I have to be careful where I tread while talking about Mark Kirk as my cousin is going to run against him for his seat.
Seriously, if that namby-pamby mealy-mouthed clod thinks he has a chance in hell of winning the senate seat, I think he should go for it. Spend all of his money, alienate the rest of the taxpayers who might have voted for him before all this... The voters he's trying to attract will always vote for the real democrat in the general anyway.
I knew, in 2005, that Rep. Kirk is more liberal than many Democrats. He’s pro-choice, pro-gun control, pro-gay marriage, pro-spending increases, pro-illegal alien, and anti-Iraq surge. In the 2006 primary, I ran against him, as a write-in candidate, and the Daily Herald said that I got 144 votes, although I didn’t spend any money, on the campaign.
