I'm not saying only a Jesse Jesse Helms conservative is acceptable, I'm just asking for someone conservative enough to actually belong in the Republican Party. A Republican should be conservative at least the majoirty of the time (like Norm Coleman or Al D'mato). Kirk doesn't fit that bill, he'll be another Specter/Snowe. He's closer to being a democrat than a conservative and that's not acceptable. His use if elected will be limited. He'll organize with the GOP (unless he decides to switch, there is a constant risk of that) but he'll be a thorn in our side like Snowe.
If it comes down to his center-left hide versus a more liberal democrat in the "general" election I'll probably vote for him but I'll be voting for the lesser of 2 democrats.
Conservatives in Illinois are right to contest and protest his nomination.
Do I need to post it a third time in extra large type before you get the picture instead of picking out a single line out of context to criticize? That line was to preface the rest of my post wherein my excellent point you have no response to was made.
OK , you are talking specifics and I am talking generalities.
