First of all, I'm from MD which is where Keyes is from, he is not from Ill. Lets be serious. And please, do not question my conservatism. I believe in tax cuts until there is nothing left. I'm pro-life, and Keyes is right about the moral crisis in USA. But what we need to win are trojan horses, like Bush. He came in all moderate and then took care of business for us and america is better for it. Keyes is not a trojan horse, he scares people. He can't win and therefore, we lose. Nothing is more important than winning. Once you win you do whatever you want.
Correction: Once a politician wins, he can do anything he wants. Right now Obama is the Trojan horse. We need to get away from those, not encourage them by either voting for them or discouraging their opponents and the allies of their opponents, IMO. If people vote only for a farce, then elections are farce. It is much better to be aware of the things for which candidates will stand and fight as well as the things that will cause them to wilt under the slightest pressure. That way we vote based on the knowledge we have, not the lies they offer us to capture our vote.
Its actually worse than that. He's so intemperate and exercises such poor judgement, even if he got in he would end up hurting us. A slick orator, and dat's it.
But you can win battles and lose wars.
Keyes represents a form of political thought and action that chooses to not be held captive to the expedient.
Over the long haul, it is Keyes' brand of conservatism that shows the way to liberty, long-term growth and maximum prosperity.
Far from it. In fact I wasn't even talking to you.
