Another Senate Race To Watch

This time, it's the Republican Primary in Illinois, which pits Mark Kirk against a bunch of other people, including a Tea Party Endorsed candidate. Needless to say, I am not a fan of the RNC and GOP leadership, but the gay slurs being thrown around by one of his opponents is a disgrace.

Look, oppose Kirk for his voting record. Oppose Kirk for his stance on issues. Oppose Kirk just because. But gay baiting? Fuck. And. No. The people doing that need to be jackhammered by a steer so deep that their ears get jealous.

So fuck off, gay baiters. And come up with a better reason to oppose a guy.

***NOTE: I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THE TEA PARTY GUY WAS THE ONE MAKING THE GAY SLURS. BUT I WAS WRONG. SOME OTHER GUY IS DOING THE SLUR STUFF. REGARDLESS OF WHO SPREADS THE RUMORS, WE SHOULD LEAVE SOMEBODY'S CHOICE OF (LEGAL, NO CHRIS HANSEN PAYS YOU A VISIT TYPE) GENITAL GRATIFICATION OUT OF OUR VOTING PATTERNS ***

I live in Kirk's district and I actually heard the radio ad mentioned in the article last week. At first, I thought I just happened to turn into Rush during one of his parodies, but then I realized that it was an actual commercial being broadcast on the radio.

I was absolutely shocked that someone would even attempted to run with an ad like that. Really, don't vote for a guy because he might be a homosexual? Or because he hires homosexuals (this was part of the ad)? Really?

It's beyond parody.

2 Mark Kirk continued: He's also for cap and tax. Qweerty thinks he's in the closet.*

Patrick Hughes - Republican running against Mark Kirk in the primary. Endorsed by Mark Levin.

Andy Martin - Republican running against Mark Kirk in the primary. This is the guy running the radio ads about Kirk's sexuality - the ad can be heard here. He doesn't directly accuse Kirk of teh ghey, but calls him a de facto pedophile for not stopping Mark Foley, and if I had a guess, he's trying to harness the rumors about Kirk's sexuality. There may be other ads out there that are more disgusting.

*In my opinion, the only reason that should be an issue is because of the mess it could create down the road. I'd rather have an out, loud, and proud conservative candidate than a RINO who's being dishonest with his voters.

3 darnit, there's a missing comment that's trapped in the spam filter that talks more about Kirk than just where he likes to stick his naughty bits. I don't know how to clean the spam trap.

4 If Kirk supports mandatory ballroom dancing, I'm not voting for him.

5 Wow, that ad was real? I was visiting Chicago this week (don't worry eddie, I only looked at Wrigley Field, I didn't contract Kubitis), and I heard that ad. I thought it was a joke!

6 There's a spam filter?

Great. Now I have Pedo Bear stuck in my head. Thanks. So. Much.

7 I tried to say that so long as what a person does is legal and not inviting a visit from Dateline, it should be left out of political discourse.

We have a top of the line spam filter. It happens to be designed by a certain boot which shall not be named ...

9 The guy doing the ads, Andy Martin (R), used to be Anthony Robert Martin-Trigona. Anthony Robert Martin-Trigona was a Democrat for decades, has run for about every office their is, files frivolous law suits all the time, and is a plain overall nutbag. In the 60's he would go into the Daily Illini building dressed in fatigues and tried to convince college reporters to go to Vietnam with him and get "the scoop".

Why would Republicans support a candidate who supported the peodophile Mark Foley? Did we learn nothing from 2006 and Obama's safe for peodophiles school Czar?
