Maybe he's just now coming out of the closet, so to speak?

I've heard him on the radio, and most of the news reports about him have centered on his service in the military.

However, I just found this piece of info which I never knew:

Quote
In Congress, Congressman Kirk works to advance a suburban agenda that is pro-defense, pro-personal responsibility, pro-environment, and pro-science. He wrote a number of provisions which became law, including funding for commuter rail, improving veteran's health care, ensuring military voting, and boosting aviation security.[4]

Kirk shepherded H.R. 810, the Stem Cell bill, through the House in 2005.

Kirk is co-chair of the Moderate Republican "Tuesday Group", a coalition of 40 centrist Republican Member of Congress. [5] Kirk is a member of some moderate Republican groups such as the Republican Main Street Partnership, the Republican Majority for Choice, Republicans for Choice, the Republican Leadership Council, and Republicans for Environmental Protection.

From wikipedia.

I'm curious to see if this will result in more stories about people not being able to afford home heating oil during winter or more panic-mongering during summer months after this legislation increases their utility bills, and if the jabbering goons pushing this garbage will be able to put two and two together.

Looks like I'll be hitting West Marine for the solar panels before they get too damned expensive.

That POS McHugh is my son of a bitch.  I don't know if he anticipates a further political career after his secretary gig is over, but I will do everything in my power to see that that does not happen.  Nor, any parks, fountains, rest stops and the like named after him in legacy.  Guys, I called and wrote and hounded him over this over and over.  His constituents are the low income class.  Around here, a job with a $22K salary is considered a good job.  We cannot afford this hoax.  I am so livid.

Oh, you all forget that Henry Waxman hired a speed reader to come in and read the bill to the committee.  As far as I am concerned, he is an arrogant SOB who needs to be voted out just for his display of utter contempt for the American people.

What a joke!  Let the speed reading begin!
