I may not agree with this line of argument but the answer here seems fairly simple to me: To give the Democrats time to pass their lame duck agenda while giving Mark Kirk "cover" as a "fiscal conservative."
What’s this “according to” crapola ? Just because you don’t acknowledge it doesn’t mean it isn’t so. You and your shilling pals remind me of this loony toons member of my family who grew up believing this powerful political figure in our family was of one party when I pointed out (as public record), he was from the party she hated. She flipped out and denied it vociferously and attacked me personally. Crazy moonbats.
Nobody is holding up his going to Washington. He’s still in the House, isn’t that bad enough ? As for his Senate fix, he’ll go when the Combine tells him to... just like he’ll switch parties when they tell him to. He follows orders from them, you know about that, don’t you, pal ?
