>> He is against immigration amnesty and supports completing the border fence and sending more troops to the border. <<

Kirk has now flip-flopped on his "no amnesty" position. Not only that, he was one of fifteen Republicans to vote with the Dems to invoke cloture and advance the amnesty bill to the floor:

http://beforeitsnews.com/obama-birthplace-controversy/2013/06/list-of-15-republican-senators-who-helped-democrats-to-advance-the-mega-amnesty-call-each-of-them-and-demand-that-they-vote-no-on-the-final-amnesty-vote-if-they-vote-for-the-final-amne-2462554.html

This comes after Kirk has ALREADY flip-flopped on all the other issues that Inyokern cited as conservative positions where Kirk was "with us" in November 2010:

"favors extending the Bush tax cuts for everyone". Kirk flip-flopped and voted NO on making the Bush tax cuts permannt.

"He is against closing Gitmo" Kirk flip-flopped and voted in favor of a Democrat bill to provide funds to close down Gitmo. (Fortunately Obama seems to be dead in the water on this issue because he can't convince anyone to put the inmates elsewhere)

"As a congressman, he voted against Obamacare and he has indicated that he wants to repeal it." As a Senator, he flip-flopped and said that although he voted against it, it is now "settled law" and he won't work to repeal it, instead he will help the public find out how they can benefit from it.

Just a friendly reminder for all the freepers who helped elect this socialist combiner and told us that he'd be "with us when it counts" and "we'll have his ear".

Have his ear? Maybe we do and he’s deaf. Epic fail!

I didn’t know that any freepers voted for Sen. Kirk. Which of them did that?
