He’s that bad?
Kirk voted yes on Cap and Tax.
I have the chance to vote against him, and I’m going to take it. I’m going to encourage others to do the same. Mark Kirk, if you or any of your staffers read this, your loss is sealed by your betrayal.
As I said yesterday, he can kiss my conservative @$$.

Why this guy claims to be a “Republican” is beyond me.
Oh yeah. Calling Kirk a RINO is an insult to RINOs. Most RINOs have some degrees of conservatism in them. Kirk is truly a leftist.
