"What part of that logic don't you understand?"

Yours. It makes no sense. How will electing two Socialists on the "R" ticket stop the Obama agenda when they SUPPORT THE OBAMA AGENDA ? What part of that don't YOU understand ?

"One of your most interesting chapters is your book talks about the huge mistake the GOP made in 1860 by putting Democrat Andrew Johnson on the Republican ticket"

Minor nit, you meant 1864. Mainer Republican Sen. Hannibal Hamlin was Lincoln's running mate in 1860.

Do you really think repeating your rants in bold capital letters make them more meaningful or effective?

CAPS is shouting, Mr. Truck. My comments are put in bold type to differentiate my words from when I’m quoting another in my post and has nothing to do with emotion, that’s just how I roll. Now that I’ve explained that for the one millionth time to the red herring brigades, you wish to explain how and why electing Socialist RINO/DIABLOs to office somehow will stop the Obama agenda (for which they wholeheartedly support) on a Conservative website no less, or shall I just presume you’re a liberal/pro-Combiner troll like the other Kirk apologists and shills on FR who keep on repeating debunked talking points and obsessing over my fonts ?

"DEMOCRATS FAIL TO HOLD PRESIDENT'S OLD SEAT IN ILLINOIS"

"GOP RETAKES CONGRESS IN NATIONWIDE LANDSLIDE"

Those are the only headlines I'm interested in, and tearing down Mark Kirk at this juncture does not move us in that direction.

So your solution is to let some avowed leftwinger with mob ties win the seat?

You need to remember how to count to fifty one, then have someone explain the importance of being in the majority in the US Senate.

Obviously you are no Conservative, Mr. Truck. As long as a Socialist wins on the “R” label, that’s A-OK by you. So sorry, but that is NOT OK. You want to support Socialist traitors and other sociopaths, go join the Democrats and keep your filthy Red nutters out of the GOP. Thank you very much.

DEFEAT MARK KIRK !*

(*Yes, Mr. Truck, that last sentence is shouting, since you need an explanation to understand my fonts)

My solution is to replace Mark Kirk on the ticket with a reliable untainted NON-Combiner Conservative. Your solution is to elect an avowed Socialist corrupted Combiner DIABLO nutbag (who is a pathological liar) to go to the Senate and support the Obama agenda. Jeffords, Specter, Chafee, Marcantonio... those guys were real loyal Republicans who stuck around to support the party agenda... oh, wait...

Would you hand US uniforms and guns to Nazi soldiers, and invite them to intelligence briefings, and place them behind our front lines just to have more “Allied” soldiers?

I believe General Patton proposed just such a plan at the end of WWII.

Hey, and you thought only Slick Willard could pathologically lie as much... Mark Hussein Kirk’s giving him a run for his money.

They’re both lying Leftists.

And the Republicans continue to act like sheeple. Especially in Illinois.

It’s the Combine that’s the problem in IL. People of ethics and conscience can’t even get control of the state GOP because the Combine controls it. We’ll see if Bill Brady can resist it as Governor, he was not their choice for the nomination (they spent too much time trying to install Kirk and threaten others out of the Senate race that they ignored that more than one Combiner was running for Governor).

In 1936, the Republican nominee for Congress in NY-20 was Vito Marcantonio. Marcantonio was also a Communist and cross-nominated by that party. Would you have supported him simply because he was the “Republican” nominee ?”

Yes, of course he would. He’s the Grand-old-part-of-the-problem.

No doubt, as that is the only logical assumption we can make, since Mr. Zak has cowardly chosen to ignore these direct questions put to him in this thread, merely using FR instead to PIMP his book. Poor show, Mr. Zak, very poor show.

“...using FR instead to PIMP his book. Poor show, Mr. Zak, very poor show.”

Speaking of his blog and his book, brilliant strategy, by Grand old Part-of-the-Problem ... alienate all of the south, most of the west and ANYONE ELSE WHO KNOWS HISTORY, pander to blacks WHO WILL NEVER VOTE FOR a Republican, put a black guy who STINKS at the job into leadership, then write articles to support him, and continue that grand tradition of losing the big votes by the RINO’s they back against the voice of the People ... or the Tea Party ... just brilliant! I can’t wait until the old partisans finally become useful in the only way these dinosaurs can...they can become oil.

Heh... well, they just put the wrong Black guy in, they should’ve gone with Ken Blackwell. Steele is a dolt and grotesquely incompetent. He should’ve been fired early last year due to his mishandling (or shall we say, willfully ignoring, much like Mr. Zak) of special House races. No doubt if we win this November, in spite of his incompetence, he will take full credit for something he had nothing to do with. We had one of Steele’s “R(INO)”bot flunkies on FR for a time, I had the distinct pleasure to have his sorry ass run off of FR.

"DEMOCRATS FAIL TO HOLD SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MITCHELL'S OLD SEAT IN MAINE"

"GOP RETAKES CALIFORNIA GOVERNORSHIP IN STATEWIDE LANDSLIDE"

Those are the types of headlines we got in Maine when "Republican" Olympia Snowe won, and in California when "Republican" Arnold Schwarzenegger won.

And what exactly did those "wins" accomplish for us, aside from giving Republicans a brief psychological boost on election night? We've been screwed by "our" candidates ever since the moment those people took office. The only thing Olympia Snowe has done for us is make it easier for Clinton and Obama to score legislative 'wins' by giving them "bipartisan" support. The only thing Arnold accomplished in California was completely destroying the state and passing more big government socialism than Gray Davis ever dreamed of.

Just because you felt "good" about the headlines on election night, doesn't mean you moved about this country in right direction. The "Republicans" that won those races did more damage than the RATs they replaced, as will be the case when Mark Kirk replaces Roland Burris.

Allowing socialists to infiltrate the GOP for decades and enact the Dem's agenda for them -- simply so you have an (empty) morale victory for one day -- is the height of short sightedness and tunnel vision.
