Mark Kirk's Money Trails (Illinois)

Comment

Kirk sounds like he's been bought and paid for, but spliting the Republican party is just another technique of the Liberal Democrats to win an election when no one wants them.

The tea party movement is influencing both parties. To split the vote now is suicide for conservatives in all parties. It is better to stand behind a candidate who has a good chance of winning then go after him to expose his backers than to vote for a sure fire loser who may be nothing but a liberal plant intended to split the Republican vote.

The tea parties and this site are playing right into the liberal Democrat hands.

I heard from someone on this site (sorry I can't remember who!) that Hughes was not honest about his supporters- if he participated in a debate and someone came up to question him, he added that person to his list of supporters - which was wrong.
The person who told me this said Lowery is the best candidate- I hope it is not too late to get the word out!

Judge Don Lowery only had the support of Tea Party members that recieved limited info on him. What does this election tell us about the Republican Party? It seems to me that they are giving lip service while still supporting progressive candidates. I posted a blog on the GOP site. I am clear it will not make it's way to Micheal Steele so I plan to register mail him a copy. We can not go into this 2010 election with GOP just packing the elections with progressive candidates calling themselves conservatives. It is really crazy after the Brown election that they are screwing it up in Illinois

I am embarrassed to have the same name. Do you think I could copyright my name and make him change his. What is the alternative to Kirk?

This is the very reason I went to the 9/12 March on Washington! I do not want liberal Republicans and/or Democrats running our nation! From his voting record...is Mark Kirk a conservative? I do not care what he is saying now! I care how he voted back than! Does anyone here think he is a conservative? If so, please convince me because I do not think I could vote for him! I am tired of voting for Republican liberals because they are a little better than the other liberals. I think I will stay home for the first time......if Mark Kirk is the only choice I have!

Who ever wins the primary should have the other's votes once the primaries are over.

The conservatives are so divided on who we should support, that our votes will be divided! We needed to put all our support behind one person, which did not happen.... because of this, I believe Kirk will win this primary! What are we going to do about it???

At this point Judge Lowery is showing so low in the polls, it sure would be nice if he would give his small pecentage over support to Patrick Hughes!!!! Considering what's at stake we should all be realistic about the only way this "movement" is going to work.

I posted about it on my blog and should have it up on Illinois Review later.

This is an eye opener to all of our elected officials, not just this race. The whole system needs an overhaul. Since we pay for National Public T.V. and Radio, I've always wondered why that can not be used solely for election purposes. Let candidates post their intention to run for any party. Hold debates with all candidates involved for a series of 6-8 weeks..,then the election. It would cut out all the big money, give an equal playing field to all, so we could elect men of integrity and upholders of the Constitution, as it is now, those with money seem to rule. It also would save us all from the political "slam" ads and the zoo of lies it has now become. Just an idea!
