Questions raised about Kirk's teaching record


June 17, 2010 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- New questions are emerging about a candidate's record in the race for the U.S. Senate.

First Mark Kirk was questioned about the accuracy of his military record. Now there are questions about what Kirk says about his teaching career.

Did Mark Kirk misremember, exaggerate or lie when he talked about a teaching job he held 29 years ago? Did he really believe that some of the pre-schoolers he taught might bring a gun to class? It is the latest episode in a sometimes unbelievable US Senate campaign.

Kirk's been claiming he's an "expert" in the field of education for several months now because of his "teaching" experience. Turns out I have as much "teaching" experience as Kirk. Both us of worked as a classroom aide for a daycare center for about a year. Just like “very distinctive and extremely prestigious navy award” Kirk earned is the same one my dad earned in Vietnam -- the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal. A lot of guys earned it. It’s a positive thing to have on your record, but “Officer of the Year” it’s not.

First Mark Kirk is caught "misremembering" his "war hero" military awards ala Kerry & Blumenthal... and now it turns out he "misremembered" his teaching career too? One of these schools even disputes that Kirk ever worked there!! Shame on the freepers who continue to defend this pathological lying socialist.

The whole point of nominating Jim Jeffords Jr. in the first place was because he was allegedly the lone "electable" Republican in Illinois. Well guess what? He ain't electable, he's polling dead even against the most corrupted Dem on the ballot. Those "unelectable" conservatives on the ballot are polling far better than him in Illinois.

Topinka, Sauerberg, now Kirk. The GOP establishment sure knows how to pick 'em. Resign from the ticket NOW, Congressman Kirk, if you have any integrity left.

But since the news source was the NY Slimes I figured some freepers might dismiss it. But there are identical stories about Kirk's fraudulent "teaching" career popping up all over so here's another one. This guy has lied about alot more than just his military awards and it's coming back to haunt us.

Leftists lie out of their own perceived self-interest. It’s what they do.

They have no love for the Truth.

They have seared their consciences.

There is NO EXCUSE for Kirk not being properly vetted before becoming the US Senate candidate.

Shame on the National and Illinois Republican Party.

It just keeps coming about this lying,ultra liberal, bastard.

Any news about a conservative getting on the ballot? Does he/she need a petition passer in Tazewell County?

They abound and they seem to think F.R. is a republican web site and they will vote for whatever has an "R" behind its name.

Screw them and the horse they rode in on.

Should Romney some how get the nod in 2012, I won't vote for that liberal jack ass either. I don't identify as a republican any more, I am a Conservative.

He's a sitting U.S. Congressman and his record is as clear as a bell. The republican leadership in this state knew full well what they were supporting and whose campaign they were pouring money into.

If Kirk is elected he will be one of the most liberal members of both houses of congress, both poltical parties. Yep, that's right, more liberal than most democrats.
