He's one Man against the Liberal Democrat Mob(Alexi) and the Liberal GOP Machine(Kirk) in Illinois.They say he can't win. He's on the Ballot but they won't let him debate. Help give him a voice so "the people" can decide.
Should they allow everyone that can make it on the ballot into the debates?
RINO’s should not get our votes people.
Yes, Kirk is a liberal. Not quite as bad as Castle, but pretty bad.
But we conservatives couldn’t beat him in the primary. And Gianopolis would be a disaster for our country, and for Illinois.
I would urge people in Illinois not to shoot themselves in the foot by electing Gianapolis by default, by thinking they can throw their vote away on a 3rd-party candidate who has no chance of winning a general election victory.
I am disgusted that the GOP thought a liberal who was one of only eight GOP congressmen to vote for cap and trade was the right candidate for the Illinois seat, but unfortunately he is the GOP candidate. If the GOP primary voters couldn’t find and support and nominate a better candidate than Kirk when it mattered (in the primary) then it is simply foolish to try to gin up support for an independent who is polling at 5%.
Kirk - as liberal as he is - would still be better than Alexi. He would give the GOP one more seat even if his vote is not a reliable vote. And even if he voted with the GOP and against the Obama agenda just 10% of the time that would still be better than the democrat Alexi who will vote WITH Obama 100% of the time.
We know. We know all about the man.
My read on Mark Kirk is that he is spineless.
A few new tough conservative Senators should be able to keep the weakling in line.
Elect the most conservative that can win.
Personally, I wouldn’t mind having two of the ten new Republicans in the Senate be RINOs.
Speak out against masturbation and then say he dabbled in witchcraft.
What does Illinois Tea Party candidate Michael Labno have to do to get some attention around here?
How about stop spliting the conservative vote and guranteeing a Democrat victory. That might be a start.
Most tea partiers have shown a lot of common sense this year. They got involved in the GOP primaries early, ousted the incumbent RINO, and replaced them with a conservative.
Anyone (everyone, no matter who they are) that forms a third party and calls it “The Tea Party” should be shunned, condemned, and cursed out to their face by tea partiers. 3rd parties just get Democrats elected, and are only formed by either Democrats (tring to split the conservative vote or conservative with no common sense.
“... and with Labno only pulling five percent, if I can convince enough people to switch from the flawed Kirk, the even more flawed Democrat can win.”
I have no love for Kirk. He is a RINO at best. However, in a race this tight, I must look at any article this close to the election that pushes a third party candidate as probably having it’s roots with the DNC. No matter how good Labno is, he didn’t get the support of the people in Illinois in the primary and can only be a negative in this election.
One bite at a time. We have bigger fish to fry. Christine O’Donnell is an example of someone who did get the support of the people, is the candidate on the ballot and needs help.
I agree that Kirk is a RINO. It has been known all along. But the best way to deal with that is beat his ass in the primary so the conservative can be on the GOP ticket.
When you get to the general it is time to be pragmatic. The RINO or the crooked Dem who will be 0bama’s sock puppet. It is just crazy talk for a third party candidate to try to gain 45 plus points in about 3 weeks.
O’Donnell and McMahon have a tough hill to climb and they are on the GOP ticket and down 9 to 15 points.
It makes me tired when third party candidates up their take of votes to 10% instead of 5% and think they have done some great thing other than assure that the worst possible candidate gets elected.
“Wait, before you get all worked-up and accuse me, an Illinois Democrat, of trying to persuade the right to lean left, please continue reading because my point has zilch to do with Giannoulias…I simply want to make sure that the person you vote for accurately and properly represents you.”
Yeah right b***h, I know that you just care about us poor conservatives you lousy hack Holder!
IL had it’s primary way too early in April, This gave the establishment rino Republican Kirk an enormous advantage. It takes time for a poorly funded TP, conservative candidate to gather steam.
IL should move it’s primary down a few months. I doubt that this would happen because of established interests on both sides. If we had a real conservative candidate running as Republican, they would be way up in the polls. All you have to do is look at what’s happening in WI. WI has Ron Johnson, a conservative candidate and political novice who is kicking Feingold’s butt. Now, the Dim hack Tamara Holder is trying to turn off grass roots conservatives from supporting Kirk.
This is a true Hobson’s choice. Do we take the conniving Dims hack’s advice and throw away your vote on a poorly funded but principled candidate?, do we stay home?, or do we vote for the liberal Kirk rather than the radical Leftist Alexi G?
I don’t know what the right answer is, but I can say that the hack Tamara Holden will vote for the corrupt Leftist every time.
Those who would support Mark Kirk just because he’s a Republican would support Barack Obama if he was a Republican.
Because other than the letter by their name there isn’t any difference that matters between Kirk and Obama.
Kirk is one GOP candidate who absolutely must lose. It is a real shame that Illinois Republicans turned out to be clueless morons, but there you go... Decent Americans in Illinois need to stay far away from this race. Kirk must not win. He is a Specter/Chafee/Jeffords waiting to happen.
Better to be knifed in the face by an enemy than stabbed in the back by a “friend”.
Kirk would get my vote over Obama-ite Chicagoland corruptocrat like Alexi G.
That’s not an endorsement of Kirk’s record, but I’ll take someone who voted against the stimulus, Obamacare, and FinReg over another leftist Obama hack. Plus, the symbolic victory of taking Obama’s senate seat means something.
This article was written to help the Democrat win! It’s a political trap, for all non-leftist readers of this article! The MSM, really, wants all of the Democrats to “win it all”, any way that they can win, on November 2! The MSM doesn’t care about, either, Mike Labno, or Libertarianism, unless they can help Democrats win, on November 2! Don’t fall for this “puff piece” on Mike Labno, because the MSM is, just, trying to split the total non-leftist votes among the Libertarian candidate and the Republican candidate, on November 2!
The primary is over. Vote for the person on the Republican ticket.
