Just another piece of evidence that Duckworth is from the same brand of corrupt Democrats that propelled Rod Blagovich to the governor's mansion.

Shocking that the Rupert Murdoch owned tabloid would call a Democratic Senate candidate a liar!

Duckworth is terrible obviously, but it's not as if Kirk is any better.
This ^^^^^^

At least Tammy Duckworth doesn't appeal to xenophobia to be elected Smiley

Yeah, I don't really like Duckworth and never have. If Kirk were to vote like he has in the past year I wouldn't mind if he stayed in office... but he won't and even if Duckworth is terrible, at least she's our terrible.

If Duckworth loses voters like you, it would basically end her chances.

To be honest, this is very dishonest of the Duckworth campaign and solidifies my support for Kirk.

Yes, yes he really is.

Never understood your issue with him, and all I can guess is that people like Kirk are stopping the GOP from being strictly a sanctuary for culturally conservative populists (that's the closest I've been able to pinpoint your pretty non-existent political ideology).

"Kirk's pro-choice, so he's basically a Democrat" is TN's thinking.

The people of Illinois will vote in Lyin' Tammy regardless, sadly.  Party label trumps all in these parts.

Not that they're the end-all-be-all, but both of TN Vol's PM scores are left of center AND he insists on being thought of as an independent, so if he's in the business of declaring anyone in either party as being not "sufficiently" partisan, he's a moron.

This, and he's also an useless warmonger. I would vote Third Party in this race, but If I had to choose between Kirk and Duckworth, I'd go with Duckworth.

This must be the first time on this forum I've actually seen you talk policy instead of polls and NH.

Bad move on her part, to be sure, and I hope we won't be seeing more of this. Either way, let's be honest: Kirk hasn't helped himself over the past year, and he's running in a much more difficult environment than 2010, even though he's distanced himself from Trump. I don't hate Kirk, and there are definitely Republicans (*cough*JOHNSON*cough*) I'd rather see lose, but Kirk is probably DOA.

Uh, I'm not? Nice conspiracy theory, though. Also, if we're only going by PM scores, YOUR PM score indicates that you're not really a Republican.


Ah, but you see, my friend: I AM A REPUBLICAN.  You're not.  I'm registered as a Republican.  I identify as a Republican.  I have a vested interest in the party's future and do my part to shape its platform.

So yeah, I will get a little testy if you - again, someone with nothing to do with our party - are trashing good Republicans like Mark Kirk for not being sufficiently conservative when he has provided a reliable vote for GOP leadership, tax breaks, pro-business policies, etc. and just happens to also believe a woman should have a right to choose.

He's still using racist resentment, xenophobia in order to be reelected.

That's not xenophobia, it's national security. There is a legitimate problem with our system of admitting refugees, and a quasi-open border policy here would be disastrous like it has been for Europe.

It's not national security, it's xenophobia. This is just an attempt to use racist feelings of americans in order to win elections.

LOL. It is a fact that our vetting process is flawed. Duckworth's plan to introduce 20 times more refugees than the president is an endangerment to our nation.
