Have you seen that Kirk has already started his campaign?

[marym625]

TV ads about his stroke recovery and military service.

Now I think his comeback from that horrible stroke shows he is a fighter. I applaud him for his hard work. But I don't want him fighting for me. His interests have nothing to do with me

The ad is so blatantly an attempt to try and compare his personal situation to that of Tammy Duckworth, it's shameful

Having a stroke is hardly the same as being in combat and losing limbs.

Duckworth for Senate!

1. K&R.....

[marym625]

2. He must be scared to be putting out ads this early.

That's actually great news!

3. early polls have not been kind. I was called

for a quickie poll, which tried to be discrete, but seemed to come from Capt. Kirk.

[marym625]

4. interesting

I am going to campaign for Sanders. But I will have to do something for Duckworth

We should have a get together in Chicago this summer

[ChairmanAgnostic]

5. agreed

I hail from SW cook county. Still kick myself about finding out we only have two pubs, but 14 churches within a mile of here.

[marym625]

6. oh. yeah

I used to live in Homewood. 5 churches I can think of right off the bat. Not that big a town

[mopinko]

7. good. spending early and often is good.

i wonder how many people think, like i do, that he should have stepped down after that stroke. he couldnt do his job. how many private sector jobs would have kept him on the payroll that long?

[marym625]

8. They would have had to

At least if they had 50 or more employees. Though I agree with you. It would have been the right thing to do

Obviously, he is much more important to himself than the people he represents. And not in any "you have to love yourself" kind of bull hockey

[mopinko]

9. meh. they would find a way.

give him a nice parting gift and send him on his was. if he was high enough up in the ranks, most companies would not have waited on him. and they dont have to give him back the same job, just A job. pay him what he was getting, but assign him to clean the toilets.

i just find it amazing that he still manages to portray himself as "a moderate". he is anything but.

[marym625]

10. Oh he proved that big time with the Iran letter

And he lost a great deal of his support. I can't wait for him to be gone

[mopinko]

11. 'twill be a thing of beauty

to watch tammy mop the floor with him.

[marym625]

12. and she will!

[truebrit71]

16. I sure hope so...

...

[marym625]

17. No doubt

[whathehell]

13. Yup..Saw the ad milking his stroke victim status big time.

I think I even heard violins.

[marym625]

14. I think you are right!

Violins. Reeks of desperation. Yay!

[whathehell]

15. LOL!

[murielm99]

18. He says that Lindsey Graham is

"The bro with no ho."

We need to haunt him with this.

[marym625]

19. Oh yeah!

I didn't see that? Can you please link that?

Thanks!

[murielm99]

20. Here is one:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-mark-kirk-graham-met-0612-20150611-story.html#page=1

There are several news stories. I think we should keep it on the front burner.

[marym625]

21. Thank you!

He's gone

Tammy will smoke his butt!.

[Sienna86]

22. He received excellent medical care but sought to deny that to others

That is his worst offense to me. I will happily seek out opportunities to support Tammy Duckworth.

[marym625]

23. +1000

Pretty disgusting stuff
