"Running" - Alexi Giannoulias for U.S. Senate

Over the last several weeks, Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Alexi Giannoulias has campaigned on the issues, unveiling several new, bold policy proposals that will move our country forward. Meanwhile, Republican Congressman Mark Kirk hasn't held a press conference in almost a month. Alexi is running on the issues. Mark Kirk is running away from answering questions.

Alexi is not just another democrat -he could carry the whole senate. Obamacare gives healthcare to millions -but in order to pay for that it makes it unaffordable for tens of millions - paying for the bailouts? -cap and trade? Giving EPA that kind of power? This country is going down the toilet and won't live through another democratic congress. It hasn't been 2 years -IT"S BEEN SIX!!!

Voting for Alexi Giannoulias or Mark Kirk is exactly the same thing... Corruption!

Mike Labno for IL US Senate.

And if illegals have done lots of work for this country, don't you think they should be granted at least SOME amnesty? If they served in the military or did jobs nobody else would want to do? Probably the majority of illegals are working harder than you!

Um, I'm no expert, but I think his name is Mr. Obama... And $4 billion to help stop one of the largest causes of health implications and health care costs... shame on him! (sarcasm)

And once again, if you want more deportations & safer borders push for immigration reform. If you want reform contact your local congressman, not yelling at me on YouTube. Facts are facts. Illegals are being deported as we speak, and if they're not being deported fast enough for you then push for reform!

@kimlene05 Thanks for stooping down to the level of name calling and immaturity, very grown up of you. "62% of Americans want us to SEAL THE BORDER FIRST! As I said already, Obama just signed legislation that gives $600 million more to border security. This is a FACT! Secondly, Immigration reform INCLUDES lots of extra border security funds. This is a FACT! And why is it always Obama's fault that ICE has lousy leadership? The Obama administration is deporting illegals every day! FACT!

@ThePoliticalMoose There's a difference between exaggeration and lies. A few exaggerations aren't bad; Admitting lies and apologizing isn't, either. But Mark Kirk hasn't done either. As for Alexi's tax frauds, yes it's bad, and just because he's done good work for the state and he believes he deserves it doesn't justify it. But at least he doesn't support Bush's failed economic policies and tax breaks for companies that outsource jobs overseas. Those are worth TRILLION$!

@kimlene05 I suppose that explains then why there have been more deportations this year than ever before, and that Obama just signed a bill that gives $600,000,000 more to border security. And last time I checked, democrats weren't the ones blocking immigration reform....if you're really upset take your complaints to Republicans, not Obama, who is doing the best he can to benefit BOTH sides.

@chriswpieper "Mark Kirk plain out LIES about himself." Kirk has been in the public eye for the last 11 years. Can you honestly say that you haven't exaggerated once in the past 11 years?

What I can say is that I've never file a fraudulent tax receipt to evade $2.7 million dollars in taxes. Alexi Giannoulias can't say that.

[chriswpieper]

@ThePoliticalMoose Alexi did all that? Can you please give the source of your findings? And it's not Alexi's fault that his bank collapsed, it was just another bankrupt small business in the financial meltdown of 2008 caused by...oh lookie here....Bush & Kirk. Mark Kirk plain out LIES about himself, and then goes and lies about others to brainwash people like you :)

[chriswpieper]

@kimlene05 Oh no, not gay marriage! Gays don't have equal rights as us! And how is it Obama's fault that some Muslims are dancing over the graves of 9/11 Americans? And your argument about illegals doesn't make the lick of sense...he sided with 15 million illegals rather than 15 million citizens? And by the way, if you're worried about Job Killing, Mr. Mark Kirk here voted to give tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas. Sorry to break that to ya! GIANNOULIAS 2010
