They are currently discussing on Hannity that Kirk, a former Naval officer, is superb on national security issues and that he will promptly back-peddle on cap and trade. Kirk has already proven to be satisfactory in opposing Obamacare.
He better get peddling if elected.
Obama will be trying every trick he can to get anything passed before November.
He has a 10 year record in the US congress, right?
I've never bothered to check it, have you?
