Mark Kirk Townhall

Mark Kirk held a miniture townhall holding 100 people on August 24th, a Monday at 3 PM in the afternoon. No doubt to ensure all the real taxpayers would be hard at work.

Many people ask me why I'm coming against Mark Kirk so hard. Well, besides him voting for Cap and Trade, one of the largest tax increases in American history, I firmly believe he has been bought and sold, or he's being blackmailed - no reason can be given for supporting cap and trade. Either way, he's a tainted candidate, he does not represent Republican values, nor the platform itself.

But here's a list of why we can not afford the Mark Kirk's of this world anymore:

Voted Yes on Cap & Trade.
Voted NO on troop surge in Iraq.
Voted YES on prohibiting job discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Voted NO on constitutionally defining marriage as between one-man-one-woman.
Voted NO on constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
Voted YES on expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines.
Voted YES on allowing human embryonic stem cell research.
Voted NO on restricting interstate transport of minors to get abortions.
Voted NO on making it a crime to harm a fetus during another crime.
Voted NO on funding for health providers who don't provide abortion info.
Voted NO on banning Family Planning funding in US aid abroad.
Voted NO on making it a federal crime to harm a fetus while committing other crimes.
Voted NO on allowing school prayer during the War on Terror.
Voted YES on raising CAFE standards; incentives for alternative fuels.
Voted YES on prohibiting oil drilling & development in ANWR.
Co-sponsoredsigning on to UN Framework Convention on Climate Change

Doesn't make sense -it is the proverbial biting off your nose to spite your face. Voting for the democrat who is far far more liberal -fill in the blanks with either Hamos, Seals, etc who will totally be in Shakowsky's back pocket is self defeating . Shakowsky is worst thing to hit 9th and voting in another democrat only solidifies her base further. You will never find a candidate who agrees with everything in platform. From you log in name, I assume, like me, you admire McCain-he endorsed Kirk.

[weneedmccain]

I didn't admire McCain, he would have been another compassionate conservative and bloated government and spent like a Dem. However, he was the best chance of defeating Obama.

We have a great opportunity in 2010, but we can't miss the mark by allowing more of the same that caused the Dems to come into power in 2006 back in Congress.

Mark Kirk will do more to harm Republican principles and the platform for decades to come then if the Democrat were to win. This route will destroy the party.

by the way before everyone jumps on me i am not a personal injury trial lawyer.

[weneedmccain]

Kirk lost his fiscal conservative stance with his vote on cap and trade. He was either bought off or blackmailed. Either way, he's fully tainted. Not to mention his liberal social stands.

He does not represent the Republican Platform in any way.

If Kirk wins the primary, I will do something I have never done. I will vote for the Democrat candidate to help ensure Kirk doens't get in the Senate.

[triallawyer1]

I don't understand why the Republican paryt constantly has to fight themselves. Wake up! Mark Kirk is against the health care bill. Yes, he was wrong about cap and trade-completely wrong but so are all the conservatives going to vote for the democrat?!!!-that makes no sense. The other repub contenders do not stand a chance to get elected-we cannot afford to throw away another republican-to me at least that is nuts. ps. at least he held town hall meetings unlike some legislators.

[weneedmccain]

How can I best explain this. Mark Kirk represents all that was wrong with the last Republican Congress. They stood for nothing and got booted out.

We have a great opportunity come 2010 to take back Congress. But we can ill afford to take it back with RINO's like Mark Kirk.

He would do more to harm Republican standards and values than if a Democrat takes the spot.

We need quality candidates of backbone, integrity and character, that is NOT Kirk.

No more compromises!

Well, this isn't on the network news, thank you for providing this so people can see it.

A shame the venue was so small. Same thing happened in NH.

[kingofcoffe64]

thanks for posting sir.

[Andybob94]

I agree Mark Kirk is far too liberal for me. I also believe that without him, we haven't got a snowball's chance in hell of taking Roland Burris's Senate seat in 2010. He's better then the Democrat, so I'd vote for him. We just can't win in all the states with the same message.

[LandofDaFree]

You are absolutely right in coming out against Mark Kirk so hard. We just got rid of Arlen Specter, we don't need another one.
