How much do we love the lights in her crown!
ConservativeBrand was in on Mark Kirk’s conference call tonight and still doesn’t buy Kirk’s excuses. He is rationalizing that the only bad thing about the Cap & Trade bill is the few dollars more we will pay on our 10th District electricity bills. He speculates that the Senate won’t pass it anyway, so he is safe - and then we will all
forget-about-it after he votes the right way on socialized health care. Big surprize - for once, nobody is buying this baloney. There’s al lot more to the legislation, which he supposedly read - for instance permitting international regulation of trade (in the 3 a.m. add-on). This is about our country and our Constitution. Kirk does not get to split the difference and give one vote to liberals and one to conservatives. He is crying into his pillow now because he didn’t realize that moderates understand the issues as well as conservatives. He is really going to have to get a real job this time.
Fox News just confirmed (through Todd Palin) that
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will resign from office at the end of the month. Was it the Vanity Fair smear? Don’t think so. Was it a full-time run for the presidency? Not likely. Seems to us that the Palins have their priorities pretty well in order; this might be their time to make a real difference - by building an even stronger family at home in Alaska, and maybe by finding some ways to make a more lasting difference in this world, where most of the politicians are just paying to play.
Radio commentator and columnist Tom Roeser hits every nail on the head in his column on Illinois GOP politics. He loves Kirk Dillard for governor and Kathy Salvi for lieutenant governor. Gives you all you need to know about possible newcomers to the state ticket: Brian Wesbury (Wall Street Journal op.ed. columnist and economist, U.S. Senate), Adam Andrzejewski (comptroller), and Dan Proft (something, but in the future). What a surprize: Mark Kirk is toast.

Uh oh - the 10th District wants a trial separation from the Congressman.
Eric Elk, who was hired to “represent conservatives” on Congressman Kirk’s staff, is glumly reporting that both offices are beling deluged with furious messages and emails after Kirk’s vote for Cap$Trade legislation - that would be the vote that put Democrats over the top. Word is that Kirk called former campaign director Mike Morgan today for consolation. Maybe he should look beyond environmentalista and Obama-lover Andrea Hoffman for advice on how to vote. Hey, some conservative politicians actually start out with a set of principles and use them to decide how to vote.
After the Senate conference process completes the legislation, Kirk will have another chance to vote RIGHT. Let’s hope this week turns out to be an epiphany.

Mark Kirk, along with the seven other turn-coat RINOs who gave the Dems Cap$Trade(Tax), was among the top 20 recipients of PAC donations from environmental groups in the 2008 election cycle. He received $1,000 from the League of Conservation Voters (PAC), $4,000 from Ocean Champions (PAC) and $4,000 from Republicans for Environmental Protection (PAC).
