I'm ready for a congressman who's values actually represent the district. I'm ready for a Congressman who's going to represent a D +6 district by actually voting with Democrats. Dan Seals is that person and all of the major local newspapers that actually cover the 10th seem to agree with me.<br /><br />Bob Dolt's 15 minutes are up.

Hell no. Alexi has yet to identify anything that he has accomplished of merit or that he is anything more than a spoiled rich kid who has screwed up every job he's had. <br /><br />So while you spout your talking points about Mark Kirk, the reality is that he has succeeded throughout his career. He knows how to do the job in D.C. and won't be a rubber stamp, unlike Alexi. <br /><br />There's a reason Kirk is up in the polls and a reason why almost all of the newspapers are endorsing him.A.

I’m told that 12 people participated in the event. ===<br /><br />So, unlike Lexi going to Canada, this was a little different, and the participants, again according to Cap Fax, were Americans, not Chinese.

You apparently learned geography at the same moron academy that taught pup that hyde park was local to the north shore. <br /><br />your boy alexi, also said during the meet the press debate that he wants to recruit more educated immigrants to come here and to "staple a green card to their backs". That's a policy opposed by most serious non brain dead american politicians because it means giving white collar jobs (hello abbott, baxter, ect) to foreigners rather than laid off illinoisans. Good luck selling that d-pstick policy in northbrook.<br /><br />I finally saw the wttw debate on tv last night. I haven't been able to see any of the other debates. But there was a thing at the end where they asked about regrets about "current job". The pup noted the failure of his startup as "his current job". <br /><br />It's funny because I thought the point failed 3 years ago. Perhaps the gumshoes at team america can correct me, but pup has never said during this campaign that he was working for the point. So then foklaeaps is stumped, why would a candidate who does not currently work for a company claim that it's his current job? pup just can't help himself from lying.<br /><br />dold was bland and apparently does not read team america's blog, but he should have caught that and slammed him for it. Dold, for his flaws actually works here and has a business and I would have expected him to deck the pup for what the pup's failed economic policies have done to his business. A little more dick green mad as hell was in order.<br /><br />I thought brackett was a misreble failure and biased against dold. She asked no tough questions of pup, and they were all about limousine liberal issues like social security cuts and abortion.<br /><br />oh and the dccc just unloaded a million dollar ad buy AGAINST dold this afternoon. <br /><br />10/19/10 General Democratic Congressional Campaign Cmte Oppose Robert Dold (R) $631,633.28 Media Buy<br /><br /><br />FOKLAEAPSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-46286103873455093892010-10-20T18:14:37.231-05:002010-10-20T18:14:37.231-05:00TA, I hate to break the news to you, but it seems ...TA, I hate to break the news to you, but it seems that Kirk has huge problems with corruption.
