See his little hissy in post #30 ? It’s amazing how much they don’t want Gov. Brady to appoint a REAL Conservative to the seat when Alexi goes to jail. Watch as the Rbots vanish once Kirk starts to work his magic as a true-believing Socialist weasel in the Senate. They can shove their leftist Zero agents straight up their kiesters.

The latter indicates a much deeper degree of character dysfunction to my way of thinking.

Correction to my post above--I meant THE FORMER, meaning Giannoulis's lies.

Horsecrap. It was a fixed primary election from the get-go. Kirk could care LESS about Conservatives or the Conservative agenda, except to SCREW both.

Unbelievable, now we have shills defending Stolen Valor frauds on Free Republic. You guys are no more Conservative than your hero Mark Kirk.

But I don't think his vote will matter on that issue anyway

It's not his vote I'm concerned, it's his opinions. You need to understand that Kirk will be one of those go-to RINOs that the media and Obama will exploit to paint the rest of the Republicans as "extreme." He'll be on the Sunday shows saying that the new Republicans need to compromise and work with "our President." Do you really want Republicans to work with Obama?

They'll have even less chance of passing it after this election with a severely trimmed back majority

They could bring it up for a vote and throw in some tax credits, then Kirk will be used to sell it to the other Republicans. This is what happened in 1995 when Republicans took over Congress. The GOP lost seats in 1996 and 1998 because of this.

What about all the times Kirk's vote will matter and that we could probably count on him for, like rolling back some of Obamacare's provisions as he said he would vote to do or extending ALL the Bush tax cuts as he indicated he would vote to do?

I don't want to "roll back" some of Obamacare or "make it work better." I want the damn thing repealed. Do you understand what's at stake here? Why do you want somebody like Kirk who'll work with Obama and discourage the conservative agenda?

As for the February primary, fair or not, it's over.

Illinois had one of the earliest primaries in February. It is not fair to have such an early primary because nobody gets heard but the establishment candidate.

For the record, I have never voted for any minor party... Never have or never will.. Having said that Kirk wasn’t my choice, but Alexi is worse than Kirk and I voted to make sure the Godfather doesn’t win..

Lurker is one of my favorites here. I won't hold anything against him. I'm surprised at his decision though to back Kirk, who is one of the biggest gun-banners in Washington.

OK, and did it not register with you ? We’ll never beat the Combine as long as the people keep rubber-stamping THEIR thugs. Damn it, Mama, step up and shout, “Hell, NO !” to their corrupt choices !

His was an over-the-top slanderous charge against Conservatives of good character trying to stop the next Benedict Arnold in the GOP Senate caucus, and I do hold it against him.

My first priority is to see that known criminal Alexi
Giannoulias is never elected to the United States Senate.

What’s your ultimate goal at this late time??? Your sowing decent in the ranks just as bad as the leftists did to the country in the middle of the war on terror. WE ARE AT WAR WITH OBAMA-MARXISM. Do I care more about a rino in power OR the Marxists retaining control of government??? This RUSE WILL NOT WORK THIS TIME because we’re past detecting where and whether the smoke is rising; WE SEE THE FIRE THAT’S BURNING DOWN OUR COUNTRY.

My decision to vote for Kirk is one of the toughest I’ve ever made. I loathe him. I didn’t vote for him in the primary. But dammit man this race may very well decide control of the Senate. Now is not the time to support a third party candidate.

I know Kirk is a frigging RINO and probably as gay as Barney Frank. But here in Illinois we are dealing with Dick Durbin and Roland Burris. Even if Kirk votes with the Republicans 50% of the time he’ll be light years better than Alexi.

And this race is so tight that any vote for any other candidate no matter how ideologically pure IS a vote for the Dem. Thats just the way things are.

And if this race is close enough the Chicago Machine will steal it. Those are the facts. The time for opposing Kirk is over. Period. End of sentence.

The fact that you cannot see beyond that is why the Combine will keep winning every time. My apologies for presuming you were a bit more than of a one-dimensional mindset.

Gov. Brady will appoint the crooked Alexi’s successor when he goes to prison.

See, here's where reality comes in. Corrupt Illinois democrats end up on Celebrity Apprentice, not in prison.

You didn’t read the link at all, otherwise you wouldn’t have issued that ranting nonsense. It answers all your questions, but since you’re just here to shill for a Socialist liar simply because he has an “R” after his name, I won’t expect anything more than mindless shilling.

BTW, this isn’t some “late time”, I’ve been opposed to that Socialist Combiner fraud Mark Kirk for a LONG time, pal, and have been opposing him at EVERY turn. Where were YOU in all the threads of the past when we discussed them ? What’s YOUR goal in shilling for a known liar, fraud and cog in the SAME political machine that gave America Emperor Zero ?

The truth really does hurt......I loathe Kirk as well, but the alternative is worse.

Are you that incredibly naive ? Kirk IS the choice of the Chicago Machine... it’s Alexi that was the ringer. It was EXACTLY the same in Delaware with Mike Castle and Coons serving as his ringer. Are you kids that out-of-touch you don’t know the old Democrat/LBJ tactic of “I’ll be for you or against you, whichever helps the most” ? The Combine WANTS Kirk to win, not Alexi. This is the little game they play with Illinois voters, making them think the people have a choice... they don’t so long as they keep rubber-stamping their little dog and pony shows.

Fine. Vote for your third party loser. Just get used to saying Senate Majority Leader Durbin.
