Keyes is using this as a precuser for tax cuts for all. It's a brillant strategy when you think about it, even if he loses the Senate race. The libs are falling all over this.It has the closet socialists on FR in quite an uproar. They are jumping up and down screaming "Keyes is a liberal" while blithely defending "W"s far more leftist actions like signing CFR, sucking up to Kennedy with billions from the feds for education, funding UN building restoration, promising to sign the AWB, calling for higher immigration limits while proposing Amnesty for illegals while completely ignoring border security.
And Keyes big sin? A tax break.

Racial pandering.
Even EV admitted to it in post #113.

Yes and Alan Keyes is for less government, but imagine the bureaucratic nightmare enacting such a plan would be. It's just not christian to me. Such a plan would have been nice right after the war but that was not to be.

It amazes me that people who are forever claiming to back Keyes because of his principles, can't see just how unprincipled this is.

But he's giving the Republican party a bad name. That is my concern too. But it is now un-PC at FR to suggest this.

"Alan only needs a small slice of the black Illinois electorate to walk away with this seat." So you admit that this is racial pandering for votes.

I see you noted Bush's racial pandering. Good for you. No amnesty for illegals!

From what I hear, the IRS already has a problem with folks taking special exemptions for being decendants of slavery. With an invitation from Keyes, I'm sure those numbers will grow.
He is getting mileage out of these statements, I'm just afraid he is alienating conservatives and the liberals he seeks will not reward him in the voting booth. I'm no strategist, though.
To: TigersEye
No reparations now or ever.
By the way, where's Bush engaging in racial pandering?

Which is what he wanted to do from the start. A ridiculous claim. Silly in fact.

"I'm no strategist, though."That's OK...neither is Alan.

I am NOT supporting Keyes on this because he apparently doesn't care what the opinions of others are. Now if he had to be on FR to read what people write here sometimes, I'd bet he'd realize what a racially polarizing thing reparations is.

I think Keyes' biggest problem is his failure to comprehend how seriously dense many Republicans can be. Alan Keyes is has consistently and articulately argued ALL the arguments that we Conservatives support. He has always been exactly what we have wanted in a candidate. He fails to understand how quickly many dim Republicans will abandon him if he makes some rhetorical arguments to entrap Democrats...

Sometimes radical surgery is required. Sometimes you have to fight cancer with engineered cancer cells.
Chicago blacks are thinking. This is a good thing.

I would have advised Keyes to not bring this up AT ALL. It is alienating a lot of his base. If I was an Illinois voter, I'd have a real hard time voting for Keyes.
