Mark Kirk, the socialist from IL.

[LowTaxesEqualsProsperity]

Kirk replaced a Dem, so he should not be an “extra” vote for this unconstitutional scam.

Murkowski voted no last time, why would she vote yes now?

[Tzimisce]

Not even a week and the sell out begins. :(:(:(

[Hugin]

He is up for reelection in 2012, correct? Start looking for a primary challenger now.

[kittymyrib]

Didn’t IL say they couldn’t certify him for the lame duck session because there wasn’t enough time? This Benedict Arnold may get speedy certification if he starts voting with the Dems.

[Personal Responsibility]

I’m waiting for the genius who said “Someone who is with you 60% of the time is 60% friend, not 40% enemy” to pipe in. And why is it that the RINO’s are with us 100% of the time on the small stuff and a very small percentage of the time on the big stuff? It’s like the bigger the choice the more they go the wrong way.

[GeronL]

Kirk should just switch parties.

[Nateman]

Kirk was one of the “evil 8” Republicans that voted for Cap and Trade. He is the main reason I was hoping for a win in W.Virgina or Delaware ,because of all the toxic poison waiting to flow over in the lame duck session. That of course is why the enemy ganged up on O’Donnell right from day one.

[ridesthemiles]

Will this same bill demand that each & every single UNION member be identified?????

[ridesthemiles]

Millions of dollars of donations to NObama’s 2008 campaign were never properly identified.

This is another of the double standards that the Dems try to force the Republicans into.

[MinnesotaLibertarian]

Before we all jump down Kirk’s throat preemptively, bear in mind this article is only speculation. In fact, he voted against this legislation as a Congressman, so I see no reason he’d flip and vote for it as a Senator.

[Sir Napsalot]

Those geniuses who think a Sen. Elect Castle would be different, please speak up.

[Tribune7]

I'm glad Kirk won just to rub it in the Dems noses that they lost 0's seat, and since the guy he was running against was a mob-connected thief we didn't lose anything by him winning the general, but only a damn fool would think Kirk was one of us.

[nbenyo]

On the positive side, Kirk has said no DREAM Act, no comprehensive immigration reform until the borders are secure.

Reid will be pushing this in the lame duck session, and is close to having enough votes to pass this.
Pryor is the only Dem not on board.
With Kirk seated, Reid may be stopped.
Manchin is also a wild card on this issue.

[rabscuttle385]

As expected...Mark Kirk (DIABLO-Illinois).

[Clump]

This is designed to chill free speech. Nothing more, nothing less. We have to hold the line here and not allow a vote.

[AuH2ORepublican]

I hope that this means that Kirk will vote for that ridiculous, unconstitutional bill next year (when it wouldn’t have a prayer of passing), not during the lame-duck session (Kirk promised that he would be a firm NO vote on anything controversial during the lame-duck session).

[Recovering_Democrat]

Hey RNC: SEE WHAT WE COULD’VE DONE WITHOUT? MAYBE YOU CLOWNS SHOULD HAVE PUT SOME MONEY BEHIND CHRISTINE AND SHARON!

[Soul Seeker]

But we should have helped elect Castle to buddy up with him? LOL

[Thunder90]

Kurk may turn tail and become a Democrat.
