Kirk will keep spending in check

Trillions of dollars of new debt, a health-control bill that two-thirds of Americans want repealed and replaced, the $800 billion porkulus bill can we afford to be distracted from these realities? That's what the opposition is hoping with its smear campaign against Mark Kirk.

We can't afford to be distracted. We can't afford more trillions of dollars of debt loaded onto our children and grandchildren. Mark Kirk will spend less, borrow less and tax less. We need to keep our eye on the ball and elect Mark Kirk to the U.S. Senate. We can't afford the alternative.
