah, but if you vote for Kirk, you can do no better than him in six years. Plus:
* That lying, snivelling, back-stabber will represent the REPUBLICAN party.
* He’ll be the go-to guy for all Sunday morning shows.
* He’ll have the authority to credibly attack any real conservative (”Even Republicans think so-and-so is just beyond the pale!”)
I keep telling people that voting for a liberal just because he’s got an “R” after his name makes as much sense as giving classified information, weapons, and field position to a Nazi spy, just because he’s stolen a GI’s uniform.
Ask Bob Bennett if a sitting republican senator is guaranteed a primary win.
Labno is the ONLY logical choice for a Conservative. Kirk’s a Socialist Combiner buddy of Zero’s, too.
They’re about to elect a Conservative GOP Governor. So why elect a Socialist DIABLO who is opposed to everything Bill Brady and the Tea Party stands for ?
Gov. Brady will appoint the crooked Alexi’s successor when he goes to prison. It won’t be the pathological liar and backstabbing Socialist weasel Mark Kirk.
My sentiments exactly. Why is this coming out NOW, two weeks before the leftist is defeated??? Scumbag leftist journalista dirty manipulation. It’s going to happen all over the country. The Socialists are scared to death, their back is against the wall, and their journalista peons will be very busy bees up until November. If we fall for this hoax yet again, and allow the obamaoistas to win, I say we should just sit down and whine NO MORE.
You clowns make me puke. You scream all about this magical majority and the need to elect Republicans. Do you remember Jim Jeffords? Lincoln Chaffee, Arlen Specter? The Maine sisters? What good is electing a liberal Republican when he'll just destroy the best chance we've got of restoring conservatism?
Seriously, I hope Alexi G. wins, if Labno can't pull it off. I would rather see this corrupt Dem win than Kirk.
