WASHINGTON DC – Yesterday, Illinois' U.S. Senator Mark Kirk (R) again sided with Senate Democrats in ignoring the terrorism problem facing the nation, and focusing instead on stricter gun laws following the Muslim terrorist attack in Orlando.
“This week we saw bipartisan momentum to protect Americans from gun violence,” said Senator Kirk. “The Senate should pass this bipartisan legislation and send it to the House of Representatives.”
Kirk missed his clear opportunity to run for reelection as a Democrat. He would instantly have become one of their most liberal Senators…
Kirk is in an untenable position, hated by Democrats because he is a Republican, and hated by Republicans because he isn’t.
Hey Kirk,
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Kirk should have run as a Democrat since 2000. He’s been liberal since then.
How could Kirk be this STUPID, unless he is being coached by a Democrat?
A Democrat such as his pal Dick Durbin!
or Pat Brady
The current laws ARE the bi-partisan legislation.
This fellow is burnt toast. No point in even commenting on him anymore.
An example of how far Kirk has fallen in GOP popularity was shown yesterday, Sunday June 26, in Geneva’s “Swedish Days” parade. This event is one of the largest in heavily-Republican Kane County. The Kane County GOP had a float, and several dozen marchers.
Only ONE “Kirk for Senate” supporter showed up. Nobody knew him. He brought a bunch of “Kirk” signs and a roll of “Kirk” stickers.
NO ONE would carry a “Kirk” sign, and few would accept a “Kirk” sticker. He was the loneliest man in the parade.
