Ill Senator Mark Kirk has also gone fully liberal Koolaide.
Just like the Republicans in California, they decide to run as Democrats, even though they are profoundly beaten every election. Their response? “We must become more liberal!”
They either don’t get it, or don’t want to get it.
Today, when Pat Brady was interviewed by Rick Pearson, on WGN, I heard Brady say that, in the fall, he won’t vote for Trump or Clinton.
A conservative cannot get elected in Illinois. Best we can hope for is a middle of the roader (RINO) who tries to hold the line on the Marxist fanatics who control the democrat party.
Sen. Kirk has been liberal for at least the last 15 years. I live in his congressional district. During most of the time that he was in the U.S. House (2001-’11), his ratings from Planned Parenthood were 100%, and his ratings from Gun Owners of America were 0%. He frequently votes for unconstitutional pork barrel spending, including spending for HUD, Headstart, local police departments, and commuter trains.
The sad thing is .. Trump’s solutions USED TO BE REPUBLICAN SOLUTIONS.
But, these comments show why Illinios is in such a terrible state, while Indiana is flourishing under a Repub Gov using Repub solutions.
The left will never get it.
....such as Jebbie, Romney...Kasich....and other signers of the pledge to support the Republican presidential candidate
If you mean GOPe republican then I agree...If you are carping go somewhere else
***************
Although my comment was directed primarily at the GOPe, because they are in charge, the Republican Party as a whole is certainly not blameless. It is the base that has allowed the establishment to run amok like it has election after election when it should have been held accountable. Government spending and debt keep rising, government keeps growing larger, and our freedoms keep shrinking under Republican majorities in congress. These are not conservative principles, and by and large the current incarnation of the Republican Party is not really conservative in my opinion.
We desperately need new solutions and a new direction in the party. I think Trump-Pence can start the process of reorienting the party’s priorities and principles. That’s just my opinion.
As for your suggestion that I go somewhere else just because my thoughts may differ from yours, may I remind you that I’ve been on FR a lot longer than you have and I have been contributing comments and making financial contributions the entire time. I don’t kowtow to thought police and will post where ever and when ever it pleases me.
Please see my #47. Its related.
My comment about carping is in regards to the current nominee. Jim has made it very clear....FR is not a democracy nor necessarily a free speech arena.
Trump is the nominee. The voters have voted. His policies are ones I can easily get behind....How about you?
I have supported Trump for a long time. And I like his pick of Pence for VP.
We need to shake up the Republican Party. It has lost its way.
I’ve never had any issue with the administration of this site. And I’ve been on it for a very long time.
To correct a misspelling in the headline. It should be ILL instead of IL.
“Illinois Republican” is lunatic-speak for Democrat.
*YEEEEEAWWWWNNNNN* Wow, my ears popped...
Another “conservative” traitor smoked out by the Trump Effect.
Then we are all on the same page
Happily so
All I did was ask for clarification of your stance....I did that because there have been one or two who damn by feint praise
Sounds to me like Kirk isn’t just a RINO, he’s a DIABLO.
You know, I don’t have a problem with people who don’t like Trump. I wish they did, but that’s their right in our democracy. But at the same time they have a responsibility to make their arguments using facts rather than on unfounded speculation and pure emotion.
In America we can agree to disagree, or at least that’s how it should be. And then we cast our votes and live with the results. That’s our system.
Trump has a huge (pun intended) challenge ahead of him. I hope he’s ready for the battle of his life. Because this election is for all the marbles.
Let Trump be Trump. Ignore all polls. Get Out The Vote
I just wish that folks who are onvious dems would change their affiliation and quit living a lie
