Daily Dolt: Mark Kirk (ArchPundit)

archpundit@yahoo.com (Larry Handlin) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 19:49:26 GMT

Was he always this dumb? KIRK: We have a fundamental choice. We need to get off oil, but for the time being we are still dependent on it. We can either buy 80 billion barrels of oil from the Iranians or from ourselves. And we should buy it from ourselves. It’s hard to know where to start. [...]

Kirk in Context (ArchPundit)

archpundit@yahoo.com (Larry Handlin) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 18:00:46 GMT

Ellen addresses Mark Kirk’s BS regarding pay equity. I’ve added in some Kirk commentary: Kirk over simplifies and generally misleads constituents about the Paycheck Fairness Act by omission. Corporate wage secrecy is one of the enablers of wage discrimination. You might remember that Lilly Ledbetter lost her ability to sue for wage discrimination compensation because she...

IL-10: Baby May Have Back, but Mark Kirk's Sorry Email Push Poll is Thin on Facts (PrairieStateBlue - Front Page)

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 19:59:38 GMT

I posted this on KOS too. Yesterday we were all amused by brownsox' Kos post about Mark Kirk's admitted inclusion of the sexist song Baby Got Back in his iPod list particularly in light of his recent votes against gender pay equity. However, today it's not all that funny in light of an email he sent to constituents this morning defending his vote against the Paycheck Fairness Act.

Kirk on Track (BackyardConservative)

noreply@blogger.com (Anne) — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 03:40:23 GMT

Congressman Mark Kirk (R-10th) is on track to win again in November, raising a hefty $900,000 in the 2nd quarter alone, with his polling showing a 21 point lead over Seals. Energy is a key issue which Kirk has addressed, and Seals' buffoonery has obviously fallen flat. (Then there are Seals' obvious ties to the Chicago Machin e and Seals' lack of ties to the district .)
