As expected.
News flash from Karnack the Magnificent!
When are Snowe and Collins up for re election?
Centrist? Only on Planet RINO...
Republicans, Democrats same S**T different piles!!!!
Remind me again what a DIABLO is.
I’m sure Lissah Myrrhkauskeigh will join them too — unless of course she decides to make it explicit and just join the rat party outright.

Too bad the freepers who are demanding that he get “seated immediately” won’t listen.
His opponent Giannoulias wanted to join the progressive caucus...choose your poison.
Dear Mr. Kirk,
Many of us in Illinois voted for you while almost gagging. You voted for Cap and Trade as a Representative and explained it away by saying the constituents from your district wanted you to vote that for Cap and Trade.
Now you represent the whole State of Illinois, not just your little liberal suburbs. Downstate, we aren't going to put up with your bullshit. The Dems in Illinois are not going to certify you in time so that they don't have to seat you for much of the lame duck session. Get your ass to the Senate and DEMAND to be seated! Burris did it, the little Democratic worm, now you do it! You represent me now. Grow a spine and fight for me!
Signed,
Wasted Breath
I think Kirk needs a good solid FREEPING to let him KNOW that Collins and Snowe are NOT the way to go if he wants to keep that seat.
Its better to torpedo a RINO even if it means a Democrat gets that seat, because it gives a better chance next time.
RINOs get Republican, Independent and, all too often Conservative support.
Centrist, my ass. Collins, Snowe, Kirk, et al, are leftists.
Vote the corrupt bastards and RINOS OUT!!
Rebellion is brewing!!
Mark Kirk did what only one other Republican (Peter Fitzgerald) has done in the past 30 years, he actually won a U.S. Senate race in Illinois. He won despite a coordinated hit job by the media and the Democrats for allegedly lying about his military service. Exit polls by CNN showed that he outperformed the Republican nominee for governor, Bill Brady, by 3 points among Independents and 2 points among women. That ended being the difference in Kirk’s two point victory and Brady’s narrow loss. The biggest difference was evident in the Chicago suburbs, where Kirk’s margins were much higher than Brady’s.
Stark reality:
Sharron Angle
Ken Buck
Christine Angle
Carly Fiorina
All are pro-life and lost. Now have zero power to change anything. Zip zero nada!
Opponents were all for abortion without restriction. They all won. Now have power over our lives. Sad but true.

He represents Chicago, this is likely the best we can do. I don't worry too much about centrists in leftie states (Scott Brown for example). Centrists (or lefties) in conservative states bother me (McCain and Graham are good examples.)
Let's clean out the lefties from conservative states and then add a handful of centrists in leftie states. That could give us 60-70 GOP Senators. Then the Conservative Senators need to manage the centrists better ("We welcome you to our party. We'll work together on stuff we agree on and debate anongst ourselves the things we disagree on. When you join with the other party to defeat our party's initiatives, expect to lose seniority and clout.") Getting over 50 Conservatives is what can make this more effective. Over 60 and it is a slam dunk.
Mark Kirk wants to be the next Chuck Percy. Percy, a liberal republican, and I believe that Percy served in the US Senate from Illinois for 4 terms. Percy was a persistant pain to every Republican administration, including the Great One, Ronald Wilson Reagan.
centrist ‘mod squad’ = “Murder/bort” squad
I would trust a liberal democrat long before I would ever trust a liberal republican. Liberal republicans will always always betray you. They are the reason I am not a republican and the reason I do not trust the republicans. Too many liberals republicans are still in the closet like sleeper cells. Waiting to awake and destroy liberty in the favor of big government.
