Wake Up, Illinois!

Barack Obama IS the most liberal member of the Illinois Legislature.

If elected, Barack Obama WOULD BE the most liberal member of the United States Senate; to the Left of Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry.

But you have a great alternative.

Ambassador Alan Keyes is a seasoned statesman. He is highly respected on Capitol Hill. When he speaks, Senators and Congressmen listen.

Alan Keyes has worked for years to build a national constituency of conscience which will help make him a highly effective advocate for the State and the people of Illinois in the Senate.

Alan Keyes will be a force to be reckoned with in the areas of fundamental tax reform, the elimination of government waste, and in promoting economic prosperity and job growth.

Alan Keyes is a highly regarded expert on foreign policy, defense, security and intelligence matters. He is known and respected by world leaders. What could be more important in this time when we must fight the worldwide War on Terror?

And finally, Alan Keyes is fully committed to the long-term project of reforming politics and government in Illinois.

Ignore the polls…

Ignore the pundits…

Vote for the best man…

Not a single ballot has yet been cast.

We are still registering Bush/Keyes voters.

With your help, Alan Keyes can win!

PS...I don't care where you live in the country. If you want to help change Illinois and defeat the socialist Obama, I have something for you to do. EV

I hope Keyes can pay off his campaign debt.

I attended the Keyes rally at the Greater Chicagoland Airport at Rockford. More than 600 people showed up. The TV stations were there. The local news paper, the Rockford Register Star (www.rrstar.com), did not cover it. I have been told by someone who called them that Keyes would get no coverage since he couldn't win, and that he was akin to Ralph Nader.

As long as they have this horse race/football pool mentality (actually an excuse to hide their liberal bias), it will be hard for an underfunded campaign to break out.

I can say that Keyes beats Obama in Rockford in lawn signs by about 2-1. I have seen more Keyes signs than Bush signs.

I'm thinking about writing in Rauschenburger.

I don't like Obama one bit, but Keyes just isn't going to win.

[Cicero]

Another thread posted here said that the kerry campaign has tapped Obama to try to sell kerry to black voters. He has been to speak in some of the battleground states.

I assume that means Obama is confident that he has the race in Illinois sewed up. He probably does, although maybe some advantage might be taken of his absence.

[malakhi]

The Dems are complacent.

A 51 point lead in the latest Chicago Tribune poll will do that.

I have to wonder why you and 1smallvoice are permitted to post short, unsourced vanity after vanity on the Keyes campaign. Typically, threads like this are pulled or moved to "Chat" or "Bloggers". What did you say here that couldn't just as well be said in a reply to an existing news thread?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Do you know the old adage of what the definition of insanity is?

INSANITY: DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT
EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS.

Maybe Keyes needs to take a look at his succeses/failures and tweak it a bit.

[Hurricane Andrew]

Keyes never had a shot. I've said it from day 1. His carpet bagger comment about Hillary's NY Senate run was all that was needed by the Dems, even if the race had been competitive at the outset. It was a waste to use a great man such as Keyes the way the IL GOP used him. As an outsider looking in, the IL GOP appears to need a complete overhaul. They are absolutely worthless.

Back to topic: More reasons to defeat Obama

Obama has been labeled as one of the most dangerous men in America

Tuesday, September 28, 2004

How can one label GOP Senatorial Candidate Alan Keyes a flaming radical when his Democratic [read Socialist] opponent Barack Obama’s documented voting record proves him to be so far out in left field, he’s off of the radar screen on most issues.

Obama opposes:
• the Defense of Marriage Act
  
• the Federal Marriage Amendment
  
• appointing judges who strictly interpret the Constitution
  
• protecting free speech, including Biblical texts, from being taken as “hate speech” against homosexuals
  
• informed consent for women seeking abortion
  
• a ban for taking minors across state lines for abortion
  
• banning the heinous Partial Birth Abortion procedure
  
• maintaining banning abortions on U.S. military bases
  
• banning human cloning research
  
• public school choice, vouchers, home schooling
• expanding abstinence-education programs
  
• defunding the United National Population Fund which
• supports forced abortions in China
  
• funds for new military weapons systems
  

Obama supports:

• Civil unions that give legal rights to gay and lesbian couples
  
• special “civil” rights for homosexuals
  
• the repeal of the “don’t ask-don’t tell” military policy
  
• the expansion of “hate crimes” to include sexual orientation
• laws requiring Catholic hospitals to perform abortions
  
• appointing only judges who favor abortion rights
  
• allowing the sale of over-the-counter abortifacient morning-after pills, regardless of health risks
  
• funding for embryonic stem-cell research
  
• application of Kyoto treaty for global warming restrictions
  
• government-controlled health care
  
• seeking U.N. approval on national security issues.
  
  

Don’t let Barack Obama’s smooth rhetoric and studied eloquence fool you. Obama has been labeled as one of the most dangerous men in America - winning perfect voting-record scores from the most rabid, left-wing proponents around. Obama makes Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry look anemic and has spent his entire political energies warring against the foundations of American liberties.

Remember, a hedonist is a person whose highest goal in life is pleasure. A socialist is a person whose highest pleasure is enslaving your body and soul to the State.

Vote Alan Keyes for U.S. Senator!

Keyes will be lucky to get 35% of the vote.

[Nan48]

Here's a poll to Freep. http://www.zwire.com/site/news.asp?brd=1719

Alan Keyes: 42.6%
I won't vote: 5.8%
I don't live there but I would vote for Obama if I did: 8.3%
I don't live there but I would vote for Keyes if I did: 5.9%

votes: 812

"He is highly respected on Capitol Hill. When he speaks, Senators and Congressmen listen."

There are over 500 Senators and Congressmen. Name five who respect him.

[Fatalis]

" Obama is spending very little time in IL. He's running from all but two debates. "

It just sounds like he's sitting on a big lead. Politics as usual.

[Dengar01]

Get serious, there is no possible way that Alan Keyes can win, none!

Most people in this state see him as crazy he isn't even getting 20% of the vote! I don't want to see Obama win either but the only way he would lose is if it came out he was a space alien or a serial killer and even then he'd probably be out Keyes.

The Illinois GOP is the saddest organization in this country. We were plagued by corruption and now the entire party is looked at as a joke. We have Judy Baar RINO running the party and abortionists like Corrine Wood calling us conservatives as the "fringe".

The Republican Party in this state needs to dump Judy Baar and find a younger more charismatic leader. Judy Baar looks like a beer vendor at the White Sox game to most of us and she votes like Mayor Daley.

What can we do that don't live there? Freepmail or just tell me.

[HitmanLV]

Is there a Keyes/Obama debate scheduled yet?
