“One must consider the final result” is allegedly a more accurate translation of Machiavelli. That’s how the socialists think and that’s part of the reason they usually win.
Now there is no need for an “alliance” with Martin. All we need to do is sit back and watch. I wouldn’t jump to Roland Burris aid if someone alleged he packed fudge. I’d say no comment and laugh. The good GOP candidates should ignore this and focus on the issues.
BTW Martin did not invent these allegations, allegedly the democrats have been gathering info on Kirk and a decent Republican Aaron Schock who may run for higher office in the future. Schock I would defend but if he is gay it’s better it comes out sooner than later. He can say so what and that he’s against gay marriage anyway and I would gladly vote for him if he ever runs for the Senate.
You need take not take my word on Kirk. If you have a moment or 2 look up his voting record. Do a keyword search on FR. Look at his ratings from the American Conservative Union or ontheissues.org. He voted for cap and trade, he’s for partial birth abortion. He’s not worthy of defense. I only hope this gay rumor doesn’t backfire and help him win the primary.
I'm not saying we don't fight with bare knuckles. But I do think some things are fair game and some things are not.

You have a point here. But CNN and others will use this to make the entire GOP look bad - and it's not like the Illinois GOP has a great reputation to begin with.

That's good enough for me; I wasn't trying to be snide when I said I'd take your word for it.

My intent wasn't to defend Kirk, exactly; I was more interested in making clear just how despicable Martin and CNN are.

That is a legitimate concern. This kind of gutter politics usually does backfire, especially when originated by the likes of Martin.
