Kirk is just the awesomest politician ever.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Senate candidate Mark Kirk wants to bring an early end to the government bailout of banks and automakers, a program he originally supported.
The Republican says the Troubled Asset Relief Program is no longer needed. Kirk says the government would save $16 billion by halting TARP immediately.
Even if no action is taken, the TARP program is supposed to stop accepting new projects next month.
Emphasis mine. A profile in courage.
For more fun, Kirk is undecided on the Dream ACT:
While Democrat Alexi Giannoulias says he supports the DREAM Act, Congressman Mark Kirk is undecided.
This is on the heels of cutting a Spanish language ad where he talks about his deep support for the Latino community. But he hasn’t made up his mind whether those who serve in the US Military or attend college can be allowed to stay in the country. Tough call on that one.
