As I said in a previous thread:
Kirk is against "card check" (which would allow unions to organize without a vote).
He is against immigration amnesty and supports completing the border fence and sending more troops to the border.
He favors extending the Bush tax cuts for everyone.
He is against closing Gitmo
As a congressman, he voted against Obamacare and he has indicated that he wants to repeal it.
Giannoulias takes the opposite position on ALL of those things and more. Giannoulias would be our worst nightmare. Kirk must win!
Talk about a former reputable publishing icon fallen to
ugly disrepute, this article will make your hair curl. It’s
the shocking story of a completely inappropriate and
deviant good old boy crew at the helm. I can’t imagine the
owner has let these stunning antics go on so long.

Supporting Kirk today, and yet they were the lynchpin in
Obama’s senatorial win by getting the sealed Ryan divorce
info leaked JUST before the election, AND ...again, leaking
the info that Fitzie had Blago’s offices and home, etc.
wiretapped.
Quite the stunning change in both stability and political direction.
This seat is not about Kirk, it is about who will be the Senate Majority Leader.
If Kirk vows to be neutral on social issues - then all Illinois Republicans will vote for him for the good of the Party.
However, you chose to ignore it and continue to "report" the same false information about Kirk's beliefs, so I'm going to post them again, along with proof that Kirk is NOT "with us" on this stuff:
>> He is against immigration amnesty and supports completing the border fence and sending more troops to the border. <<
Numbers USA reports that Mark Kirk answered NO on whether he would oppose amnesty
Mark Kirk Opposes AZ Immigration Enforcement Law
>> He is against closing Gitmo <<
Kirk caved to Democrats on bringing Gitmo terorrists to Illinois
>> As a congressman, he voted against Obamacare and he has indicated that he wants to repeal it. <<
Mark Kirk Backs Off "Repeal" Charge on Obamacare
Kirk Regretting Health Bill Repeal Pledge
So sorry, Inyokern, facts are facts and the facts show Kirk will do the same thing as Alexi when it comes to giving illegal alien's amnesty, shutting down Gitmo, and keeping Obamacare as the law of the land, regardless of what lies he told voters to win the primary. Now that you've been informed of Kirk's actual RECORD on the issues, please stop repeating his lies. China call itself "the people's Republic", but that doesn't prove it really is a people's Republic and "different" from Cuba's form of government. Likewise Kirk can say whatever he wants, but his record shows he supported the RATs on those issues.

There is what Mark Kirk says (bull$hit) and what Mark Kirk does (votes) and you have been repeatedly schooled on that in your liberal pushing threads.
Kirk has now flip-flopped on his "no amnesty" position. Not only that, he was one of fifteen Republicans to vote with the Dems to invoke cloture and advance the amnesty bill to the floor:
This comes after Kirk has ALREADY flip-flopped on all the other issues that Inyokern cited as conservative positions where Kirk was "with us" in November 2010:
"favors extending the Bush tax cuts for everyone". Kirk flip-flopped and voted NO on making the Bush tax cuts permannt.
"He is against closing Gitmo" Kirk flip-flopped and voted in favor of a Democrat bill to provide funds to close down Gitmo. (Fortunately Obama seems to be dead in the water on this issue because he can't convince anyone to put the inmates elsewhere)
"As a congressman, he voted against Obamacare and he has indicated that he wants to repeal it." As a Senator, he flip-flopped and said that although he voted against it, it is now "settled law" and he won't work to repeal it, instead he will help the public find out how they can benefit from it.
Just a friendly reminder for all the freepers who helped elect this socialist combiner and told us that he'd be "with us when it counts" and "we'll have his ear".
