So, now you're suggesting that Chicago's blacks could not think without Alan...but you're trying to attract their vote.

I'm sorry but you are very wrong. There was absolutely zero chance of Keyes winning this election, except maybe if Obama was caught with a dead girl or a live boy, and even then it was iffy. Illinois unfortunately is a moderate leaning liberal state, that can be persuaded to vote Republican, but needs to have a reasoned voice.
And although I wholeheartedly agree with Amb. Keyes on many issues, I personally can't stand to hear him speak. It's almost like fingenails on a chalkboard, or worse Al Gore, since he sounds to me like he is talking down to us. Despite this, I would have voted for him, but this reparations business, and no matter how much the Keyes kool-aid drinkers would like to spin it this is reparations, leaves me either voting Libertarian or leaving the Senate race blank.

"Illegals" is a race?OK, cultural pandering. I guess that's conservative and racial pandering isn't.

What you think about Alan's speaking style is an irrelevancy. Grow up.
Such arguments are akin to those who dis GW because he makes an occasional verbal gaffe.
And to vote libertarian or not vote would be a deriliction of duty on your part.
Just suck it up and say, "Okay, big deal, I disagree with the guy on one issue."

"Conservative activist Jack Roeser met with Keyes for what Roeser called "a long argument and an intense one" over the issue before the speech. A Barrington businessman, Roeser said he still is not sold on Keyes' reparations proposal, but still plans to support him anyway. "I will tell my friends that this is a good man, and we should support him." Ditto. Keyes maintains support after a long, intense argument. It's a tax cut and Keyes is not a puppet.

Can we pay reparations in Confederate dollars?

So, now you're suggesting that Chicago's blacks could not think without Alan... The evidence of their consistent votes to stay on the RAT plantation would certainly seem to suggest that, yes.

Illinois Republicans and conservatives can always vote for "live-abortion", NRA F-rated, always-hike-your-taxes, way-to-the-left-of-Hillary-or-Kerry Obama.

A lot of people have not been presented with different options, and too bad that a lot of people just think voting republican is voting for racist white males.

Just suck it up and say, "Okay, big deal, I disagree with the guy on one issue." Much like supporting a tax-cutting, gun-rights supporting, UN-opposing Republican whose strategy for winning the war is weekly human sacrifices to Moloch the Devourer. Hey, three out of four ain't bad!

Just suck it up and say, "Okay, big deal, I disagree with the guy on one issue."I seem to recall that you're one of the loudest to demand absolute conformity to your ideology, even at the expense of losing elections.
I know...you were for absolute ideological purity before you were against it.

A lot of people seem to think a tax break is "paying money" to someone. They probably think their IRS refund is money the government gives them too.

Some blacks believe if you are white and your are not rich its because you were lazy. Same thing some whites believe about blacks. Interesting.
