"llinois Senator Dick Durbin is talking about the flap over his claim that a leading House Republican told President Barack Obama he couldn't stand to look at his face, and Durbin got some help dealing with it from an unexpected source."

With friends like these two, who needs enemies?
unexpected? to who?
Ahh, there’s our boy McLame again...
Never misses an opportunity to support the enemy.
We used to call someone like that “traitor”...
Release the House Republican’s name. He’ll be a hero.
Mark Kirk was specifically mentioned in the report I heard on the 5-9am successor to the WLSam 890 of the Don Wade and Roma show. Wade passed away I believe in August from cancer.
WIND am 560 has also been doing some good stuff in those early hours partcularly on the Monday am time slot 2-5am used by Hugh Hewitt. That M/F team citing two Republican candidates for Governor who are heavy recipients of Illinois teacher union cash Mr “D” (hundred$ of thousand$) and Brady (thousand$) Cross (IL House) is also a recipient.
McCain needs to toddle off to a nursing home. He’s completely lost it (as if he ever had it).
If: Sleazy and liberal-like
Then: Supported by McDork.
Note: Redundancy in the If statement is recognized.
HEY watch it- McCain honorably served this country as a POW in Vietnam.... maybe he could go back and continue to serve there instead of the Senate.
Juan McKeating is extremely predictable.
McSane, isn’t.
McCain rushes in where even fools fear to tread.
He never misses a chance to help a fellow liberal.
Unexpected?!?!?!?! Who here DIDN'T expect it?
Very telling that a brain damaged RINO is indistinguishable from a regular RINO or a Democrat supporter.
*ping*
“In his defense, I would say that he’s pretty solid and done right by me to build a good bi-partisan team for Illinois,” Kirk said. “Two full-time senators working for Illinois in the same direction.”
And Kirk said he thinks Durbin is in good shape to win re-election next year.
Same direction? So you admit it, eh Mark? Are you going to officially endorse Durbin? I think that would be unprecedented. I'm glad I didn't vote for that POS. He's arguably worse than Susan Collins or any other RINO in Congress.
Mark Kirk was my congressme`n, and I’ve never voted for Kirk. Why did he get a majority of the vote, in the 2010 primary? Either the majority of republican primary voters are as liberal as he is, or they were too lazy to learn his views.
Kirk had no viable opponent, because the Combine put out the word he was to get none and extracted key endorsements to boot. If any elected official went off script and opposed him, they were to get the Peter Fitzgerald treatment.
There was a lot of minimization of Kirk’s liberalism, even here, I certainly doubt most primary voters (who are not that engaged, let’s face it) are fully aware. His media image is “electable mainstream moderate”. He had the entire state party behind him and a favorable press.
I think a SINGULAR strong challenger could have beaten him. But you can’t beat something with nothing, Pat Hugues was an awful candidate, Judge Lowry was a non-entity. Neither had a prayer against he well funded, anointed, “electable” Kirk. Nobodies who have never won a major office before just don’t win US Senate elections, unless they’re really rich and they spend a yachtload of their own green to buy name recognition and media attention.
We needed a Congressman like Roskam or at least a State Senator or something (Ala Pete F. who beat Loretta D. in 1998) to oppose Kirk. It was a lost cause with the challengers we had. The combine saw to it that no one of note opposed him, and conservative officeholders mostly got on board and backed him.
