I live in Kirk’s district (Northfield), and I think that a republican congressman should agree with most of the republican platform. How do we benefit by having a republican congressman who is pro-choice, pro-gun control, pro-gay marriage, pro-spending increases, pro-illegal alien, and anti-Iraq surge? His latest rating from Gun Owners of America is 0%. A Minuteman officer told me that Kirk went to the Mexican border and gave advice to illegals, to help them sneak across the border.
Maybe your right that we should get rid of Kirk, but his victory was the only bit of light in the New Trier Republican headquarters last night.
