Is Blago still in office ? Fact is, crooked Democrats HARM the Democrats. Alexi will be far more harmful to the national Democrats than Kirk. If the Machine in IL absolutely wanted Alexi or the Dem nominee to win, they’d have yanked his butt off the ballot faster than you can say Robert Torricelli. This race is a TOTAL joke, and the fact that supposedly intelligent people can’t see that is just plain sad. Maybe you should leave Illinois, because it has wasted away your last shreds of being able to see this classic set-up.

Would it soothe your bruised ego when Kirk votes for Durbin instead of Alexi ? How ‘bout we win ALL the other contested races which can push us over 51 and leave Kirk, abortion-lover, illegals-supporter, closet pervert and known fraud, in the dust ? Brady will appoint Roskam when Alexi goes to prison, and voila, Illinois GETS a Senator it can respect.

Don’t call me your pal. I’m no pal of pro-obama trolls sowing confusion and decent here. Your guy is going down because we won’t have Marxism ruling over this land EVER.

How about you move back planet Earth. Enjoy Majority Leader Durbin, and that will be your doing.

As a resident, I have to vote my conscience, AND live with the consequences. Thanks.

You’re shilling for Zero’s DIABLO buddy Mark Kirk, PAL. Your thumping your chest about opposing the left-wing agenda rings ludicrously hollow.

I’m sure you’ll be here to apologize when I’m proven right about this DIABLO Socialist thug, Kirk... just like all the bots when they told us how important it was to elect Ah-nold, that other Socialist fiasco on the left coast whom I stridently warned people over and was proven 100% right about... hmm ?

Unfortunately, if that Socialist scum Kirk is elected and is the 51st or 50th Senator, you’ll make the rest of the country live with the consequences of a naive vote because you think the ringer is worse than the Trojan Horse. Don’t say you weren’t warned. It’s just a shame you aren’t willing to have short-term pain for long-term gain, since with Kirk, it will be long-term misery from what he will do to us. He’s a complete sociopath, and not a single word that comes out of his mouth can be believed without independent verification. If he said the sky was blue, I’d double check to make sure.

consider how the GOP winning both the House and Senate can be expected to assist Obama with reelection in 2012. He’ll now have a foil to campaign against for two years.

Winning the House is absolutely vital. It is imperative that as much conservative input as possible goes into controlling the purse strings of the nation, and I mean right now.

Mark Kirk will not be getting my vote. I will vote libertarian. I would vote for him if he would at least move to the center like Guiliani did when he ran for President. Instead, I recently saw an ad touting him as “Mr. Independent” because he supported using are tax dollars to fund stem cell research and because he supported outlawing candy cigarettes. Sorry, but I could care less if we lose a vote in the Senate.

Here's what I want to say:

He’s a complete sociopath, and not a single word that comes out of his mouth can be believed without independent verification. If he said the sky was blue, I’d double check to make sure.

I think you're describing YOUR PAL the radical community agitator obama.

Last week I thought I read that true conservatives were supposed to support Randall C. Stufflebeam. Of course, he’s a write-in candidate, and I know nothing about him.

But he seems to be polling about as good as Labno.

>> His record on fiscal issues is pretty good <<

"Fiscal Conservative" Mark Kirk's REAL record:

- Kirk voted with Taxpayers for Common Sense 33% of the time

- Kirk voted with The Club for Growth 19% of the time (9 / 48 votes)

- Kirk voted with Citizens for Tax Justice 17% of the time

- Kirk voted NO to H.J. Res. 3-Releasing Funds for Economic Stabilization Act (this act was sponsored by Republicans after the first 300 billion dollars went unaccounted for to block the remaining funds from being released without oversight)

- Kirk voted YES on Cap-n-Trade, the BIGGEST tax increase in U.S. history ( the ONLY Republican member of the Illinois congressional delegation that voted yes!) (HR 2454)

- Kirk voted YES on Democrat Charlie Rangel’s 90 percent bonus tax (H.R. 1586)

- Kirk voted YES on Overseas Military Facilities Abortion funding (H.R.708)

- Kirk voted YES on H.R.2 - the Democrat's SCHIP Program-basically an expansion of welfare (includes $1 tax on cigarettes to "fund" the program)

- Kirk voted YES on H.R. 3997-First Economic Bailout Package (this is the one that failed the first time through), then voted YES on HR-1424:Second Economic Bailout Package (this one was bigger than the first!)

- Kirk SUPPORTED HR 2, Nancy Pelosi's minimum wage hike that exempted businesses in her own district (Kirk excuse is that he didn't read the bill)

- Mark Kirk voted to approve nearly $200 million for the Air Force to purchase three luxury aircraft for ferrying top government office and Members of Congress.

- Mark Kirk claims that he opposes all congressional earmarks, yet sponsored $74,766,000 worth of earmarks from 2008-2010, including $4,725,000 worth of SOLE earmarks requests for himself. See all of "fiscal conservative" Mark Kirk's earmarks here:
www.legistorm.com/earmarks/details/member/320/Rep_Mark_Kirk/page/1/sort/amount/type/desc.html

- Mark Kirk was ONE of only two Republicans NOT to co-sponsor auditing the Federal Reserve.

- Mark Kirk voted to approve a $140,000 earmark for ACORN's New York office.

- Mark Kirk OPPOSED Republican Senator Jim Bunning's (R-KY) stand to use existing Stimlus funds for the extension of unemployment benefits, and supported the Democrat legislation to pay for it using a new $10 billion expansion to budget deficit.

Vote for "fiscal conservative" Mark Kirk, he'll do for Illinois what "fiscal conservative" Ahnuld Schwarzkennedy did for California.

Stufflebeam was kicked off the ballot by Kirk's combine buddies, and is endorsing pro-life Libertarian Mike Labno (who IS on the ballot) for Senate .

Stufflebeam issued a press release a few weeks ago saying he is going to waste money on another write-in campaign, and is throwing his support behind the one decent candidate who made it on the ballot.

I loathe Kirk as much as much as anyone else. That being said anyone working against him at this point . HE is a Dem plant.

Typo in my last post. Meant to say Stufflebeam is NOT running a write-in campaign this time.

That’s a really ugly resume.

Who are his backers in the GOP?
