People like you would rather have a Marxist represent you than a God-fearing American. If that's case in Illinois, you deserve a Senator who embodies the opposite of everything you believe in simply cause his opponent was born in Illinois. Well I have news for you - neither was Abraham Lincoln.
Interesting that people here are quoting Lincoln as was he was a unionist and certainly not in the camp of state's rights.
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.
