From Alexi Giannoulias Campaign:

Anyone who knows me knows I loathe the use of "breaking" in subject lines. I really do. But there's no other way to describe what just broke here on the ground.

In the midst of the scandal involving the U.S. Chamber's solicitation of overseas funds comes this breaking news: leaked documents show that Republican Congressman Mark Kirk held what his campaign called a "Beijing Fundraiser."

2. Well, I hope this breaks widely...

Welcome to DU, RhodaA and thanks for this news. :toast:

[RhodaA]

4. Very glad to be here.

5. It drives me absolutely nuts

when I hear the GOP/TP'er ads claiming Obama is responsible for the shipping of jobs overseas...and the GOP/TP'ers are gonna fight & bring 'em back.

Everytime a GOP/TP'er opens their mouth (runs an ad), you know the truth is the exact opposite of whatever BS they are spouting.

8. If this plays out

Giannoulias wins. Illinois unemployment is quite high and I don't think workers, those without jobs and those frightened they will lose theirs, will appreciate this.

16. I heard a Kirk Commercial earlier

saying the Mark Kirk knows health care. I for one can not believe that anyone will vote for this criminal.

[madrchsod]

21. Wasn't he the one that told China while he was there that the US government

could not be trusted, and even bragged about doing so?

[madrchsod]

23. the republicans will still vote for him...

maybe the undecided and moderates will be moved by this news but i`m not holding out hope that it will. the democrats in this state have a lot of baggage this year.

[unkachuck]

24. good one, RhodaA....

....and WELCOME!

"...the very next day after his self-labeled "Beijing fundraiser," Mark Kirk voted against closing the tax loopholes that encourage corporations to ship American jobs overseas to countries like China."

....why do Republicans hate the American people?

[mod mom]

26. Taking foreign $ only matters when it's Al Gore. The GOP is entitled

to receive funds from whatever dubious sources that wish to donate. :sarcasm:

watch the media ignore this. :mad:

As usual, Republicans are all about jobs... in the People's Republic of China.

[live love laugh]

31. Can't stand Kirk. A liar is a liar is a liar. Hope this is his Waterloo. nt

[xloadiex]

32. Kirk is a crook and a liar

I wouldn't vote for him if he was the only one on the ballot. Giannoulias received 3 votes from us yesterday.

[KansDem]

33. If just doesn't stop with these people!!!

F*cking liars and hypocrites! Always looking out for Numero Uno!!!

Who does this guy work for?...:grr:
