"Principled"? Alan Keyes is NOT a principled man at all!

Disagree..... I think Keyes is a very principled person.... now we may have to do a Clinton and define 'is' one more time...

Give him credit. If he's stirring up the debate and emotions in IL like he's got the 'conniptions' going here on FR then he's accomplishing something that no one else could do in the IL Senate race.....

Now the real question is: Which type conniptions are these?
Pitching, throwing, or having

The strategy seems to be to stay in the Chicago area, stir up a considerable amount of controversy so he gets press attention from the Sun Times and Trib & other Chicago media--thus some name recognition. My guess is his next step is to head to downstate and try to win over those voters.

A principled man doesn't flip flop on many of his supposed core beliefs and he's yet again driving away,with his own words,the very people he needs and should have expected to get votes from.

This reparations garbage is yet another time (I think this makes the third,but it could be more)Keyes has used the RACE CARD!Reparations,for TWO GENERATIONS (that's 50 years,BTW),in the form of no taxes for blacks,who are the descendants ( and just HOW are they going to PROVE that and how much money will it cost?)of slaves? And what about the blacks whose ancestors OWNED SLAVES? And what about people of mixed races?

And why,WHY, should people whose ancestors or they,themselves came to America after the Civil War?

And you know as well as I do,that Dems will try to then raise taxes on everyone else,because in their book, any monies NOT going to the government,even if it is just a guesstimate of future money,is a loss.Not to mention that this,reparations and special interest payoffs are NOT a Conservative position at all.

There are already a LOT of conniption fits,benumbing white GOPers and Conservatives,in Ill.,over Keyes without this garbage.
