Someone should hand Obama a map and ask him where Williamson County is.
He already did.
In fact, it may surprise you to know that it was Obama himself who offered to do six Lincoln/Douglas debates.
He's arrogant and over-confident.
Obama pushed a bill requiring that those convicted of a capital crime could not be executed unless they CONFESSED. That is just the tip of the iceberg. Just another far-left wacko, albeit a well-spoken wacko.
The defeatist's mantra.
Why Keyes felt duty bound to enter this long shot of a race.
I WAS AT THE RALLY!! I also took 2 friends, BOY we are fired up and I am gonna work my ass off for KEYES!!!
On another happy note.....
""In fact, Republican Jim Oberweis, who flanked Keyes onstage along with other GOP candidates who lost in the primary to Ryan, called the race with Obama no less than "a debate between good on the right and evil on the left." ""
Jim Oberweis has been the lone voice in the wilderness of candidates speaking out on ILLEGAL Immigration issues and getting trashed for being a so called racist.
I have been his vigilant supporter and he approached me at the KEYES rally and said" I want to thank you personally for all that you have done for me I really appeciate it."
BOY, That made it all worth it. He is a great stand up guy, Humble enough to realize he needs folks. I was really touched, I didn't think he noticed!!
You're so right.
Obama also voted for a bill that would have made legal the killing of born, breathing babies.
He's a whacko.
Might be fun, for the osama of illinois politics to defend the osama of world politics, BTW can you image the face of little dickie if he has to introduce Alan as the junior senator from illinois.
These locations were: Ottawa, Freeport, Jonesboro, Charleston, Galesburg, Quincy, and Alton.
Never happen.
Exactly.
It was great!
Wish I could have met you there!
<< Alan Keyes [Now of] Illinois is [WAY] better than Hillary Clinton .... [Who never was but] a lousy carpetbaggger .... Anyone who voted for her was an imbecile.
How can we now support Keyes? .... [Why --]
just because he's in the GOP [AND IS] .... a decent Republican ... >>
Get real.
This is the United States of America and if you or I can live anywhere we damned well chose -- then so can Mr Keyes -- one of America's finest Men -- and a Republican Party Giant!
God bless him and guide his passage into the United states Senate!
I know Keyes used to have strong principles. One of them was pointing out the audacity of HRC to run for Senate in a state she did not reside in. I guess some principles are more important than others.
Is this a veiled reference to Alan's skin tone???
Yes, some principles are more important than others. You're just learning this?
Keyes won't be representing anyone. He's going to lose and lose big. My problem isn't with him, I like him, it's with the hypocrisy of Republicans. We accuse the Dimwitocrats of dirty tactics and then we engage in the same practices. Everyone who got up on their moral high horse and denounced Hillary should say the same about Keyes. If you don't, you're no better than the opposition. I didn't like it when she ran in New York and I won't support him in Illinois.
This used to be called having principles. Unfortunately, having honor and principles has no place in modern politics. It's win at any cost and screw everything you are supposed to believe in.
Fortunately, I won't ever have to vote for a Marxist. In Arizona we have plenty of Republicans. Too bad Illinois seems to have a shortage.
Why would Keyes be a carpetbagger when MS. Rodham settled this to liberal's satisfaction four years ago?
That's fine for them. They are hypocrites, so that means we should be, too? Count me out.
I am a big fan of Keyes as well. Unfortunately, I'm trying to be realistic here and think he has no chance in hell of actually winning this race. I haven't seen early polling on this, but I just don't think a relatively liberal state like Illinois would ever support a staunch conservative like Keyes. We can all dream though...
