Its time to recruit an independent candidate. F*ck the NRSCC. They never saw Scott Brown coming and wrote him off.

I’ve heard rumors that the Dems have a scandal ready to hit Kirk with at the most opportune time.

Giannoulias is as connected as you can get in Chicago.

Of course they do. That's how they play. Making it stick without splattering themselves with it, whatever it is, will be their problem.

Looks like the National GOP is ready to put money in this one.

Let me know if anyone actually sees this on TV. It has the feel of a “fundraiser ad.” That’s the practice of showing a red-meat commercial on the internet to rev up a national activist-donor base so they think a candidate is taking bold stands, while they continue to play it safe within their actual market.

Of course they are. Kirk is a baby-slaughter-supporting, sodomy-worshipping, gun-grabbing eco-Marxist.

Bucking the fashionable trend of Kirk-bashing just to pass along the following:

http://www.ontheissues.org/IL/Mark_Kirk.htm

Fiscally conservative. Strongly pro-abortion, supportive of gay crap, but more of a mixed bag on the social issues.

NRA gave him a D because of his votes for trigger locks, against prohibiting product misuse lawsuits on gun manufacturers, but he also voted in favor of a bill that would prohibit liability lawsuits from being brought against gun manufacturers and dealers based on the criminal misuse of firearms. This is not the voting record of a “gun grabber”.

Bottom line: he’s better than the alternative. And, as Congressman, his job is to vote on behalf of his district, that’s how it works in a representative democracy. But as a Senator, he will be expected to represent the broader views of the entire state, and I expect that means he will move to the right on some issues. We’ll see how that unfolds.

Great ad by the NRSC... LOL! Rush led off his show with it on Wednesday, February 3rd. (Video runs 1:06 minutes)

Anyone know if this commercial will be run on TV or just on the internet?
