Kirk as independent is marketing ploy
Marketing Mark Kirk as independent and moderate is like describing Fox News as fair and balanced. Mark Kirk has been a proponent of the following extreme policies of President Bush:
The invasion of Iraq
Fiscal irresponsibility
Delaying meaningful action on global warming
Denying the expansion of the state health insurance program to impoverished children- Children!
I had twice voted for Mark Kirk, but now it's time for him to walk the plank.
