Kirk not perfect; better than Alexi

I appeal to my fellow conservatives. Like many of you, I did not vote for Mark Kirk in February's primary. I strongly disagree with some of the positions he's taken, so I chose a more conservative candidate.

But Kirk handily won the Republican nomination, and now faces an extreme liberal Democrat, one who will most certainly be a rubber stamp for the destructive agenda of Obama, Pelosi and Reid. True conservatives will not like all of Kirk's votes in the Senate; but I guarantee we won't like any of the votes a Sen. Giannoulious would cast.

Failure to vote on Nov. 2, or choosing a third-party candidate with no chance of winning, is the same as voting for Giannoulious and supporting the radical agenda being pushed by the current leaders in Washington.

I ask moderates and conservatives alike to join me in voting for Mark Steven Kirk.
