But that may not be enough in a year where home-state presidential nominee Barack Obama is generating huge Democratic enthusiasm at the top of the ticket.Good. Mark Kirk deserves to go down in flames. And then pointed and laughed at as he skulks away.
Except aside from this blog, I've seen little interest on the part of district gun owners to punish him. So if they don't care, it's tough for me to--except to note that their apathy and refusal is what guarantees that Republicans can always feed them a nice steaming pile of "who else you gonna vote for?" with confidence.
And then their apologists can berate people of principle for voting their conscience, and accuse them of wasting their votes and enabling enemy victory.
Kirk is apparently reduced to offering bribes to campaign "volunteers."
ReplyDeleteGrassroots in action.
I'll have to see if "Team America" has anything to say about this.

ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget the scoldings they engage in when talking to "principles freaks".
I live in Kirk's district.
ReplyDeleteI'll vote for him, no matter the AWB problem.
Kirk wants this partial gun ban; his opponent Dan Seals wants a total gun ban. Seals makes Obama look moderate.
Letting Seals into the House is, I'm afraid, an even more vile alternative.
So that's my principle thing.
What incentive will the republicans ever have to "change," doing things your way? And do you have a line in the sand where you will not reward them, even if the democrat is "worse"?
ReplyDeletethat ain't grassroots. them's weed roots.
