On the heals of a congressional vote to de-fund ACORN, U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) is calling on the U.S. Census to sever all ties to Illinois' largest union, the Service Employees International Union, because that union, Kirk says, is too close to ACORN.

Ah Kirk; the opportunistic RINO chimes in.
Now he tries to cover his vote in favor of Cap and Tax with this move.
Won't work Marky, you're going down in the Primary.

The GOP should be forming coalitions within to battle all these groups, bills, amendments and people in and around this administration, not just one here and one there. This goes deep and has tentacles that are far reaching. Do they really think there a shoo in come 2010 and 2012. We want to see serious concertive movement against the enemy before they regain our trust.

Desperate, last-second pandering to conservatives. Glad he is. Let him pander some more. If Karl Marx rises from the grave and wants the Census to cut ties to SEIU, I'll take his support too.

On the heals of a congressional vote..... "heals"? Can't the Sun Times do better than that?
My fourth graders know the difference.
To: Brugmansian
I live in Illinois but not in Kirk's district. His Cap and Trade vote defines him.

EAsy schmeasy, defund ACORN, refund the new ACORN: Community Organizers International.
The two step shuffle.

all politicians should be calling for this How could anyone not want these SEIU members from knocking on their door, asking how many live in the house, how much everyone makes and how many bathrooms they have?
To: Brugmansian
Someone asked me how to spell SEIU. I told him I though it was A-C-O-R-N.

Bingo. By sheer coincidence, Kirk needs to win a primary for the first time in nine years and NOW hes going after Acorn and attacking Obama for funding Libya? Interesting. So where was Kirk LAST year when we could have stopped Obama? If he was genuinely against Obama and had a consistent track record on that, sure I'd give him kudos for it even if he's wrong on other issues. But praise for his temporary faux concern about Obamas corruption? No way.
Kirk's voting record from Jan. 2001 - July 2009 shows his true colors. The brief span of Sept. 2009 - Jan. 2010 will be a dog and pony show designed to make it past a primary with conservatives across the nation watching him like a hawk.
Sorry. Conservatives aren't buying your phony politically motivated actions, Marky. Everyone knows that once Feb '10 rolls around you'll be back kissing Hussein's ring again and gloating about how "independent" you are of the nasty right-wingers. Nice try, RINO.

So apparently, you favor political expediency over principles.

So apparently, you favor political expediency over principles. That's an odd way to look at it. If Biden comes out against Cap and Trade, I'm supposed to not agree with him? If Obama drops ObamaCare I'm supposed to be for it because Obama dropped it?
To: Lurker
Hey, so he’s an a**hat, this is a good call, regardless of his reasons. Maybe some others will join in. We don’t need any of ACORN’s minions handling the census.
