Freeper Alert! Sign Petition to GOP Leaders: Support & Fund Keyes Campaign!
Unspun's Website Site ^ | 08/10/2004 | Arlen Williams

Sign and Forward Petition to GOP:
Support & Fully Fund Keyes Campaign!

Fellow FReepers,

One of our active members in the Illinois chapter, Unspun, has created an e-petition calling on Republican leaders on both the state and national level to immediately fully fund and support the U.S. Senate campaign of Dr. Alan L. Keyes.

I'm posting this on FR because all freepers across America are welcomed and encouraged to sign. And after you do, please forward it to others you know:

Unspun Petition Page

A re-elected President George W. Bush and our nation NEED Alan Keyes to assume Peter Fitzgerald's Senate seat. Fitzgerald was elected running as unapologetic conservative and that's exactly what Keyes is doing. Alan Keyes CAN win this election but only through the national efforts of conservatives everywhere. He is jumping into the race during the time of crisis when the Democrats are way ahead on fundraising.

It is especially important for Ambassador Keyes' wonderful voice of insightful American statesmanship and conscience to be heard in the Senate, instead of the liberal extremity represented by Barack Obama's Illinois State Senate votes.

This petition simply calls for Republican leaders to unite, to:

1. Introduce Alan Keyes to the campaign contributors they know.

2. Encourage the volunteers they know, to work for Dr. Keyes.

3. Strongly endorse Alan Keyes and work with his campaign

The time is short in this unique and historic campaign. The eyes of the nation are upon it. Alan Keyes' message must get to all the voters of Illinois.

The above link explains further. Opening it, you will see that this petition is starting to be being signed by dedicated Illinoisans and other Americans of principle, including grass roots and political leaders.

Won't you add your your name and town to the list?

The link to the petition itself is:

Thank you! Please pass it on! BUMP this thread!

The answer to that question is, "Because we've had to defend George W. Bush to you for four years."

Really? When?

Or are you just projecting?

I am someone who doesn't particularly care for Alan Keyes. Other than that, you know NOTHING about me.

I'm tired of you getting personal with people based on nothing more than THAT. GROW UP.

Alan has more integrity in his little finger than all of his FR critics have in their collective collectivist bodies put together.

Yeah, so he makes sure all his campaign debts are paid, takes care of all his taxes on time, and he "deeply resent[s] the destruction of federalism represented by Hillary Clinton's willingness to go into a state she doesn't even live in and pretend to represent people there. So [he] certainly wouldn't imitate it." .

Hey, wait......

Man, your reponse was weak; but I can imagine doing this 24/7 leaves you with little else to reply with.

Don't y'all have some Democrats to attack?

A better question would be, don't you?

Just playing defense.

Oh no you are NOT. You are attacking people. You are acting like a fifth-grader, taking cheap, personal shots. I have watched you pull this crap for the past few days, and I have said little, but at this point I have HAD it.

Nevermind that! He is the very definition of "integrity"! When you look it up in the dictionary, you find his photograph!! He has more in his little finger than all of his critics on FR put together, don'tcha know?

I'm beginning to think that all his integrity is in his little finger.

"...Who can forget the look on the President’s face when Chief-of Staff Andy Card leaned over in that classroom and told him what had happened? It was a defining moment for America and the world, yes—but it was also the supreme moment of truth for George W. Bush.

How did he respond? Superbly. The fire of trial didn’t consume him, as it would some. It merely showed the fine quality of the metal he is made of.

He prayed. He demonstrated his faith in the One Who has the power both to raise up and put down nations. He had the understanding to recognize his need for the prayers of his fellow citizens, and the humility to ask for those prayers.

He reassured America in words worthy of history, and worthy of his office. And he did it with sincerity—with a power and a heartfelt passion that rang true to the American people.

He comforted the stricken. He honored the first responders—those heroes who went up the stairs on that day when everyone else was trying to go down. He encouraged those they left behind—the ones who now faced the task of putting their stricken cities and broken lives back together again.

Most importantly, he fully recognized his primary duty as the Commander-in-Chief—to protect the lives and the liberty of the American people. He immediately began to take concrete steps to greatly strengthen our national security and preparedness.




It was soon evident who had perpetrated the cowardly attacks. Radical Islamists of Osama Bin Laden’s Al Qada organization, operating out of their bases in Afghanistan, were identified as having carried them out...

...The President didn’t equivocate. He had no weasel words. He made a decision that America was not going to tolerate terrorists or terrorism, or those who support them or it. He set his mind and his heart to go after these animals with all of the force and the power of the United States of America.

George W. Bush, in spite of vicious opposition from Leftists of every stripe in this country and abroad, has been resolute. He has not wavered. He has stuck by his determination to not give the terrorists any chance to catch their breath or to regroup—no opportunity to carry out their desire to bring additional harm to more innocent men, women and children.

He has energized and inspired the men and women of our Armed Forces—the greatest troops that have ever served this or any other nation. They truly respect and love this man—many of them have told me that repeatedly. (Besides, it’s obvious just looking at their demeanor.)

Together, they smashed Al Quada in Afghanistan, along with the Taliban tyrants that gave them refuge. While the defeatists cried about how the country would become a ‘quagmire’ for us as it had been for the Soviets, speeding their demise, our forces secured the country in weeks—with minimal loss of life. Any terrorists still operating in the mountains of Afghanistan now plot their evil with minimal support, and from caves..."


An excerpt, written by yours truly, a year and a half ago when I endorsed the President for reelection.

Pretty ringing endorsement for a critic, eh?

How's about your write one for Alan...

You've gotten your psyche mixed up with Alan's; or are you the candidate?

The best defense is a good offense, you know.

Y'all can dish it out, but scream bloody murder when someone stands up to you.

You're the bullies, and have been for four years where it concerns Alan Keyes.

I don't know about that. I've seen you bullying some women lately. Don't sell yourself short.

P.S. You fight like a girl.

I said 'thank you' because I was in a place today that reminded me that a 'girl' can fight like a tigress when necessary.

And because of that, my sister's murderer will either die in the electric chair or spend the rest of his days behind bars.

Today I stood sadly
Looking at the spot where she fell
Yes, he killed her, but not before
She gave him holy hell

And the fact that she did
Will make him pay
She made him bleed profusely
And leave his DNA

LOL!!! This over-the-top saccharine hyperbole is the very reason so many of us are turned off by you Keysters.

He believes all the dewey-eyed, rose-petal-throwing fawning that his Stepford followers shower on him.

Illinois issues, EV. Where are the Illinois issues?

I'm sorry to hear what happened to your sister. She was fighting for her life, and it sounds like she fought hard. I admire that.

But you're not fighting for your life here on FR.

I understand your desire to see Keyes win - reluctantly (because I fear his inability to rein in the vitriol when it comes to other Republicans), many of us share it, to a degree - I just wish you would stop trying to paint horns and tails on people who don't like his style.

People aren't bad just because they prefer those who refrain from making caustic remarks about the President.

Well, we've been trying to go after the crackhead socialst RAT from Hawaii for a while, but the OBAMA CHEERLEADING SQUADTM is too busy insisting the guy gave a brilliant speech at KerryFest 2004 and should be coroneted Senator for life tomorrow.
