>>"John Cornyn is the only Senate candidate in the nation who has tried to politicize the important decision about how we conduct a war in Iraq," said the former Dallas mayor. <<
Oh yeah? Try race-baiting and class warfare. My opinion of Ron Kirk went straight into the sewer.

>>"I wonder how excited they'd be if I get to the United States Senate, and I put forth a resolution that says the next time we go to war the first 500,000 kids have to come from families who earn a million dollars or more," he said to the veterans. <<
If anyone doubts that Ron Kirk is a screaming liberal, that should put all doubts to rest.

This is a race we do not have to worry about- when Kirk was running for mayor of Dallas, he campaigned almost exclusively in South Dallas. He is a divider and a racist and he screwed up the DISD, screwed cops out of a raise.... Texans will not vote him into the Senate.

Kirk = DAMN LOSER and a RACIST !
Mr. Kirk, however, did not say whether he stood by his original comments, which included him saying that U.S. forces fighting Iraq would be "disproportionately minority" and that Mr. Cornyn "would be just as deliberative as the rest of us" if his wealthy friends were on the front lines.

Kirk can't help it. As a Democrat it is his duty to use the race card anytime he runs for any office. Those are the rules of the DNC.
To: CPT Clay
Kirk was out of state again?!? How many days has he even been in State?
He's practicing and getting in shape for all those "Junkets" that he'll be taking..... tough job but he's prepared as someone has to do it.
