Are you that far removed from the founding principles? This is exactly what the elites in NY and LA want---an excuse to run "their" candidates in ND and AZ and OH. It is an utter disaster, and cannot be excused.
What are you talking about? A representative is someone chosen by the people. They are choosing Keyes. By what right can we take issue with their choice? Let them choose for themselves.
Where is this 'principle' written? Define "COME FROM".
You have to be born in that state? Keyes comes from the American people. He's been in Illinois. Keyes represents the heart and soul of many Illinois voters.
By your principle, you'd have to be born in the state you are running in. Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, not Illinois. OBAMA VIOLATES YOUR 'PRINCIPLE'. So, get serious.
"Are you that far removed from the founding principles?"
Cite a quote from the Federalist on this. Otherwise you are blowing smoke. it would be very strange indeed for Hamilton to make a big deal of residency requirements!
"is exactly what the elites in NY and LA want"
oh so now Keyes is a candidate of the NY/LA elites ... ROLFMAO!!
Making a big deal out of this is: Narrowminded and picayune.
